I had a disappointing experience at Gentle Dental South Reno…read more The staff was generally professional and polite, but the overall process was frustrating. I wanted to get a second opinion regarding the treatment that was recommended to me. I completely respect that dentists have their own professional recommendations, and I understand they may believe certain procedures are necessary. However, I also believe patients have the right to seek a second opinion before making a decision. Since I currently have no pain, discomfort, or concerns, I asked if I could simply receive the basic cleaning that my insurance covers. I was told they would not provide it because of other treatment recommendations. While I respect their policy, it wasn't the outcome I was hoping for. I then requested copies of my dental records so I could consult another dentist. I was told I needed to sign a release form, which was fine. The office sent the form by email, but it ended up in my spam folder, so I didn't see it until Monday morning. Once I found it, I completed the form and went to the office to obtain my records. Throughout the process, I felt like I had to work much harder than necessary just to get information and access my own records. During one phone call, I explained my situation to an employee, and instead of telling me she was transferring me, I was placed on silence. A different person eventually picked up, and I had to explain everything all over again. Overall, I left feeling like communication could have been much better. I respect the clinical judgment of the providers, but I didn't feel the office made it easy for me to ask questions or obtain my records for a second opinion. Based on my personal experience, I would choose another dental office in the future. And on top I asked I'll be there in 20 min to picked my records and I showed up 1 hour later and still made me wait to do what I asked. So unprofessional service.

Not sure how this was determined, because it was a rushed job. Simply looked at a few teeth with a mirror and made the determination. Did not even have the x-rays in the room to go over. Sought a second opinion from another dentist, who determined that #2 tooth was healthy and #30 was not. The irony is that he used the x-rays taken at Gentle Dental. He also used other methods and conversation that a place emphasizing profit over care would not be concerned about. In any case, this place is either selling services not required or incompetent. Either are disqualifiers. If proper care is expected see a true dentist in private practice and not a dental mill.

Made the appointment and they did more scans (290) which is already annoying. Why not look at the scans I already paid for. The they gave me "the pitch" on cracked teeth. Then he said I shoul# get an extraction and implant which would not count the new tooth (4000+). I said I can't afford that and they pushed a credit card. I said let's just do an extraction and they said (2000). Why is an extraction more than a root canal? Because they are adding in bone grafts. I should have known not to trust a place in the mall. Now i am trying to make another reputable appointment with someone who actually cares about my health while I suffer with this abscess another week. Very unhappy.

I left work early and dedicated my lunch to meeting with the dentist. I asked how much the consult would be and she replied "it's complementary." When I went in she was trying to get me to pay for a different service than what I signed up for, so I asked to just stick to the plan. I then got called into the "treatment coordinator's" office (her name is Charlene Mendoza). Literally the worst experience of my life. I felt like I was in trouble for not wanting to pay for the other service. She kept saying that I could get in in 5 minutes and that my appointment was pointless without the other service. I'm confused as to why they would schedule me for the first service if it was pointless without the other service? Just tell me during the phone call that I need to do the other service before the consult! I also asked if I would be able to get a generalized quote and timeline for the procedures for my teeth and this coordinator said, "oh no that's not an option. We are not just looking at one tooth. This is your whole mouth, there's a process to it and you're not his only patient." Absolutely the worst experience. Definitely not returning and don't recommend this place to my worst enemy.
