Just visited Dr Guida today for gum surgery over one front tooth. I was anxious and thought this…read moreprocedure would for sure be painful. I was shocked to say the least. No pain at all was felt or even discomfort while he injected the Novocain or while he did the surgery. I also appreciated the kindness of the front desk staff as well as Shannon the dental hygienist. The communication between Dr Guida and Shannon during the procedure did not go unnoticed. It was so nice to hear the Dr thanking her for things and her acknowledging his kindness. I would highly recommend anyone to not delay having a surgical procedure because of fear or anxiety, Dr. Guida is so gentle, kind and extremely professional. He even personally called me moments ago to follow-up on me.

The dental surgery I had went very well. Almost no pain. However, I have had my teeth cleaned there…read moretwice and both times the cleaning has been more painful than the surgery. The only way to describe the hygienist is ham fisted. Two different hygienists. Two painful experiences. Not just my gums either my jaw hurts also. You have to ask for the gum numbing agent they won't voluntarily give it to you. However, the numbing won't help with the way they go about the cleaning. My bottom lip hurts from all the pressure she put on it while cleaning my front teeth.

I had an 11 am appointment with this provider - by 12:15 pm, I still hadn't been seen, with no…read moreexplanation provided as for why there was a delay. Meanwhile, people who arrived after I did were seen before me. They also tried to get me to sign up for "laughing gas" for my surgery - something my state-provided insurance wouldn't cover, so I would have been obligated to pay them out of pocket. This was not what we had agreed upon prior to the appointment. In fact, they didn't seem to notice or care that I was there until I walked out the door and back to my car, at which point the nurse who followed me told me I hadn't been treated differently than anyone else - good to know - if you want to be ignored and waste your time, then by all means, go here...otherwise, go elsewhere!

I would like to thank Dr. Winter for his honest and straightforward consultations regarding the…read morerisks and concerns associated with my procedure. He was very easy to work with throughout the entire process and always kept me informed about what was happening and what to expect every step of the way. I am extremely grateful that the procedure went so well, and I am very satisfied with how thoroughly Dr. Winter explained everything beforehand. I remember the first consultation feeling a bit overwhelming, but Dr. Winter's step-by-step approach and clear communication helped me feel much more prepared and confident. He made sure I understood all possible outcomes, which I truly appreciated. Thank you to Dr. Winter and your entire staff for your authenticity, communication, positivity, and professionalism throughout this experience. I have always had a fear of dental and oral procedures, but your team made me feel as comfortable as possible and treated me with great care and respect. Thanks

I really don't complain about anything, but these people are too sneaky , rude and unprofessional when it comes with billing, and now I see i wasn't the only one complaining for the same reasons, paying $1,400 out of pocket for wisdom tooth removed is insane and I fell for it, now you know how these people work!

I am so shocked to read the first review. I literally had…read morethe exact opposite experience here. I needed an implant done on my tooth due to an injury which is a multi step process and I am so afraid to ever go to a dentist, generally I shake like a leaf and even the sound of the drill makes me want to hyperventilate. The Dr and his entire staff was so nice and calming, talking me through the process. He cracked jokes with me while his nurse held my hand and endured what can only be described as digging my nails in her hand until I was calm. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I am in the process of finding out if there is any legal ramifications for this practice of not recognizing the Ct. State and Federal FMLA laws and our Union contract for disability insurance.

I was surprised that he did not even prescribe physical therapy for temporary relief.

Please take my advice and avoid him.
