Great Expressions Dental Centers Lawrenceville-Riverside

DO NOT GET WORK DONE HERE!!! I wish I read the reviews before I went to this God Horrible Dental Debauchery. They will charge you for work that is NOT NEEDED and will not contact your insurance company for a deductible. Some of the staff is GHETTO and very unprofessional. DDS NASIM RAHIMI is very cold with her patients and only out to make money by misdiagnosing and mistreatment. SHE IS NOT A GOOD DENTIST WHATSOEVER!!! To further prove this, read Unilocal reviews and how she handles her patients as well. She has done work on my teeth that WAS NOT NEEDED and FUCKED UP TWO OF MY TEETH!!! THEY DID AN AWFUL JOB!!! Also, she tried to charge me for work done that wasn’t needed and a hefty dental bill cluttered with appointments that does’nt correlate with what needed to be done. Now I have found a MUCH BETTER Dentist who told me after X-​Rays that I didn’t need half of the work I needed to be done. Now he has fixed the fuck up she has caused.
Do not go here unless you want 18 X-​Rays, a misdiagnosis, unneeded appointments, and a hefty ass dental bill. This place and NASIM RAHIMI makes you fear EVERYTHING about dentistry that you ever thought could possibly go wrong!!!

Everyone working here knows what the deal is. I’m sorry it took me this long to figure it out. Dental Mill will tell you anything crazy just to make a buck. What has dentistry become!!! Shameful! Save yourself!!!

This place treats it’s customers like livestock. After going from 0 to 3 crowns in 6 months and reading a similar review, it seems they have a sales quota they need to meet.
Additionally, my grandma doesn’t drive, so I had to take her to get her dentures redone. They took top and bottom impressions over two sessions and fit it over two sessions. Each one took an hour and a half, which was time I had to take off of work.
On top of that they fucked it up because probably everyone employee here was bottom of their class in Dental school or a was a veterinarian for cows

felt like a $$ Dollar sign. Last check up was a year ago and no issues, now i need 4 crowns and 6 fillings?! called my dentist back in NC and she said there must be some mistake that in a year there was no way i would need that much work. maybe a couple fllings but certainly not 4 crowns. Asked for a copy of my xrays and was told I could have them if i paid a fee for a copy. i explained i wanted a 2^nd opinion from their $ 5,000 suggested work. Will not be back. Even make you pay for the cleaning toothbrush??? seriously i’m not paying for the travel toothpaste and random toothbrush. Big disappointment. Certainly not worried about the person. Only worried about how much $$ they can get from you.

I will give this group 0 stars. I paid them $ 1700.00 for a ENDO MOLAR AND A CROWN, while waiting in the chair, they tried to scam me for another $ 300. I refuse to pay that amount. They refused to refund my money that I had paid I took them to court. I won, but they still haven’t refunded my money.
Don’t trust them!

Recently, I took my two daughters to this location for cleaning. This was our first time here; since finding this location through my husband’s insurance company. Both apps were 20 mins apart. I arrived at 9am to jump start on the necessary paperwork that was required as they were new patients. The receptionist was very friendly and inviting. She greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. The office was very neat and clean from what i can see. The waiting area was comfortable. Even though one appt was at 9:20 and the other at 9:40, they both were called back about 9:30am, where they were put in two separate rooms. The xray techinian was quick with moving between the rooms getting the girls teeth xrayed. The hygienist was very friendly with both girls who are 7 and 11 years old. She educated them on the importance of brushing their teeth daily and flossing on a regular bases. Although my girls were asking tons of questions, she was happy to answer them. And explain to them what their xray pictures were for. Once all the cleaning, flossing and polishing was done we had to wait on the dentist. It took her good long minute to come to our room. Once she arrived, she informed my of some issues that were found in my youngest daughter’s xray. My oldest daughter’s xray was fine. We met with the dentist for no more then 5 mintues. Before leaving, the hygienist was kind to reschedule the girls 6 month visit, so that we could just leave without stopping at the receptionist desk.
Overall, my visit was great! We spent two hours there, split between two kids (hour a piece) getting their teeth cleaned. I’m not what the average time is, though.
My next visit will be in 2 weeks, this time for my husband and myself. Stay tune for my update on how my visit went! Hope my review of this location doesn’t change…

I’ve been going here under my mom’s insurance about 14 years. They have a friendly staff but the doctor is kind of rude. My insurance was about to expire so I made an appointment for fillings. They forgot and decided I would have to come back another time. I was late for the follow up appointment, I’ll admit, but I’ve always ALWAYS waited for them. I’m paying you, I always wait for you, and then you want to act like waiting is a deal breaker… Not in this day and age where customer service is so necessary. And they were running behind when I showed up! It looked to me as though they just wanted to use my appt time to see someone else. 16 years, lots of wasted time, idk man I’m gonna go somewhere else when I renew my health insurance.

This place is absolutely terrible. We tried it out, but I really wish I had read reviews prior to the appointments. I had a cleaning a few weeks ago and waited about an hour to have the tech do the actually cleaning. But before, a set of x-​rays had to be taken twice, because the first set did not come out right, for which the tech criticized me for not being able to position my mouth correctly. (What a joke). I had to schedule another appointment to get a filling, and I waited 2 hours before the dentist came in a did about 15 minutes of work, only to have my filling fall out 2 days later. And today I had an appointment scheduled with the oral surgeon who works out of the same office. My appointment was at 12, and I understand that it is easy to fall behind with surgeries, but no one from the staff informed us that the surgeon would not be ready until 1:30. The staff is rude, incompetent, and pretty clueless. Save yourself the trouble and don’t go to this shit show.

I don’t recommend this place. I had to wait an hour after my scheduled appointment to be seen. The dental assistant taking X-​rays of my teeth was rude, impatient, and uncaring. The X-​rays hurt because she was rushing. I heard nothing about the results of my X-​rays regarding my wisdom teeth, which was one of my concerns.
My younger sister came here for her scheduled appointment to get her wisdom teeth removed and when we arrived, we were told that the doctor wasn’t in the office because there was no record of her appointment. We had to drive all the way to Atlanta to their other location for them to fit in a last-​minute rescheduled appointment with an available doctor.
Won’t ever trust this place again!

Worst dental experience of my life!!! I really wish I would have read the reviews of this place before scheduling my exam. I recently moved here from Tennessee; therefore, had to pick a new dentist. I went with Great Expressions because it is very close to where I work. BIG MISTAKE! My appointment took 2 hours and only a 5 minute minimal cleaning was done. Different workers were in and out of my «room» what they called «tag teaming» my care. No one knew what was going on. They took 18 different x-​rays. I’ve never ever had that many different x-​rays in my entire life. The woman getting the x-​rays could not fit some of the films in my mouth the way she wanted so she proceeded to numb my mouth and force them in. Now I have cuts and abrasions all over my lower palate and can barely drink anything. She said the doctor would be mad if she didn’t get good pictures. How about worrying about the patient? The dentist told me I have a cavity, which is my first. She was in my «room» for 2 minutes at most and definitely did not seem to care. A «billing specialist» came in after what seemed like years to discuss the cost of repair only to find out she printed the wrong estimate. 10 minutes later she was back with a new estimate. The estimate seemed high and after what I experienced prior I decided not to have the repair done that day so I could look into other providers. The «cleaning» was pathetic. While using the water pick, I was sprayed in the face with water the ENTIRE time. She had no regard for the patient. She hooked the suction to the side of my mouth which didn’t stay at all and was ineffective. They only seem to care about making money and billing the patient and do as little patient care as possible. Usually the cleaning is the majority of the appointment. Here it was like it was an afterthought and I was beginning to wonder if it was even going to happen. I could go on and on! The office is a disaster. The tv was broken and kept making a humming sound when off. One woman said it had been broken for months, but the doctor wouldn’t do anything. Chairs were ripped. Just an overall horrible environment. And I didn’t even get the usual free new toothbrush and floss… I’m glad I’m getting new insurance at the beginning of the year, because I would gladly sit through another exam and cleaning somewhere actually competent. I will never, ever be back and will continue to warn others!

DO NOT patronize this dental group! Most of the office staff is inept and unresponsive. I left several messages about incorrect charges they included in my bill and to this day, several months later, I have never received a return call. Also, when my crown came loose, Dr. Rakesh said I needed a brand new one for several hundred dollars and she could not reattach the existing crown. I quickly found a new dental office who saw me the very next day. That dentist said I did not need a new one and he reattched it just fine. It’s been great ever since. I’m so glad I got a second opinion! Dr. Rakesh is rude to her staff and patients and I do not trust her. It appeared she only wanted to charge more money for unnecessary work. I had had enough, so my daughter and I left and found a great dentist. We also paid $ 25 each to have our xrays copied and sent to new dentist. We were told they would be sent in a couple days, but when I called three weeks later, they still were not sent. No explanation when asked why. I went by there to pick them up myself. Terrible service all around!

No stars for this place. I went to this place thinking that it was Nanston dental group. Nobody told me anything, there was no letter no signage no nothing. Front end service was horrible. No greeting no nothing. My nurse was okay but you can just tell that everyone there was miserable… Later a received a bill for things that i didn’t got done and it was a nightmare to dispute. It literally took 3 months to get taken care of after dozens of calls and complaints. I don’t know what happened and why did it changed from Nanston to this disappointment but I do know that I wont be coming back here or to any Great Expressions.

These people need to be investigated for fraud! They are only interested in robbing insurance companies and patients, they could care less about your dental health.
