David L Scheiner, DDS

I didn’t end up getting work done by this dentist. However I wanted to warn you that he will do his best to get any and every charge in he can. I saw him for a consultation and it was over three hundred dollars for 5 minutes and for him to say he couldn’t do anything. Although a dentist right above him just took x-​rays less than a hour ago he felt he needed his own which I had to pay for as well. Be warned!

new patient, staff was great and dr. scheiner was awesome. great experience. will tell all my friends and fam to go here if a root canal is needed

I went to Dr. Scheiner as a new patient, with an urgent root canal needed and had been in a lot of pain for days. His attentive office staff were able to get me in to be seen in a timely manner, and although it was pretty last minute, they also had my insurance quote and everything ready so there would be no surprises.
I have in the past, been referred to endodontists and it did not go well. It is already something painful, but Dr. Scheiner gave me a whole new outlook. He gave thee best injections I didn’t feel a thing, normally you always feel something. He was kind, and explained everything, and stopped when I said it was making me anxious. His assistant and he worked very well together and made sure I was comfortable. He was compassionate and gentle.
After the procedure I was able to go home and rest and am finally out of pain.
As far as the other review I read here, I think it may be a very one sided situation. And Unilocal hid the positive reviews by other patients. So please, check out Dr. Scheiner, DDS. He and his staff will take good care of you. I will be referring people to him for sure.

I was referred to Dr. Scheiner for a tooth that needed a root canal that Western Dental did not want to touch. I was nervous as this was my first root canal, but Dr. Scheiner not only has wonderful bedside manner but I could not feel a thing and left feeling so much better. His staff is amazing, they play great music and they go above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable and taken care of. I would highly recommend this office. I give it 5+ stars! Thanks Dr. Scheiner!

Dr. Scheiner billed over $ 1000 for a root canal/​crown in 8/​11, the tooth caused discomfort and pain for quite awhile so I was advised to see Dr. Scheiner again regarding the troublesome root canal/​crown. He looked at the x-​ray and within seconds said, «the base of the tooth is fractured and the tooth will have to come out.» then he reminded me that he does not do extractions (how convenient). When I inquired about the normal ordinary expectation for this root canal/​crown to last much longer than 1.5 yrs and that a partial refund seemed appropriate to help pay for the extraction, explaining that maybe he either he chose to do the procedure on a tooth that was not a good candidate, or there was some problem with the way the procedure was done, and only a small chance of natural causes. I mentioned my research suggested that 85/​90% of root canals are successful and that I would like at least my deductible and coinsurance ($ 145) to be refunded to help me pay for the extraction (pulling the gold crowned root canalled tooth that died in less than two years)!!! He became enraged and came around the counter as if he was going to physically confront me, screaming, «do you think I have a crystal ball!»
I explained calmly that it just didn’t seem fair for him to brush me off with no compassion or concern whatsoever, I was asking for just a fraction of what he made on the failed procedure. He raised his voice and became very hostile.
His receptionist, who is about as pleasant as a case of hemorrhoids had called the Windsor police, completely ridiculous considering Dr. Scheiner was the only one raising his voice and being physically threatening. The police noticed how he had come around the counter and got right «into my face». It was best to leave at that point (obviously), although the deputies were very pleasant and professional but they have much more important things to do which is why it was so completely ridiculous. Bottom line I’m screwed $$$$$, my root canal/​crown lasted less than two years… my adjoining teeth are in fine health and having to have this tooth pulled after the expensive procedure he performed less than two years prior is so disheartening. He was too angry and irrational to make any accommodation for me whatsoever. His attitude was clearly, «tough shit», cold as ice. Go somewhere else please. I have gotten along fine with every healthcare professional I’ve ever dealt with and I’ve never had any of them act so confrontational, rude, and unwilling to do the right thing for a customer. BEWARE: I have no faith whatsoever if a patient has a problem resulting from work this dentist has done that they will be treated reasonably, or professionally, this is based on my terrible experience in this office. Remember I had a root canal and crown that cost more than $ 1000, in less than two years this dentist casually tells me I need to have the tooth removed, he took no responsibility for the failed procedure. He became enraged when I suggested I should be compensated reasonably since the procedure failed.
I know an elderly woman that explained to me she had been treated poorly in this office, but I didn’t pay much attention to her complaints, maybe being dismissive because of her advanced age. I am sorry now that I didn’t listen to her narrative and now believe it to be true. If there is anyone else out there that had expensive procedures completed at this office that did not go well, left you in pain, or as in my experience a complete loss (tooth extraction needed now to be paid out of my pocket!!) — please take the time to share your experience. I had the foresight to record some of the Dr’s ranting on my cell phone, as I was thinking he would assault me based on his body language and actions. Just another example of the regular Joe getting the short end of the stick. My wife tells me to just forget it but I was so shocked at his behavior I’m thinking small claims court (I’m familiar with the process)…I don’t really know, just still schocked that the Dr. would act in such a way, the expensive procedure failed, I have to pay for it, and he couldn’t care less.
