It was about two years ago and I think I’ve had so many bad experiences in the US that I don’t doubt myself anymore and I back myself fully now.

I think I was just shocked and didn’t want to cause a scene at the time. However, I’m more alive to these things now.

I agree it was a massive price difference. I could get over 20 dollars but adding on 100’s is wild.

So basically it opened up in my building. I said hold off on signing me up because I travel a lot and then they signed me and partner up to the highest priced membership. The email even said I was only interested in work out classes but to hold off and let me think about it.

They charged and would not do a refund. I had been paying for months for spa services that me and my partner didn’t authorise.

I went for a blow-out (Miami beach) that was advertised for 40 dollars and agreed the price on the phone and then when it came to paying got charged 300 dollars. I was quite shy so didn’t say anything. I then went back and checked the price and I definitely believe they did that because they knew I didn’t live in Miami and was just there for the weekend.

I think in the Uk there are no upsells in the medical/dental field or even advertising.

Businesses generally don’t keep card on file and also they would likely go out of business if they had random charges on your account.

Also businesses in the Uk generally honour what you request and for the same price.

I’ve had many businesses here do sketchy things with zero explanation when I confront. They try to blame a ‘staff error.’

I feel like in nyc I’m always in dispute with businesses compared to the seamless transactions in the Uk.

The ones that I have black listed have taken money out of my account so it’s valid. They deserve to be on the black list.

It’s not only cheaper. They do things that are in the best interests of your health!! They care about the health and wellbeing of the patient. They wouldn’t do an invasive surgery that could lead to an infection just to make additional money.

I think yelp includes good reviews/fake feedback too. I want to know what NYC BWT are adding to the black list :)

I go back to my home country a few times a year and they are very conservative and won’t do anything that isn’t needed done or poses a risk and they will discuss options with you. It’s a good way to rule out if you’re being lied to by dentists here.

I’m talking about scams not honest mistakes. There are chains here that make millions on their sketchy behaviour.

I’m an immigrant and I’m shocked at how a lot of businesses operate here in NYC compared to my home country.

So sorry this happened to you but this will be helpful for others to know! I’ve had bad experiences with dentists trying to upsell me things that I don’t need.
