My goodness do I love Dr G and the entire hygienist team here. All of the staff here are friendly,…read moreand a big thank you for your kindness. Also adults such as myself get chewed up enough at work, to be lectured elsewhere, especially when it's dental time. Here there's none of that irritation, although teeth can be slightly in that fashion after a thorough cleaning. Pain is weakness leaving the body! Admittedly us cavemen aren't always the best with our pearly whites, but this fellow has high praise for their education. It's not pushy, but rather informative. Due to this practice, they planted a seed about teeth/gums and heart health. That's the kind of enlightenment you should get. Here Steve Martin isn't on the staff, but rather Dr G who is actually a really nice guy. Some orthodontists can have this attitude that negatively permeates a practice. That's the opposite here, as he's very genuine, and honest about what your options are. He's also quite funny, and having had novacaine I think it's called shots from him, he's far more gentle than others in the field. Glad to recommend Shield, and hope you and your teeth bite, to make an appointment here!

I've hesitated to write this review, but after two years, I think it's time to share my experience…read more My family and I were patients here for over eight years, and while things started off great, the quality of care and professionalism gradually declined. It began with noticing that cleanings were becoming rushed and incomplete -- sometimes it felt like no real cleaning was done at all. Over time, that lack of thoroughness became the norm. The final straw came with a serious issue involving a financing plan for my son's treatment. Although I agreed to an 18-month, no-interest plan, the office enrolled me in a 24-month plan with 26% interest. It took me four stressful weeks and numerous calls and emails (many unanswered) to get it fixed. At one point, I was even told the account could only be canceled if I opened a new one, which felt coercive and unprofessional. As a Deaf patient, I rely on email communication, yet messages often went ignored. Two years later, I still haven't received the final statement or an explanation for the mysterious $125 credit that I was supposedly owed. Our new dentist also questioned the amount of work that was recommended here -- and several of my son's fillings had to be redone because they had fallen out, costing us $750 out of pocket. I'm sharing this so others know to review their paperwork carefully, confirm financing terms, and keep all communication in writing.

Horrid experience with the nastiness receptionist ever. I've…read moreseen many guard dogs at medical offices in my day, but never one as rude & unprofessional as this broad. I have been to many dental office as well & never have I experienced such a hateful greeting. We had a double emergency appt booked for my daughter & I. We took a wrong turn because getting there is hard and their building is located in a weird area, that caused us to take the wrong turn. This took us out of our way and we had to turnaround. Made us late arriving to their building. We jumped out & ran inside the building only to find a sign that said we had to walk around to the front. Nice for those of us who park in handicapped parking and have small kids. Once we made it inside, a woman with a snarl on her face greeted us with a bark, "Do U have an appointment?!" Well, yes, why else would be here? She was having a private conversation on the phone & glared at us over her shoulder as if we were interrupting and bothering her. Told her who we were and she again barked, "UR 15 minutes late!" I told her we got lost & apologized. We were there to be seen on an emergency basis. My daughter has 2 bad teeth, as do I. We start a month long summer camp next week & the dentist goes on vacation tomorrow. We wanted to be evaluated with appts being set up next week. I told the nasty ogre I would kill my appt so we were actually 40 minutes early for my daughter's appt. She snapped, "That's not how it works!" I told her that's ridiculous, but fine. We would get another dentist who actually cares for people. This was an emergency evaluation appt! We get better care at the worst ER in Woodbridge than here. The dentist was gonna make a ton of money from us. I need at least 2 crowns & my daughter needs 1 crown & filling. I have many more teeth needing care. Find any other dentist than this one. Unless UR into S&M.
