Precision Periodontics & Endodontics

"BEWARE of Dr. Neda Azadivatan! Whatever you do, DO NOT go to Precision Periodontics & Endodontics in Clifton Park, NY! She will try and pull a fast one on you. She's just as shady as her practice. I made the mistake of going there because I was referred by my dentist. I arrived at my appointment for a root canal. To my surprise and disappointment, my appointment was for an evaluation not a root canal. So, I had to make another appointment and take another day off work. The visit cost me $391.00. She tacked on unnecessary tests and procedures to line her pockets. The day of the appointment, I get a call from the office telling me I need to reschedule because the doctor was sick. In all, she cancelled on the day of my appointment not 1, not 2, but 3 times! Unbelievable! I decided she was too unreliable and I told the office manager that I'm going to have to find another dentist. I also told her I should get a partial refund for my wasted time and inconvenience (I live 90 miles away). She said she will ask the doctor and get back to me. Of course, she never did. What ethical doctor cancels 3 times the day of an appointment? This was intentional! After the entire ordeal was over, I looked up Dr. Neda's reviews on Google. I went by the most recent. And what I noticed is that there are some people that had good experiences with 5 star reviews. But most were terrible with 1 star reviews. As I scroll down, I see 5 stars, 1 star, 4 stars and 1 star respectively. Basically, it’s either she’s off or she's on. It shouldn’t be like that. That’s NOT how a doctor should be. I located a good dentist in my area and made an appointment for a root canal. He did the consult and x-rays on the same day as the root canal. Furthermore, I was not charged for the consult and X-rays. It was all included in the cost of the root canal. The doctor was very friendly, courteous and answered my questions thoroughly. Unlike Dr. Nada, who was very rude and short and gave one-word answers, “yes” and “no” (I'm not making that up). Please take heed to my warning about this incompetent dentist. She will waste your time and take your money. I learned my lesson to check the reviews first. :("

"Called them to see if they were able to do a procedure for me. The receptionist scoffed at me and said of course they were. I replied that I would like to schedule a consultation, she said they require a pan x-Ray and also if I have a referral to send that over. I asked if I needed a referral, she said no, but that they need a pan x-Ray. She was honestly rude, her tone was very condescending and impatient. I sent over the X-ray and left my phone number to call me. I called them, no answer. I received an email from them that I need a referral to schedule an appointment. I relied that I didn’t have one. They responded the next day that it was required, even though I was having the procedure done for cosmetic reasons. I took it all as a sign I should not work with these people… by the looks of the other reviews on here, I made a good move."

"Dr Neda treated me for over a year. She has the most amazing bedside manner, takes pride in her work, and honors her word. She and her staff were always accommodating, professional and pleasant. Most recently there was a billing error where the office manager, Michael, took my call; he was respectful and responsive: he said he would check on something and then called me back 3 minutes later with the billing issue resolved! Thank you, Dr Neda and staff!"

"The dental assistants were the only good people at this place. If you do need a root canal done and you can make the drive I highly suggest Adirondack endodontics in Queensburry. I had never had a root canal done before and the assistants were wonderful, talking me threw how it would go. When the doctor came in he was very short with answering my questions and made me feel dumb for some of the things I asked. When he went to go and do the root canal he kept saying "I don't think I can do this" but continued to try. He got mad at me because I wasn't able to sit still because I didn't know what was going. I ended up not being able to get the root canal done and when the doctor left the office I was in tears and it was the dental assistant who calmed me down and reassured me that everything was OK. The Doctor had the worst bedside manner. They also did not tell me that I would need to go to another dentist to Get a crown put on. Which made me extra stressed. Now 4 months later after a dozen calls to not only this place, but my Dentist, and the new place that I highly recommend, I just got I stuck with a $700 bill for A root canal that never even happened. * Sidenote I went to Adirondack edodontist a couple days ago And it turns out I actually don't need a root canal done right now. The dentist there was phenomenal and I am confident that if and when I do need a root canal done I will not need sedation for it because I'm confident in him and his team."

"Having gone for a consultation this morning, I can understand all the mixed reviews. My dentist said this was the only place they refer patients to so this is the one I went to. I had a consultation today with Dr. Simon. As someone else said, I had just recently had x-rays with my dentist which they said they would send over and they ended up redoing some at this office. Perhaps the other ones were just not good enough quality. Dr. Simon came in for just a few minutes. He showed me the tooth on the x-ray and explained why I would need to go back to my dentist for a procedure. When I tried to ask him a question, he left the room and the assistant said she would answer the question. I never got clarification or my question answered. I have a friend who is an orthodontist and I asked her to see if she could check with the clinic to find out exactly what the issue was with my tooth so I would have an explanation. She said she called and was placed on hold for about 20 minutes before she hung up. Many of the reviews say that Dr. Simon has great clinical skills, while many of the negative reviews, including my own, also recognize that his personal skills are not meeting people’s expectations. Hopefully this consultation will be mostly covered by insurance. The only cost it seems I had to pay out of pocket, for now, was when the assistant dabbed some solution on my tooth to see if it hurt. Quite an expensive procedure. I hope to not need to go back there again, as I am now biased when I think about the clinic. The two star rating is not one since Dr. Simon, if unscrupulous, could have said that it warranted a root canal that they would do. Instead he referred me back to my dentist."
