Was referred to Dr G by Dr Benson after his treatment proved to be inadequate. At my first visit,…read moreDr G yelled at me for about five minutes in the presence of his Office Manager and a Dental Hygienist regarding my bite pattern and that he knew everything about me from Dr Benson's referral. I was not impressed but due to the fact that I was unaware of any other periodontists in this area, I allowed him to begin treatment for replacement of my current prosthesis. He quoted a price of $20k for a zirconium hybrid device - 50% higher than any other dental professional in Vero Beach. Again, I felt that I was very limited in my options. After he had examined my current prosthesis, I requested a treatment plan for the process. His staff seemed surprised by this request. In fact the Office Manager (Jubee sp?) asked me what were the contents of such a document. I think a respectable dental office should be well aware of the contents of a treatment plan...and the reasonableness of such request. During this time, my fiancé learned she had the Bracha gene, congenitally. Her sister had died of Leukemia, three years previously. This trauma had a lasting effect on Wanda. She had moved from her home in Boone, NC to take care of her sister, and was present at her death. In April, 2018, my fiancé had a double mastectomy. As one might imagine, the out-of-pocket costs were enormous. Her insurance did not begin to cover them, so I elected to cover them...more than $30K. I'm retired, with a modest pension plus Social Security. Thus, we found ourselves in a financial situation. Dr. G informed me that we could work out a payment plan, for which I was appreciative. At this time, my fiancé underwent restorative surgery. Again, insurance paid a small portion of the costs. I contacted the office to schedule an appointment. At the same time I asked if the Treatment Plan I had requested months earlier was ready for my perusal? No answer was When I arrived, and was sitting in the chair, the Office Manager asked me about my ability to finance the new hybrid - which embarrassed and humiliated me. Why would office staff question my ability to pay? Especially since Dr G and I had already reached an agreement! After two visits, there was no Treatment Plan, nor was there a temporary hybrid for me to try. At least, none was presented to me to determine fit. At this time I had paid Dr Gurklis &14,000. At the very least, I had the right to expect a detailed Treatment Plan and a test hybrid to gauge fit. Due to the fact that every time I visited Dr Gurklis' office I was questioned by either the Office Mgr or a Dental Assistant about my financial situation, it was apparent that my payments were more important to his office than the progress toward my hybrid. After weeks of this treatment, I informed his staff that I would no longer continue treatment. I cannot believe this conduct would be approved by the Florida Dental Association. As such, I cannot in good faith recommend this practice.

BEWARE USING THIS DENTIST WITH INSURANCE…read more I used this dentistry recently to have a new crown procedure. Christie's gave me the quote for my co-pay using my dental insurance, which I paid immediately. Shortly after the procedure, the insurance claim was denied due to Christie's mistake using a wrong claim code. Even worse, they waited over 180 days to file an claim appeal, and of course any appeal over 180 days is automatically denied. However, it even gets worse. Christie's then billed me 2x the contracted insurance rate for the procedure, which, by the way, is entirely their mistake. I'm fairly certain this is illegal as a provider is only allowed to charge the contracted rate.

I'm new to Vero Beach and spent months trying to find a dental office that accepted my insurance…read more My first stop was a well‑known local practice. After a long visit -- multiple X‑rays and over two hours in the chair -- I was told I had periodontal disease. This was alarming, especially because I've always kept up with cleanings every six months, and my previous dentist of many years had never seen any signs of gum disease. Before I could even process the diagnosis, I was passed between several coordinators trying to schedule periodontal scaling and root planing with an out‑of‑pocket cost of over $500. I asked my former dentist to call them for a peer‑to‑peer discussion, but they refused. Shortly after, I received a letter stating they could no longer see me as a patient because I "did not trust their judgment." Being told I had a serious condition -- and then being dismissed when I asked reasonable questions -- was a major red flag. Once you're labeled a periodontal patient, you can't return to regular cleanings, so it's not a diagnosis to take lightly. Thankfully, I found Harbor Point Dental Care. My experience here was the complete opposite. Their exam was straightforward, honest, and thorough -- and I was told I do not have periodontal disease. The cleaning was excellent, the office is spotless with modern equipment, and every staff member I interacted with was kind, ethical, and professional. I won't name the first office, but I will say this: always advocate for yourself. If something feels off, get a second opinion. I'm grateful I did. Harbor Point Dental Care has earned my trust, and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking quality, ethical dental care in Vero Beach.
