Refresh Dental, Pittsburgh PA

My 12yr old son, who is on the spectrum and has very high anxiety with doctors and dentists, had his first visit today. His teeth were getting pretty bad because of sensory issues. His hygienist was AMAZING with him! He relaxed and let her do everything she needed. (That's I big deal) He was so comfortable with her, he even tried talking throughout his cleaning. She made his teeth look like new! Thank you for your patience and amazing cleaning!

The office is absolutely gorgeous, everything is brand new, the xray machines are in the room, it's a very calming environment. I saw Dr. Smiga who was kind and patient bc I am VERY scared of the dentist and my entire jaw is throbbing and I've been in agony. Unfortunately, I thought my pain was coming from a cavity but in fact all 4 of my wisdom teeth need removed as well as a bad molar. He recommended I go to his son, an oral surgeon Eric Smiga. For starters, his son did not take my insurance even though his father did so make sure you check that! Don't just make an apt! Also, most insurance companies have instituted the need for prior authorizations for any type of pain medication (thanks addicts everywhere) if you need a prior auth, this office is NOT willing to file it. So despite 5 bad teeth and the pain he agreed I was in, I cannot get my pain medication. IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE ANY NEW DR. OF ANY KIND IS WILLING TO FILE PRIOR AUTHS ON YOUR BEHALF. The staff was friendly, and once I get these awful issues resolved I would return there for a simple cleaning.

Love this dental office! The staff is always friendly and have never been behind schedule. They even took the extra time to squeeze my daughter in today after my appointment to save me a trip!

A very pleasant visit. Short waiting period. Technician was very knowledgeable and friendly. Dr. Smiga was also very knowledgeable and pleasant.

The dentist should not yell at his employees in front of a patient! To me he should be a nice to her when he is with a paint. He should have done it in his office!

He saw the nicest most caring people I have ever dealt with I have been pathologies of Dennis because I have more wrong with my mouth and you can even imagine I would never go anywhere else ever again

I have been with Dr. SMIGA approximately 30 years. The staff is super in terms of patient support. His new merger has only made a great dentist even better. I love getting a text to remind me of an upcoming appt. I am so busy and this keeps me updated on my appointments.

Dr. Smiga shouldn’t have done business with Refresh. All down hill since they merged, we will be switching dentists.
