TOMS RIVER FAMILY DENTAL IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!! ESPECIALLY DR. MEHLMAN! I had a severe seizure February 2nd of 2019 and was hospitalized for several months, then transferred to a rehab facility to re learn to walk. When I had the seizure, I knocked out 8 teeth, it was terrible! I was taking an AMBULANCE from rehab to TOMS RIVER FAMILY DENTAL to get the process started with dentures. At the time I was on a feeding tube and currently it’s been almost 10 YEARS SINCE I’VE BEEN ABLE PHYSICALLY TO EAT SOLID FOODS. February of this year I had a MAJOR operation, cut down my chest to enable me to finally be able to eat again. It has been OVER THREE YEARS THAT I HAVE NOT HAD BOTTOM DENTURES!!! I HAVE SEEN SO MANY DENTISTS AT TOMS RIVER FAMILY DENTAL WITHIN THIS PROCESS AND THEY HAD TO MAKE TWO ADDITIONAL BOTTOM DENTURES THAT STILL ARE NO WHERE CLOSE TO BEING ABLE TO BE WORN! DR.MEHLMAN IS INCREDIBLY RUDE, INSENSITIVE AND UNPROFESSIONAL!!! NUMEROUS TIMES HE HAS WALKED IN YELLING AT ME THAT IM BACK AGAIN AND EVEN TOLD ME TWICE THAT HE HAS OTHER PATIENTS THAT HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THEIR TEETH AND DIDNT NEED DENTURES AT 31 YEARS OLD!!!! I HAD BRACES, BEAUTIFUL TEETH BEFORE I HAD THE SEVERE SEIZURE THAT KNOCKED THEM OUT!!!!! PEOPLE IN THE WAITING ROOM HEARD HIM YELLING AT ME!!! I went to a different dentist and come to find out NO MATTER WHAT THEY TRY TO DO TO THESE DENTURES, THEY WILL NEVER EVER FIT!!!!!! They do NOT CARE ABOUT YOU, THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT BEING PAID!!! After pulling my teeth they said I had a $700 past due bill (which I’m fully covered and never once received any bills and they refused to see me until I paid the bill. IT WAS AN EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT!!! They couldn’t even tell me what the bill was for!!!! I had no choice but to pay it because they refused to see me, after just pulling out my teeth and having excessive BLEEDING! I have never in my life been treated worse by anyone in the healthcare industry than by TOMS RIVER FAMILY DENTAL BUT ESPECIALLY DR. MEHLMAN!!!! In the YEARS I UNFORTUNATELY HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO GO THERE, THE STAFF; RECEPTIONISTS, TECHS AND THE MULTIPLE DENTISTS THAT MAYBE STAY FOR A FEW MONTHS, MAYBE A YEAR AND THEN SURPRISE, THERE’S ANOTHER NEW DENTIST!!! It’s a REVOLVING DOOR OF STAFF THAT ARE NOTHING BUT RUDE, AND WHEN YOU ASK TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR SHE’S ALWAYS IN A MEETING, NEVER WILL CALL YOU BACK, AND THE FRONT DESK STAFF DOESNT EVEN WANT TO TELL YOU THE SUPERVISORS NAME!!!! The front desk staff are always extremely rude and have canceled my appointment last minute SEVERAL TIMES AND RESCHEDULED MY NEW APPOINTMENT FOR WEEKSSSS LATER! I absolutely do not recommend ANYONE to EVER EVER GO TO TOMS RIVER FAMILY DENTAL OR WHEREVER DR. MEHLMAN ENDS UP IN A FEW MONTHS WHEN THEY ONCE AGAIN CHANGE DENTISTS! IF YOU WANT TO BE TREATED WITH NOTHING BUT LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM, KNOWLEDGE, COMPASSION, KINDNESS, PROPER CARE FOR YOUR TEETH, APPOINTMENTS THAT ARE CANCELED LAST MINUTE, EXTREMELY RUDE RECEPTIONISTS, BILLS THAT THEY CANT EXPLAIN WHAT THEY ARE FOR AND REFUSING TO HELP YOU WHEN YOUR BLEEDING PROFUSELY AND FORCE YOU TO PAY THE BILL BECAUSE YOU NEED HELP, THEN TOMS RIVER FAMILY DENTAL IS DEFINITELY THE PLACE YOU WANT TO GO!! BECAUSE THEY WILL TREAT YOU AWFUL!!!! Besides finally being able to physically eat now in over TEN YEARS, but can’t because of their mistakes, I left there in absolute tears every time I went there! I am miserable with no life besides staying home because I’m so embarrassed of my smile! THANK YOU DR MEHLMAN FOR MAKING ME FEEL HORRIBLE ABOUT MYSELF! I CAN FINALLY FINISH A SENTENCE WITHOUT DR MEHLMAN CUTTING ME OFF AND SCREAMING AT ME, WHERE I COULDNT EVEN STAND UP FOR MYSELF IN THE OFFICE!!! IM STANDING UP FOR MYSELF NOW!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN’T SCREAM AND YELL AT ME ANYMORE DR MEHLMAN!!!
