Doctor Tache fixed my debilitating neck pain by making me a mouth piece( I spent 2 years bouncing from doctors and neurologists with multiple nerve blocks and medication with little to no relief) that corrected my TMJ issues. He also helped diagnose my 9 year old with sleep apnea. Everyone in his office is so nice and easy to work with.

I saw Dr, Tache. He came into the room with a cotton homemade mask the mask didn't fit right. He kept fidgeting with that mask. I told him he needed to have a mask that fit right. I am very high risk, my husband is also very high risk of Coronavirus. We have been isolating. His nose / mouth was only covered when he held the mask in place. He said they were making too big of a deal of the masks. He did get another mask. Certainly made from the same pattern. Elastic straps too long.
I asked him about my mouth piece. I said it needed to be adjusted. He said something about Dr McDonald patients wanting to have their mouth pieces adjusted all the time. That it wasn't necessarily. His nose was out of the mask. I later told my dentist of the experience. She said that was totally unacceptable. He should be wearing an E85 mask. My mouthpiece is very off kilter. Causes jaw pain.

I came to Dr. Tache for a new splint after being told by the office where I had my last two splints prescribed that they no longer do that. At my first appointment with Dr. Tache, I told the woman taking my information (who also happens to be his wife), that our health insurance was through my husband's work, but that I was also waiting for my Medicare card to come in the mail. She said fine, she'll take that information at the next appointment. The next appointment was x-rays, so I didn't speak with her then. However, I then received a call from their billing office with whom I explained that my husband's health insurance would be primary but I also had my Medicare card. I then said that we would continue to have work health insurance to Dec. 1, so hoped that I could receive my splint by then.
She said, yes, you'll have to have a followup appointment after you receive your splint, but everything should be done by Dec. 1. She also confirmed that everything would be taken care of by Network Health but that I would owe my deductible first. So, today I show up for my third appointment. I tell Kathy Tache that I have now received my Medicare card and ask her if she would like to take a copy. She says, no. After I was in the consult with her husband over the results of my x-rays for about 20 minutes, he leaves the examination room and is gone about 3 minutes. Then he comes back in and tells me he can't keep me as his patient because I have Medicare and they don't take Medicare. Kathy then steps in and says Medicare would force them to take Medicare as primary and it would be denied.
Now, even if that is true, we still have our work health insurance which WOULD cover it. So, I don't know what they're talking about - I'm not sure they even know what they're talking about. I can understand if I had never said anything about having Medicare and this was the first time they were hearing about it. But they had ample opportunity to give me this information from the very first appointment. No one ever said, whoa - we can't take you even if you have health insurance because you are enrolled in Medicare. We are actually paying double premiums to Network and Medicare because I need this splint and at the time I signed up for Medicare I thought I'd be able to choose an effective date, which I was not, so it took effect in September. I've wasted two hours of my life I'll never get back, am at least $290 poorer, and still don't have my splint!

Calling him a Dr is a stretch! Even the bottom of the class gets this designation and that's him…. bottom of the barrel. He is extremely rude and verbally abusive to his patients, his employees and his Wife. I can’t believe he’s still able to see patients. He doesn’t make the splints in house, they are outsourced and of poor quality.
Do your homework as the splint he is pushing on you may not be the splint you need, if you even need one…the wrong type of bite splint can do harm and even more damage to an already damaged TMJ joint. He will push all his other “specialties” on you too, beware he’s just in this for the money as is the outfit he works for…look them up too…the DOJ charged and fined them $1,000,000 for falsely billing Medicare and TRICARE for Surgical made splints but buying cheaper outsourced ones of lower quality. They didn’t admit fault but took the fine…. Can you trust a business that just pays their way out of these kinds of cases?
