Dr. John Ifantis DDS

Oct 2023

Wish I could give negative stars and a red stop sign. This is in response to a post I saw a few days ago. I'm grateful people are willing to share their negative review of this practice because I regret not sharing my experience earlier as I'm still dealing with the negligence of their service. It's worries me that not sharing sooner would've allowed others to experience what I'm experiencing. I too was told that I had in excess of 7 cavities and needed a specific gum bacterial laser to treat them. BIG MISTAKE! Not only did this cost me thousands of dollars to be billed by insurance, they immediately had me sign a waiver that I would be responsible for what insurance does not pay. I asked why they wouldn't just seek approval beforehand from insurance. I told them I did not feel comfortable signing and they still proceeded with work. And the next, main problem was Not only did they create pain, botch the work, I don't believe that I had cavities. I had uncontrollable pain, unable to chew, talk, sleep so I went back for my second visit to complete the work. Dr Ifantis denied that I needed another visit, retook X-rays and said these were new problems that I needed more work on. When I deceived to go to a different dentist I asked for copies of my X-rays and they tried to convince me that no scans were taken. Even if that were true, which I knew for certain wasn't true because I took pictures of the scans they had on display on the screen as well as I WAS THE PERSON WHOM THE SCANS WERE TAKEN OF (idiots). They even did a CT scan of my mouth even before being examined (which should've been a red flag). Did they not realize that shows their negligence. Why would you diagnose and perform work on cavities you don't X-ray? He exhausted my insurance claim max for the year (my estimated cost for procedure was slightly above that total, what a BIG coincidence). I ended up finding out immediately that I had an infection. That was just the beginning, I'm still dealing with their malpractice and will never have pain free teeth unless I do implants to replace them. I'm so upset that I ever walked into their office. Just walking into the office I should've walked right back out. They have, on both occasions, had at least 8 patients in chairs at the same time with the 2 doctors bouncing room to room. They were capitalizing on time and sacrificing patient care in my opinion. Dr Singh did most of the care and required Ifantis to review every step of the way. Again, should've changed my mind after that scenario presented itself as showing how inexperienced or that she was not capable of performing the procedure solo. Also, Dr Monica stated that she is a professor and teaches dental students. Her course focuses on pain management during these procedures. If this is true I'm not able to find this information anywhere online. But why would a professor of dentistry require oversight from another dentist if she should be proficient in this work?

Do not go to this dentist. He is only out for money. Deliberately messes with teeth to bank on root canals and crowns. Someone should check into the legitimacy of his dental license.

This dental office is horrible. First I waited in the waiting room for awhile. Then the dental hygienist couldn't figure out how to get the X-rays to works so she took extra. She was the slowest hygienist I have ever had and would not clean my teeth right away. The two dentist that worked there suggested I get a periodontal treatment for over $700. I am in my 20's and after getting a second opinion I realized they were just trying to get money. They did not clean my teeth and took over an hour. I go a bill for $54 for the X-rays even though I have insurance. Don't go here!
