Trambas Constantine, DDS

UPDATE:
I was contacted personally by Dr. Trambas, who was very kind and apologetic. He even offered to help work with me on my lack of insurance. I do believe he cares and that I just had an unfortunate situation.
ORIGINAL POST:
I never got to see the dentist. They called and rescheduled me 3 times over July and August until my dental insurance ran out.

The troubling thing is whenever you go for just clean up, he would always find something terribly wrong with your teeth and would tell you to come for multiple check ups, repairs etc!

Clean, efficient office and old-​school skill. Dr. Trambas has a friendly positive attitude and all-​around good humor. His assistant is fairly taciturn but you get the sense that she’s more skilled and experienced than a lot of hygienists. I don’t like a chatty hygienist anyway!

In all the years I’ve been seeing dentists (since I’ve sprouted teeth) I’ve never had a more aggressive, painful cleaning. I didn’t have cavities or even especially dirty teeth as I’d had a cleaning less than 6 months before seeing him. Imagine 200+ lbs of grown man baring down on you with much force whilst going at your teeth and gums with humming, pointy instruments. When I spit into the sink after the cleaning, I was genuinely alarmed at the amount of blood I saw coating the sides and bottom of the sink: This is not usual or okay.
Let me stress that I have absolutely ZERO aversion to the dentist. I was raised by a nurse practitioner who taught me to not be afraid of pain or doctors. So I have a very high pain threshold… and this hurt like hell.
On my second and last visit (he repaired a cracked filling) I overheard him interacting with the patient next to me, belittling her, speaking to her like she was a child and just being downright rude because she couldn’t afford to see a dentist for several years. Speaking of the cracked filling… yeah…NOT a good experience. As he was injecting my left jaw muscle with a huge needle (which I could hear SCRAPING along the bone) I was saying, «Dr. I’m feeling some anxiety…» He didn’t even acknowledge me.
In short, RUN DON’T WALK away from here. I suggest going directly across the street to Dr. Sfikas and his amazing staff. The best of the best. To drive my point home, I’ve never experienced a dentist who truly lived up to Steve Martins character in «Little Shop of Horrors»…You’ll be a dentist
You have a talent for causing things pain

I had a great experience with Dr. Trambas. The reception area is in need of a total overhaul (I wasn’t impressed with the fold-​away chairs) but the actual patient rooms were new, bright and very clean. The hygenist wore a mask and had a VERY heavy accent so I understood a total of 3 words from her. When Dr. Trambas came in he took the time to sit with me answer all my questions and create a plan of care that we both agreed on. He even showed me graphics while doing so (which helps those visual learners like me). No 5 stars cause of the location, I had to park 3 blocks away, the waiting area is lacking, and the receptionist seemed more occupied with her cell phone than anything else.

I have to agree with Ebru Y. I went to this dentist to get my teeth cleaned because of the location and he excepts my insurance. The waiting room is a little awkward since it is shared with other doctors. The receptionist and the lady who took the X-​rays was very nice. The dentist was not very friendly. I get talkative when I get nervous and since it had been 14 years since I had been to a dentist, I was nervous. He barely spoke to me. He cleaned my teeth and was helpful in telling me how I didn’t develop one of my wisdom teeth and that I still was cavity free and had a baby tooth. Also, I asked if they had any coloring books for the children I work with and they said they would call me when they got the things together. I never heard anything, but you better believe I will when my next check up is due.

I went to this dentist’s office for a check-​up exam as well as cleaning. The office itself is shared by 3 doctors, including this one. The place feels kind of creepy for some reason, but I was happy with the speed of the service. I went in during my lunch break, which is an hour, I was in and out less than an hour! I even had the chance to go get something to eat afterwards :) The dentist is alright, he wasn’t too talkative and was a little on the cold side, but he did his job, so I give him credit for that. The hygienist was nice, she took the x-​rays and beared with me when I almost cried biting those films, that hurts!
