This is the worst dentist in the entire world! The only reason I went here from the beginning is because I was new to the area and was just looking for a dentist that was close to my job. It all started with a simple cavity. Instead of giving me the different options with potential outcomes, Dr. Stein went right into drilling my tooth down until it looked like a tea cup. I know because he even showed me the tooth before filling it which was kind of disturbing in itself to see 2/3rds of your tooth gone. Once they did a half-ass job filling it, I left the office only to return about a week or so later with half my real tooth chipped off the side! When I went back they told me they could not refill again but cap it. The catch was that my insurance company would not cover the second procedure on the same tooth. That was the first out-of-pocket expense they hit me with. The nightmare continued after they did the next procedure to actually cap it. Seemed like everything would be fine except the cap kept falling off. After the 3rd time I asked for my dental records and never went back. In order to fix the mess that Dr. Stein & his office made, I got a great referral for my company CEO to go to Dr. Orlow (also in Stamford). A root canal, crown-lengthening and new cap later my tooth is fixed. Insurance would not cover any of those procedures b/c I already used the coverage I had on the faulty job Dr. Stein did, so my out of pocket expenses were almost $3K (which Dr. Orlow & team were happy to work out a payment plan with me - I love them!!) Please, if at all possible, avoid Stein Dental Group like the plague! They are bad news!
