Arredondolynch, Alma, Dds - Spirit-The Old West Dentisty

I used Alma Arredondo Lynch to make a top upper bridge. While she was making the bridge she hit the teeth on a counter while polishing them and broke them. She then starts screaming and cussing her help out and then she made a new set, did not let them dry (they were crooked, yellow, painful) and shoved them roughly in my mouth to the point of making me cry. I had already paid her 3,000.00 dollars cash for these teeth and I have it on paper that I only owe her 1800.00 which she printed out and was letting me make payments. She called yesterday and informed me that the original teeth she had made were ready and to come in. After driving 6 hours she then informs me that I owe her 3200,00 dollars cash instead of 1800.00 payments! Then she would not even see me. I went to her office and sat all day and I left to get something out of my truck and she ran and locked the doors and would not let me back in. The temporary bridge she put in my mouth last month was broke. She refused to answer the door or the phone. What I want to know is how this lady is still in practice when she is obviously ripping people off and if she is doing it to people who don't have insurance you can only imagine what she is doing the insurance companies. In light of her treatment, I am filing a grievance with the Board of Dentistry and filing a lawsuit against this dentist and will be contacting all insurance companies and Medicaid to let them know they need to investigate the dentist for false claims. If you choose to use this dentist you will regret it, not only emotionally but financially.. more

My father has been a patient of Dr Alma Arredondo-Lynch for the past several years. He has always paid his bill at time of service. He was surprised when he came in for an office visit and was told he had a past due balance for several hundred dollars. When he questioned the doctor as to why he never received any statements/bills for the balance due, the doctor claimed that she had been having issues with her practice staff and money disappearing but that she was willing to work with him and gave him a discount. My father went ahead and paid his bill. He received a copy of his account ledger and left. When my father called again to question the bill, Dr. Arredondo-Lynch was on the defense and suggested that he find a new dentist because she was dismissing him as his patient! Can not understand what the doctor is hiding. Have tried to contact her at her office three days in a row, have left messages only to no avail. I am only trying to find why she had charged finance and billing fees when he has never ever received a bill from this office. His account ledger was started in 2005 but we have yet to ever see a bill. Seems doctor is not willing to answer a few questions...hmmm! more
