Affordable Dentures Sharnn Aarin Shepheard, DDS Bad deal Springdale, Arkansas

A little over 2 years ago, I went to Affordable Dental in Springdale, AR (Dr. Sharnn Aarin Shepheard).  I paid $1,300 for removal of six teeth and got complete dentures.  I received no copy of a dental care plan or contract.  They were much more interested in getting my money than my care.

I was told it would be at least a year of healing before I could get my new permanent dentures (as I was considering implants).  That said to me that I had to wait at least a year - a/k/a no hurry.

I called the other day to find out about implants and finalize my treatment.  I was informed by the charming doctor that because I did not come back within a year's time, my contract was void, he would not complete the process and intended to KEEP MY MONEY!  I don't think so.

There was never anything in writing saying I had only a year and that after that time, no services would be provided.  He made that up.  I spoke to him/his office, he was totally unpleasant and unprofessional and told me to SUE him.

I contacted their corporate headquarters and after my and their conversations with the doctor, I am receiving at least a partial refund and all my records so I can go elsewhere.

Avoid this guy.  "He ain't right".  I have only seen him for about 15 minutes total in my life.  His staff did all the work.  However, every time I saw him, he was unpleasant and angry (not at me, I just got there.) 

After my dealings with him, it is very apparent that he has ANGER MANAGEMENT ISSUES.  He is a liar and not an honest person.  He lied and said that he would not do anything for me because I swore at his secretary.  I did NOT.  I might have said something to the affect that "if you think you can keep my money, not provide the service I paid for and expect me to walk away, 'THE HELL I WILL".  I said nothing stronger than that.  "Hell" is an expected response when someone tries to steal $1000 of your money and brow beat you.  He was very confident that he could get away with this.  He can't.

I may not be able to further pursue this, as I did get some relief from their corporate headquarters.  However, YOU ARE WRONG DOCTOR.  I COULD SUE YOU AND WOULD WIN.

I may not take him to court but you can bet I will put in a bad word for him anytime and anyway I can. Shame on you!  All I wanted is the service I contracted for and paid for.  You are a rotten person.
