The most pronounced theme in this feedback is a reviewer's serious distrust of Dr. Ahler's diagnosis and treatment recommendations. The reviewer alleges that he told them they had a crossbite that they did not have, attributed their jaw discomfort to nighttime tooth grinding despite their sleeping with the mouth open, and steered them toward an $80 nightguard that was not covered by insurance and did not help. When that failed, the reviewer says he recommended Invisalign, which they say was also not covered, though they later learned their insurer would cover it as medically necessary. Subsequent opinions from other dentists and orthodontists, as the reviewer describes them, pointed to braces, a deep bite, and a slight overjet rather than a crossbite, and linked misaligned teeth to the jaw problem. The reviewer's own account is that the office's recommendations were not sound. Separately, the reviewer describes the rest of the practice more favorably: another dentist at Hillcrest is praised, and the hygienists are described as consistently kind. Those comments concern the staff and the other provider, not Dr. Ahler himself.
