I had scheduled a dental appointment for a cleaning and an invisalign consultation the week of 03/15/2010. I was notified by New Patient Coordinator Melissa that the costs of invisalign can vary dependent on the severity of the dental issues, and also stated that Hopewell Dental Care would be able to financially work with me on the cost of the dental work if I could not receive financing.

I posed numerous questions regarding financing and the alternative methods of payment if financing wasn't approved. I asked numerous questions because I wanted to be certain of the options.

On 3/29/2010, I received a call from Carla, the finance employee, confirming the appointment as well as finance options. She then stated that everything I was told in regards to Hopewell Dental Care financially working with me was false and said that there was an obvious misunderstanding, and the set cost was $4,900 ($2,000 more than what Melissa had originally said it could be for a minor case).

I spoke with Carla a couple hours after our initial conversation about financing and she stated that I wasn't approved for enough financing to cover the invisalign treatment. I explained to her what the two previous employees (Melissa and Nancy) had said
