Monica Dargan, DMD

Dr. Dargan is extremely rude, and yelled at her tech during my appointment. She did a root canal for me multiple years ago and I am still dealing with her incompetent work. I mentioned in a follow up that I thought the root canal was infected because it hurt and was hot to the touch and she told me 'probably not'. A year after the root canal I had another checkup and she told me that the infection had spread to my jaw. I said I had told her that I thought it was infected at the last visit and she yelled at me and terminated me as a patient. Another doctor said that the infection had reduced the bone density in my jaw and that if it had spread any further it would have infected my heart. It turns out she didn't clear out all of the infected root tissue in the original root canal. I've been dealing with the impact of that infection and her botched root canal for multiple years and have had to see 5 other various dental specialists to try to fix it and it's still a problem.

Dr. Dargan is always friendly and professional. Each visit is consistent. The hygienists are awesome! Shout out to Dena and Autumn! We have been going to Dr. Dargan all of the 6 years that we have lived in Pittsburgh. We highly recommend her and Chestnut Hills Dentistry.

Following a very bad experience at another dentist’s office, I came to Dr. Dargan per recommendation of a coworker. I loved everyone at Chestnut Hills. They are professional, friendly, prompt, and listened to my concerns. Unlike other dentists, I didn’t feel like they were trying to push expensive procedures that might not be necessary. In fact, one concern I had based on my last dentist turned out NOT to be an urgent matter— this after that dental office had called me on more than one occasion to “get this scheduled.” I truly felt like they were looking out for my well-being and best interests and NOT trying to make as much money as possible. I also love that everyone I dealt with was a woman, and the office is very diverse. Highly recommend.
