Quigless Kirk, DDS

If I could give negative stars, I would. This place is a total scam, I wish that I had believed the negative reviews before going to this practice. It was a consultation, no one checked my insurance before this was preformed, then they charged me almost double what the insurance covered. No cleaning was done but scheduling a total of 5+ appointments and a payment plan was set up. I was told I needed to pay them to secure my appointments… I’ve had past experiences with dentists and none have been so money hungry. I’m not an idiot, I’m a medical professional and I would advise everyone to stay away from this joke of an office.

My experience with this office was absolutely terrible. While all the staff is incredibly friendly, this practice is a scam. My first appointment turned out to be a «consultation» rather than the cleaning I believed I’d scheduled, and it only got worse from there. They supposedly found 8 cavities that needed to be filled. I’d had maybe two cavities in my life, but I trusted them. Since returning to a real dental office, I truly believe (as influenced by my real hygienist) that I was conned into spending money and getting fillings I did not need.
The cleanings preformed here are incredibly sub-​par. They only clean the dirty teeth and do not clean below the gumline, leaving tarter to build up in the worst places. It took two of the most painful cleanings of my life for my real hygienist to undo the damage from not having my teeth properly cleaned in the year or two that I was seeing Dr. Quigless.
I recently discovered a coworker of mine had also gone to this office once, was told she had cavities between her teeth, but refused to have them filled due to her financial situation at the time. When she visited a different dentist, she let him know about the supposed cavities. He took x-​rays. He took x-​rays again. She did not have any cavities.
I’m so relieved that the insurance at work changed, influencing me to return to the office and hygienist I’d previously gone to. I can’t imagine how bad things might have gotten if I’d gone longer without a proper cleaning or allowed Dr. Quigless to find, drill out, and fill more imaginary cavities. If it weren’t for my real hygienist, I would never have known that the cleanings were so terrible or that the fillings were unnecessary. You should be able to trust doctors, or you at least want to trust them. Dr. Quigless cannot be trusted. He’s a salesman, not a dentist. A salesman and a con artist.

I was very disappointed with Dr. Quigless’s practice. I actually saw one of his associates rather than Dr. Quigless himself so these are comments are broader in nature. I scheduled a cleaning but instead got a new patient screening. This is understandable, but not what I had specifically asked for. I floss a couple times a week, brush regularly, and use mouth wash. I have never had a cavity. I was immediately told I had several cavities and needed a deep cleaning. I was then referred to an individual in his office to be scheduled for these procedures which cost several thousand dollars. I just felt like they were trying to bilk money out of me rather than see me as an actual living and breathing patient.
I have since scheduled an appointment with another doctor. My insurance only allows me to get the comprehensive x-​rays once every three years. I called repeatedly to get the x-​rays sent to my new dentist. Nothing happened. Finally they agree to send my x-​rays to the new office. They sent paper copies. I am not even kidding. All of their x-​rays are kept digitally but they refused to send them. I am not actually sure it is legal for them to deny me access to my own health records like that. Overall I just have a very bad feeling from the get go. I would avoid this practice.

I am so shocked with these reviews. I have been a long time patient at the practice for 7 plus years. I have always been treated with utmost respect, had top notch dental treatment and have always been explained my billing and have been given several options of treatment, with one of them being «do nothing at all»! I don’t agree at all with these reviews and I have been referring Dr. Quigless friends and family for years. I hope that if you all are making decisions based on reviews to please read this and know that this dental practice is top notch and I would recommend them to anyone.

After going in a cleaning appt I was told after an hour that I would not be getting a cleaning because I was a new patient. I understand they want to get a look at my teeth; but, what they did was not necessary! I was told I had 8, yes 8, cavities! I haven’t had more than 5 cavities my entire life! I knew I was in trouble when they started showing me videos about gum disease off the bat. I got a second opinion by a very reputable dentist (I had gone there in the past, but they are a hour away so I wanted to find somewhere closer) that I barely had 1 cavity!
Total sham! I would never recommend this place to anyone!

A few years ago I went to Dr. Quigless because of some pain in my jaw. I was very impressed with the look of his office and his staff. Everyone was very helpful and even complimented me on my white teeth. They in no way pressured me to get their mouth guard, etc. I felt great!
I just visited this office again after having the same pain in my jaw. When I called they could only schedule me 4 weeks later, well by that time the pain in my jaw was gone. When I arrived at the office it was of course warm and welcoming. The frustration came when I had to re-​fill the paper work that I had already done on my previous visit. Once that was completed I waited for another 35 minutes before being admitted to the back for x-​rays. After x-​rays I waited another 20 –25 minutes for the hygienist to review my x-​rays. Then another 25 minutes before the dentist came in to talk to me. Instead of focusing on my jaw issues he pointed out all the «dark» spots on my x-​rays and ordered me to have 4 fillings done asap.
I was then ushered into their «conference room» where I waited again for the billing person to discuss my treatment plan. Needless to say I was flabbergasted when I saw the amount I would have to pay after insurance. As I left I did not schedule an appointment and was met with cold stares and «promises» of following up to get me to reschedule. 2 hours at the dentist for maybe 25 minutes worth of personal interaction– too much waiting!
If I go to the dentist I want to leave smiling and with solutions that are not focused on money. I know the dentist can be expensive, but I also know with healthy habits I can reverse the decay of my teeth. Would have loved some of this from Dr. Quigless. Hoping to find a better second opinion.

Worst dental care I’ve ever had. Two crowns replaced, fit was horrible from the very beginning. Now I live my life with a toothpick in my hand. And yes, I think they would steal you blind if they thought they could get away with it.

I went to Dr. Quigless for several years. Positives include very nice and competent dental assistants whom I usually dealt with. Besides one cavity, the only time I saw Dr. Quigless was for a brief check in during my visits. The cleanings and dental care was comparable to other dentists I had used over the years.
All of the negatives around Dr. Quigless revolve around his billing practices. First, let me state that I have very good dental insurance. Regardless, anywhere I have received any type of health care, the staff has been able to tell me, during my visit, what was not covered and what I would have to pay out of pocket. This was not the case at Dr. Quigless’ office. Every visit, I would receive an additional bill in the mail following my visit. Initially, I was understanding. Although I typically just went in for a cleaning, I would do an extra cleaning every year. I thought this may cause some initial confusion.
After two years of this, I thought it was just lazy billing practices. If I had to call in, I would pay my balance. If not, I would simply pay it on my next visit, which was four months after my last. I felt this an adequate response when my billing couldn’t be provided on my visit.
That changed when I had to postpone a visit for a cleaning because of being sick. A week later, I received a letter, signed by Dr. Quigless, stating that if I did not pay my balance that it would be sent to a collection agency. His wording was unprofessional as it stated that he «didn’t understand my attitude». I was amazed, having never spoken with him or anyone else in his office about the billing. I had never been anything but pleasant to him and his staff. I found, after speaking with my sister, who had recommended Dr. Quigless, that she had left, also being wary of his additional billing.
I immediately payed my bill and cancelled my rescheduled appointment. While the dental care is good, the billing practices are questionable at best.

I started going to Dr. Quigless earlier this year after not being to the dentist for about 4 years. I had a horrible, scarring experience at another dentist and was too scared to go for a long time until my husband convinced me to find someone new and try it out. I found this office through my insurance company and figured I’d give it a shot as it’s pretty near my house and work.
The office staff is really nice and friendly and very good about reminding about appointments. You do have to make them in advance, but I’m sure in emergencies they could get you in.
The office facility is nice and very modern looking and they actually have good magazines that are recent! I haven’t had to wait much at all when I’ve been there, however.
My hygienist is Astrid, and she’s so nice and gentle. I told her the first time I went how nervous I was and she really made me feel at ease. My first appointment was pretty long, as they do xrays and all sorts of things. I got through it without pain! I felt better that I did it and luckily only had 1 cavity. I came back to get it filled and it was as good an experience as it could’ve been. The pain meds worked and I got over the whole drill sound and got through it without having a nervous breakdown.
My last appointment was routine, just a cleaning with no cavities or anything, and I was in and out in 30 minutes, which I appreciated. I always feel awesome when I leave knowing that I don’t have to go back for 6 months, but at least this office is good enough that I don’t have to worry about it being awful and that gets 5 stars from me!
