Dr. Ziegler's office is being investigated for false advertising practices due to selling cut-rate cleaning, Xray and exam packages through LivingSocial. In Jan. 2011, his office sold 246 of these ""deals"" for $35 ea., as an advertised 86% savings.
When patients are scheduled for the routine exam, they are told the cleaning will be on a separate appointment. After a few xrays are taken, patient is subjected to a video on gum disease, even before xrays are looked at. Then the doctor ""advises"" deep cleaning and pressures patients to book right away. At several thousand dollars, they charge 4 times what other local dentists charge for this procedure, and will not honor the cleaning if you get deep scaling done elsewhere.
