Very friendly and warm staff and Dr. Eric Smiga is great. I had an amazing visit and although I was…read morenervous about my extraction, the staff and Dr made me feel very comfortable.

I recently went to Pittsburgh Oral Surgery located on Fort Couch Road, Pittsburgh, PA for a tooth…read moreextraction and consultation regarding possible tooth implant. As far as dental office visits go, my recent visit went really well. Although I have been to Pittsburgh Oral Surgery for prior dental work this was my first visit to their Fort Couch Road office. Normally I go to their Monroeville, PA office, rescheduled my appointment because of work related scheduling problems. Arrived approx. 7:00 AM for an 8:30 AM appointment and was warmly greeted and made to feel "right at home." The person working in the office asked me to update my existing on-file information. I asked if there was a place in the building to get a cup of coffee, she promptly offered to make me a cup; it was very good and appreciated. After returning the paper work a short wait ensued and then a dental assistant escorted me back to the place where the procedure would take place. The room was exceptionally clean with a great view out of a large window; all of the furniture and equipment seemed up-to-date and in a good state of repair. Next, I met Dr. Eric Smiga; he greeted me with a great smile and positive demeanor. He explained the upcoming procedure, reviewed my paperwork and x-ray, examined my tooth, discussed the potential implant, injected some painkiller, made sure I was comfortable and said he would return after a few minutes. In the interim, another person came in to explain costs and insurance terms & conditions; a very transparent and upfront process -- no surprises. Shortly thereafter Dr. Smiga returned for the "main event." He gave me an "insurance" injection of painkiller and proceeded to remove the tooth. Before I knew it, the procedure was complete and the dental assistant was explaining post extraction procedures that should be followed. Someone in the office called my prescription (an antibiotic) into my local pharmacy and I was good to go. Before leaving the office, arranged for a 1-week follow-up appointment with Dr. Smiga at their Monroeville office to make sure everything was healing the way it should. Someone, don't remember whom, suggested taking an over the counter pain pill as a proactive defense against pain when the procedure painkiller wore off. No problem had some Tylenol in the car. After arriving at my car, took a pain pill from my backpack and glanced at my watch before heading off to work -- it was 8:20 AM. I was out of there before my appointment was scheduled to start. Follow-up; took one Extra Strength Tylenol three times 6-hours apart after the extraction and have remained pain free, no issues. Had my follow-up visit this morning -- no problems, everything looks good. I don't think anyone looks forward to going to the dentist, but from beginning to end, Pittsburgh Oral Surgery made this a very positive experience.

Dr, Bianco is a competent and caring oral surgeon; however his front office staff are dishonest,…read moreincompetent, vindictive and malicious. They should not be working in health care. They caused me a lot of unnecessary grief and expense. A person would be better off going to a competent dentist who also has a competent and honest staff. They are a danger to the patient and undermining trust in the dentist they report to.

Doctor was efficient and personable as was attending nurse. However,…read moreafter I paid the amount due that day and insurance paid their portion, A small $7 balance was outstanding, which I was previously unaware of. Instead of merely requesting payment, I received a snarky comment from their receivables girl, stating they made me aware that day I owed the balance due. I paid what I was told that day and am not a mind reader! Buy yourself a personality and professional business skills, receivables girl!

Thank you to Emmert Dental Bethel park for helping me out. Again the staff was very friendly and professional and my new crown looks and feels great, no pain no problem, and that works for me. Price was commensurate with other dental offices prices. Thanks

Left work 3 hours early. Drove 40 minutes to be told the power was out and couldn't be seen. when…read moreasked why I wasn't called was told time got away from them. Then I was asked if I had my referral with me which I did not. Was told he wouldn't have been able to see me without it. I was never informed of that. Then he asked if I had any dental implants. I said yes, my front teeth that had been knocked out due to a fall on ice years ago. He said I dont see people with dental implants. When i asked why I wasnt imformed of that when I called he said he tries to get the staff to ask questions but they dont . what a waste of time. Cant even imagine how poor the dental work would be with such a mess they all are.

The dentist seemed average but the young girl cleaning teeth did not clean half of my teeth. She…read morecompletely missed the outside of both top sides of my teeth and completed the cleaning in under five minutes. She sucks bad and needs trained or managed properly. I don't think she is qualified to be a dental tech. I watched her do my son after myself and the same thing. We will not be returning here EVER. We were both complete in under twenty minutes and she attempted to reschedule before we were done. No X-rays taken on me(first time here) or my child's filing was not completed which was the whole point of this visit for him. The dentist stated he would be right back to fill it but we were basically pushed out the door by the tech and she said reschedule to get it filled when the dentist clearly said he would be right back. DO NOT GO HERE! I never leave reviews but had to here.
