Bright Now Dental-Frederick

I saw Dr. Mizan and two hygienists today for a basic cleaning as a new patient. They had me there for two hours which I thought was excessive but I assumed they were being thorough. Dr. Mizan and two hygienists all remarked that my teeth were 'unproblematic' and 'well cared for.' At the end of all this, instead of a cleaning I was given a bill estimate of $2,800 for things like 'Deep gum cleaning' and 'Irrigation' and a $105 toothbrush that I already own and didn't request. They explained that if I declined these unnecessary items, I'd be dropped as a patient. I asked if I could still have the basic cleaning I was there for, and they said sure but it couldn't be done that day. When I went to schedule it with the receptionist, she said the first available cleaning appointment was 10 months out. BUT, if I paid the $2,800 and got the advanced procedures, I'd be seen immediately and it would include a cleaning. This is shameful. Bright Now's policies are HARMING patients.
