Tingey E MacKay, DDS, MSD

I like Dr. Tingey. He’s very nice and very professional. The PCC who took my case — I forgot her name– allowed me to pay $ 150 a month. I didn’t pay for 7 mos because I was so busy and couldn’t even go to my appointments. Guess what? She is very patient, didn’t call me to tell me of my late payments, never harassed me, no additional charge for late payments… Nothing!!! She’s the best!!! She just emailed me to remind me of my no show– just one email!
When I came back… I brought the money to pay for 7 months (cash) plus the remaining balance which I post dated for 2 payments. This front desk said «ohhh… Idk how she’s (PCC) gonna accept this!!»
In my head I was like… Who wouldn’t want payments? It’s money. I’m paying…
This front desk is kinda bitchy to me that day and because I respect the PCCs treatment towards my 7 mos no show no payment + Dr. Tingey’s very nice, I really would have yelled that morning and made a scene. Seriously she shouldn’t be front desk. She should remain at the back behind the utility area.
I’m sure she knows me when she reads this because I was the only one prolly who paid for 7 mos and post dated checks that day.
Overall– except that front desk— Tingey Orthodontics is highly recommended.

I really like Dr Tingey. I think he’s a straightforward competent orthodontist that cares a great deal for his patients. My daughter really likes him and he makes going there fun for her. She’s not in braces yet but Dr. Tingey has spent a good 2 years doing prep work and I can see a dramatic difference already. The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is because I’ve had a couple of run ins with his office staff. I think they are very busy and have A LOT of patients and his staff appear to be busy and stressed out at times. One of the main girls in particular can be VERY snippy and I let Dr. Tingey know about it. Going to the orthodontist is a long term relationship so it’s imprortant you are treated well. I think overall this office does a good job and Dr. Tingey is a great guy!
