  I love the staff here! Not only do they go out of their way to make me comfortable, they even call me the next day to make sure I'm ok. I feel like everyone is my friend and they all seem to genuinely care and love their jobs. I will never go anywhere else and if anyone is scared to go to the dentist I highly recommend going here. They are so kind and patient, and they also do amazing work!

  RIP OFF ALERT. TOTAL SCAM!!!! I got a postcard in the mail offering cleaning and exam for like $65. What a deal I thought and was very excited, thinking they are going to be awesome! I saw their reviews and saw that they give goody bags to their new patients. Boy was I wrong. I never got a goody bag and they totally ripped me off!! I usually get my cleanings every 6 months but the blonde-text-book-reading-hygienist was stabbing me in my gums, causing them to bleed. I said OUCH too many times while she rehearsed aloud what periodontal disease was. Uhh, I work in a dental office, I know what it means and I get my usual cleanings so I know I do not have it. So needless to say, the free cleaning offer did not apply anymore. The dr comes in for a quick second and looks at the x-ray of a tooth I was worried about. He says right away that it needs a root canal, even though the symptoms I was having were NOT of a root canal procedure! They had my treatment plan ALL wrong! He said I need a deep cleaning, root canal, and two fillings. Still charged me for the exam so I asked for my x-rays via email. The girl at the front desk was trying to tell me that she couldn't do that. I had to tell her that I also work at a dentist office and use the same program, YES YOU CAN SEND ME MY XRAYS VIA EMAIL. So I took what they gave me and I went to Crown Dental for a second opinion and they said that the tooth doesn't need a root canal, only a filling. When I showed them the x-rays that Apollonia took, they said they could not even diagnose a root canal with that x-ray since it didn't even show the whole tooth! IT WAS CUT OFF. So they took new ones for me and were really nice about it. Crown Dental explained to me that the symptoms I was having was due to the fact that the root of my tooth was very close to my nasal cavities. I basically had ALLERGIES, NOT IN NEED OF A ROOT CANAL. Btw, I got my regular cleaning done at my usual dentist and both he and Crown dental agreed that I did not have periodontal disease!!! When I got my cleaning done, they found more cavities than just 2 that Dr. Marvizi found. My treatment should have been 6 fillings and 2 crowns. They could have had my business and my money but they were WAY OFF!!! WASTE OF $65 I HAVE EVER SPENT FOR "PROFESSIONAL" SERVICES. ALSO, Apollonia's fees are RIDICULOUSLY HIGHER than normal and DEFINITELY NOT WORTH PAYING FOR PROCEDURES YOU DO NOT NEED!!! Bottom line is- I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DENTIST TO ANYONE!!!STAY AWAY FROM HERE! If you are looking for a reliable and professional dentist in this area, try Crown Dental on White lane and Ashe or Gosford Village Orthodontics Group instead!!! They both are very friendly, welcoming, and actually CARE about your oral hygiene. DO NOT COME HERE FOR ANY OPINIONS, THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!!
