Stay away from this guy. After some routine hygenist visits, I lost a tooth and need a bridge. He charged me $4000 for supposedly a "2 hour" visit, then back in two weeks to have the bridge installed. You'd think that for $4000 for 2 hours I'd get this guys full attention, but no. He had at least three other patients in the office and rotated among us. So, my 2 hr appt lasted 3 1/2 hours. The casting of a mold for the top teeth took three painful tries. The cast of the bottom teeth was either not done or lost, they told me later, necessitating a third visit. One of the cords put around my gums and tightened, was "forgotten" and left in my mouth causing me severe pain for several days until it fell out. And the temporary bridge I was given fell out a week before the permanent one was to be installed. Since I was out of the country, I had to spend 7 days with four missing teeth, the area extremely sensitive to heat and cold. And finally, just before installing the final bridge, with me in the chair with my mouth propped open, he insisted on immediate full payment, or he would not install the bridge. A threat and an insult at once. But, the way this guy practices dentistry, he probably has lots of patients who refuse to pay.

About Hygienist: A hygenist named Pragna is the only good thing I experienced at Treinkman's dental factory.

I know this doctor: 18 months
