Health Ministries Dental Clinic

This is for HEALTH MINISTRIES DENTAL in Newton, Kansas. I had a severe dental infection & needed a root canal. Also needed a crown on a broken tooth and at least 2 fillings. My doctor told me to get to a dentist right away or I'd be in the hospital. I had the misfortune of trusting the horrible Health Ministries Dental. Since then, I've found that my experience is not unique. They knew how dire my situation was. After waiting to have my appointment, they called and said they could get me in a few days earlier. GREAT, because I was hurting so very, very bad and I'm getting sicker and sicker. I have diabetes and COPD and I'm almost 70. I filled out several pages of information and made copies of everything for them. Then, the day before my appointment, they INSISTED on getting my credit card information, along with the 3 digit code on the back of the card. They wouldn't see me, unless I gave the information. I didn't like that, because no one had EVER insisted on that before, but like a fool, I gave them the information. Now, I have to worry about identity theft! The next morning, I was prepared for my appointment, when I received a phone call from a Brenda with the Health Ministries Dental Clinic. She said she had made a MISTAKE, when she made the appointment for me and they had scheduled the appointment too late for me. The dentists might have other patients and wouldn't be able to get to me in time to take X-Rays and do the Consultation. I was crushed, because I'd been waiting so long. I said, "Well, can I reschedule?" She said, "Yes! We're taking appointments for JANUARY 2024!!!" Remember, this was July 2023. That was 6 months away!!! I could be dead from the infection, long before then. She then, said they could give me a call, if someone ever cancelled. I told her Not To. I couldn't go through this again. I'm trying to find a reputable dentist that can help me. If not, I'll be back in the hospital. I'm HIGHLY OFFENDED that they use the word MINISTRIES in their name. They don't pray to the same God I do. My God would have nothing to do with those people!!
