FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Allcare Dental Leaves Patients High and Dry
Headquartered in New York, All Care Dental closes shop nationally
Southfield, MI - January 4, 2011 – BBB of Eastern Michigan has been informed by consumers that Allcare Dental with locations across Michigan has closed without notice. When patients showed up for their appointment or called, there was no one available. A note on the door read: “Effective December 31st, 2010, the office of Allcare Dental & Dentures has been closed. We are currently working to find dentists to continue your care. For further information, go to allcareinfo.com or allcare.com.”
A website posting at www.allcareinfo.com apologizes to patients that they closed operations and there were no plans to reopen the offices. It states that they were working hard to transfer patient records and unfinished dental work to dentists with offices located close to the now-defunct offices. But, that in the meantime, if the patient is experiencing a dental emergency, you will need to locate another dentist in your area at your cost or go to the emergency room.
Patients, who went without promised services due to this closing, are encouraged to file a complaint with your Better Business Bureau and the Michigan Attorney General’s office at 877-765-8388 immediately. Patients who financed incomplete dental work should also contact the lending institution to stop any additional payments to Allcare.
