Reviews of Preston Dental Centre in Ottawa

Humiliating and degrading treatment of a veteran

I booked an appointment over the phone for an exam, I explained that I did not wish to have x-rays as they were not wanted and was an unnecessary procedure at this time. I booked the time off work, went to my appointment and when I was seated in the exam room, the nurse told me what was going to happen and when she said there would be x-rays, I explained that I had told them I did not want them. She then brought in the "dentist" and again I was asked to explain why I did not want x-rays, because I guess I did not have a personal choice. After being polite and nice about it, explaining I only needed this exam in order to have a cleaning, and then I said "my body my choice", this seemed to offend her as I guess only women can say that; a man should have no choice which unnecessary procedures are performed on their body. She said that if I didn't want x-rays, they would not want me as a client, and asked me to leave in a very rude and degrading way, like she was so upset that they would not be able to charge a maximum yearly amount to the insurance company, since we know modern dentistry is just like a fast food chain, get as much money as you can from the client, based on what the insurance covers, no matter what procedure might be unnecessary and potentially harmful.

I have never been treated so poorly, so rudely, by I guess what passes as a "professional". This is no way to treat veterans, no way to treat someone based on their religious beliefs, no way to treat someone who stands by their personal choices.
