SEE WHAT OUR PATIENTS HAVE TO SAY!
Jul 26, 2019
Very pleased. I hate to say that but from now on I will favor a lady dentist. Her dental hygienist is also very nice. The best cleaning I ever had. Please Note: I have changed my mind after my above review of a few months ago. I went for a deep cleaning for 4 quadrants. I did not want to have laser, but the dentist came back, and would not let go until I agreed to have laser treatment costing $200. At the time of the treatment there were pockets but not higher than 5. When I went back the dentist checked my teeth and read to her assistant that most my teeth were now "3" pocket level, but she also read "5" for 2 of my tooth lower back teeth. The doctor then casually said that the treatment was successful because most of my teeth now were "3" pocket level. Never mind my 2 back tooth? I hate to be forced to spend money when people cannot stand by their work. Also, I brought my Sonicare toothbrush back because it was defective. I was told that I would get a refund in 6 weeks, but where is the receipt that I gave the toothbrush back? When I bought the toothbrush, I was told the toothbrush could be used for 2 people as it had two heads, but that toothbrush is for one person and the second head is a spare in case the first one breaks. Not to be switched everyday for 2 people as the tool pin that holds the brush, starts getting uneven. When I ask for quotes, etc, etc. You will get half way job. I thought Dr. Rivera is good, and I still think she is, but this office is after your money and not exactly your well being, they are too inefficient to do a through job. I paid "cash" last time and the lady in the front refused to give me a receipt, just because the amount owed was listed on my bill, she said it was written in the bill and there was no point writing "paid". After my insistence, she finally wrote "paid" and initialed. She then was laughing away with the people at the from. I think this office is not doing well because of management - particularly the people who work at the front desk - including the estimator.

I arrived to Genial Dental after several years of neglect. My teeth were stained and I had a rotting crown that fell apart. The staff took complete care of all my needs. In just a short time I now have my smile back. They were very concerned with my comfort during each procedure. I would strongly recommend their office to anyone in need of work or just regular cleaning and maintenance.

Dr. Rivera and her team were awesome! They were very professional, they did great work on my teeth, and the referral process to get my wisdom teeth pulled was very quick and easy. The receptionist was extremely helpful through the referral process.

Friendly staff great service and even better prices. Maria up at the front desk makes everything that much better. She needs a raise NOW! Will definitely make this my new office for any dental work that I need.

The staff at Gentle Dental are awesome! Check in was quick, my dentist gave a thorough examination and made sure I understood the condition of my teeth by going over detailed snapshots of some trouble areas. I was very satisfied with the dental work performed and the customer friendly atmosphere.

When I first called, the message asked if I was a new patient press 2 and much to my surprise a real person answered right away. She asked a few questions and told me exactly how to contact my insurance carrier. I did what she told me and I got the insurance set up right away. I saw the dentist the next day and she was great. She spent a lot of time explaining everything. I'm very pleased to have found a new dentist that I feel comfortable with.
