This isn’t intended as a body slam against the business themselves. My understanding is that Tompkins dental is the only dental provider in Ithaca, possibly even the county, that accepts Medicaid. But getting told today that I can get my teeth cleaned in February is insane. How are they running this business? This really suggests that there is a need for either more businesses to pick up Medicaid or either more dental businesses to come into Tompkins County.

I did ask why it took so much longer than usual, and I was told simply that it was because of “an influx of patients”. Ok, but why…?

Can anyone shed any light as what’s maybe going on here for dental providers within Ithaca and broader Tompkins County?
