Alex Jones Father is a shitty dentist

Well now we know that Alex Jones' dad is a crap dentist (or do we?), we must consult online sources. Let us look into this. First we go to YELP.com: Kelly B of Austin, TX had this to say: I just thought I'd chime in here. I too went to Castle because it was close to my house and on my insurance. I too was told I had to have scaling done to the tune of $2000. They told me it was the only way to save my teeth. I declined seeing as I don't have that kind of money laying around to give away. I have since been to another dentist and funny they said I had great teeth and did not mention deep scaling once. When I told them about Castle telling me I needed this procedure, they said "What a crock!" Christina L Of New York, NY had this to say about Dr. Jones: My appointment was at 4:00 pm. Once again, I presented to them the billing information they gave me last time, and they told me that they were going to verify that information again. They spent about an hour of my appointment verifying that information. Meanwhile, the dentist would come in and out, doing something in my mouth, and leaving to assist other people. I felt like him working on multiple people at the same time definitely affects the quality of work and service you are receiving. Finally, at 5:30 pm, he actually had time to start on my procedures. An hour and a half AFTER my scheduled appointment. If I had known this, I would have come at 5:30. I guess the dentist was in a rush to get out of the office that day, because he "filled" my cavities and extracted my wisdom teeth. However, the next day, I checked my fillings, and sure enough, he didn't actually fill those teeth HE CHARGED ME FOR. I called the dentist immediately and said that I will be coming in to get those teeth filled. They said that I would have to pay for an office visit. Only after arguing that it would be unjust to have a charge for a procedure they should have correctly done the first time, they agreed that there would be no charge. I come into the office and Dr. Jones checks out my teeth. He says there's no cavities when clearly, any person with a brain, could see the holes left in the teeth he agreed to pay for. He then commented how I had a good eye and agreed that I was right. Hmm, maybe I should have gone to dental school too. He then "fixed" the fillings he was supposed to do in the first place, and acted like it was a benefit on my part and that he's going out of his way to do this for me...I PAID FOR IT ALREADY. Anyways, it still wasn't fixed correctly and I went to another dental practice to get my fillings done after this horrible experience.....I URGE YOU NOT GO TO CASTLE DENTAL EVER. Jacob W of Austi, Tx had this to say: Absolutely the worst dental office I have ever been to or even heard of! I go in for a broken tooth, they tell me I need a really deep cleaning too, plus they found 2 cavities. I say okay.. 18 total shots of novacane, 18 punctures in my gums, then the doctor starts drilling and that was just painful even with all the drugs. They put a temporary crown type thing in my broken molar and tell me to come back 2 weeks later to get the real crown put in place. Day before my appt. they call to reschedule because the doctor won't be in. No big deal, next appt. 1 week later. The day before that appointment they call to reschedule again for the same reason which is when I told the receptionist that my temp tooth is totally about to fall out of my mouth. She puts me on hold and I waited for 15 minutes for her to tell me I've got a next day appt. Worst establishment ever. It is scary that they do dental work with their heads half way up their behinds! Dan M of Austin, Tx had this to say: Despite what they tell you, you don't need periodontal scaling done. From the other reviews I've read it seems like they tell everyone that. I had moved to Austin, but I went back to my life-long dentist in Houston for a second opinion and he laughed when I told him. I never felt like I went to a corrupt medical facility until I came here. Also, expect inconsistent, suspicious billing to follow your visit. Davonne H of Austin, Tx: I hate this place. I was looking for a quick place to go to to check for cavities and get a cleaning. Well I went ahead and scheduled an appointment here. Being new to Austin I should have asked around...This place is such a rip off........ J.D. of Austin, TX: These people are crooks. Their business is designed to con you into unnecessary gum cleaning procedures that cost over $900, when all you probably need is a simple cleaning. They will charge you $30 just to listen to their absurd pitch. And if you are smart enough to tell them that you're not a complete idiot and all you want is a cleaning. They will refuse. Their facility and equipment are dirty and somewhat antiquated. Their staff are extremely miserable people who just recite their pitches to you like comatose used car salesmen. Go to a real dental clinic and not a corrupt franchise. Nick M of Austin, TX: Remember that scene from Batman, where Jack Napier is at the back alley cosmetic surgeon? 'You see what I have to work with here..." As soon as I got to the back office of Castle Dental, I was reminded of that scene.The facilities are kind of dingy, and a lot of stuff seemed broken. The doctor and hygienist seemed fairly friendly, but the lady who took me to the back was pushy and grumpy. Don't just select the first provider on your insurance companies web site... or you could end up looking like the joker. I won't be going back.
