I chose this place after my employer cut back to a cheap dental insurance. These folks over-diagnosed from the start. Part of me thought it was just that my teeth were deteriorating due to aging, but I was also just too lazy to go find a new dentist. After I finally did, I found out just how much Gentle Dental screwed me. I've been kicking myself ever since. Don't make the same mistake. This...

While the dentists are qualified, this company has a poor history of delayed appointments, extensive waits for service when you arrive timely and horrific tactics to up sell unnecessary work. Fortunately my dental health is good and I have been able to repeatedly decline the deep root cleaning they always try to sell. I have been able to get a reasonable level of service from another network...

I was a customer there until I went in for some work and had to take a few minutes to decide how I wanted to proceed. One of the assistants was obviously upset that I was taking to long deciding if and how I was going to proceed and stormed out of the room and back to her front office/desk. I could hear her complaining very badly to my dentist and others the whole way back. I got up and went...

The dentist was nice and explained my teeth were in great shape, very professional. Then they sent in the closer with the the short skirt and pushy personality. She told me how bad my teeth were and how much treatment I needed. I felt like I was at a used car lot being hustled. I was up sold on an extra fancy cleaning that I didn't really want but agreed to so when I returned for my cleaning I...

Does not deserve ANY star!! Criminals. They overcharged me by $1,200. I was shocked. I agreed to treatment per my insurance terms, they performed it, and then overcharged me by an extra $1,200. Keep in mind that was IN ADDITION to the hundreds I had ALREADY PAID for the procedure. Their billing department is HORRENDOUS. DO NOT GO HERE YOU WILL BE RIPPED OFF.

Zero Stars I was a patient of Gentle Dental when Dr. Amero was still there and he was great! He was kind, treated patients like friends, and explained procedures well. Around the time that he left, I lost my insurance. Once I got it back again, I decided to go back to Gentle Dental since I had such a good experience before. Now, they are terrible. I was told that I needed my wisdom teeth pulled and that I...

BBB rating of "F" Overcharging and not providing accurate notice of billing is the problem. I am currently fighting this battle. I have documentation of payment agreements and can itemize everything but cannot get them to explain to me where extra charges came from. They are rated "F" by the Better Business Bureau for a reason. This is the rating based on BBB: Company Rating F Our opinion of what this rating...
