Dan Beroukhim DDS

Dr Dan is probably my favorite dentist I’ve ever had. He’s friendly, quick/efficient, clear, and transparent. Highly recommend.

If you want a dentist that has minimal attention to detail for their patients’ identity security, then this is the dentist for you!

Full disclosure: I never write reviews, it’s a pain to do so and I feel that it’s generally not worth my time. But this was perhaps the most unprofessional interaction I’ve ever had with a healthcare provider that I feel obligated to share so that future patients can better analyze the risks they are taking.

After making my appointment, I receive a phone call from a number I do not know, and was not expecting to receive. Without introducing themselves, the receptionist asks for me to verify my insurance prior to the appointment. After giving it to her multiple times and her saying that my insurance member ID number was incorrect, she asked me for my SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER as an alternative form of verification! This is a blatant disregard for patients’ identity security and increases the risk of identity fraud.

I immediately cancelled the appointment and will not be seeing this dentist. As a first time patient, if my dentist cannot be bothered to train staff on patient confidentiality, privacy and security, then it makes me nervous letting him (i) have access to my medical history where it could be breached or (ii) drill into my teeth, perform oral surgery, etc. knowing that his attention to detail is severely lacking in the most basic forms.

I strongly urge all first time (and current) patients to reconsider seeing this dentist. Medical history and patient privacy and security is not a priority for this practice and you are increasing your risk of having your data breached and your identity stolen if you continue to go to this practice.
