Consumer beware! Do your research and look at other 1 star reviews, unfortunately this situation was not unique.
I came in today for an ortho consult, even the front desk person admitted its not the docs specialty but they could see what she could do and I could have a consult. Since I only needed a retainer and they were close by I came to see for myself. Turns out she was not comfortable in what I was asking and charged 6x what others are without even looking in my mouth besides having me smile briefly, rest of time consisted of a tour of the office (bathroom, coffee, etc) and the dog gave me an over priced quote which should never happened over the phone then I was charged $80 for a consult which I wasn't made aware of until I left. when I questioned this, the front desk person had Christine come out and I expected to hear from her that maybe they are sorry but that's their policy etc.. but instead she raised her voice and was condescending and kept encroaching on my personal space despite me backing up repeatedly and letting her know she made me feel uncomfortable. She got mad and said you wouldn't go to Meijer and leave without paying for milk. She was clearly being hostile so I complements disengaged and said I was uncomfortable and would pay I just want to leave. Despite not arguing with her, she kept getting closer and closer in my face and i kept backing up and repeating myself after I paid about how uncomfortable she was making me and that I was ready to leave. I cannot imagine any worse treatment, do yourself a favor and find a professional that will be up front on their pricing and better yet that will offer complimentary consultations to ensure you're a good fit and definitely stay away if you don't enjoy being disrespected. Regarding your reply doctor Tenaglia, I cash guarantee your office did not inform me of the cost, please check your records. And as I'm new in town I checked with my former orthodontist and others in the area and they were shocked at what you did, completely unprofessional and disrespectful. And please do tell how it helped to get in my face and raise your voice about not going to Meijer without paying for milk when I was allowed you and your office nothing but respect. I was ripped off and misguided and it's sad that's the way you have to make your money
