Relatively cheap, competitive pricing. --- Things that I noticed and appreciated: * You can choose the minimum monthly payment; mine was set at $187 * They offer whitening gels for Invisalign patients if you want to maintain a white smile * Gresham office has a coffee table if you're waiting in their lobby :D and the owners' dog is super cute- * The woman with brown hair at the front desk most days, I don't know her name, but she is friendly :) * As someone with autism, I appreciate their candidness when explaining the process and details -- they don't add extra fluff or are overly friendly if they can tell you're not talkative ‍ And shout out to Dr. Lindsey but she is good at her job; it can be hectic and stressful to work in healthcare, but she does everything and still maintains at least a neutral/mostly positive attitude regardless. --- I started my treatment in 2021 but as of October 2024, I had my attachments taken off. Even though I didn't get to complete my treatment, I had a great experience. Actually, through unfortunate circumstances, I became homeless a couple of months after starting Invisalign. I was couch-hopping, getting my possessions stolen, struggling to graduate high school, and working random gigs just to survive. With the monthly payments on top of all of that, I came into the ortho office with a sense of shame and guilt -- but the staff are pretty understanding and never made me feel bad, even if I had to restart and get a new box of aligners multiple times

His kind and professional manner are superb and during the initial evaluation, I could tell his approach was exactly what we wanted and needed. Nothing invasive or crazy. Just great care with a skilled staff. Also, as a mom who sent two kids into the hands of Dr. Godzyk and his staff, I very much appreciate that the team speaks directly to the kids under their care. I liked that a lot because it showed me that they really do care for them. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Godzyk and feel lucky to have him be recommended to me so I want to pay it forward and do the same here.

Boring things and Yelp ratings are usually inversely correlated. However, that's not the case with…read moredental office visits. I want my visits to the dental office to be boring, as well as the invoices from said visits. Dr. Bianco's practice at Dental Health Associates was recommended by someone who knew him as an acquaintance and had a good opinion of him. I have been to Dental Health Associates's office at least 10 times on a semiannual basis and I like being able to count on the same routine - a cleaning by the hygienist, an examination by the dentist, and x-rays every other time. Each experience has put me at ease because everyone is friendly and informal in an unscripted way. The hygienists have always honored my request for the dental scaler that operates under water pressure and then finished up and touched up with the manual instruments in addition to flossing and polishing. This feels way better to me. (I actually look forward to going to my appointments because hygienists clean your teeth in a way that the patient can't on their own.) The doctor has a lot of experience, is very easy to talk to, and, echoing what others have said, is conservative in his approach. The front office staff is quick to answer your questions and to process things. Also, the office has a pleasant physical environment - from the dental stations themselves to the waiting room. Located on S.E. 122nd Ave. south of the big Midland library and near all the auto dealerships on "Ron Tonkin Blvd.," dental practices being located here (and quite a few are) makes sense because it makes them accessible from Portland, east Portland, and East County ... and from up at the river (the Columbia River) down to North Clackamas County. There is an amply sized parking lot behind the office as well. I don't give health practitioners 5 stars (as good as it gets) because there are too many variables as well as procedures you may not have required or experienced and can't vouch for. So, for health practitioners, I view it as a maximum of 4 out of 4 stars situation and, in Yelp parlance, that means I'm a fan. Of the various driveways next to one story dental office buildings on S.E. 122nd Ave., I have found that the driveway at Dr. Bianco's Dental Health Associates has proven to be a good driveway to turn into for my dental needs.

Where do I start?…read more When I called to schedule my initial appointment, Colette rushed me so much, it made my anxiety spike. I had to ask her to repeat herself multiple times because she was speaking so rapidly. At my first visit, everyone was kind and friendly. Dr. Hart was warm and down-to-earth. Once we delved into my oral health, I asked if she reviewed my previous records (which I had to request myself). "Yeah," dismissively. She then went into how she doesn't review previous records unless the patient has dental implants or something requiring maintenance, because she "meets you where you are." I've never experienced this at any dental/medical office before. After mentioning I had been to a specialist who recommended an extensive course of treatment, she jumped in and said, "Well, I can do that!" I was skeptical, as she isn't a specialist, but agreed since it was supposedly going to cost much less than the specialist's quote. Next, she started upselling me on a $100 "saliva analysis"...a cash-grab that turns out, won't in any way change your treatment plan. Mid-visit, I was basically held hostage in the exam room chair until signing the financial forms. They were all smiles while handing me the pen. During the next visit, when I asked how long my face would be numb, Dr. Hart replied, "EVERYONE asks that..." She then proceeded to say, "About three hours." My face was numb for six hours. At my third visit, I was injected by the dental assistant, on the wrong side of my mouth (oopsie!). Next, Dr. Hart was about to start working on the wrong side of my mouth. After I pointed out that I was numbed on the wrong side, and that Dr. Hart already worked on that said, neither the assistant, nor Dr. Hart apologized or took any accountability. Dr. Hart blamed the formatting on her screen, stating it displays the patient's mouth in reverse (and this isn't worth correcting?). I left with my entire mouth numb for six hours. At my final appointment, I had an equally abysmal experience. I was told by the receptionist that my visit would be 100% covered by insurance. Lo and behold, the hygienist, Aliesha, said I needed another multi-appointment scaling/deep cleaning which, you guessed it, isn't covered by insurance. When I replied I just wanted a basic cleaning, Aliesha left me in the exam chair for 20+ minutes. Upon return, she appeared frazzled, looked at her watch, and told me she could do "debridement." She rushed through the cleaning and scraped so hard I had to ask her to stop twice. My eyes were tearing. At the end, she told me she wouldn't polish my teeth for lack of time. A month later, I received an Explanation of Benefits from my insurance reflecting charges in the amount of several hundred dollars. I reached out to Russell Modern Dentistry via email for an explanation. No response. I sent follow-up email a week later. No response. It's now been 16 days and still no response. I've never been concerned my dental office would do more harm than good. Save yourself the heartache and go somewhere else. Anywhere else.

I needed a new dentist and wanted a cleaning, so I chose this one. My first appointment included a…read morecomplete set of x-rays and a thorough exam. But most of the time was spent walking me through the $13,000 worth of dental care they claimed I needed, with the x-rays used as 'evidence". They recommended a 3-session "Deep Cleaning" that costs over $3,000, and five crowns. I have no insurance, so when I asked which crown was most urgent, the response was that all were equally urgent. Though merely "preventative." I requested a regular cleaning instead of the "Deep Cleaning" and they REFUSED to give me one. After previously telling me that would be part of this first visit. I've always had regular dental care from qualified professionals who always assured me that care options were my choice. And they all had the philosophy, "If it's stable, don't mess with it." It's very interesting that my previous dentist saw me 6 months ago and mentioned NONE of these problems. This leads me to the" conclusion that Gentle Dental is just trying to make a lot of money by urging unneeded treatments. My son looked them up on a consumer watchdog website and the vast majority of the comments said that very thing. Our bad for investing $100 in their "smile plan" up front. But I guess that's a small price to pay to find out that we need a different dentist. Gentle Dental, you're fired!
