The care at Dr. Allegretti's office is generally good but it is very apparent that his office considers itself a high-brow dentistry operation. Customer service from the front desk attendant initially appears to be good, although the $100 missed-appointment fee is outrageous. At expressing my concern about such a high fee, the desk attendant became rude, cynical and unhelpful. She laughed when I expressed that Dr. Allegretti's services were becoming too expensive. Thus, I will never go back to this dentist; I'll go somewhere that accepts the low-benefit government dental insurance and doesn't require huge ($250+) out-of-pocket visit charges for simple teeth cleanings.
