Unethical billing practices. Gave a $550 estimate for a root canal that they increased to almost $1000 the day my husband had the actual procedure. Claimed we were slandering them when we complained because the estimate said it was an estimate. Sure ? the $550 was an estimate. An *honest* estimate is close to the real price. We wouldn?t have complained it the $550 increased a bit (say $50) but almost being off by almost $450 is ridiculous. After being in pain for a month, waiting for the appointment, and taking the morning off work, he wasn?t in a position to go looking for a different place to have the root canal done. If Omni had given an honest estimate up front, he would have looked for a more reasonably priced practice.
