Went in for a cleaning. They suggested X-rays. The X-rays were not covered by my insurance because…read moreI had them done a few months earlier with the oral surgeon they had recommended. I was refused a refund for the X-rays. I told the office that I wouldn't be coming back. And then I was offered a refund that would be held and applied to my next visit. They were basically holding my refund hostage in exchange for keeping me as a patient. I again said that I wouldn't be coming back and they kept my refund. Bottom line. They don't care about you as a person or patient. They want to keep you coming back so they can continue to bill you. Even when what they do isn't covered by your insurance.

I have now had one filling and three cleanings in my year and a half as a client and am grateful to have found Blanc for a number of reasons: 1) Flexibility with scheduling and the team here was even understanding when I arrived (I NEVER do this) 15 minutes late to a cleaning. 2) No nonsense "service" with just facts. No additional "selling" of things that has made me feel really scheezy at other dentist offices. 3) Tight knit and kind team that always makes me feel at ease. 4) FAST appointments. Even my filling took less than an hour. Overall the best experience I've ever had at a dentist and this team will have me as a patient for as long as I live in Philadelphia. Thanks so much, team!

He works with most insurances and will work with you if he is out of network. I like the fact that he does teeth cleaning himself instead of passing it off to a hygienist. The best part of Dr Gardner is that he will not recommend unnecessary procedures or visits. He is conservative with his treatment options and is not focused on maximizing visits and his bill. I totally trust Dr Gardner with my teeth and have recommended him to multiple family and friends.

Having hated going to the dentist my whole life, and this being my first dentist since moving to…read morePhiladelphia, I was a little wary about my appointment with Dr. Gardner. Immediately, he put me at ease when he personally met me at the front door, and I recognized his personable demeanor. His office is cozy, with a single room for him to work in, but he has all the technology you'll need for your appointments right there. He is extremely easy to talk to, makes you feel comfortable and at home the minute you walk in the door, and he did a wonderful job of teaching me as he was going. I've never had a simple cleaning where my dentist took the time to pull out pictures and teach me about the importance of dental hygiene as Dr. Gardner did. I was extremely pleased with my time here and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist in the Philadelphia area!

I don't give 1 star lightly, as you'll know if you look at my review history. But I feel compelled…read moreto WARN PEOPLE AWAY. Someone else noted they have been sold to PE, and it is clear they are now pushing unnecessary procedures (more on that at the end) and treating their clients badly. Their 5 star reviews are from years ago, and I would have given them a similar review when I started with them. I began with this practice 3 years ago, and felt confident in Dr Balin. A combination of personal matters and lack of insurance kept me away for ~18 months. When I went back in July, things had clearly changed. I was asked to fill out new patient information, which I found odd, but I'd been away for a while so, ok. Then, despite having done so in the past, they wouldn't file an insurance claim for me, and said I had to do it myself. It requires codes and whatnot that I didn't have. They said they would provide those, and yet I was emailed a copy of my charge receipt, and had to follow up 2x to get the detailed information. I was kept waiting for over 30 mins when I finally approached the reception desk and asked what was happening. Previously someone would have come over to tell me what was going on. I was barely acknowledged (no eye contact whatsoever), and told my hygienist was running behind. Ok, so you have a job you don't like and you're surly, I can understand that. When I finally do get to the treatment room, there is no acknowledgement that I had been kept waiting 45 mins. (there is a reason I'm detailing the wait -- it's not just the poor client relations) I am there for a routine cleaning. I have had very good teeth all my life, and I take good care of them. So she does some xrays, makes comments to herself but not me, then tells me I need scaling and planing, not just a routine cleaning, and they will start it today. I said, I know what that is and I'm surprised I need it, I don't know if my insurance will cover it, and so I don't want to start it today. She calls in Dr Balin, who says yes, it should be done; your teeth are in good condition but there is bacteria up in the gums. She leaves, then the hygienist says ok, we'll get you prepped. And I'm like hold on, I just came in for a cleaning, I'm not prepared to start on anything today, and can you just do the cleaning? She starts getting all emotional, 'it will be my license if we don't treat you properly,' and basically refuses to do the cleaning, raising the chair to get me to leave. And I don't get out of the chair. I tell her again, I came for a cleaning, I was scheduled for a cleaning, and I'd like a cleaning. Then she tells me she is running behind and doesn't have time to do the cleaning. WHAT??? You kept me waiting 45 mins, you (and Dr Balin I assume) have time to get a scaling and planing underway, and now you can't do a routine cleaning? I remain calm and remind her she kept me waiting 45 mins. She then goes back to talk to Dr Balin. I hear whispers, but not what was said. She comes back, total change of personality, all sweetness and light, and does the cleaning. No one follows up with me about scheduling the scaling and planing, nor do they try to schedule another routine exam and cleaning. It was all very strange. I'm finally writing this review because I just got to another dentist (recommended by a friend) who told me there is no way I need a scaling and planing, nor am I having any signs of gingivitis or early periodontal disease. I sent my xrays in advance (thankfully I got them from Rittenhouse Dentists with only 2 phone calls) He noted that my teeth and bone are in excellent condition, gums are healthy and have some recession but that is to be expected 'at my level of maturity' (61yo). He said some practices work the system so they can bill insurance for a more costly procedure that isn't needed. He shook his head and noted that experiences like mine are why people hate dentists. Between his commenst and the other reviewer's discovery of the PE ownership, my experience now makes sense. Do yourself a favor and find a dentist who cares about clients and the dental profession overall, and not just money.

I came in to get a consult on a chipped tooth and the front staff was great, however the vibe was…read moreweird. I saw an interaction where one of the doctors legitimately ignored their own staff member. I didn't think too much of it, because I don't know the culture there. So I did some asking around since I know some folks that have worked there in the past. Apparently turnover is incredibly high, as at least 5 people have resigned in the past 6 months. There isn't much communication as an entire team, which is obviously a problem with such a small office. Doctors are passive-aggressive to the employees they don't like. They use ableist language and get weirdly upset when people take sick days. Also, there have been microaggressions against Black and Brown staff members. I know 3 people who have worked under these doctors, and it sounds like they do great work, however I'll NEVER support an office that treats their staff so terribly.

Unless you have specific issues that need to be addressed, a typical check-up will last you no more than 25 minutes. As someone who has done a fair amount of dentist hopping due to previous dentists always trying to sell me products, the efficient service of Dr. Rice has been a welcome change. One note about the Yelp check-in offer: you will ALWAYS receive a goodie bag with toothpaste, a toothbrush, and floss after every cleaning, regardless of whether or not you check-in. The receptionist was actually very confused when I showed her the offer on my phone as she had apparently never seen it before. Just know that if you'll always get a goodie bag no matter what you do.

The second appointment I waited in the chair for 55 minutes (yes I counted) waiting to see a doctor, who then told me that I should have my crown replaced simply because it was done the "old school" way and he could make it look much better (side note: it's perfectly intact, which was my only question). Third visit I waited another 30 minutes despite the fact that I was the only patient in the office. I then had the most painful cleaning I've ever experienced while the dentist explained to me how to floss as though I'm a small child who's never done it before. Three strikes and I'm honestly happy that I'll never have to willingly go here again!
