Slidell Family Dentistry 1430 Old Spanish Trail, Slidell, LA 70458

"I had a really long and detailed review written out that I spent lots of time on, but the character limit was exceeded and it wouldn’t tell me by how much so I am giving up and posting this summary. I have spent way too much money on dental care over the past few years. Between surgeries and implants and braces, it’s been a nightmare. I called Dr. Hildebrandt’s office in search of fair prices that could keep my remaining care from costing too much. That didn’t happen at all. Instead, I was lied to on the phone about the prices for what I needed. I went in for my exam and got a quote WAY higher than what I was told on the phone. $7500, or with their in office insurance $5900. Another office quoted me $5500, and when I had that first phone call, I told them this, and that I was on Medicaid and in search of affordable care. They still told me to come in and that they could help. It wasn’t until after I gave them money that they told me that Lacombe Dental would be cheaper. Why didn’t they tell me this when I first called and specified that I wanted to save money? Why lie and tell me they can help and that the prices were so low, when in fact they weren’t? I was deceived and the best they could offer when I called them out on this was a partial refund or a credit if I get work done. Why would I get more expensive work done with them? That’d be stupid. Oh also I checked with a few friends and random associates and a handful of them actually had a similar experience. So I’m not the only one being lied to. That sucks. Sorry this isn’t the most detailed review, but hopefully you’ll just trust that this office is one you should avoid if you want to save money on dental care. And if the financial side of things wasn’t enough, I don’t trust the work either because Dr. Hildebrandt recommended a filling for a cavity that Lacombe Dental showed needed a crown. But back to money - even with that extra crown, Lacombe Dental was still well over $2000 cheaper than Hildebrandt. And no, that’s not an exaggeration. Best of luck in your decision to go here to get robbed, or go elsewhere and enjoy spending that saved money on someone special during Christmas."

"Dr. Ian was wonderful! He talked me through filling two cavities. He was very informative and nice the whole time. He was very concerned as to whether or not I was in pain. I would recommend them to anyone who needs dental work done."

"Dr. Ian Landesman is a great dentist! He is straight forward answering all my questions. I highly recommend going to him for all your dental needs. You won’t be disappointed!"

"Absolutely wonderful staff. I have seen both dentists and they are excellent. The front desk staff is so kind as are the hygienists. So easy to make an appointment, very convenient hours. If you are looking for a place to spend a lot of time in the waiting room, this is not it. As soon as you sit down you are being called to get started. Definitely recommend."

"Saw Dr. Ian as a new patient and the entire experience for a medical office was above and beyond my high standards. I have worked in the medical field 10+years and this office gets 5 stars in my book. Everything from friendliness, making an appointment, clean office, staff that cares about you, comfortable chairs with TVs. Definitely did not feel like a "scary torture dentist office". Doc and staff were very personable and I'm so glad I chose this office as my dentist."
