Alldredge Carla DDS 4727 Rosebud Lane, Newburgh, IN 47630

"My experience at this place? Absolutely terrible. Are people actually kind anymore? When you have a dental assistant, or whatever she was, look you straight in the face and tell you that you made your decision about getting a tooth extracted or a root canal WITHOUT finishing reading the notes to see that you were undecided, while being rude as all get out, you tend to not want to be in their “professional environment” anymore. After waiting 25 minutes for the dentist to even come see me, I went to the desk to ask for my referrals so I could get the hell out of that place, which of course were to providers NOT in network for my insurance. The dentist, Carla, was finally walking over to where I was and said “You’re leaving, okay, leave if you want to”. Honestly, if you want to be treated like dirt, go ahead and come see the people at this place, they’re great at that."

"I have been a regular patient of Dr. Alldredge for at least ten years. Until recently I had never had an issue with her care or her office. After my last visit, however, there was a misunderstanding over $15 that her office said I owed. I've always told the office staff to tell me during my visit what I owed so I could pay right away. At the time I paid $15 and thought I was paid in full. Then her office sent out a bill for another $15 with no explanation as to why. I disregarded it as I thought it was sent in error and figured I would make sure it was fixed at my next 6 month visit. In retrospect, I know I should've just called, but honestly I've always had good interactions with the staff in the past and had every reason to believe it was not a huge deal. Unfortunately I was very wrong! The office has now sent me a letter telling me that Dr. Alldredge is dropping me as a patient and has sent my bill to collections. In addition they are now trying to charge me an additional $100 fee for sending it to collections. I contacted Dave, the new office manager to try to resolve the matter and not only was he rude and indifferent about my issue, but he was also unwilling to do anything to assist me in resolving the manner and had absolutely NO problem losing my business over $15. I am not a person who owes debts and have NEVER had an intention of not paying something I owe, but I also expect that when I have a long-standing relationship with a provider without ever having an issue that there could be a little give and take. If I justifiably owed another $15 then I would have appreciated at least understanding why that is the case before it is sent to collections and I would have promptly paid in full. As I said, I tried to do that during my last visit anyway. This all could have been resolved easily and without issue if this new office manager was AT ALL interested in patients and not just a dollar figure. Now I'm dealing with a collection agency for some nonsense her office refused to try to resolve civilly and I'm going to have to find a new dentist over what I would have considered a minor matter. It's honestly just disappointing! Maybe this is just standard business practice, but be warned any issues with Dr. Alldredge's office (no matter how minor) could result in a major headache for you!"

"I came here for a standard cleaning and had a some silver fillings replaced. After the filling I had sensitivity on that side. After a week I called back because I’ve never had a filling bother me for more than a day. She had me come back, looked at the tooth, had me bite down on the purple thing and said it was fine. She said it can be sensitive for up to six months. I thought that was insane but I’m not a doctor. Flash forward 9 months I went to someone else because I honestly didn’t trust her. My new dentist could tell immediately that she did not remove all the silver from the filling that she replaced. You could see it through the new composite. Leaving some of the old filling can cause contamination and therefore sensitivity. Furthermore, once he started removing the filling she put in, he said there was a void on the other wall of my tooth. Meaning there was like an air bubble, which can also cause sensitivity and further issues down the road. When I asked how that happens he said it can be from not packing the filling down all the way or from not bleeding out the air in the composite syringe before using it. His explanation made sense since she did three of my fillings in about 15 minutes while my new dentist took about 40 minutes to do one. She rushed. She did a terrible job. And I spent 9 months not being able to eat on the left side of my face over something as basic and simple as a FILLING. I don’t even want to think about how messed up my teeth could’ve been if she did a more complicated procedure. I won’t ever be going back."

"She only saw me two times. 1st time was for a cleaning. Did not like the water jet cleaning system at all. I have had problems with my teeth ever since. I had to have a cavity filled so 2nd visit they told me my dental fillings were not covered. I had to go outside and call my insurance. They always pay for cleaning checkup and follow up care. I then had to school the secretary in what my insurance pays for and have him read further in my evidence of coverage. Handled that and scheduled for next visit and they called to cancel (no longer accepting my insurance). Not the nicest place I’ve ever been but certainly the worse."

"My family has been seeing her since she opened her practice. Started off great, but the last two years every time we go the whole staff is new. My appointments get canceled because of her personal life and her staff quitting all the time. The last time I made an appointment they changed it without telling me and when I tried to reschedule because of their goof up they wouldn’t see me or my son for 6 months. My wife had an appointment this week and she canceled my wife and said my whole family was on the inactive list now. My last cleaning was horrible, my mouth hurt for days. Stay away from this dentist. She is quit possibly the worst dentist I’ve been to. It’s a shame because she used to care about her patients and practice!!!!!!!"
