I like the other people would never go back to this dentist. I was there Monday 7/30 and was told that I needed a crown and root canal. I had to sign paperwork on Monday and pay in advance for the crown. I went back on Wednesday to see the root canal dentist and was told by the office staff that this work would be over $2,0000 in addition to the $901.60 that I paid on Monday. They also wanted the money upfront for his consultation. They wanted me to sign the paperwork for this, which I refused and told them that I needed to get a 2nd opinion. I asked how I could get my money back since I will not be getting the permanent crown there. They told me that I would have to pay, they told me that I would have to pay $450.00 for the temporary crown which they hygienist put on not the dentist. I am appalled that this is happening. I am not young and have been going to dentist along time and never have I been treated like this. Please be careful when using this dentist. The office staff is wonderful but they are Dr. Larson's escape because they are the ones that bring all the paperwork to you. Dr. Larson never goes over any of this with the patient... There is a charge for everything that she does......

I was at a Christmas party last weekend and there were 3 people that had terrible stories about Dr Larson and what she did at their appointments and to their teeth. You have to catch her on a good day from what I've heard. I've seen both sides. Don't catch her on a bad day. I don't want my dentist like that. Not worth it. Switching dentists with my insurance for the New Year! :)

It's funny how the person below said when they read these reviews they are shocked. This is an update to my review below about the dr walking out of my appointment. I went to a dentist with two different dentists the next day. Come to find out the one tooth that needed the crown cemented back on had NO DECAY at all! They glued the crown back on no problem. They said that they do not speak badly about other doctors at all, but were unhappy to find out that dr Larson said there was decay when there wasn't at all. I'm going to show the x rays to Marion county dental association. I went back to dr Larsons to get my x-ray after she walked out of my appointment and was told that I would either have to pay $50 for them to email my x ray or she would waive the $50 fee if I took off my bad review! That is total bribery and incredibly unprofessional. To the office worker who wrote that they were shocked about the bad reviews... the reason why there aren't more is because she bribes them. The other dentist office said no other office Charges $50 to send an email! I can't believe she is doing this to me! I just wanted my crown back on or the cement sanded down so there wasn't a hole in my tongue she did neither and I'm still having to pay. On top of it she got mad at walked out in the middle of the appiontment because now I know she was upset because there was no decay to begin with and I was going back to my old dentist.Bottom line is that she did not care about me as a patient. She is making it incredibly hard for me. If she was honest she wouldn't have a bad review and I'm not taking any of them down no matter you charging me $50 for an x ray or not! You act like a bad car mechanic that lies and says your car is broken and you pay a bunch of money only to find out that wasn't the problem. If I can warn people about my experience I will because it's the God's honest 100% truth. I know people at Ocala magazine, the biggest church here etc. and it will be known! I will take you to small claims court if I have to. I have no X-ray , you tried to bribe me with the price gauging $50 fee to send an email , you didn't finish your appointment with me and you charged me only to find out that you lied about decay in my teeth! Give me my money back!

When I read these reviews I am shocked! My experience with Dr. Larson was very pleasant. She understood my concerns and immediately helped me. I have spent a lot of money on my orthodontic work but needed an immediate crown! She saved my smile, and I am very grateful for the work she did on me. Two thumbs up!! I would recommend her as a family dentist. The staff is just as welcoming!

To the four reviewers before me and all who read this, I too had an awful experience with the doctore. She's money hungry! I have dental coverage, and have never had to pay for any work. She was demanding nearly $4000. worth of work. Well, I went for a second opinion and found our I didn't need al the work she claimed. To top it off, she participates in my coverage. I too hope she loses her license.

This is the worst practice I have ever encountered. Payment is demanded prior to start. After work was started additional charges were added to my bill, some times even when I was in the chair. The dentist does most of the talking to her patients through her assistants. In the waiting room several other patients expressed concerns and were wishing they had never started treatments here. They have invented numerous strategies to get around the dental insurance maximum payments, and I was refused refund on a procedure that was never done. Patronize this practice at your own risk.

I saw Jennifer Larson for a gum procedure. I was quoted and paid $395. I handed my card to the cashier and then she handed me a toothbrush. I had just unknowingly paid $165 for a toothbrush. No one explained to me that 50% of my payment was for an electric toothbrush. I explained that I didn't want the toothbrush and asked if they could refund me the amount. I was told no, the dentist does not do refunds on them. They suggested I try to sell it to someone. I will not returning to this office, EVER.

I rated this office low as they had a hidden cost in my services. I paid for the services but was not aware that $165 of it was towards an electric toothbrush. They ran my card and handed me a toothbrush. I did not want the toothbrush but they would not refund me the money. I was simply told that the dentist does not do refunds.No one explained to me that out of the $395 I was paying that 50% was for a toothbrush, something I felt should be optional to purchase. Now I am stuck with an expensive toothbrush I don't need and money gone that could've been useful to me. I will not return to this dentist.
