Perhaps the following is only my own personal experience with Dr. Filion, but it may still be useful to share it.
Dr. Filion usually spent approximately 10 seconds looking at my teeth, while scheduling numerous appointments to take X-rays—possibly to milk the insurance company or the patient—and pressuring me to get a number of crowns, which, according to another dentist, were not necessary. Of course, this seems a fairly common practice amongst dentists these days—crowns bring in more money than fillings after all. Dr. Filion finally relented to fill one of my teeth, but the work was of dubious quality.
I finally had had enough and found another dentist. I asked Dr. Filion’s office to send my file, including my X-rays, to the new dentist. This was flatly refused, because “they did not have a secure email.” I was then charged 25 dollars for 2 xeroxed pages of my file (!). My repeated requests that my file be sent to me by post have been ignored.
I may notify my insurance company of Dr. Filion’s practices and may still lodge an official complaint with the Florida Board of Dentistry. I am not a chronic complainer and have never sued anyone, but too much is enough.
Having said the above, I must also say that the staff, especially the dental hygienists, are excellent.
