Ramos Michael J & Associates

I have been a patient of dr Ramos for more than 20 years. Dr Ramos and staff make me feel like family. I have complete confidence in them.

I had been encouraged & referred here by 3 – 4 friends, but I was very content with where I had been going.
However on a recent-​routine exam –cleaning some decay was revealed on rear-​back tooth.
Dentist showed me the x-​ray, said we need to tackle it soon, before it hits the root, I asked for an estimate.
Filling & Crown $ 1300
I replied I have very limited-​small dental benefits until January, can I wait.
Not likely as the root is .2 away & if it hits your root add $ 1,000
My head was spinning-​swirling.
So I called Dr Ramos-​Dr. Feinauer office.
Shannon answered, I explained that I had been referred here & explained my morning.
She understood & sympathized with my dilemma, she encouraged me to grab my x-​rays & stop in for 2^nd opinion.
«How do i get a copy of my x-​rays ?»
Well Mr C. you paid for them, they should provide a copy for free or as a courtesy.
Went back to my dentist, requested a copy, they were concerned «Why»?
I replied I need a second opinion.

30 minutes later Dr. Feinauer was able to see & examine me.
He agreed with the previous hypothesis & the urgency
BUT said a 90% possibility to forgo a crown, but that would be determined by
digging
probing
exploring as teeth x-​rays are not as clear as you would think.
He pulled out a pricing sheet
Ballpark estimate depending on potential depth
$ 185 -$ 250
Seemed more than fair, then Shannon was able to get me in 2 days later
July 31^st.
Went in nitrous was provided, as was a very wonderful numbing agent & the shot as well, Dr. Feinauer technique was VERY GENTLE & THOROUGH
The decay was not as bad as expected.
Shannon called my retiree health care & found a little coverage so I paid $ 81 out of pocket & the $ 155 was billed-​covered
Now 1 month later
No problems
No hot-​cold issues
Nice filling.
I appreciated very much the peace of mind from a second opinion
A staff/​dentist that went above & beyond
Who were sensitive to my budget.

I love Dr. Ramos and Dr. Feinauer! They can usually get you in quickly, and they are great with kids and adults!
