It's been a few months since we switched over to a new insurance plan, but it only occurred to me…read morelast week that my husband and I are due for our dentist visits. So, I called Team Dental to schedule appointments for my husband and me. I did not think there would be any available openings and was expecting to wait 1-2 months before seeing our new dentist. To my surprise, the office manager, Lauren was able to squeeze us in for a weekday evening slot. All my life, I've had to wait 20 minutes or longer in the waiting room before the dentist/dental assistant sees me. But NOT at Team Dental. The dentist/dental assistant/dental hygienist was ready to see me pretty much as soon as I arrived. All the staff at Team Dental are very friendly and professional. My first dentist visit was with Dr. Muhammad. Not only was he super thorough with my examination but he had THE BEST bedside manner of any dentist I've ever seen. After my examination, he explained to me the condition of my teeth and explained why I needed a deep cleaning. I started to freak out about how bad my teeth were, but he was very reassuring and took time to show me photos of worst-case scenario gum disease and that I was nowhere near that. All I had to do was get the deep cleaning and floss a lot more. Cynthia, the dental hygienist who did the deep cleaning for me was amazing too. I was nervous before the deep cleaning because I've never had one done before, but she properly numbed me so that I did not feel any pain. Then she deep cleaned the **** out of my teeth. Never have my teeth felt so good and so clean!!! Seeing the dentalcare I'm getting at Team Dental made me realize what good dentalcare is like. My previous dentists did the bare minimum and were never this thorough. Up to yesterday, I thought my teeth were fine, but they really weren't! Also, Team Dental understands the urgency of the health of your teeth. If you are experiencing pain and the longer care is delayed, the worse your condition will get. They will try to get you in as soon as possible, no matter how busy they are. It is really a great feeling to know the health of your teeth is in good hands with Team Dental.

It has been about 10 years that I wanted to get this procedure done, and I had postponed it for so long because I was afraid to ruin my very problematic teeth, and worried about the entire process.

Throughout the process, Dr. Jaffari was transparent about everything, he demonstrated true skill, pedantry and kindness. The result is just beautiful, so much better than anything I could hope for. Cannot recommend more strongly.

Someone else noted they have been sold to PE, and it is clear they are now pushing unnecessary procedures (more on that at the end) and treating their clients badly. Their 5 star reviews are from years ago, and I would have given them a similar review when I started with them. I began with this practice 3 years ago, and felt confident in Dr Balin. A combination of personal matters and lack of insurance kept me away for ~18 months. When I went back in July, things had clearly changed. I was asked to fill out new patient information, which I found odd, but I'd been away for a while so, ok. Then, despite having done so in the past, they wouldn't file an insurance claim for me, and said I had to do it myself. It requires codes and whatnot that I didn't have. They said they would provide those, and yet I was emailed a copy of my charge receipt, and had to follow up 2x to get the detailed information. I was kept waiting for over 30 mins when I finally approached the reception desk and asked what was happening. Previously someone would have come over to tell me what was going on. I was barely acknowledged (no eye contact whatsoever), and told my hygienist was running behind. Ok, so you have a job you don't like and you're surly, I can understand that. When I finally do get to the treatment room, there is no acknowledgement that I had been kept waiting 45 mins. (there is a reason I'm detailing the wait -- it's not just the poor client relations) I am there for a routine cleaning. I have had very good teeth all my life, and I take good care of them. So she does some xrays, makes comments to herself but not me, then tells me I need scaling and planing, not just a routine cleaning, and they will start it today. I said, I know what that is and I'm surprised I need it, I don't know if my insurance will cover it, and so I don't want to start it today. She calls in Dr Balin, who says yes, it should be done; your teeth are in good condition but there is bacteria up in the gums. She leaves, then the hygienist says ok, we'll get you prepped. And I'm like hold on, I just came in for a cleaning, I'm not prepared to start on anything today, and can you just do the cleaning? She starts getting all emotional, 'it will be my license if we don't treat you properly,' and basically refuses to do the cleaning, raising the chair to get me to leave. And I don't get out of the chair. I tell her again, I came for a cleaning, I was scheduled for a cleaning, and I'd like a cleaning. Then she tells me she is running behind and doesn't have time to do the cleaning. WHAT??? You kept me waiting 45 mins, you (and Dr Balin I assume) have time to get a scaling and planing underway, and now you can't do a routine cleaning? I remain calm and remind her she kept me waiting 45 mins. She then goes back to talk to Dr Balin. I hear whispers, but not what was said. She comes back, total change of personality, all sweetness and light, and does the cleaning. No one follows up with me about scheduling the scaling and planing, nor do they try to schedule another routine exam and cleaning. It was all very strange. I'm finally writing this review because I just got to another dentist (recommended by a friend) who told me there is no way I need a scaling and planing, nor am I having any signs of gingivitis or early periodontal disease. I sent my xrays in advance (thankfully I got them from Rittenhouse Dentists with only 2 phone calls) He noted that my teeth and bone are in excellent condition, gums are healthy and have some recession but that is to be expected 'at my level of maturity' (61yo). He said some practices work the system so they can bill insurance for a more costly procedure that isn't needed. He shook his head and noted that experiences like mine are why people hate dentists. Between his commenst and the other reviewer's discovery of the PE ownership, my experience now makes sense. Do yourself a favor and find a dentist who cares about clients and the dental profession overall, and not just money.

No additional "selling" of things that has made me feel really scheezy at other dentist offices. 3) Tight knit and kind team that always makes me feel at ease. 4) FAST appointments.

I initially went in for a cleaning, which was fine, but later had three fillings done--one of which fell out just 20 minutes after the appointment, and another about a month later. I also questioned the accuracy of the diagnosis, as the dentist strongly pushed to get very small cavities filled, and was also insistent that I remove my permanent retainer and start Invisalign--recommendations I hadn't received before. It all felt overly pushy and a bit off. When I went to a new density to get these fillings fixed, an actual dentist redid them, unlike the here when they were filled by her assistant. The staff wasn't particularly friendly, but they did refund my money, which I appreciated. Overall, it was an odd experience and I wouldn't recommend this office. If you have no other options, it might be acceptable for a basic cleaning, but I personally wouldn't return.

I am still dealing with an utter mess after visiting Dr. Kinga's Allegheny office. I was very wary of the treatment plan Dr. Kinga outlined on my first visit. After x-rays and a technique she used to measure my gums, she said I would need a thorough (and definitely painful) gum scaling. That was my first appointment, and I was encouraged to make 2 more follow up appointments on the spot. On my next appointment, without even cleaning my teeth, she filled a cavity, and attempted to fix a small chip in my front tooth. If I had more life experience or know-how about basic dentistry, I would have known how unprofessional and below the board the place really is--but as it was, I trusted Dr. Kinga's expertise as best I could, even though I knew not doing a cleaning first seemed fishy. I then got a bill for the work done so far, over $600 for: -Xrays -1 fixed chip tooth -1 filling -The so-called gum measurement A WEEK LATER, the chip repair on my front tooth snapped directly off the tooth, taking more enamel with it. It was very painful, and caused me a great deal of anxiety and discomfort. I went directly back into the office to show Dr. Kinga my tooth. She said she could fix it for me, but by that time, I wanted nothing to do with them. Even without insurance, I am certain they were trying to bill me to their advantage only; jacking up prices is a dirty and dishonest thing to do. To make matters worse for them, I am now a patient at an extremely reputable Dental practice, where upon first seeing my teeth, they told me my gums were perfectly fine, and they suspected that suggesting scaling was an attempt by Dr. Kinga at over-treatment for the purpose of collecting more money. My new dentist also confirmed that it was extremely negligent and ridiculous that Dr. Kinga did not clean my teeth before performing her dental work. They were able to see dental adhesive/cement on my chipped tooth, and confirmed that the enamel had been extremely damaged by Dr. Kinga's botched work. I paid my new dentist to restore the tooth completely, which of course cost even more money. I have a bill for the remainder of the services that were performed at North East Dental that has been sent to collections, and I am working with them and a lawyer to resolve this issue. All I would like is the bill dropped, as on principle alone I refuse to pay someone who caused MORE damage to my teeth, but North East Dental has been extremely unprofessional whilst I try to resolve this issue with them. Dr. Kinga would not speak with me on the phone, instead instructing the receptionist, who was extremely rude, to tell me there is nothing they can do until Dr. Kinga "talks to her husband." I am able to continue with my lawyer even without their cooperation, but seeing as I made it clear that all I want is the bill dropped because of actual, recorded, painful damage to my teeth, you would think they would want to cooperate or even display a bare minimum amount of professionalism. They continue to deny any responsibility, parroting the phrase that they "did this work in good faith" and demand to be paid. Utterly ridiculous. I may be young, but I know I have rights as a patient, and I refuse to pay them a cent. I would recommend that you STAY AWAY from North East Dental. What a nightmare!
