I had previously stopped going to Dental Dreams due to a bad experience, but I decided to give them…read moreanother try, hoping things had improved. Unfortunately, I was disappointed once again. The office is overbooked, with a crowded waiting room and long wait times. My appointment was scheduled for 10 AM, yet I sat for 40 minutes without even being checked in. When I approached the front desk to ask if I needed to fill out any paperwork, the receptionist informed me that she hadn't even gotten to my name yet. I asked how much longer it would be and if I should reschedule, but she couldn't give me an estimate. Instead, she vaguely stated that it "doesn't mean it will be a long time." She was initially unwilling to reschedule my appointment until another staff member stepped in and offered to do so. By that point, I had already decided to find a more organized and professional dental office--one that actually prioritizes cleanliness, because this place was filthy. I would not recommend Dental Dreams to anyone looking for quality care and good customer service.

Went in to see George Carlino to get a crown on my molar (#13). He offered me a METAL TEMPORARY…read morewhich I denied, but when I went in to get my "permanent" crown put in HE DRILLED INTO THE WRONG TOOTH WITHOUT NUMBING AND CHIPPED A HEALTHY TOOTH (#7). If you're not familiar, #13 is in the back #7 (fang tooth) is in the front... Very hard to mix up. He attempted NOT to use gloves when putting his fingers in my mouth to start so I (not a dentist) had to remind him to use gloves. When I (again not a dentist) informed him that I believed he is drilling into the wrong tooth he starred into my mouth cluelessly for about 45 seconds, chuckled, and stated "these mistakes happen" to which his assistant behind me then stated CLEAR AS DAY AND WITHIN STRONG EAR SHOT OF ME "I told you George, you had the crowns mixed up, I told you that this was not the correct crown & you didn't listen." My insurance company had to call him within a week of my botched crown appointment to get the work removed from my file so I could go to an actual dentist to get the correct work done and he couldn't even remember who I was let alone the work that was botched. He offered me a reimbursement for the co-pay via check in the mail (USPS) after I denied him the opportunity of "fixing" the now broken healthy tooth. Since he agreed to sending me the check I & my insurance company called him back roughly 5x within a 3 month span to remind him to send me my refund check of my co-pay and to remove the work that was "done" to which after 3 months he finally did. This guy is an absolute joke to work with, he has zero idea what he is doing and CLEARLY needs to be retired from dental work before he harms other people. If you value your teeth or want any level of professionalism whatsoever, DO NOT EVER GO HERE. THIS MAN HAS ZERO IDEA WHAT HE IS DOING!!!!

He is bare bones, with 2 or 3 dental hygienists working at a time. I've been coming here for 7 years.

I have always appreciated the care I have received from him. My concern is with an interaction I had with dental hygienist Melissa. During my visit, I asked for information about my son's upcoming dental appointment. As his father, legal guardian, and the person providing his dental insurance, I expected either the requested information or a clear explanation of any office policy that prevented it. Instead, the conversation included what I perceived to be unnecessary gossip, bias opinions, and commentary that had nothing to do with my request. Rather than simply addressing the question or referring me to someone who could, the interaction became uncomfortable and unprofessional. Later that same day, I called the office and spoke with the receptionist, who provided the appointment information without any difficulty or unnecessary discussion. Based on my experience, I encourage the practice to ensure that staff remain professional, avoid unnecessary personal commentary or gossip, and communicate office policies consistently and respectfully. While I have had many positive experiences with this practice over the years, this interaction fell well below the standard I have come to expect, which is why I am leaving a one-star review. Steer clear of Melissa.

Dr. Steingold prefers to meet each new patient for an exam before any work or preventive service is done, so I came in for this meet and greet. Dr. Steingold is pleasant and knowledgeable and completed a thorough exam of my mouth. I have good teeth, but a few other interesting things such as large tori on the bottom and TMJ with a jaw misalignment that makes people cringe when they hear my jaw crunch and crack when I chew. Everything was noted with one surprise of a cracked off filling on one of my back teeth. My cleaning scheduled for a week later went very smoothly and I was in and out in a timely manner. In the interim between my initial exam and my cleaning I received a Welcome to the Practice postcard which I thought was a really nice gesture, who does that any more? Not many, and I think it's a good indication of the care I will receive at my visits. They offer a discount off if you have someone that refers you. So far, I'm happy that I switched my dental work here and look forward to their service.

Great office including the doctor and staff. I will continue to use in the future for sure.read more
