Dr. Richard James Clark III

My partner just had four wisdom teeth and a molar pulled by Dr. Clark. He was funny, kind and caring. He gave us a clear estimate of what we would owe and what the insurance company would pay. The staff was caring and even got us ice while we waiting in the recovery room. Partner's mouth is healing nicely and he is doing well. I would highly recommend this office.

I am horrified by Dr. Clark's manipulation that has resulted in a great deal more cash in his pocket. I brought my relative in for a necessary procedure. His staff insisted that I allow them to charge $375 on my credit card, and that I would get a refund of whatever was left after my relative's very good insurance paid. He called me during the procedure to convince me that she needed IV anesthesia for the procedure, and I agreed. However, he did not properly document why IV anesthesia was necessary. As a result, insurance did not cover it. The horrifying part is that insurance would have reimbursed him $95 for IV anesthesia - the agreed amount. But he's charging us $625 for it. He did not properly document the need for it because he knew that he would get $625 from us vs. the $95 from the insurance company. It's truly disgusting. I have called his office multiple times over the last few months. I have been told by staff members that he has promised that he would call me back to discuss this, but he never has done so. I am pursuing this with appeals to the insurance company, and submitting it as a fraudulent charge to my credit card company. In the meantime, I think it's really important to warn others about his amoral practice of scamming hundreds of dollars from every vulnerable patient on whom he performs a procedure. As a follow-up, Dr. Clark charged my aunt an additional $625 for twilight sedation- for which I had already well overpaid, as his contract with the insurance company only permitted a $95 charge. My aunt actually feared retaliation from him when I told her to ignore it, and she paid it. As a healthcare provider and a human being, I cannot possibly express how upsetting and horrific….

Very upsetting and painful.

I am leaving a review on behalf of my very elderly relative who got terrible care, and was cheated out of several hundred dollars. His scom is giving general anesthesia, charging several hundred dollars for it, and failing to document the reason that the patient needed it. The negotiated charge with the insurance company is < $100, but if he doesn't document the reason a patient needs it, he gets to charge the patient whatever he wants. I'm not sure I could call him anything but a charlatan scom artist who happens to pull out teeth. Beware.

My visit went poorly. Getting reimbursed for the difference between the large deposit I had to pay, and insurance paid/approved amount continues to go poorly. I won’t ever go back.

They're the best of the best, quick and painless!

Recommended. Thanks to Dr. Richard Clark for answering a request from my primary dentist and graciously staying late at the office to perform my oral surgery on 10 February 2020. I also appreciated Dr. Clark's upbeat, kind and caring style.

Had my wisdom tooth removed by Dr. Clark and it was a pleasure. He was funny and made me feel very comfortable. Office staff was also wonderful. Would highly recommend. I went to the Newtown Square office.

Had tooth extracted Worst I ever had

After waiting a full hour for our first appointment, we finally just walked out the door. A woman with an appointment after us was actually taken back before us! No apology, no reason for delay - I have no idea how long we actually would have waited had we stayed.

Dr. Clark is an exceptionally kind and caring doctor. He spent so much time with me to explain my condition. He is one of a kind!

Dr. Clark took the time to help me understand my condition and answer any and all of my questions, which was impressive! It is rare to find a doctor's office that actually cares - I would feel very confident sending my closest family members to this office.

Horrible experience at this office. I was referred to this office by my regular dentist to have a broken tooth pulled. I gave them my insurance and employment information and was taken in back to have 1 additional X-Ray done. After the X-Ray they took me back to the front office where they proceeded to tell me that before they could extract the tooth they would need a $350 deposit up front, even though I had insurance. When I informed them that I did not have the money to pay them that day and to please bill my insurance and me they told me that they would not be able to perform the surgery. Now mind you, the tooth is broken, has a temporary filling that is cracking because my regular dentist had to drill down to where the root is exposed to determine if a crown would be an ideal fix for this tooth, and I am in pain. Also, with an open tooth, it is possible to get a heart infection if not taken care of promptly. All signs point to dental emergency, however, this surgeon looked at me and shrugged his shoulders proceeding to tell me that if I was in pain and wanted it fixed I would have more incentive to come up with the deposit money. The operating rooms were dirty and outdated and the staff, besides one young dental assistant who was very nice, were rude and uncaring. I cannot believe this office is still operating under these conditions and with this complete disregard for the health of their patients. If you value your health and safety I would strongly recommend NOT seeing this surgeon. Sincerely A Concerned Citizen Horrible experience at this office.
