She immediately came towards my teeth with the cold air tool, and I quickly said no because it causes intense pain on my recessed gum area. Even the assistant seemed shocked and said no to her.

She acted amused and said, "Oh, really? What do you have PTSD about?" The visit cost me $150. Complete waste of time and money. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

As the first point of contact, their interaction with you sets the mood for how the rest of the visit is going to go & the level of care and respect a patient should expect to receive. I find it highly disturbing though how unprofessional, disrespectful, and just downright nasty this receptionist treated me just because I DARED to ask her questions about the services they offered adults. Before I can even get a chance to inform her that my sons are patients there and schedule their annual exam she quickly dismissed me and told me in a rude voice that I do not take Husky for adults! I said OK well I would like to schedule an appt. for my sons... I was immediately interrupted and was told once again in a very infantilizing tone I told you, "we do not take Husky for adults okaaaaay!" I said well then you should know NOT ONLY DOES IT NOT SAY THAT ON YOUR WEBSITE. But in fact, 211 info line states that you do? Instead of apologizing or just saying, well, I'm sorry for the misrepresentation...she hung up on me?! I called back & asked if it was an accident that I was hung up on? Only to be told in her augmentative tone "No, It wasn't!" I said, why would you hang up on a patient? Her VERY professional response was " why what are you gonna do about it?" I asked to speak with the dentist and she stated there is no need for me to get her. I am her daughter so I know with certainty my mother will agree with me when I say find your sons another dentist, and hung up on me AGAIN! I think it goes without saying if this is the level of care you receive at the front desk. God help you if you become a patient of this FAMILY practice!

The staff - from the front desk, to the billing office, and certainly to the Dentists could not be more amazing. Everyone at all levels is so professional and polite. It is very clear that the staff enjoy where they work and like what they do. Who looks forward and actually LIKES going to the dentist? Is it crazy to say that I actually do now just because of how awesome everyone is there?! I specifically HAVE to shout out my girl Aicha. I had the ABSOLUTE pleasure of meeting and speaking with her as she was temporarily covering in the Milford location last week but was thrilled that I got to see her at her primary location in West Haven when I went in for an emergency extraction yesterday. It was such a tough and painful day yesterday and when I walked in and saw her, I wanted to hug her (but didn't! haha). Each time she has made me feel SO comfortable. I really want to recognize what an asset she is. I do hope that she gets to read this (Hi Aicha!) and gets some type of recognition. Because of her, and certainly many many other members of your staff, I have recommended Shoreline Dental to many people. As I said, I think most people don't "enjoy" going to the dentist but with groups like this, I'm just sorry I didn't discover them sooner. I also want to take time to say how unbelievably grateful I am for Dr. Joseph Tartagni was incredible. Yesterday was my first time (and hopefully my last!) having a tooth pulled and he made me feel so at ease. I can't thank him enough for not only seeing me so quickly but making it as pleasant as an experience as having a tooth pulled could be. Totally professional, efficient, and above all else - SO kind. His son, Dr. Jason Tartagni, I met with at the Milford location as well and can say all the same things. What an absolute top notch practice you all have. 500 stars! Thank you again! I will be back soon!

My experience with this dentist was one of the worst in my life. Last year, I began feeling a…read morestrange sensation in one of my back molars. Concerned, I booked an emergency appointment (which was incredibly expensive) with Dr. Adrienne Tartagni the following day. The appointment seemed routine; they took X-rays, which I didn't expect to reveal anything alarming since I had seen my own dentist back in my home state less than two months prior for an exam and cleaning, as I don't reside permanently in CT. After reviewing the X-rays, Dr. Tartagni performed a hot and cold test on my tooth and abruptly informed me that I needed a root canal. I was surprised because I didn't feel much during the test and mentioned this to her. Looking back, it seemed like she was either guessing or pushing for unnecessary treatment. After being told I needed a root canal, I was taken to the financial office and given an exorbitant out-of-pocket estimate. The news was especially stressful since I am a college student and my dental coverage is in my home state. Ultimately, I sought a second opinion from my dentist back home, who promptly reassured me that my tooth was perfectly fine and that I had narrowly avoided being taken advantage of. Multiple X-rays confirmed this, and other dentists agreed that no treatment was necessary. This happened about a year ago, and today, my tooth feels completely normal and the strange sensation has disappeared. It even felt better a couple of days after the visit, despite the lady working in the financial office saying that the "pain would likely just get worse" if I didn't go through with the procedure. My dentist back in my home state confirmed it was just sensitivity, which I'm confident he was correct about. I believe Dr. Tartagni and her office should feel ashamed for causing such unnecessary stress. While I understand that medical professionals can make mistakes, the entire experience was incredibly frustrating. I often reflect on how fortunate I was to have questioned whether the procedure was truly necessary, especially considering the invasiveness of a root canal. This situation has left me wondering how many others may have been similarly affected by their practices. If faced with a recommendation for an invasive procedure by this office and you're unsure of its necessity, I strongly urge seeking a second opinion.

After moving into the area my Husband and I stumbled on this practice and we actually really liked it. Mind you, I HATE the dentist and anything having to do with them. Going every 6 months makes me want to hang myself. Also, I have no cavities or any other issue with my teeth so it's not like I hold a grudge. The people are very nice and we receive emails, texts and phone calls to remind us of our appointments. The waiting room and exam rooms are very clean and well lit, sometimes chilly, but our appointments are usually 7:30am so it's expected a little. They have a "live" camera that allows them to snap pictures of your mouth and it gets displayed on the monitor on front of you so you know exactly what is going on in your mouth and the can switch to previous xrays to see if anything has changed. Before your leave, your hygienist makes your next appointment also right on that screen and you are assigned the same person each time. She also schedules my husbands appointment even while he's in the room next door. Coming from a small town with no updated technology, I just found all of this fascinating (and I am in my 20's)! The only down side is in the last 4 years, I think we have only met our dentist once. I wouldn't know him if I ran into him and the last few times we have a young girl filling in as the dentist. So it is quite strange...not sure where the two Dentist's are, but the place itself is fab....for a dentist office.
