My daughter had a gum treatment that was done incorrectly by Dr. Rebecca Mostatab. Dr was fired after treatment was done. I am still waiting for my refund back and I had paid almost $5,500. I have a video on how bad the gums looked after the treatment was completed. read more

Sorry to say my opinion has changed over time. Loved my dentist, Dr. Kakaar, when I first came (~7 years ago). Seems like none of the actual dental staff are the same now. Very little time now with the actual dentist and it's often somebody new. Always trying to upsell you on something your insurance doesn't cover (e.g., oral cancer screenings, even though you've never been a smoker and had a clear test last year). Also, two or three times now when I have had billable things not covered by insurance, there's been a positive balance in my account. In other words, they overcharged me for something previously and just decided to hang onto the money rather than inform me, because I'd have asked them to write me a check. read more

AVOID THIS PLACE! Never have the same dentist for more than a few months. One dentist i had for almost a year took out all my old fillings to milk my insurance. After he left i asked someone there about why he was redoing fillings on a timed basis so insurance would pay and i was told he does that all the time because he only likes his work. OMG REALLY. Did anyone ever hear of INSURANCE FRAUD! Turnover there is outrageous. Basically scared me into getting gum surgery that was really not needed and they farmed that work out too and stood behind the agressive sales suregon. I went to another dentist and was told they were way too agressive. Now its over 7 years after they said my teeth would fall out and id be in severe pain without their surgery and my gums are fine. I was basically LIED TO! AVOID THIS PLACE! read more

This place is a nightmare. I chose this place because I recently moved to the area and read great reviews.( I'm sure they are all paid for.) The women at the front desk are awesome. They deserve a better place. All of them. The woman who originally cleaned my teeth was atrocious. My teeth never hurt so much while getting a cleaning! She took X-rays and forgot to put the X-ray machine in front my my face. It was in the corner. She actually said "why isn't the X-ray coming up on the screen?" to which I replied "the X-ray machine is in the corner." She laughed at this and I shook my head. The dentist did a check up and continued to tell me how I need to start brushing and flossing. During the one and only procedure, a crown procedure, he kept telling me to open my mouth wider, however that is not possible because my jaw isn't that big. My last dentist not only understood this but allowed my jaw breaks in between working. In more than a few moments, he yanked on my jaw to open it wider. The experience was scary and awful. They don't allow you to catch a break or vacuum the water out of your mouth so at times I felt I was drowning. He even mentioned "I know we're torturing you." in a joking matter. I told them to stop and wiped tears out my eyes. I said that I felt like I was drowning (I did) and he turned it around to say that this procedure is the kind that always "messes up the women's makeup." He completely disregarded the pain. I've had a crown fitted before and it was NOT difficult and I was taken care of and made to feel safe. After the experience and the novicane wore off I had FOUR days of slight migraines and it was painful to eat. This lasted four days and then it was okay however difficult to eat. As I write this review I am in my crown fitting appointment. The temporary crown needs to come out so they can put in the real one. Their assistant tried to yank it out of my mouth. It felt like she was pulling out a tooth. After pulling and yanking assuring me that "...it's going to be a little painful." I asked her to stop. The pain was too much. The temporary crown is still in my mouth. I have had a crown before and pulling it out was effortless. I have honestly never felt so scared and unsure about being in the dentists chair. Perhaps you will have a different experience but I would not recommend this place. Unless you like pain. Overall, I would not recommend this practice to someone I loved...or even liked... Good luck. read more

Had been with this practice for quite a few years. They have gone down hill in that time. Constantly losing dentists. Screwed up my implant. Difficult to get records and after many years of being a patient, front office staff was rude. When you have a conversation with anyone in the phone it is proper to say goodbye, not just slam the phone down because you're annoyed that I'm not returning. Have found a fantastic dentist in the area. My advise...don't do it! read more

I ended up leaving this practice because they quoted me on a lot of dental work that I had felt was unnecessary. I switched practices shortly after and never needed that said dental work. I have since moved to another city, switched practices and over three years later, still have not had any other dentist or hygienist mention dental work. All the dentists and dental hygienists were very nice, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being taken advantage of. Just be careful. read more

I am new to using this group so I am giving it 4 out of 5 stars. To date I am very pleased with the level of care and concern I have received. Dr Sinha is a very good dentist. Finding a good dental group that accepts my insurance , United Concordia, is NOT easy. I am thrilled that Abington Dental Excellence does and performs very well. read more

Abington Dental Excellence is by far the best dental practice I have ever seen! The office is always very clean and all the staff is very friendly. over the last 3 years, I have seen 2 hygenists and while I usually see Dr. Kakkar, he was not there for my last appt. I am not sure which dentist I saw but he was very nice and professional. Dr. Kakkar is a wonderful dentist and a nice guy as well. I have a very bad gag reflex and usually struggle with the x-rays. They are so good I have barely gagged at all since I have been under their care. Shannon and Hina are by far the best hygenists I have had. Hina has been lucky enough to do my x-rays the last 2 years but she somehow did the x-rays without me gagging once both years!!! Hina and Shannon are incredibly nice and sensitive to my gag reflex; other hygenists have been frustrated with me in the past but they are patient and they could not do a better job!! you will not be disappointed with the care at Abington Dental Excellence. read more

I would not recommend this dental office. It is anything but excellent. In 2017 Dr. Cerian did a crown. The Novocaine shots kept hitting nerves so bad I, who am a very calm and patient person, wanted to punch the doctor; and he saw my fist and said if I did it would hurt more. I made certain to ask for a different dentist next time, thinking it was only this person. In 2018 Dr. Sinha did a filling. Again, the Novocaine shots were extra ordinarily painful hitting nerves. They said it was the location of the cavity. Yet for real, all these years at other dentist, I have never experienced this kind of pain. Also, they only removed part of the silver on the side of the filling and replaced it with the white filling. Why since they numbed the area, couldn't they remove the entire silver filling and refill it I just don't know. Wasn't consulted about it. I returned today just for a cleaning. Sharon does a good job cleaning. Also, because they refused to give me my balance credit, I had to keep going back to use up the balance. Beware read more

A friend of mine was just complaining about how his dentist pulled one of his teeth but forgot to put a bone graft in prior to getting an implant. Now he has to spend more time in the chair, with more expense and more discomfort. I told him about Abington Dental Excellence, where I just had a cracked tooth removed, had a post put in, then a bone graft around it, and then had a temporary tooth installed until my 'implant tooth' is ready. It was absolutely painless, and get this - I was only in the chair for about an hour. Try to beat that. Go ahead. I won't go anywhere else. read more

Maybe I'm used to high standards from my previous experience in a major center city office, but when I went for routine cleaning, hygienist did some cleaning with the ultrasonic pick following with remainder of cleaning manually scraping tartar. After leaving, teeth don't feel any cleaner than before came in. Doctor didn't review X-rays to check for possible cavities just a quick visual scan from over 1.5 ft away. Will never be going there again. read more

2 of My kids had an appointment to get fillings done, well the dentist decided to do other work on my son without even consulting me!! When I heard that I had to pay $320, I asked why? I was given wrong prices for each filling plus what they did to my son. I would not recommend them for nothing. At the end it felt like the office manager I will assume she was the office manager was negotiating the prices of the fillings when I was told a specific amount for each filling before I went to the appointment . She kept saying that they read the wrong code for my insurance! I will never go back to them. read more

This practice should be called Abington Slightly Below Average Dentistry. The dentists and the hygienist are friendly and professional enough, but the administrative staff seem to be the family and friends of the dentists and run a haphazard organization. I've been rescheduled on multiple occasions and this morning showed up to find only a secretary there despite having to confirm my appointment via a text they sent me. Given that scheduling snafus have happened multiple times I'm going to find a new dentist. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice (or four times...) shame on me. read more

PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS PLACE!!! They are all completely incompetent. This office is a complete rip off and a fraud. (My insurance company is actually in the middle of filing 2 complaints with this office for insurance fraud). 1. I paid for the upgraded crown to be completely white, which they forced me into basically. Come to find out they didn't give me the upgraded one I paid for. They gave me the free one with silver underneath that my insurance would of covered completely with no out of pocket expense to me. The only reason I found this out is because the silver is now starting to show underneath my gum line. I will be contacting my lawyer also about this. 2. I got a filling last week which they did not let me chose whether it be silver or porcelain, they just automatically used porcelain which my insurance did not cover. They tell me after the fact when they are billing me. So I called my insurance to explain, then the dental receptionist gets on the phone with them and basically tells them that I am lying to get out of paying the copay. Luckily I have proof that they did not give me a choice of which filling to use because the waiver sheet is not signed. The receptionist tried to force me to sign it after the fact which i told my ins comp so that will be the second complaint filed. They also try to make buy extra services at the end of your visit that you must pay out of pocket for that no insurance will cover. They try to scare u into thinking your teeth are in bad shape in order for you to buy their services and products. BEWARE of these crooks. I have no clue how they have good reviews, it must be their family members!!!!!! read more

They are a ripoff. I had an appointment scheduled without my consent for a filing on a tooth that has no issues. That after I complained about the tooth that I had a canal done there. They also got me an app for cleaning saying that I had two available on my insurance, however they never disclosed the insurance require six months apart. They tried to charge me for the cleaning at the front desk without providing the service. When I refused to abide their rip-off situation they tried to charge me $50 for cancellation. I can't believe they dared to do that. I have no trust on them st all, and also no respect for them taking advantage of their patients the way they tried to. read more

Love love love Abington dental excellences they are wonderful! I had a root canal done last week. While getting this done I was in no pain at all. The dentist informed me that my canal was very very very small took a little more time. But he did a wonderful job. When I was told this in the chair getting the work done I was thinking my recovery would be painful, but it was not at all. I was able to work the next day. I had no jaw swelling at all. I mean this place does really good work. I got fitted for my back tooth crown today and they placed the temporary crown on today as well. The dentist is very friendly and explains everything to you very well. And the dental assistant was very nice and informative as well. They make you feel very comfortable. The front desk receptionists are sweet. And they give accurate price no surprises at the end I love this place read more

I had a good experience when I went for my first appointment, but when I called to schedule my next 6 month checkup I was told that they do not accept my insurance on weekends. I live out of town, but am in Abington one weekend a month so I thought I would stick with them. I understand my insurance doesn't reimburse as high as others, but if you accept my insurance you can't tell me you only take it on certain days. This put a bad taste in my mouth, so I won't be going back. read more

Great dentists, hygienists, and front-desk staff. Never have to wait for more than 10 minutes in the waiting room. Appointments are confirmed via email and after each visit, you get an email asking about your recent procedure. They are up-to-date on all things dental. Have been offered Invisalign, but they're not offended when I say no. They understand that some things can be expensive, which isn't their fault, and are very accommodating. My husband and I are both happy with the services that we get and highly recommend this dental practice. read more

Best dentist and hygienist EVER!!!!! I am so happy I found this dental office! I had to have a lot of work done and I've had nothing but the BEST experience!!! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Cherian for a few years now and I absolutely love this office. Today was my first time with Ina, and she was gentle yet thorough. My whole family goes here and as long as they keep up the great work we won't be going anywhere else. read more

I rarely, if ever give 5 stars. But Sharon, the dental hygienist was very good. She explained everything that she was doing. I was shocked. Normally when you go to the dentist, you silently lay in a chair with your mouth awkwardly opened while a total stranger is drilling on your teeth but Sharon makes you feel comfortable and gives brushing tips. I came on here to see if anyone mentioned her and yup, she was mentioned a couple of times. read more

Easy to get an appointment...called about 2 weeks ahead of time and got a middle morning appointment. The hygienist did a great job on my teeth and the doctor did his usually meet and greet at the end. One downside, but understandable given how popular this practice is, is the slight challenge in getting 8am or weekend appointments. However, if you can plan in advance, that isn't a problem. The location is very convenient and each chair has a TV...though placement isn't ideal to watch while getting your teeth cleaned. read more

Just had a visit for my routine dental exam, cleaning and x-rays. Dr. Pankaj and hygentist Sharon were very professional yet friendly. Sharon took her time to clean and polish. My teeth felt great after she finished. Both Dr. Pankaj and Sharon examined my teeth and gums thoroughly and found everything to be satisfactory. The office is both clean and comfortable. Good experience! read more

Their dental service is good and they do root canal work on site. Teeth cleaning is okay and I have not had a problem with any cleaning from multiple oral hygienists. The issue is their billing. They will bill you for services that were not rendered and they will tell you the service is covered and then bill you for it when they have double billed the insurance company. These people are crooks and I highly advise going elsewhere. read more

I hate the dentist! I really hate the dentist! Sharon is the best dental hygienist as she is patient with me and makes me feel comfortable. Dr. Dhingra takes time to explain things and I think he genuinely likes people. My kids like him too. I think there is a new support staff here now who seem much friendlier than their predecessors. read more

Since I have gone there all they are interested in is dollars. I have a tooth that needs to be extracted because of infection and they had me sign up for a implant. I told them I have a autoimmune disorder and I would have to check with my doctor before I consent. When I called them back to tell them my doctor would rather have me have a bridge instead of a implant because of my medical condition, they insisted to have it in writing. When I called my insurance company, they told me do not go back. First of all it is none of there business if I decide not to have this type of surgery, and if my doctor advises against it they have no right to insist on a letter. The office staff is rude. You can not insist on someone having a medical procedure when they choose not to or it is against medical advice. They lack everything from basic concern about a persons medical condition to the fact if they cannot make money off of you they are not interested. DO NOT GO THERE. BESIDES THE INSUREANCE COMPANY TELLING ME THAT I AM REPORTING THEM TO SEVERAL OTHER AGENCYS. I HAVE BEEN IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION FOR 30 YEARS. read more

I have never had a cavity in my life. I went there for a cleaning & they tell me I have multiple cavities. I was quoted a certain price for cavities to be filled. A week later AFTER the work was done, they tried to double the price. I asked the woman at the front desk why the cost would double...she got an attitude and had the office manager "explain it to me." I was told maybe my insurance changed. No- I've had this insurance for a while and it didn't change in a one week time span. I told them I was only paying what I was quoted and they could figure out the rest on their end. I work in a doctors office myself and I know how things should work. They are running a shady business. One of my cavities wasn't filled properly and it hurts when I chew on that side, so I'll have to get that fixed, but I'm going elsewhere. After the fact im starting to doubt I had as many as they claimed. I never had any issues with pain, sensitivity, etc...after going to Abington Dental Excellence I have all of the above! The only good part was my the dental hygienist who cleaned my teeth- she was so so nice read more
