Let me start by saying that Dr. Reingold was highly recommended by a couple of my friends. They are still happy with him and so I am sure there is something to be said for his dental expertise. Unfortunately, my experience was the polar opposite.
This man was so completely rude and disrespectful to me in every way it would take me paragraphs and paragraphs to tell the whole story. In short: He left me hanging for days with a large cavity without explaining my need for certain prerequisite treatments. He questioned my desire to know how much the procedures he was recommending would cost and almost insulted me for being concerned about insurance ""this is not an insurance office and we are proud of that"". He also blamed me for his lack of being able to complete procedures in a certain amount of time, even though I was being 100% cooperative. He completely over-estimated my sensitivity, injecting me with so much novacaine that it made me dizzy and nauseous. And he refused to treat me for after I showed the slightest bit of concern that I was busy and would need to find a way to make time to come to all of the appointments that would soon pile up on my calendar. Excuse me, I'm a mom with a hectic job, is that really something that he doesn't see everyday?
If you have perfect teeth or are just looking for cosmetic dentistry and have a very open schedule (ie trust fund baby with no job), its possible that you may have a good experience. But if you need any kind of procedure, have a complicated medical or dental history or actually want to be treated by a descent respectful person, this is not the dentist for you. Even the way he treats his staff is reprehensible.
