I was a patient here for two years. At first, everything seemed great--friendly staff, convenient…read morelocation--but the actual care left a lot to be desired. From my very first visit, I was surprised at how little time the dentist spent with me. That only got worse over time. One filling turned into the most painful, drawn-out dental procedure I've ever had--and it wasn't even a complex one. I also raised concerns about teeth grinding and shifting, and was completely dismissed without any real discussion. I left that appointment feeling brushed off and unheard. Scheduling was another major issue. They couldn't accommodate a standard six-month cleaning schedule, booked me eight months out, and when I asked to be put on a cancellation list, they never followed up. Then they canceled on me two days before my appointment. At that point, I gave up. It's clear there are some kind and well-meaning people on staff, but my experience with the dentist and overall care was disappointing and, frankly, frustrating. I'm moving on to a new provider.

Since then the attention of this place changed drastically; From the point where they organized an appointment for me on a Saturday, which they confirmed the day before and when I arrived at the place it was closed. No one bothered to let me know that they were not working. But the most unpleasant experience was with this Dr. Guzman whom I admired. In one of the routine visits, I told her about a pimple or lump on the gum above a tooth, I showed her that that part was painful. Her response was, we can check it later, for now we are going to offer you the exchange of a crown for another tooth (which did not hurt and was still fine) for the price of $4000. Completely ignoring my state of health. I recently visited another local dentist and just by taking the x-rays, he identified the problem, he immediately informed me of what to do, the problem that caused it and the treatment he would use as well as the payment facilities. We have already started treatment, which makes me feel safe and calm, because this doctor shows interest in my health. Not in selling me a product.

They had me go in for an "emergency" that was not even an emergency, and waited until I was already finished with the appointment to tell me that taking a piece of food out of my tooth would count as my visit- leaving out the fact that I was scheduled for a regular checkup the following week. This is not the first time situations like this have happened and the woman who is the office manager has been extremely rude while smirking over these issues. After 5 years at a dentist office I really loved, I feel taken advantage of and screwed out of my regular checkup. Would not recommend this office. I want to be clear - The dental hygienist staff are amazing - they are not part of this bad review. And until this date, I had no negative interactions with this dentist office outside of the office manager making snotty comments such as "only people with money can afford to have teeth."

I have been going to this Gentle Dental office for the past 5 years…read more It is really hard now a days to find good dentists and I realized this even more when I had to search for a new dentist in Arizona. The staff in the Gentle Dental office is honest and caring. Having an honest trusting relationship is the most important factor when it comes to choosing the right dentist. I was referred by a friend to see Doctor Pezeshki while I was a student living in Boston. I have gone through several new dentists in the area since I moved, but no dentist has been able to fulfill the same standards as Dr. Pezeshki for me. He is an excellent dentist, and I would never question his treatment plans. Since he directs this office, I have no doubt that the dentists who work there have to fulfill the same standards of excellence in order to be hired. I have had experience with a few of them and they all have been just as great. I would recommend this Gentle Dental to any new patient looking to find a dentist for a lifetime. Trust me when i say you will be making the greatest choice in your life and in the health of your teeth. You will not want another dentist working on you after this and you will make your teeth happy :)

I made the appointment, was made to wait for 2 hours because Dr. Recinos decided not to show up that morning; he finally looked at my teeth for about 2 seconds before telling me I needed a filling redone. I was then ushered out without a cleaning, and was told that I would have to make another appointment to get the cleaning done (I am assuming to get larger reimbursement from my insurance). I suspected incompetence, so I saw another dentist who told me I had no problems . . . it's actually been about 4 years since this happened, I've been seen by at least 3 other dentists none of whom have identified any problems, and my filling is still in and I have no new cavities. So, basically Dr. Recinos will tell you anything to drum up business.
