We made an appointment and during our visit Doc explained to me that he and "his team" had just helped another patient with the same issue. He truly cares about my son and he had a plan in place within a week. Doc put braces on Jack's teeth and monitored the movement in order to get everything in place for the rest of the team of amazing dentists to do their work. My son will have to have bone grafts, implants and bridges but this team of wonderful doctors are taking such good care of him, I just know we are in great hands and that we are in the right place.

Last Friday, I went to Valley Arts Dental for my first visit as a new patient. Overall, I had a…read moregreat experience - from scheduling over the phone, completing patient forms via their practice platform, to the actual x-rays and cleaning in the chair. The WO office is on Valley Street. There's a private parking lot in the back of the building. The person who checked me in was friendly and welcoming. I liked the seats in the waiting room and the big windows facing Valley that let in natural light. The exam room similarly had large windows. The dental chair faced the windows, so you have a nice view (to distract yourself) to look at. Alternatively, there was also a TV screen playing video of Jamaica, which was relaxing. I was mentally walking the beach during my teeth cleaning. I was really nervous going in (like a little terrified), but fortunately all my worrying was for nothing. Brenda handled all my x-rays and performed my cleaning. She assuaged any and all fears I had. Brenda is the BEST! and Dr. Klausner was great - he explained my teeth/gum situation to me so that I understood, was super knowledgeable, answered questions or concerns I had, and from what I sensed enjoys his job (I think that makes a difference in quality of care and treatment). So far, it's been 5-Stars with Valley Arts Dental and I feel more comfortable to continue with their office.

There is a remarkable homey feel when I walk through the office door. Everyone is courteous, professional, and exhibit amazing patient care. I would trust both Dr. Kayne and Dr. Tuckmans' professional opinions. Even if I were to move away, I would willingly make the drive to come back to this office.

If I could leave 0 stars I would have. Dr. Portale was banking on redoing my 87 year old mother's…read morebridge after they broke and she visited with him a few weeks ago. Dr. Portale explained that it would be necessary to extract 8 upper teeth, put posts for implants in, have a temporary bridge made, and then the permanent bridge would of course be last to be put in and adjusted. He requested a little over $19,000 for these services. A 10% deposit was made in haste, but after some thought, my mother decided that his plan to do all that work at her age was too much to go through and wanted a simpler solution to help with her daily living and of course for aesthetics. I called the office and requested my mother be refunded the deposit. After 12 days a portion was returned and it was explained by Dr. Portale himself that the portion he kept ($1100) was for the office visit (She was in his chair for 10 minutes while he temporarily affixed her broken bridge). Dr. Portale stated that my mother had infections in her mouth and that I would ultimately be responsible for the consequences and that he knows a few people that died from mouth infections (My mother had open heart surgery several years ago and is still on blood thinners, she also is suffering from Alzheimer's dementia, so any infection detected needs to be treated immediately). Ask yourself how and why, if she had infections in her mouth, he would let her leave his office with no follow-up or prescription for the infections? As a medical professional the responsibility to consciously not treat what he claimed to be infections in her mouth is a clear breach of any medical professional's ethics. Maybe it was because there are no and were no infections! I had this confirmed the next day by an emergency room Ph.D. who did her blood work and other testing. Dr. Portale's response to that was, "Well what medical school did you go to?, Was he an emergency dental doctor or a medical doctor?", and then proceeded to negate the doctor's findings and blood work results because he was not a dentist, he stated "they don't know anything about the mouth and teeth". Yesterday, it was confirmed by another Nj State Dentistry Board dentist that there are no infections in my mother's mouth. Dr. Portale is THE most unprofessional, unethical, pompous, rude, arrogant, money hungry, condescending liar I have ever had the unfortunate circumstance of dealing with. He speaks with patients and their families as if they are below him because he went to dental school. How he lays his head down on his pillow and sleeps at night knowing how he disrespects and scams his patients and their families is beyond my imagination. He should have his license revoked and never be able to practice dentistry again. I'm hoping to help this process by contacting the NJ State Dental Board and look forward to providing the recordings of Dr. Portale putting us down, cursing at us and finally hanging up the phone without a chance to respond after he felt painted in a corner with the questions we had regarding the infections he insisted my mother had in her mouth. This review is of no reflection on the office staff. The staff that works for Dr. Portale are a group of sweet, caring and professional individuals - a stark contradiction from Dr. Portale. Please research by checking all of the reviews, the NJ State Board of Dentistry complaints and the NJ State Division of Consumer Affairs complaints that were filed regarding Dr. Portale and then get a second opinion.

I was looking to change my dentist as Brighter dental - Bedminster also does other services. The…read morefront desk is HIGHLY inefficient even though they appear friendly. We were charged for x-rays as it was part of the new patient sign up but was not intimated when we booked the appointment that this will incur an out of pocket expense as we are covered only every 5 years. When I made the appointment for my daughter, I specifically asked if they needed us to bring in anything. I was told they had everything they needed. A simple transfer of the existing x-rays from my previous dentist would have been sufficient but I ended up paying $150+. Highly inefficient and they do not even have a management number to contact to provide feedback.

So I am writing this to keep people well aware of Brighter Dental Practices and pricing. I went…read morehere because my old dentist had retired and I found them who also accepted my insurance. So first I was told i could only schedule on a Monday because that is when a person who does the evaluation was available. Mind you, no dentist would use a specific date to eval you. Most dentist just do it on any scheduled appointment. So it was my first red flag. Second red flag was the actual evaluation. It took nearly 30+ plus minutes to get some x-rays biting down on X-Ray rings that eventually bruised the top of my mouth. They use a very archaic system that my new dentist did the same xrays in 10 seconds with a 360 degree x-ray machine and saw more then what these people saw. So after the assistant did the x-rays i met with another dentist who told me i had gum disease and would need oral surgery in two of my teeth. I would also need crowns from previous root canals also will need two new root canals. I also was recommended a night guard which honestly is the only thing they got right. So....after that 5 minute check of my teeth, i was told to wait. 5 minutes later I get with a estimated bill $10,500. I could pay off my car with that money. That was red flag number 3. So it gets deeper. They wanted a total of 15 visits. I dont have vacation time that will cover this. So I had a appointment booked my PCP the next day who I will review this with. I saw my PCP the next day for a check up and he received a medical clearance request from Brighter Dental. My Doctor said in his 40+ years of working a practice, he has never seen a request like this. What is a bigger joke is that they requested dosage amounts of different anesthetics that they should already know how to prescribe and use. We both suspect that Brighter Dental doesn't want to take responsibility in case a screw up happens. They should have a licensed anesthesiologist on staff if they want to administer it. So my PCP thought it was Bullshit and in agreement we would reject the request and go elsewhere. So I went and saw a private dentist and when i showed him the bill, his mouth dropped, his assistants' mouth dropped. I had my eval done in 30 minutes with x-rays and all I needed were fillings. I had some cavities but he got rid of them on my next visit and it only took him an hour. He does know about Brighter Dental. So they are a chain dentistry. They have good dentist who work there but they are very aggressive with their treatments...most you dont even need.So obviously i stuck with my new dentist and didnt even both with this place anymore. So discussing the business model with my dentist, he told me that they stay in business because people are just willing to pay for their absurd treatment plans. They charge whatever they want and bank in a shit load of cash. They are very aggressive with you and put you in fear right away. Dont fall for this bullshit maneuver . If you feel its not right, then most likely it is not right. My biggest advice to you is to get a second opinion from a private practice. you will get the honest answers and honest pricing. If you are still unsure, just ask if they charge contracted rates and if they do, perfect. Stick with them. I could tell my dentist was a great one. The way he works with kids is phenomenal. He never minds a personal call if you have any concerns. He is always available. Thats why I go to him and have huge confidence in him. Put it this way, my out of pocket is in the hundreds thanks to him and not in to the double digits thousands thanks to these corporate crooks. So don't go to places like this. Stick with a independent private practice.
