If I could give him a zero, i would. Stay far away from Dr. Kaufteil and his staff especially if you have insurance. As a participating provider you should not have any out of pocket costs for covered procedures. Dr. Kauftheil will send you to Jay, John, Abby or Fabby who will lure you into thinking that they will accept your insurance. They will tell you that they are a participating provider of your insurance to lure you into his office. He will begin a dental procedure and bill your insurance company. After he receives payment of the work he started, he will tell you that your insurance does not pay what he charges and demand large amounts of money from you to complete the procedure. If you do not pay, he will not complete the work. He doesn't have the latest dental technology and if you are getting an implant, he will send you to another location to get x-rays that you must pay hundreds of dollars for then, he will tell you that Dr. Lee who is a part of his practice to evaluate you to do the implant. Guess what? after you have go forward with him, he will tell you that Dr.Lee does not accept insurance. He will then demand thousands of dollars from you to complete the procedure. If you do not pay, he will not go forward. He will show you travel videos to keep you from seeing how unsanitary his office is. Oh and let me not forget to tell you that he changes the name of his business on google to hide the negative reviews. Do a google search of Toothdocs Madison, Dentists on Madison and Tooth Docs. He also changes his address from 175 Madison to 171 Madison, 5th Ave office, Rosylyn, LI office where his wife works to hide his practice. Don't take my word for it. See for yourself. Go on yelp, google and Glassdoor look at his lowest reviews. His office will ask you to post a positive review for him. And please, don't trust his office managers, Jay, John, Abby, Fabby, Phoebe and other names that they make up. They get paid to lure you in. You wont see many reviews because he takes down his website and starts over again to hide them. They have been in business for quite some time. Call the NY County Clerks Office to get his true business name and address.He is a scam artist. You will thank me for revealing who he really is. read more
