Well, let me tell you the experience with Dr. Kamp was a very positive experience. Everyone in the office was so nice and so caring. The hygienist was amazing and so informative. Dr. Kamp was kind and checked on me several times throughout my visit. He, in my opinion is one of the best dentists in Ithaca, NY. I highly recommend him! Unfortunately he isn't covered with my dental care, but I would rather spend the extra on a positive experience than save a few dollars on a negative one.

8/22 update: After my bad experience (noted below) I went to Gorges dental two days later: NO…read moreCAVITIES! You should get a second opinion before getting a procedure here. 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.

As a former healthcare clinic manager of 20 years, I can usually tell within minutes whether a…read moreclinic is well run. From my very first call, Gorges Dentistry gave me all the green flags. 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.

I have an Excellus plan through the marketplace. They initially told me that I would receive a reimbursement check in 4-6 weeks... That time had passed so I called back and someone said they would get back to me later that day (no one ever did...). I waited another WEEK and had to call back again. When I spoke to a person this time they had trouble looking me up because the person initially taking down my information had it completely wrong... same birthday (month/day) but wrong year, same first name, but wrong last name, and the wrong street address (but the same street number...). Very odd and unprofessional - it seemed like they were trying to multitask or looking at information from two different sheets... It made enough sense to confirm it was me, but had SO MANY errors. Either way once that was resolved she said I would get a check for reimbursement withing a week. Another Week goes by and nothing so I call back AGAIN! And this time I find out that they cannot submit the claim because its through the state (I don't know how they missed that on my initial visit, but they did.) SO I had to call insurance and submit the claim on my own just to find out that Gorges dental was "out of network" - so now Im stuck paying "out of pocket". I WOULD AVOID THIS DENTIST AT ALL COST IF YOU HAVE INSURANCE THROUGH EXCELLUS, OR ANY PLAN THROUGH "THE STATE".

Nothing has changed I see. Way back in 2007 I went here cuz they took Cornell's Dental plan…read more Dr. Kapur failed to properly remove the decay before applying the fillings. Just like so many others have experienced. I got fed up & demanded my deposit back for a root canal. They lied, hesitated, told me "refund is on it's way" & other stall tactics. Meanwhile I had to have another dentist repair her shitty work, costing me near $1500 out-of-pocket. After 7 months, they still refused to return my deposit...she could not fill 2 cavities properly, no way I was going to trust her with a root canal. Finally, I walked into the office & through "vivid imagery" explained to them it would be in our mutual best interest to return my deposit within 72 hrs. I had waited long enough & suffered due to her incompetency, not to mention the financial loss. Within one day I got a call from them informing me, "I could pick up a check for my full deposit or have them mail it to me". All I will say is, "Folk value their health over $". That was nearly 20 yrs ago! Yet I read she has not became any better of a dentist or person. So, please consider this -- they were bad then & still are just as bad. But if u think I'm lying, go & find out. Why am I doing a review now...cuz I'm looking for a new dentist (my beloved dentist after the horrible Dr. Kapur, sadly passed away recently) & while reading reviews for prospective new dentists I came across the reviews for Dr. Kapur & was amazed she is still destroying people's teeth nearly 20 years after she botched 2 simple fillings & caused me to wait 7 months for a menial $400 root canal deposit.

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.
