1 /5 Raul Jimenez: WATCH OUT TEACHERS OF NYC.
I am writing this review to make other patient, especially teachers and their dependents aware of the disgusting interaction I had with the dental secretary whose name is Anita. I entered the office and as soon as I walked in she have a very negative welcoming. I told her that I have scheduled an appointment with an oral surgeon. As soon as I asked her who the provider will be she turned ballistic. I just wanted to make sure that the provider was in network with my insurance. I have UFT cigna, and as I mentioned it to Anita she let all her frustration out on me, and she said and I quote " UFT is the worse Insurance , they barely pay anything. They have copayment for all dental procedures". She stated all of this because I told her that I have spoken to my insurance and they mentioned that there was no copayment for a tooth extraction. And I also mentioned that if I wanted to get an implant that my insurance said the provider should honor $1200 discount. Obviously , I did not want any misunderstandings and I proceeded to call my dental insurance, and as I was on the phone with the cigna representative corroborating the information. I asked Anita if she wanted to speak to representative she refused. Then I asked permission to activate the speaker on my phone so Anita could hear such information. Which out of anger, Anita again yelled to the representative that "UFT insurance is the worse." The oral surgeon that was going to do the extraction is Adrew E. Zeidman and for which Anita works and turns out the this provider is not in network. With this experience, I realized that sometimes people just take things for granted. Why saying the UFT insurance is the worse, and yet they are still advertising that they are in network. Like the saying goes " Dont bite the hand that feeds you" .
