1 /5 Tasha Guidry: Medicaid patients beware. I brought my young child to see Dr. Hope Taylor for the first (and only) time on 8/12. Our previous dentist of over 12 years sold her practice, and my insurance was no longer in network with the new owner.
Dr. Taylor didnt meet with me, or speak with me at all. After my daughters exam, the assistant just came out and said "she has a mouth full of cavities, we have to fill them all". No explanations, no x-rays, no nothing. Just a bill they wanted to send Medicaid for close to $3000 dollars.
I brought my child to a well recommended dentist for a second opinion today. This dentist let me go in the back with my child, let me watch them do the x-rays (thats right, two x-rays), and informed me that everything on Dr. Hope Taylors bill was completely unnecessary because the cavities were nonexistent.
My child might, might have one (1) cavity on one (1) tooth. I say might because they couldnt tell if it was the start of a cavity or a shadow on the x-ray. This dentist did NOT recommend filling or treating this (maybe) cavity, he simply suggested I keep an eye on it and keep doing what Im doing.
Shame on you Cypress Smiles for lying to clients and the insurance company just to make a dollar. Its WRONG! Just wrong. You Dr. Hope Taylor and this company, are exactly what is wrong with the medical industy. Shame on you all.
Thank goodness I got a second opinion before letting you destroy my childs teeth. Im so grateful that there are some honest physicians still out there who see patients as people and not dollar signs.
