She sent me to have three teeth removed. While I was waiting for those sites to heal I lost the tip of another. I went in to have the tip repaired and she also did purely cosmetic fillings on the outside surface with the warning it might not last. She was right. It didn't. I paid over $800 for a gloss that fell out after two weeks. It's been a year now and the tip repair has fallen out, too. I had a partial plate with six teeth built for almost $2K. I can't wear it. It gives me a speech impediment. She said, "Oh, just read the newpaper outloud." There is so much plastic I can't find my alveolar ridge to form an l, n, d, or t. There is even plastic on the back surface of the upper front teeth, that I can't form an Italian l either. I'm a voice professional and must be able to perform in Italian, French, and English as well as demonstrate to my students. The only positives about the office are the delightful woman in the front office and the very healthy croton that gets morning sunshine through the window. Avoid at all costs.

The staff were genuine, attentive, and professional -- you can feel when a clinic truly values patients, and this one does. My first visit was excellent. The care team listened, took their time, and never made me feel rushed. The atmosphere was modern, clean, and relaxed. Staff encouraged and reinforced positive habits rather than shaming anyone for what they "should" be doing -- a huge difference compared to other places. The first set of x-rays was essentially free (saving me hundreds), which stunned me. Both the dentist and hygienist were thorough, careful, and patient. This is how dentistry should feel: professional, compassionate, and centered on care -- not billing. I highly recommend Gorges Dentistry to anyone in Ithaca looking for quality dental care.

Im not the only person that reports unnecessary treatment. I highly recommend Gorges - very modern, professional and first x-rays are free! This place isn't a dental clinic -- it's a financial model with chairs. Ithaca, you should know better. First red flag? I asked about a chipped tooth, and instead of addressing it, the hygienist told me to "check with the front desk because they were short-staffed." (?!) That's not passing the buck -- that's trying to collect another one. The hygienist reminded me more than once about being short-staffed and made my gums sound like a crime scene. Evidently I'm the only one not getting an "A" for flossing. The dentist didn't touch a single instrument -- just had me open and close my jaw and called it an exam. Must have been using x-ray vision. On top of that, they overlooked a cavity previously noted in my chart. When I asked if the doctor would examine it, I was told -- not kidding -- "no, the doctor is done and gone." My cleaning wasn't even finished, and guess what? I still got the bill. And here's the kicker -- an elderly woman named Jean, clearly hard of hearing, almost had her appointment canceled because she didn't respond fast enough in the waiting room. I had to step in so she wouldn't be turned away. That told me everything: this office runs on throughput and billing, not care. I had a wonderful relationship with my prior practice in Austin for 10 years and never once experienced anything this careless. I cannot be the only one noticing this. Ithaca deserves a whole lot better.

However, the number of times the billing has been screwed up or claims were not submitted is hard to count.

Once, she cancelled my daughters appointment instead of mine after I left detailed instructions on who's appointment was being cancelled. Another time, I asked her if she would be willing to submit paperwork to my insurer so they could become an in-network provider for us and she declined stating that they wouldn't make as much money that way and if they did it for us, they'd have to do it for everyone. Pretty stunning. Excellent dentists. Horrible front of house staff. I'll be leaving the practice and if I can find another good dentist my family will be switching too. What a shame.

Unfortunately, with Integrative Oral Health, you have to apply through Medicare to recoup the money you pay for the visit. Unfortunately, Excelles won't reimburse the full amount. The dentist's receptionist will apply for the reimbursement on your behalf. We also apply ourselves because the forms didn't get through the system a few times. I have tried the other dentists listed by Excelles, and I was NOT happy with their service. One tried to pull out my bridge and said I needed a deep cleaning, which wasn't true. The other dentist called me the day before my appointment (that took months to get) and cancelled on me, saying the hygienist wouldn't be in that day!!! I was not very happy! I felt like I was on an assembly line with these dentists. I would definitely recommend Integrative Oral Health because they don't jerk you around, but treat you with respect.
