Thanks for working Trevor in. Somehow there was a mix-up on his appointment date but we really appreciate you getting him in since he already scheduled the days off work and appreciate you letting me come back to hear what was going to be done and wait while he went to sleep. Great experience. more

Recap: 3/18/11, 8:15 appt. Seen 40 minutes late. Impacted wisdom teeth removed. Paid the copay of $315 that they said was due. Office staff was not overly friendly, did not seem patient with kid nervousness, but nursing staff wasn’t rude, just not patient friendly. 3/22 Called regarding lingering concerns from the surgery. Hoped for an appt, but was told to wait a couple of more weeks ---- I received paper statement from Dr Trakas showing balance due and that it was billed to insurance 3/28 Insurance notified me via EOB that they paid Dr Trakas 4/7 Called Dr Trakas’ office, asked them to mail me a current statement since insurance had paid them since our visit and statement of 3/18. Was told it would be mailed soon. 4/14 Did not receive the statement so I called back. Was told that statements would be mailed on their normal cycle the following week. 4/26 Still did not receive a statement. I went to Dr Trakas office in person and asked for a statement. Was told by Sadie she could not provide this to me. Was told that a statement and a refund of $40 was mailed to me (she confirmed my address) on 3/28, the same day insurance paid. She was going to need to follow up with Dr Trakas before she could print me a statement of our account. Says he does all the billing himself and writes checks out of his account for refunds. Someone will call me by the end of the day on 4/28 to explain. Dr Trakas was not in the office and as Sadie told me, “he is very difficult to reach if he is not in the office.” I stated how frustrated I was over this whole process and that I was going to notify insurance of my problems with their customer care and service. She said they would not care as it does not involve them. more

The office failed to contact my dentist's office in St. Louis where I had just had x-rays taken a month prior, I had to pay 80 dollars for an x-ray at their office because of a mistake their receptionists made. I even offered to call my dentist myself to get the x-rays sent over and they assured me that they had it under control. After all of that got settled, I was in the chair getting ready for the surgery, I told the nurse how nervous I was. She ignored me and just placed a nitrous mask over my face without asking if I even wanted one. It started to kick in and I took the mask off because I felt very strange. The nurse looked at me like I was crazy for not wanting nitrous. Dr. Trakas walked in and didn't even look at me or introduce himself. All he said was ""Looks like you have some wisdom teeth and we're going to pull them."" I asked if I really needed all 4 pulled, considering one tooth had grown in all the way and hadn't given me any problems. All he said was ""Yeah."" As soon as he said that, I was injected with anesthesia and put to sleep. He perscribed me Hydrocodone and Penicillin, when I specifically told him my mom was VERY allergic to Penicillin, so I might be, also. I was still under sedation when I received the Penicillin. My boyfriend administered it to me, not knowing that I could be allergic. I ended up having an allergic reaction to the medicine. I also read on the bottle that Penicillin lowers the effectivness of birth control. Dr. Trakas ignored the fact that I could be allergic (and was) to Penicillin and completely failed to tell me that I should take extra precautions with my birth control. I was paying for the surgery out of pocket. I originally was quoted $875 but my credit card was charged $1,200. The whole experience was just very uncomfortable. The office is pretty incompetant. I understand that the surgery I got was very common and he does it numerous times every day, but as an oral surgeon, he needs to take care of his patients. Pros: Very pretty office Cons: Incompetant staff and oral surgeon more
