Truly terrible service. I am having a dental emergency and I am in extreme pain. i called twice to explain this and try to get a dentist and both times they gave me a list of doctors that no longer work with dds. completely inappropriate and had absolutely no sympathy. I will definitely recommend my union switches providers at our next meeting.

What a great company and awesome service they provide. I had called because I needed a skilled dentist. I spoke with Toni and she had referred me to Dr. Hills in Woodbury. Dr Hills has to be hands down the best dentist I've ever been to. I had called back because I need to see an oral surgeon and spoke to Toni again. Toni has referred me to doctor Brookstone in Wantagh. Couldn't ask for a better oral surgeon.

One of the worst dental insurance companies. They cover nothing better than 3 star dentists. And I paid over $500 out of pocket for two cavities because all they would cover per cavity is $70. really who's charging only $70 for a cavity. I would cancel but it's my unions plan. I'll be sure to show up at the next meeting to vote a nay for DDS.

My son and I were going to a horrible dentist in Long Beach that was local for us. I called DDS Inc and spoke to a very nice woman named Rosey. She was so pleasant and courteous. I asked her for a dentist recommendation near Hicksville where I work. She gave me the name of Dr. Hills in Woodbury. I absolutely love him and his staff. He has late appointments and some Saturday appointments. My son also goes to Dr. Hills and he loves him too. Thanks DDS for the awesome recommendation. Can't thank you enough.
