Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Worst medical experience of my life
I had a terrible experience with this dentist. He didn’t introduce himself, ask my name, or show any concern for my comfort. During the implant procedure, I was in pain, but he continued without regard. When I asked why certain steps were necessary, like the drilling, he dismissed me, saying everything was fine without offering a clear explanation. After I expressed concern, he made an offhand comment of “oh geez” and gave me a horrible attitude. When I asked for details about the procedure, he refused to answer and walked away. His assistant claimed he doesn’t need bedside manner because she does, but I paid $6000 for this procedure and deserved respect and transparency. The dentist’s dismissiveness, lack of professionalism, and attitude were unacceptable. He belongs nowhere near people.

Abandoned
I met him for a consultation for 2 implants. He jacked up the price to much more than advertised. He scheduled surgery for 3 months from the visit. He left or was dismissed from the practice and no one ever contacted me. I showed up for surgery and he was gone. Wouldn’t treat an animal that way.

Where do I begin there is no words to say to thank Dr.Kareth for returning my smile back in 1998 I lost the father of my children and I suddenly became a single mom of three beautiful boys for the next 10 years I put myself on the back burner and made sure the boys were taken care of, I slowly began to lose teeth and my gums would bleed, fast forward, I went to see Dr.Kareth and he explained to me in detail all that would need to be done to fix my situation and I could not afford it he talked to finance and they helped me find an option that would help me pay it in payments he did the job for less to make work the numbers for me. I hope if he reads my post he understands how happy I am to this day with my smile. I am forever grateful to him for his love and care to his patients if your thinking of going to see a dentist you've found the best in Dr.Scott Kareth.

I have been trying to get paid by our insurance for 5 months. The information that the insurance company has on file is not the same that the dentist office is submitting in regards to their TIN #, etc. Instead of picking up the phone and correcting the information with the insurance company, they just keep submitting the claim that is incorrect and it's denied resulting in us not getting reimbursed. I give up & resort to leaving negative comments and letting people know about our experience.
