My experience with Dr. Teitelbaum was extremely negative and I have filed an official complaint against him because of his treatment of me:
---I experienced extreme pain from him and then he chuckled about it
---he either misdiagnosed my problem or augmented it...the xray he took before he worked on my tooth showed no crack, but part way through he took another xray which showed a crack and he stopped the root canal
---he took cash payment for his work and gave me a signed receipt for that amount; later his receptionist said I had not paid the amount on the receipt and offered to write me a new receipt for the lower amount
---the amount on the form sent into the insurance company had the lower amount, and the procedure was not listed as a root canal but a general form of dental therapy...this was not accepted as a coverable procedure by the insurance company
---all this has resulted in thousands of dollars of expense...extraction of the tooth and restoration~replacement
