I was a patient at this practice for years and I agree with a couple of the reviews that believe this dentist is doing unnecessary, costly procedures. I also agree with the unecessary Invisalign sales pitch and I got taken on that along with multiple crowns and sealants that were not required. Every other time I went to this office, it cost me $1200 - $5000 for crowns, root canals or implants. I looked on multiple web reviews for this office (HealthGrades, Dr. Oogle and Yelp) and the same complaints are everywhere.
I don't have dental insurance and I was offered a 5% discount for payment in full upfront for procedure. 5% off of an unneeded procedure isn't much of a deal.There were other instances over the years involving other crowns and dental implants that I refused after I grew suspicious of the true motives of this practitioner. "Watch and wait" is not in his lexicon, it's "drill the shill" to pay for his BMW and Brookfield membership.
Another Yelp reviewer lamented that his dentist's practice had been acquired by Lesinski. That partnership didn't last long as the "acquired" dentist departed quickly. I changed dentists in mid-2014 and with the new dentist, all the "upselling" has vanished. Just before I left Lesinski's practice in mid 2014, I was told that I needed two more crowns for about $2,400.
I went to my new dentist weeks after I left this office and didn't say anything about the diagnosis for two more crowns. The new dentist told me that the x-rays he just took showed my teeth were fine. I made him aware of the prior diagnosis and he said all he saw was a newer ceramic fillings that had some small amounts of amalgam left when it was replaced but it did not require crowns. Case closed with a clean cut second medical opinion as proof that I was getting "churned" on unneeded and very expensive procedures. As suggested by another reviewer, avoiding this practitioner is in your best interest. read more
