Dr. Zietz Family Dentistry and Orthodontics review: dr zietz crowned me 16

Dr. Zietz promised me credit for a botched root canal. He agreed to it in his own records. I continued making payments after that until my balance was roughly what the root canal was originally charged. No credit appeared on any statements.
Why is it that when someone posts a negative review, it is suddenly countered by 2 positive reviews? In my opinion Dr. Zietz should be reprimanded for the false, fraudulent and deceptive Internet postings by him, his wife and / or employees DE. 6.02(1). I also feel he should lose his license for endangering a patient’s health, welfare and safety DE 5.02 (1, 2). He allowed me to walk around with continuous infections from his work, which he occasionally would treat with antibiotics and percodan. He re-cemented the crown and charged me for it over and over again but the crown was never loose, the tooth was. He did this for four and a half years without ever getting to the root of the problem. I have only recently learned that in cases of dental abscess, a root canal done with reasonable skill and safety would "normally be recommended in an attempt to save the tooth". (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.…). This would seem to indicate that root canals are usually the treatment for abscesses, not the cause.

110%, really? Dr. Zietz can't possibly do more than 100% nor can he do a "more than professional" job.
Topmmytb is obviously either Dr. Zietz himself, his wife or an employee.
This comment is a violation of state law. (DE6.02) Unprofessional advertising.

I complained in person, I showed him the tooth. He threw it away and promised me credit. I don't care, I still have photos of the extracted tooth and x-rays from the dentist who removed it.
If you read my complaint you would notice that I continued paying him until I realized that he lied about giving me credit. I hope you still care about him, after he loses his licence because of your postings.

comments by tommytb have been traced to Dr. Zietz' residence in Verona WI.

Dr. Zietz' (as tommytb) has published/communicated another deceptive statement that violates Wisconsin State law. Only Dr. Zietz would know that the police were going to contact me about my alleged "harassment". This could not possibly be anyone else unless he shared information with other patients or "friends". (Either way he has broken the law.) I tracked the comment to Verona like all the rest of his fraudulent and deceptive claims. (See link to tommytb's profile.) Dr. Zietz apparently thinks that the police will violate my civil rights for him. This would give him free rein and the last word; however these Internet websites were designed for the specific purpose of honest people like me, to complain about crooks like him. He seems to think it's the other way around. Him and/or his cohorts continually speak to me directly, while I have always referred to him in the third person when stating my personal opinions. I ask you who is harassing whom, and who is being threatened? I was told by the police to have no further contact with Dr. Zietz; however I have not spoken to him or had any direct contact with him since the last time he hammered on my teeth and promised me a full discount for the root canal he botched. I do not wish to complain to the D.S.P.S. every time that Dr. Zietz violates the law, as their inbox would be full every day; however I will be sending them a copy of this correspondence by the end of next week with any further transgressions I discover. I also will be filing suit against him soon.

In my opinion Dr. Zietz is a liar, he promises/offers discounts and never follows up and
if you complain he will call the police and say you are threatening him.

Dr. Zietz Family Dentistry and Orthodontics is the name of Fred e Zietz' fake business. The scam he "works" uses dentistry as a cover story to mask his actual(illegal operation). Dr. Fred E Zietz uses shills to bring in"patients" on a massive scale. Meanwhile he also acts as a shill to lure in as many "patients" as he can. First he sizes up the "patients" to see if they are viable for being sued' If they seem viable to Dr Zietz, He does a little "work" on them simply to produce an outstanding a bill Next he takes this outstanding bill to small claims court and gets a judgement against them promptly turning the hapless "patient" over to The Collection Agency The idea being to sell the bill to The Collection Agency. Unquestioned by the Dental Examining Board. He gets judgements against the patients. Garnishees their wages. Turn the bills over or to the collection agency for a percentage of the bill As these patients are being sued and have judgements on them. The Collection Agency tries to collect them same money from them . Dr Zietz is not concerned in the least. Unfairly making their credit rating bad. "A Complete Fraud"

I was in the office and it was quite nice- They had a person in the next chair translating in Spanish. They took my insurance and Delta dental paid for all of the charges. I was afraid and uncertain, but I will go back.

I have been a friend and patient of Dr. Zietz. He has helped many people and is one of the few dentists in the Madison area that takes discounts for people in need. He also has a dental office that has thrived for over 20 years. Rough and toothless hides on the internet but I believe the police will contact him soon for his harassment. Go to court if you have a real complaint and stop posting pictures that make no sense...you can get pictures all over the internet.

This sounds like a ridiculous story- Did you go to his office and complain in person? I find people like this usually owe money for work done and don't want to go back. Really he charged you again and again and again? Come on!

Dr. Zietz office is fair and and kind to all patients. He has been doing this for some 20+ years. I know he offers payment options and from what I know, he has only sent people to a collection agency as a last resort. This would be true of any business.

Dr. Fred Zietz agrees to work on (us) people and we have made payments. He has been fair and is willing to work out payments. He has extended himself to work after normal hours if needed. He has always explained any problems with my mouth and seems to give it a 110%.
