Park Slope Dentistry: Ronald Teichman DDS

04/22/2008 Posted by skvely

The office is very clean and the wait is never too long. What some reviewers say about incorrect quotes is very much true. Sophia can be in turn very sweet and helpful (re scheduling), or unbelievably rude and nasty - it really just depends on the day and if you're asking for something that pertains to billing backup. To be honest, I go here because they have THE BEST technician I have ever had doing the regular cleans. If you go, be sure to ask for Denise. She's fantastic - taking the time to explain what she's doing, making sure that she's being thorough and yet not ripping up your gums! She makes constructive suggestions about your tooth regimen without being too "dentally righteous", as some can be. I can't rave enough. All the x-ray techs I've had here are great too. Unfortunately, the other cleaning technicians are truly terrible: generally sloppy and PAINFUL. My husband had the lovely experience this winter of a teeth cleaning with a tech that was obviously ill: sniffling and sneezing all over the place. Ew. (Needless to say, that visit was cut short!) Dr. Teichman's colleague, DrHo (that is her name), is also a boon to the practice: young, bright, very down to earth, and someone who listens to her patients.

Pros: Denise is great

Cons: other cleaning techs are terrible; billing is iffy

Dr. Teichman is the best dentist in Brooklyn – bar none! After a decidedly un-gentle experience at Gentle Dental in the Slope, Dr. Teichman was recommended to me by a colleague. I could tell things would be different right from the beginning – the kind receptionist made my appointment easily – and they’re open on Saturdays! Then, when I arrived, I was greeted by comfortable, modern furniture, a large LCD television, and another kind receptionist. Best of all, unlike at most other healthcare appointments in this city, I was seen within five minutes of arrival. This high level of customer service continued throughout the cleaning. The hygienist was extremely friendly and took the time to get to know me better before starting. She was very thorough, going far above and beyond the perfunctory 10-minute scrapings I’ve received elsewhere. But she was also sensitive to my needs, stopping to make sure that I was comfortable. And at the conclusion of the cleaning, she gave me great advice on home hygiene without making me feel guilty. Finally, the terrific experience concluded with a visit from Dr. Teichman. Waiting no longer than a few minutes to see him, he went over my X-rays with me, showing me exactly how my teeth were doing on the high-tech monitor installed in the room. Just as friendly as his staff, he spent some time learning more about me, explained my options clearly, and gave me full confidence that my teeth were in good hands! All in all, I couldn’t have asked for a better trip to the dentist.

Pros: Convenient schedule, Thorough cleanings, High-tech equipment, Great bedside manner

Cons: Why can't other healthcare appointments be this good???

I was referred to Dr Teichman via a work colleague to address an unfortunate cycling accident I was the vicitim of. Lets just say my teeth 'got moved around a bit'. He took me in right away and very clearly explained the work that needed to be done. After a few crowns and veneers I was back in business. If you ask my wife, I look better now then before. Dr T. was very calm, professional and I felt very comfortable in his office. I highly recommend him.

Pros: Professional, clean office, hi tech, nice bedside manner

I'VE BEEN A PATIENT FOR OVER 5 YEARS, AND I THINK DR. TEICHMAN IS A THOROUGH AND PROFESSIONAL DENTIST. THE OFFICE IS VERY CLEAN AND STATE OF THE ART. THE STAFF IS FREINDLY AND THE APPOINTMENTS ARE CONVENIENT.SOFIA STAYS ON TOP OF THE REMINDERS. MY WIFE IS ALSO A PATIENT. I FIND THAT MY MONEY IS WELL SPENT.

Too expensive, other dentists are cheaper. I realized too late. I asked how much it would be and the final bill was much more than what the office manager quoted me.

I didn't have a good ex[perience at all. The dentist is the most expensive around which I found out too late. Sophia didn't tell me the truth about what it would cost. I will not recommend this dentist to anyone.

A highly-skilled, sensitive, and astute dentist, devoted to aesthetic outcome, with the willingness to listen as well as do what it takes to make the patient happy. The office staff is congenial and friendly. Overall, as wonderful an experience as one can have in a dental chair. ( I had a crown made for a back molar, completed beautifully and painlessly, in two visits. I am a patient afraid of dentists, so this wasn't easy for me.) All the new technology. Highly recommended!

Pros: centrally located, devoted to aesthetic appearance and patient comfort, friendly office staff, made to feel at home

Cons: none

I have been a patient of Dr Teichman for many years. I had very bad gums and it had gotten to the point where I could not eat anything solid without terrible pain. I was losing my teeth and would not smile even with pictures with my new granddaughter. I could no longer put off going to see Dr. Teichman. I went to Dr. Teichman and he sat me in the chair and told me that my teeth were beyond saving but he promised to make my smile beautiful. He explained everything he was going to do to me. He pulled the teeth I had left and talked to me and told me it was okay to cry alittle. The crying was more from losing my teeth than the minimal pain I felt. He was beside me every step of the way. I looked forward to going to his office weekly and being greeted by everyone like family. He kept telling me how beautiful my smile would be when he was done. The day he put my new dentures in my mouth I looked in the mirror and wanted to cry. He kept his promise and then some with the beautiful work he had done. I walked out into the office and everyone told me how beautiful my smile was. Everyone compliments me on my beautiful smile. I love to take pictures now and smile alot. Thank you Dr Teichman for giving me back my smile and making me feel beautiful. I will always remember how comfortable you and you staff made me feel and how you all were by my side from the start to the finish.

Pros: Great atmosphere. Dr Teichman is the most caring dentist I have ever met. His staff is wonderful.

Cons: None

From the moment you are greeted by “Queen Sophia” (God help me if I misspelled her name)…you enter an environment where the staff, like family, are warm and inviting. Dr. Teichman, “Doc”, is a true gentleman who has a weak spot for the newest trends in dental technology which translates into the best available treatment for his patients. His approach to your care is thorough and understanding and his patients are further beneficiaries of the “Docs” and his staffs unwavering goal of perfection. I truly look forward to my visits there.

Dr. Teichman has treated me for over 10 years. He is a wondeful caring dentist who always makes me feel at ease in his chair. He thoroughly explains all necessary dental proceedures and gives several options for restorative treatment. His staff is always warm and professional. I am very happy with the care I receive in his office and would highly recommend Park Slope Dentistry.

Pros: Modern equipment, warm staff

Cons: None
