Dr. John Maroon 310 3rd Avenue, Chula Vista, CA 91910

"Office staff have reduced this place to a do not do business with operation. Miss-charges and failure to correct or return calls have been reason for me to find a new dentist after coming here for over 15 years."

"I saw Dr. Maroon once when he owned Carlsbad Dental Arts. He seemed like a good dentist but when I walked in for my second appointment two weeks later, a gentleman looking like a Doctor was standing in the reception area. I asked, "Are you a new dentist here?" He responded I am the only dentist here and "Dr. Maroon sold me his business". I said, "In the last two weeks?!" He said yes. It would have been nice to know I was seeing a completely new dentist at a completely new business before I walked in. The new dentist did a new exam. All the findings were about the same, except the cost went from an estimated $5400 to ... wait for it.... $14000+. I called Dr. Maroon's office in Encinitas to see if he could see me, and honor the first estimate he gave me. Receptionist told me the deal they made restricted them from seeing any previous Carlsbad patients. It is really outrageous the price differences for the same procedures. And it's disgusting the way the whole thing was handled. I shouldn't walk in a doctors office to such a complete change in Doctors, staff, and especially prices. Someone should have called or emailed previous patients to alert them of the change, and give the option to ME whether I wanted to see a new dentist at a new practice. The whole thing was handled very poorly, and if this is the consideration Dr. Maroon has for his patients, it says a lot about him. Horrible businessman. I'm going to Washington Dental in Tijuana to get all the work done instead for half the cost of original estimate. Good riddance Dr. Maroon and your shady business practices!"
