Duca, Peter DMD

I have been using Dr, Duca for the past few years now and he has been great. Although he thinks he is a comedian and can be a little brash at times, he really is a fine dentist. He really cares and really does nice work. I think he is the most gentle dentist I have ever been to.

If you want an honest opinion with no frills, Dr. Pete is for you. My family has gone to him for over 15 years. I would take him in a heartbeat over someone who is incompetent with a friendly staff! I have had much dental work the last five years or so. Everything has gone smoothly. You will either love him or hate him. I love him. Excellent dentist.

This IS the worst dentist I have ever been to. He is everything like the last review and then some. His staff is disorganized and not very friendly. He is insulting and makes more than enough mistakes. When he sees he can’t handle something he acts like he is doing something, but doesn’t. He just complains about things and your teeth. My teeth however are very good and the only thing I have is a bridge he claims needs «ripping out». He had bonded my sons tooth over 8 times. We had to go to him because of insurance. Well I complained to the insurance company and finally they agreed to transfer to a new dentist. This guy just is terrible.

This was by far the worst dentist office I’ve ever been to. The doctor was not only rude to me but also rude to his dental hygienist. The front desk was unorganized and also very rude. I would not give this office any stars for my treatment here, if I had the option to. My first appointment with Dr. Duca was a cleaning, at this time I found him brash and very rude. He told me my front tooth was ugly and my teeth were yellow. He also mentioned that since I was a hairstylist was there any way I could get his hygienist to change her from red back to blonde because he didn’t like red heads and blondes were better looking. After my cleaning we consulted on me getting work done in a couple weeks. I checked out at the front desk and asked for an estimate for my following appointment. She quoted me and we schedule my appointment for 2 weeks later. I arrived at my appointment a couple weeks later and the doctor was being as rude as ever telling me he had to do something about my ugly tooth, he wouldn’t charge me, that it was just so bad he didn’t want me to continue on with it. When the hygienist mentioned that was rude he replied that he didn’t want to lie to me. What happened to the days when doctors had a little class and sensitivity? To continue on, after my work was completed I went to the front desk to check out. The women then told me my total was DOUBLE what she quoted me previously! When I reminded her, what she told me the estimate would be a couple weeks ago when I scheduled she said that was a quote per tooth. I told her I wanted a total estimate of the work. She replied that she didn’t know what I was getting (even though she had my chart right in front of her when she gave me my estimate) and this was the total and I had to pay in full today. I told her that maybe she should have better communication with the doctor and that I had budgeted for what she had previously quoted me. I explained to her I didn’t have the all money and If she would bill me for the remainder I would gladly pay it next week. She said they did not bill, that I had to pay the full today, no exceptions. Never once did she apologize for giving me an incorrect estimate. I stood there upset and embarrassed as I scrambled for the total amount without ever receiving remorse or an apology. I recommend no one go there and be treated the way I was.
