The dentist is awesome as long as you don't lose your insurance and can't pay for an appointment out of pocket or pay for the oral surgeon they send you to because they won't pull a tooth. Lost my insurance last April. Five days ago I woke up grinding the crap out of my tooth. Couple days later, ran the marathon on Sunday by the end of it my tooth hurt so effing bad I was crying. Couldn't sleep couldn't recover from running 26.2 miles, in so much pain. Up all night called at 7:30am to see if they could see me. Susan the office manager proceeded to be mad at me for not cancelling an appointment last April 2019 and that I owe $100!! I'm crying in pain and that's what she says. Okay cool. She says that was the tooth you were suppose to take care of last year and then proceeds to give me a lecture. Haven't slept can't eat and just finished running a marathon... no sympathy. She was rude. I asked if I could be seen today I'll pay any balance and she said well since we don't know what tooth it is... I said you just lectured me about not fixing it last year.. oh okay can you come in in 20 mins. I did. She was rude when I got there. Caught her and the Dentist talking about me while I was around the corner. He wouldn't give me any pain meds. Said it will only mask the pain... pretty sure he was trying to teach me a lesson..?! Finally ended up at the ER til 1:30am. Went to another dentist when they opened at 9am that gave me pain meds and I slept 13 hours last night. Hopefully the new dentist can pull it on Friday. I definitely hope you choose another dentist or just make sure you are not human and don't make a mistake by missing an appointment or losing your insurance or anything else us humans do cause we are not perfect. I am not perfect. Only God is and I truly needed help and didn't get it here. Won't ever go back. read more

James S. Trichak, DDS - Couldn't open my mouth to eat.. - General Dentistry Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

See all

I haven't been to the dentist in a very long time...and by a long time I mean 20+ years! I finally sucked it up and made an appointment hoping for the best but expecting the worst. The staff was very helpful and made it painless. Dr. Trichak walked me through everything and answered all my questions. I'll be going back every 6 months now for regular cleanings. read more

I have had several dentist in my lifetime but none as incredible as this guy! Professional,honest,reliable efficient, friendly, i could go on forever. Not a gold digger at all like i have seen in the past. His philosophy is if it aint broke dont fix it! And when it is broke its fixed right the first time. The staff are excellent and very efficient. I cannot compliment them enought, read more

The best dentist I've had. Makes you feel like a person. Treats you as an equal. Doesn't talk to you like you are less than. Doesn't leave you feeling ashamed. Also the staff is great!! I don't come in worrying if I'll be in pain. I wish I could take this dentist and staff everywhere I'll be going forward. Only downfall is that there isn't more than one office. read more

This dentist is by far the best I've ever been to. Doesn't make you feel guilty over anything and is very knowledgable. My husband and I both go to this office and wouldn't recommend any one else. They even called to wish me a happy birthday. Very personable, never felt pain while going here, awesome work done, and they don't offer you unnecessary procedures. They do their best to save you money. read more

We have been going to Dr. Trichak since he started practice (25+ years ago). Our "kids", now as working adults have continued on with him as their dentist, as we continue to do. Not only the best dentist that we have been to, but a kind, caring compassionate professional with a great supportive and professional staff! read more

Wow! This place is amazing! We've been to numerous dentists as we moved from Mi to Az and all I can say is that he is by far the most sincere, welcoming and personal dentist! They are very helpful from informing you and helping you budget with insurance, etc. We are so grateful for such a wonderful place! read more

Staff wonderful and dr T very thorough and seemed accommodating to my situation. Thank you Supercalafragalisticespealidoshus read more

I loved the attention, service, staff, the atmosphere in the whole clinic made you feel at ease, as for Dr. Trichak his attention to detail explanation of what is going to happen was Fantastic, I left knowing that I did choose a Great Dentist, and again his staff was Amazing. read more

My husband has been going to Dr. Trichak's office since he was a kid. He suggested I go there after not seeing a dentist in 5 years. My last experience was horrible and I never wanted to see a dentist again! However, I gave it a try and now go every 6 months! Dr. Trichak and his staff are awesome. They make you feel comfortable and ease your anxiety. The office is also easily accessible from the I-17 and I would highly recommend this place to everyone!! read more

My dentist of 25 years finally retired. I was devastated because I HATE dentists and never thought I would find one that I like again. I LOVE THIS DENTIST and his office staff. Everyone is extremely kind, thoughtful, helpful, professional and the care you receive is incredible. I find so many dentists these days are pushing services on you that you don't need or insurance won't cover. Not here.....In fact, Dr. Trichak won't recommend anything until you actually need it. Your exam is comprehensive, thorough, and pain-free! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that I found a dentist to replace my dentist I thought could never be replaced. AND, I found Dr. Trichak, here on Yelp! Thanks everyone for your reviews and hope this will help others needing a new dentist! read more

yes. he likes to talk about foods that cause cavities. (tangerines and tangelos, for example.) over and over again. which is annoying, but also kind of funny. he won't ever make you feel like a jerk because you haven't been to the dentist in a while. and he won't make you yank out your wisdom teeth just because everyone else in their 20s has them out. although, do note that he doesn't offer friday or late afternoon (after 4 p.m.) appointments, which isn't the most convenient. the office staff is also excellent. read more

Great dentist. Very nice. Explains everything. Does not jump to drill and fill every dark spot he sees just in case it might be a cavity. Actually takes the time to look and make sure you actually need it. read more

Dr. Trichak and his staff have made going to the dentist something I actually enjoy. His approach is refreshing because I don't feel like I am being sold some new found dental technique or process to increase revenue on every visit. My previous dentist made me feel like I was walking into an auto shop and being sold services I didn't know even existed. I had a serious health issue earlier in my life and needed restorative work done but didn't want to spend 40K on my teeth. Dr. Trichak did a thorough exam, offered multiple treatment plans with varying costs and the honest plus/minus for each one. I was able to make an informed decision and completed all the work in a timely fashion while working with me to maximize my insurance benefits. I couldn't be happier read more

Wow! If you want a very comprehensive, yet easily understood examination of your teeth along with a easy to follow plan to correct any issues, Dr. Trichak and his team should be your first call. From the minute I contacted this dentist throughout all my visits to date, these folks have been extremely kind, gentle and HELPFUL! Honestly, if you are considering finding a kind and professional dentist you will do yourself a favor by contacting Dr. Trichak. I'm so glad I did. Thank you, Ann D. read more

Best Dentist EVER!!! I have been going to Jim for the last 20 years and I would never go to anyone else!!! He is very factual and won't try to sell you something you don't need. Super super guy and the office staff is excellent too!!! I recommend anyone and everyone who needs a good dentist! read more

Dr. Trichak, or if you want to be less formal, Jim, is awesome! I've had such a nightmare with finding proper dental care in Phoenix until I found his office, and now I actually enjoy going to the dentist! From the front desk to the dentist and his hygienists, they are all very professional, friendly and helpful. As you are getting a cleaning or any other procedure, they try to elaborate on what they are doing and why they are doing it so you get a better understanding of your dental health. Rather than trying to sell you whitening kits or orthodontic treatments, Dr. Trichak is very conservative and doesn't focus on the money he can get from his patients. In fact, he and his staff are extremely complementary and don't make you feel terribly guilty for getting a cavity or not flossing. The office and exam rooms are clean and airy as well. I have recommended coworkers, friends and family and they all agree that this place is the best! read more

Newly moved to AZ, and needed to find a dentist for my family. Dr. Trichak came highly recommended here, and other sites. Usually I'm skeptical about reviews, but I have been wow'ed by this staff, and the non-nonsense approach of this terrific dentist! I have interacted with most of the staff now, and each and every interaction has been over the top fantastic. Prices were almost half of what I was quoted by other dentists, too. What are you waiting for?! read more

I have been going to see Jim Trichak for many years and my family goes there as well. I do not have any work done because my teeth are pretty good, I only go for cleanings. I have enjoyed every experience I have had there with Jim but on the other hand the staff is HORRIBLE! They are rude, unpleasant to talk to, and not helpful! I do not recommend going here because of them!!! I missed ONE appointment and they charged me $50 and I have NEVER missed an appointment, EVER. I spoke to Susan the Office Manger and explained my situation, she was rude to me, she was NOT helpful, not understanding during this hard time and not willing to work with me. I asked to talk to Jim about the situation she said she would get back to me, when she did she left a voicemail, never said thank you or anything pleasant on the voicemail when she called me back (just hung up at the end). Jim has done a fantastic job with analyzing my teeth and taking care of me. He is definitely recommended but should consider getting a new staff! read more
