Martin R Pittman DDS Ms Pc

I'm a bit frustrated with the lack of clear information. I was referred to Dr. Linebarger's office for a root canal. I called to get a price, and on two separate occasions they told me it would cost $1305 and that would cover everything. So I wait a month for my appointment and when I get there I learn it's actually $1305 + another $200 for a \"permanent filling.\" After the procedure I then learn that they are now referring me back to my dentist for a crown over or in place of the \"permanent filling\" which will cost additional $800. So I will spend about $2500 on this tooth. I know I only spoke to the receptionist on the phone, but I feel she should be able to provide more accurate and comprehensive information concerning the required procedures and pricing. As for the procedure itself, I thought they did a good job. Hopefully the root canal holds up for a long time.
