Dr. Banaag is focused on one thing-making money. From the get-go, he complained to me that my (inferior) dental plan didn't pay him sufficiently. Yesterday, when I went in to have him redo a bonding on my front tooth, he had the nerve to ask me to pay first, explaining to me that that was their new policy. Shocked, I walked to the front desk and asked the receptionist if I pay first and she replied, "No, you pay after the services are rendered." So, he and his staff lied and I am not surprised. The entire office and all of his employees are hostile and secretive and this is taboo for a dentist. I always felt uncomfortable there. Furthermore, one already comes in to a dental office with high anxiety. I am outraged and ultimately walked out and don't recommend anyone to Dr. Banaag for his ill treatment of me and undoubtedly many, many others. Patients aren't responsible to their dentist for his/her health and welfare at least not yet!! Dr. Banaag makes dentistry look like real estate investing.
