Tregerman Irv DDS

This review is purely based on my experience with his office staff.
I had two previous appointments with Dr. Tregerman and he as well as his dental hygienists are professional and knowledgeable.
His office staff is short, rude and unhelpful. I have just switched my insurance and because the changes were so recent, the new information had not shown yet. Instead of explaining that this may take up to a week to resolve and to call back then, I was told that she spent hours on my insurance (her job) and that I may be better suited for a different office. I agreed… I do not want to interact with this office again. However, I requested the doctor give me a call so I could briefly describe my experience with his staff. I was told that he is too busy to call me back, despite the fact that I am still his patient.
As a physician myself, I would be embarrassed if this was how my staff represented me to my patients.

I started out as a patient at Dr. Tregerman’s office about 2 months ago. Due to some time away from a dentist, I’ve been in 4 times so far, and each time, I have left more satisfied than the last. 3 out of 4 of my appointments started right on time (or earlier), and I was out of there in no time. Dr. T is fast, efficient, but through, and takes time to get to know his patients. He is highly professional, but knows how to make you feel at home, especially when performing a procedure that’s not exactly pleasant.
After my first filling, I noticed an air bubble (apparently this is a common occurrence in fillings they use nowadays), and pointed it out at my next appointment. He fixed it in 2 minutes flat, no questions asked, and was very gracious about it. I have one more appointment left (for now), and I’m sure I’ll be adding another star after my next visit!

Dr. T is a true professional that I would highly recommend. He is very kind, gentle, thorough, and you can tell he genuinely cares about you as a patient. You’ll be informed throughout the entire procedure, and then it is over before you realize. The entire staff is very friendly, warm, and makes you feel like a friend. Scheduling an appointment is very easy and you’ll be seen right away! Overall a perfect dentist!

I had two appointments at Dr. Tregerman’s office: the first for cleaning and the next for more extensive work, plus a follow-​up to address some issues that had arisen following the second visit. The first appointment went really well; the second and the follow-​up, not so much.
The pros:
Dr. Tregerman’s hygienists are all FANTASTIC as far as I can tell. They were professional, highly competent, helpful, friendly and respectful.
Dr. Tregerman himself is competent and didn’t push me to spend money that I didn’t have to spend.
The cons:
On my second visit and follow-​up, Dr. T seemed highly impatient and defensive whenever I had a question or complaint about the work that was done. I understand that he’s a busy man, but the result was that I left feeling uncertain about the quality of work and determined not to go back.
The billing office and admin are pretty aggressive and not too organized. I checked in with them to ensure that we were all squared away before I left my second appointment, yet received a bill 3 weeks later that I didn’t understand. After another 4 – 5 days — BEFORE the due date on the first bill passed, they sent a SECOND statement threatening to send my account to collections. Super unprofessional, especially when the mistake came from their end. I’ve tried calling several times and have yet to get anything other than voicemail on the other end of the line.

Really really great guy, very competent and very reasonable prices.
I was getting ripped off by my previous dentist so I came here. My DMO plan didn’t cover this dentist so I had to pay out of pocket but prices were reasonable. So relieved to find a competent dentist who isn’t after my money.
He recommended to an implant surgeon that was extremely competent and reasonably priced.
I have to go back to get the final part of my implants done but I am so happy with the service and reasonable prices, I felt compelled to write a review now.
