Park Slope Dentistry: Ronald Teichman DDS

At my first visit, the problem was fully discussed, alternatives put forward and finally a plan was set. At the time, I was in my early 80's. After the work was done, everyone agreed I now had "the teeth of a 50 year old". Now , years later, I still do.
The comfortable office setting, a pleasant well trained staff and state of the art equipment was and is still reassuring and relieves the anxiety raised by "a visit to the dentist:.

Pros: Great staff, comfortable setting
Cons: None

My mum was visiting from the UK and had an emergency. Her tooth fell out on a saturday morning and after trying a number of dental offices, Dr Teichmann was able to fit her in between patients. He did the job very speedily and effectively and was amazingly inexpensive.

I have been going to Dr. Teichman for more than 10 years, a bit after I moved to the neighborhood. I first came because a previous (Manhattan) dentist closed up a root canal while there was clearly still a problem. Dr. Teichman worked diligently to get it fixed and me pain free. While going to the dentist is never a fun time, this is as close to a perfect dental experience as one could have. No, he is not cheap, but I'm not sure any dentist is these days, especially one that is so great. Dr. Teichman is patient and meticulous.

Denise is as fabulous as mentioned in the other posts-she is the only hygienist I've used there. And Dr.Ho is also really wonderful-careful and conscientious. Very clean offices, state of the art equipment.

Its a wonderful and well run office-there are only pros, no cons!

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 theyre 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 Ive 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 couldnt 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???
