Asheville – Bouche, a dental spa-studio on Biltmore Avenue operated by Dr. Kathryn Philpott-Hill, has temporarily closed.
A phone message said the office has temporarily closed due to doctor’s illness and advised patients to seek care from another dentist or at the emergency room. A sign on the door said the office was closed due to illness and more information will be available as soon as possible.
Karen Weihs has been a patient of Philpott-Hill for seven years and found out that the office was closed when she came to Asheville for her appointment Tuesday morning. Weihs has four temporary crowns and had already paid $10,000 for permanent crowns.
Weihs has been told that the office is trying to get another dentist to fill in for Philpott-Hill.
“She’s been a very good dentist for me but this is very upsetting,” Weihs said. “My lawyer is telling me that I am out $10,000 and to see a new dentist and I am very upset.”
Dental Spa Closes Permanently (07/18/08)
A local dentist office closes for good, because of financial issues and the doctor’s illness. The staff at Bouche, Dr. Kathryn Philpott-Hill’s studio for asethetic dentistry, released a statement Friday afternoon, saying they’re working to get patients’ records to them. Many of them paid upfront for services; now they want to know if they’ll get their money back.
Some told us they signed on with the GE CareCredit program. A financial provider that worked with Philpott-Hill. A CareCredit spokeswoman told
News 13 that in some cases, patients will pay CareCredit in installments while CareCredit pays the doctor in full.
The company terminated its services with Philpott-Hill in March because of an increase in disputes. The spokeswoman says they do not want patients to have to pay for services not performed. Dr. Philpott-Hill’s attorney could not comment on whether patients will get any refunds.
