Dishonest Dentist. Gave me a quote for 4 fillings and 1 cracked tooth for $850 including my insurance. Got a second opinion from another Dentist referred by my insurance company and found out that I only needed 2 fillings and with my insurance would only cost $100. If you have had work done by this office or are currently a patient, I strongly suggest switching dental offices or getting a second opinion.
I visited Dr. Tyler Lasseign last year hoping to get help with some TMJ problems that cause severe pain and difficulty eating. He did not perform a dental exam, or even look inside my mouth, but instead talked to me for a few minutes and then told me to have an MRI done. He gave me a written order for the MRI. When I checking out I was shocked that I had to pay $140, and was told they will not file a claim with my insurance company, (which on the phone prior to visit I was led to believe they would.) And yet, on my discharge sheet the doctor's notes claimed that he had performed a "Dental Consult." If he actually had performed a DENTAL consult, then he should have filed that with my insurance company, so that my insurance company would accept it. I have spoken to them (including Dr Lasseign) on the phone multiple times since then, and have been told each time that they do file insurance claims for their patients. And yet they did not do so for me. Furthermore, my insurance company would not approve an MRI because their office refused to provide a "code" which is required by my insurance before they approve an MRI. The Dr. ordered an MRI, yet refused to obtain approval from my insurance company. So basically I visited Dr Lassaign, paid $140, and received no benefit whatsoever from that visit. I have asked for a refund (at least minus what I should have paid as a co-pay.) Dr. Lasseign even phoned me and talked to me at length saying he "cannot" refund any amount. His reasoning was that for "ONLY" $140 I received a "diagnosis!" However, I was diagnosed with TMJ disorder more than 30 years ago! I did NOT go to him for a "diagnosis." Furthermore, on my discharge paper, there was no mention of TMJ. It claimed I had seen him for a "dental consult." I do believe that with a "dental consult" a doctor should at LEAST look inside your mouth! I would not recommend this doctor to anyone.
