Over 3 1/2 years ago, I went to Dr. Weingarden for advice on sensitive gums. I had had veneers on…read moremy two front teeth for a few years, and he thought that they may be ill-fitting, causing my gums to hurt. Not only did he recommend I get new veneers, he thought that the best path was to get gum-reshaping surgery first. Taking his professional opinion into account, I did what he suggested. I first had to get my veneers temporarily replaced so that there would be the correct amount of room to perform the gum surgery. That was a horrible experience in and of itself, but that had nothing to do with Dr. Weingarden or his office. What happened after the gum surgery however, was and still is the most unprofessionally handled situation I've ever experienced. I had the gum surgery, and was expected to return within 3 days for a check up. I was told that my gums would be on their way to healing by that point. 3 days after the surgery, they looked like I had just walked out of the office after them being cut. They were actively bleeding and still incredibly sore. At this point, Dr. Weingarden said that he wasn't used to seeing this, and placed me on antibiotics just in case there was some sort of infection. I won't take you through the misery of each of my appointments over the next two months. After seeing him week after week with no improvement, Dr. Weingarden at one point suggested that I must be scratching my gums during my sleep. 1) I clip my fingernails very short, so they weren't any sort of gum weaponry. 2) Before this appointment, one of his hygienist stated that she thought there was originally too much gum taken and that's why I wasn't healing correctly. 3) Are you kidding me?? SCRATCHING MY GUMS AT NIGHT?! After this appointment, he suggested that I visit one of the best periodontist in Pittsburgh, Dr. Silberg. I made an appointment immediately, wanting my pain and discomfort to come to an end. What I didn't know before walking in was that Dr. Weingarden was good buddies with Dr. Silberg, and got him up to speed on my situation. I don't know how that conversation went, but somewhere in there had to have been some sort of "you have to have my back on this" statement. Dr. Silberg was not only rude and dismissive, he was actually aggressive and hostile. Now I understand that this was not in and of itself Dr. Weingarden's fault. I do however believe that Dr. Weingarden knew he was in the wrong and called his good ole pal to make sure that I had a second opinion that agreed with his. As I mentioned, this was over 3 1/2 years ago. My gums still bleed every time I brush them, even after getting new veneers that cost $3,500 to furnish. I'm still in pain any time the wind hits my face or I'm too close to an air conditioner. I can't ride with the windows down and it's not very comfortable to even kiss my significant other. My every day quality of life is lessened because of this, and I think unfortunately always will be. For that, I have Dr. Weingarden to thank. I wouldn't return to this man for a good flossing. I'm sure he can clean your teeth, but don't let him or his partner come near you with a surgical device. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE DON'T SCRATCH YOUR GUMS IN YOUR SLEEP!!!

His demeanor was smug, he gave me some false information, and overall he was very condescending towards me during the "evaluation". That's how I felt. I will never go back there and agree with the previous poster - I wouldn't let him touch me or my mouth ever again!
