Beware!!!
In order to cut down on our expenses of our fixed income we decided to leave our dentist in River Forest who was out of network according to the Blue Cross Blue Shield Dental Insurance . We looked on BCBSIL's website for dental providers in our plan and this office was one of the offices in network. So my husband had some work done this year in the Taglia office. Some of the work was done by Taglia Jr and some was done by the other Louis Taglia, SR. I am enclosing the list of providers per BCBSIL's website and the claims for both of us during 2018 in which I downloaded today. Suzanne, the billing administrator, quoted Harry the cost of the different services and he paid for them at the time of service. A little while later, we received a bill for uncovered services of which I paid. At that time I did not question the charges and just paid the extra charges. When it came time for me to have my teeth cleaned, I, too, came in to the office. Like Harry, Suzanne quoted me the cost of the services for replacing fillings of which I paid. The cost she quoted me was an in network cost. Then a few weeks later I received a bill. I was puzzled by the bill so I called Suzanne and she sent me the EOB from Blue Cross. Then I called Blue Cross questioning the uncovered charges and a representative told me that the dentist was out of network hence the reason for the extra charge.

I was perplexed and upset by this news. I diligently went on the website to check out providers to minimize the cost of dental work. This office should not be listed there if no dentist there offers services at in-network prices. I did talk to Blue Cross last week and they told me I had no recourse because the services were given by Louis Taglia Jr and not Louis Taglia. This information is very misleading and I would say deceptive. Someone in the office should have told me that one dentist (Louis Taglia, Sr) who no longer practices is in network and the other dentist who has the same name is out of network. I would not have gone to this office had I known. I really liked my former dentist and only left because he was out of network.

So my advice to anyone looking for a dentist: check out diligently whether or not they are in network in your insurance plan.

I've been going to this dentist all my life and they have been nothing but caring and helpful to me. I will always stick by their side when I truly had an emergency and Dr. Taglia Jr came into the office with his daughters to take care of me. i'll never forget how much he cared and helped me. The staff is sweet and always tries to make sure I understand what's going on. Also the new front waiting area is so cozy and there's refreshments!! So awesome when you get out of the chair and need some water, or are waiting and want a cup of coffee. I highly recommend these guys and ignore those old outdated reviews!!!!!

Dr. Taglia has the worse attitude of any "professional" person that I've ever encountered. During the time I was there, his mother worked the front desk and they constantly bickered back and forth. While treating me he would complain about how worthless she was and that he wished she's quit. He was also going through a divorce at this time. This dentist obvious has some serious relationship issues and I would NEVER recommend him to anyone. Dr. Taglia Sr. is very upbeat and is totally opposite from Taglia Jr. What a nasty disposition he holds? As for billing, after each service is provided you are carted off to the back office to talk to an airhead about your bill and when you will pay it off. Nevermind that you're in pain from your procedure, it's all about the Benjamins for them. They literally harass you to pay the bill off at the time of service. They also are offended if you ask for an estimate prior to receiving service.

Dr. Taglia Jr. is a terrible dentist. I went there for 1 thing, but he continued to press me to get other things done. He did not address what I came there for, which were implants. Thank God I did not get implants. I allowed him to do some work on a tooth that never bothered me because he kept saying that there was something going on. He said that it "may" have a cavity, although the X rays did not show one. He advertises himself as dental implant specialists. My tooth never hurt me. The work was so bad, I may have to get this tooth pulled. It hurts frequently throughout the day and night. Now, I have to go and see another doctor. Dr. Taglia's attitude is quite negative as well. I would not advise anyone to go here except my worse enemy.
