THIS WOMAN IS A FRAUD! Subpar at her job and takes no accountability for her poor work. Valery takes advantage of the community she does business in, especially young people or people with no insurance! In poor taste to support this business
spent $7000 having work done with Valery. Paid to have two root canals, a replacement crown and bonding done on 4 front teeth. Never received bonding as Valery later said it wasn't covered in my billing. So either her salesperson was a liar or she is. I went to another dentist for a 2nd opinion before we finished all the work I'd paid for and he told me there were already cracks in the crowns she did, that the material she used wasn't strong and shouldn't be used for back teeth because of pressure (To add the teeth never fit properly, they were significantly bigger than the rest of my teeth and too tall for my bite, she had to buff one down so much it was just a smooth surface with absolutely no ridges!) By 2022 I had two crowns break one while eating ice cream and the other on toast. I go to Valery clearly upset because here I am 5 years later about to have to spend more money on work that should have lasted far past 5 years. After a heated conversation she agrees to cover the cost to repair one crown and says I can go to someone I choose or she can give me a referral, she gives me a referral but I decide to go with a friend's dentist instead, because at this point I don't trust Valery's judgment of what acceptable work is. Cost of one crown at the other dentist is 1500. I write to valery telling her the cost and she says we verbally agreed to 950 in the office! Lies! a number was never agreed upon only that she would reimburse me to have one crown replaced. She also sends paperwork for me to sign so i can legally never come after her for her faulty work. I took the 950, because I really needed to have something to put towards these new crowns, but here I am left shelling out money for work I already paid in full for once. Valery isn't a trustworthy or skilled health care worker. Her practice and financials should be looked into.
