It was easy to schedule an appointment to see the dentist as a new patient. The staff and the…read moredoctor were friendly and the office is comfortable. It doesn't even have that awful dentist office smell! I was pleased with the way Dr. Whipple explained my dental issues and what the appropriate treatment would be. Be aware that they don't perform root canals in office, but refer you to an endodontist, which can be good or bad. For me, it's inconvenient to have to go to another office (hence the four star rating), but there's certainly nothing wrong with having a specialist do the procedure. I plan to have my routine care at Seven Valley Dental from now on.

I got severely misled and lied to about the costs of this place. They have fancy new equipment and…read morenice smiles, but they charge about 3 times as much as other places in the area, which are also just as good in terms of quality of service. In particular, I was told that they accept all insurance there. Then after I get a bill for more than $400, and brought to their attention that my insurance would not cover that, I was told first that they don't accept any insurance, and secondly that I was wrong because no one there would have told me that to begin with! The tried to explain to me how it was all my fault that I had misheard what I was originally told. I was also told that I would receive a follow-up call from the office manager to discuss further, but I have heard nothing after multiple calls to their office. Talk about bait and switch. Swindlers. Take your business elsewhere. There's something rotten below that enamel.

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 would like to start off by saying Dr. Omar was incredible…read more HOWEVER, the staff was very unhelpful, unprofessional, and unknowledgeable about how my insurance worked. 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".

Very problematic. I went in for a relatively simple problem and instead of doing an x-ray (which…read moreshould be included in the consult) followed by simple treatment, they wanted a 600 dollar CT scan in order to continue, totally unnecessary. Thankfully, I declined it. I went to another dentist in another town and had exactly the right treatment, with x-ray, all for the price of the consult:. It's a shame because there are nice people who work in that office and they are kind when you ring them. But it's not good to try and take people for a dental ride. I hope they learn a lesson and don't do this again.

Approximately 95% of the times I have called the phone just rings and rings. There is also no functioning voicemail system, so leaving a message is not an option. Because the phone system appears broken, I highly recommend the office provide a public email address or portal so patients have a reliable way to communicate. It took my husband months to get an appointment because of this. He too loves the people and service.

my anxiety? generalized, chronic! dental anxiety? don't know her! and if i did, Dr. Joe would hook…read moreme up with the correct dose of something to knock the anxiety right out of me! we have a long and storied history, going back to when i was a pre-teen with a baaadd cavity. Dr. Joe pulled the tooth, recommended an orthodontist (Dr. Cacciotti, who is now retired) who he communicated with via regular coffee dates at Wegmans with throughout my dental journey. we decided to pull three more molars, then Dr. Cacciotti put my braces on, pulled my furthest molars back and gave me a dazzling smile in the end. Dr. Joe has got me through it with effortless grace and his shoes by the door (even though he does frequently ask if i'm adopted now). The thing with pulling the molars forward was apparently even written about in a dental journal! I'm a star, all because of Dr. Joe! Now, it hasn't been all sunshine and roses. i mean, it's still the dentist's office. people don't end up in the dentist office because something good has happened. i have shed tears in that parking lot as the cows stared me down. But these folks have the good taste not to bring up the time i (by now being an actual adult and having should have known better) smashed a tooth while riding my bike with my dog on a leash beside me. the dog had a great time but they eventually had to do a root canal and put a veneer on the tooth to make it the right size. This event is not ever mentioned in my presence, within guidelines of good taste! But even at my lowest, Dr. Joe's office got me though it. and once the dental emergencies that you hopefully never have more of are over, it just comes down to maintenance. after the braces and the molars and the bike, it's nice to just have an uneventful cleaning once in awhile. This office can do both! Besides my now completely average looking set of pearly whites, the testament of Dr. Joe's quality is his team. Alisha, Rachel and any of the dogs you might meet on your visit are always a joy to interact with. The cows on the lawn are the first sign you've found something special, but the cows are just the tip of the iceberg. I do wish they would reopen the waiting room post covid, but i understand wanting to keep the staff safe and adapting a business model to fit what works best. Thanks, Dr. Joe, Alisha and Rachel for keeping my smile dazzling!

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. I'm a voice professional and must be able to perform in Italian, French, and English as well as demonstrate to my students. The only positives about the office are the delightful woman in the front office and the very healthy croton that gets morning sunshine through the window. Avoid at all costs.

Unfortunately, with Integrative Oral Health, you have to apply through Medicare to recoup the money you pay for the visit. Unfortunately, Excelles won't reimburse the full amount. The dentist's receptionist will apply for the reimbursement on your behalf. We also apply ourselves because the forms didn't get through the system a few times. I have tried the other dentists listed by Excelles, and I was NOT happy with their service. One tried to pull out my bridge and said I needed a deep cleaning, which wasn't true. The other dentist called me the day before my appointment (that took months to get) and cancelled on me, saying the hygienist wouldn't be in that day!!! I was not very happy!
