Robert J Carlisi, DDS

I really wasn’t happy with my experience here. Dr. Carlisi talked very condescending to me the entire visit, but said everything with a chuckle so that it would seem less rude. He just made me feel completely stupid with all my concerns I had. I’m not interested in getting mocked by a dentist so I didn’t come back. Maybe he’s a good dentist but his attitude wasn’t good so I’ll never know. I expect to be treated with kindness by someone doing a service for me.

I have been so impressed with Dr Carlisi and all of his staff! He went over my history himself (unheard of!), has taken the time to help me figure out what is going on, and even sent me a few book suggestions based on things we had spoken about. All medicine should be practiced this way!

I don’t trust this dentist at all. My husband and I went to see him when we first moved to town. My husband had a dental emergency and he was the first dentist that we found who would see him without him being an established patient. This lead us to trust him when we probably should not have. After helping my husband with the emergency, we started seeing him as our regular dentist. We did not have dental insurance and paid out of pocket. My husband ended up «needing» almost $ 20,000 worth of dental work that we will be paying off for years at a very high interest rate. My husband had bad teeth and we trusted that this dentist, who comes across as nice and highly religious, was ethical and that my husband needed this work done. I started to get suspicious when I was told that I needed extensive dental work. I have had a total of 3 cavities in my life. I was told that one of my teeth was so damaged that I needed to have a cap and that it would cost thousands of dollars. I was also told that I had gum disease and needed scaling. I had half of my mouth scaled, but could not afford the second half. I did not get the cap. At this time I got promoted at work and got dental insurance. I went to a different dentist who took my insurance. There I was told that I had very healthy gums and did not need the scaling. I was also told that the tooth that Carlisi said needed thousands of dollars worth of work was just a cavity and only needed a filling. My insurance paid for the filling, but the bill to my insurance was about $ 150.
Dr. Carlisi presents himself as a caring, local doctor who is looking out for your best interest. Instead, he takes you for everything you have. I only feel stupid for trusting him and not getting a second opinion. I know other people who received poor work from him and who were charged twice as much as they were quoted. However, that is their story to tell and not mine.
