Rajiv Taneja DMD, Inc.

I've been going to Dr. Taneja for more than two years and I'm really very happy with his care. He always explains what needs to be done and what he will be doing. What's also important to me is that he is always happy to answer questions -I ask a lot. Dr. Taneja's staff are friendly and they're great when I need to call and change my appointment.

I began seeing Dr. Taneja in December 2015 when I was new to the area. I first visited his office to have a chip in my front tooth bonded. During the first visit, he explained to me that I had a cavity that would need to be filled as well because depending on how long we waited, it could require a root canal. I had seen 3 different dentistry professionals in the past year, and no one had said anything like that to me, so I took his words with a grain of salt and told him I'd like to focus on having my chipped tooth fixed before anything else. When I came back to his office about a week later- for what I thought was to have my chipped tooth fixed- Dr. Taneja told me he'd like to begin with my cavity. I knew it needed to be filled, so I said that would be fine, thinking that just having that and my chipped tooth fixed all in one visit would be convenient. About 30 minutes later and what can only be described as the longest cavity filling I've ever had, he sat me up in the chair and began explaining what steps I would need to take next in order to complete my root canal. I was completely in shock! I had not agreed to a root canal in any way. And what was worse, my dental insurance didn't cover this type of procedure, so when I approached the front desk to pay for the visit, the receptionist told me I would owe about $700 just for this day. Meanwhile, I still had a chip in my front tooth- the very reason I visited him in the first place- which had he fixed would have cost me less than $100, not nearly $1000!! On top of the day's $700 fee, the receptionist informed me that root canals are typically two or three step processes and I would need to come back twice more to finish the procedure...and pay more money. I have never felt so violated and deceived. When I told these things to Dr. Taneja, he showed no sympathy or remorse for his actions or the way I felt, saying that when I "agreed to be a patient at his practice," I gave him "consent to perform any procedure he saw fit." He is rude and inconsiderate, and I highly recommend anyone considering dental care to steer far away from this predator.

Absolutely horrible...all he wants is money....dont care about his patients at all.... I don't even know how he's still in practice

Terrible. Disgusting. Should not be in practice. STEALS YOUR MONEY! makes up lies about your teeth, and make you pay for his lies!! Save your teeth and save your money!!
