I did not want to give it 1 star because of the 2 receptionist. I did not want 2 bad apples to affect the Dental practice. The issue with this business is the 2 female receptionist at the front. I have never been treated so poorly and the women are nasty and have a bad attitude. They are borderline rude and I do not know how they have not been replaced. If you can get past the this you're going to be fine. It's just unfortunate that these are the 2 people that are representing the office right when you walk in I've been going to the dentist for decades and I have never ever experienced this poor Customer Service.

Went here on June 15th to have an abscessed tooth looked at. Never been here before, but was…read morelooking for a good dentist in the area. Office staff is friendly and dentist seemed nice. After taking X-rays, they told me I did have an abscessed tooth. This is something I pretty much had diagnosed already. I was looking for treatment! They told me all they could do is prescribe some antibiotics and refer me out. I was surprised to learn they didn't do simple work such as replacing a crown or a root canal. Every dental practice I ever went to, this type of dental care was their bread and butter. If I had known they did not do this in-house, I would have never gone here. Why, because I now am at the mercy their referral. A dental practice I did not choose. I was referred out to Synergy Endodontics. I had to wait 3 weeks to get an appointment with them. I visited them on July 5th. Again, I had more X-rays. Again I was told it was an abscessed tooth. The dentist told me he would have to study my X-rays further to explore treatment options. He told me he would let me know these options in a day or two. The date is now July 30th and I have had no follow-up from either Mountainside Dental or Synergy Endodontics. My abscessed tooth continues to give me pain and headaches. I foolishly wasted precious time thinking that either one of the so called "dental care" professionals would followup. Now I have to start from scratch with even worse pain. Of course both businesses wasted no time billing my insurance. If they would spend the same energy on patient care, I would be posting a more positive review; which are the reviews I prefer writing. In the world of dental care, there are plenty of options. Highly recommend you explore other options than either one of these practices. Bottom line: Avoid!!!

Dear Dr. Cartter, I am writing to express my deep…read morefrustration and disappointment with the dental implant work performed at your clinic, which in my opinion has been both unreasonably expensive and grossly unreliable. In total, I paid approximately $50,000 for a full-lower dental implants under the assumption that I was receiving high-quality, long-lasting treatment backed by professional integrity and care. However, less that three years after the procedure, the implants have failed not once, but twice. This is completely unacceptable for a procedure of this magnitude and cost. Each time the implants have broken, I have been left not only dealing with the physical pain and inconvenience, but also with an emotional and financial burden that should never have been necessary - especially after paying a premium price for what was supposed to be permanent, top-tier dental work. To make matters worse, when I sought accountablity and assistance from your office regarding these failures, you and your staff have refused to stand by your work. I find this deeply unethical and disappointing. Patients who invest their trust - and signifacant financial resources - in your care deserve better. Frankly, I feel taken advantage of and cheated. I am requesting a full explanation of what went wrong with the procedures and materials used. I sincerely hope you will take this opportunity to do the right thing and restore some faith in your practice. Scott A. Sherman

Last week I had a tooth pulled, and what would normally be my worst nightmare turned into one of the best dental experiences of my life. Dr. Larry Kunkle, D.D.S. was absolutely incredible.

I've had a lot of dental work over the years, and this is by far the best dentist I've ever had. I left feeling blessed, relieved, and able to get back to my happy self -- smiling like a crazy girl!
