Shanks Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Patient Review

Patient Review
Dr. Shanks and his assistants are great. They’re so welcoming, nice, and knowledgeable. However, the billing department at this practice is awful. I received notice from my insurance that I had overpaid $1,090. I had to call Dr. Shank’s office 10 times and speak with different employees before they would acknowledge that I overpaid for my procedure. They just kept telling me they needed to receive paperwork from my dental insurance before they could issue my refund, but they would never take the initiative to contact them directly. My last phone call I got an attitude and sigh out of the receptionist, so I called my insurance company again and had them contact Dr. Shanks office via phone to verify that they were not waiting for anything from my insurance company. Once verified, it still took them a couple weeks to send me a check. 4 months for a refund is absolutely absurd and I’m sure I would’ve never received it had I not been pressing the issue. Horrible customer service from their billing and management.

Patient Review
The staff are so knowledgeable (and if they weren’t sure, they wouldn’t just guess- they actually found out; crazy, I know) and the first appointment was great. Follow up in a week, but I think things will go great. Highly recommend.
