This is the worst dentist office I've ever been to. I called and informed them that I would be…read morelate. They told me I had 15 minutes. I got there at 9:13 Dr came out, never introduced herself and just said to me all I can do is the x-ray and evaluate you you gonna have to come back but you don't say hi you don't say good morning you don't say nothing I politely got up, took my paper off the clipboard and walk out music to loud and he was rude and obnoxious if it to him to be a black dentist mail at that I would never recommend this office to anyone even if you have an a dire emergency if you had to take your pet, I wouldn't recommend him to do you at all and I wouldn't give him a less than a Star

They said they would look to make sure and that I was good to go. 10 months later, I receive a bill for services and at this point, I don't even have the same insurance any more. 10 MONTHS after I paid the copay, this was sent. Either this place is adding on fraudulent charges or the office staff is so incompetent to check the insurance that it took 10 months to bring these charges up which after checking, the insurance should have covered.

The office manager was extremely rude in response and completely unprofessional. I really absolutely would not recommend or return.

I went from a person terrified but desperately wanting and needing dental care to a person that nearly fell asleep during a filling. The level of care and compassion shown in this practice is beyond words. The front desk staff is incredibly friendly, and everything is always very clean. They are always upfront with plan of care as well as out of pocket cost. Looking forward to upcoming appointments so that I can have my confidence back when I smile.

Went in for a cleaning. They suggested X-rays. The X-rays were not covered by my insurance because…read moreI had them done a few months earlier with the oral surgeon they had recommended. I was refused a refund for the X-rays. I told the office that I wouldn't be coming back. And then I was offered a refund that would be held and applied to my next visit. They were basically holding my refund hostage in exchange for keeping me as a patient. I again said that I wouldn't be coming back and they kept my refund. Bottom line. They don't care about you as a person or patient. They want to keep you coming back so they can continue to bill you. Even when what they do isn't covered by your insurance.

Best dentist ever!! He has been my dentist for the last 7+ years. Appointments are easy to get and…read morehe genuinely cares for his patients. He works with most insurances and will work with you if he is out of network. I like the fact that he does teeth cleaning himself instead of passing it off to a hygienist. The best part of Dr Gardner is that he will not recommend unnecessary procedures or visits. He is conservative with his treatment options and is not focused on maximizing visits and his bill. I totally trust Dr Gardner with my teeth and have recommended him to multiple family and friends.

Having hated going to the dentist my whole life, and this being my first dentist since moving to…read morePhiladelphia, I was a little wary about my appointment with Dr. Gardner. Immediately, he put me at ease when he personally met me at the front door, and I recognized his personable demeanor. His office is cozy, with a single room for him to work in, but he has all the technology you'll need for your appointments right there. He is extremely easy to talk to, makes you feel comfortable and at home the minute you walk in the door, and he did a wonderful job of teaching me as he was going. I've never had a simple cleaning where my dentist took the time to pull out pictures and teach me about the importance of dental hygiene as Dr. Gardner did. I was extremely pleased with my time here and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist in the Philadelphia area!

Three Years of Billing Disputes, Broken Promises, and Dismissive Care…read more After three years as patients and over $10,000 paid to this practice, I feel a responsibility to share our experience so others can make an informed decision. Billing inconsistency: On multiple occasions, we were quoted one price and charged significantly more. When we raised these discrepancies, we were told the staff member who gave the original quote no longer worked there. This happened repeatedly. The front desk has extremely high turnover, and when there is a problem, there is nobody left who can be held accountable. No warranty on completed work: Dr. Solanki performed an implant on my wife that developed issues. When we returned to have it corrected, we were charged additional fees. Most dental practices stand behind their work within a reasonable timeframe -- this one does not. We've had work done by other dentists in Philadelphia and never encountered this problem. Dismissive bedside manner, particularly toward women: My wife's concerns were consistently minimized or dismissed by Dr. Solanki. I had to accompany her to appointments specifically to validate what she was experiencing before it would be taken seriously. This happened more than once, and the pattern was clear. Bottom line: The office presents well and has positive reviews, but our sustained experience over three years tells a different story. If you're considering this practice, get everything -- every quote, every commitment -- in writing before proceeding, and understand that if something goes wrong with your care, you may be on your own. There are many excellent dental practices in Philadelphia. Based on our experience, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
