I checked in online and was seen within a few minutes of me arriving at the office. There is two hour free parking in the adjacent UPMC Mercy parking garage. You will most likely have to drive to one of the top floors to find a spot so account for an extra ~10 minutes to park and walk to the actual office. The office sends directions on how to get into the building and to their suite. I would call and double check to clarify if you have any questions. My cleaning and X-rays only took thirty minutes and the doctor was there shortly after to take another look at my teeth. Everyone was really professional and kind and I felt comfortable throughout the whole experience. I know finding a dentist is tough, but I will gladly recommend this practice to others.

I finally made a dental appointment for a routine visit. It has been a spell after bring a faithful…read moregoer -- my longtime dentist at my former practice retired, his business partner doubled prices, I quit going in protest, insurance an issue after 65, yadayadayada. Sooo, I happened upon Verona Dental Care via Facebook ads, a friend liked them, and they are just down the street from my eyecare place. I will say a first time routine dental visit was 3 months out. After getting through that hurdle, a couple days before the appointment. I got a text giving me the procedures for a new patient -- xrays, 3d scan, and gum evaluation, but no cleaning at this appointment. I do wish they had said that 3 months ago... I don't have insurance; instead i have a discount plan, which they accept. I remained concerned about costs so at every turn, before appointment, during appointment, and every procedure, I made sure to keep asking about costs. Surprisingly, my final costs were extremely low. No price gouging and no unwarranted upcharges. Procedures were xrays, 3d scan, gum evaluation as stated prior to my visit. Then, my hygienist, Hannah, had time to do the cleaning after all after one other patient. I had sealant easily applied to one tooth and flouride treatment, all of which was discussed with pricing, and I accepted. I have two fillings to be reapplied on a future visit and that is all after meeting with Dr. Gupta. I was impressed by the entire staff. I met and interacted with Cally (spelling?), Kel (spelling?) and Dinah, as well, and all were professional and very pleasant. Dr. Gupta and Hannah accessed my teeth and gums appropriately with plans for future care. The technology used is first rate. Xrays were done with a handheld thingamajig with no need for the lead apron or them to step out of the room. The gum evaluation, sorry to say, is still a poke you in the gums event. That has not changed. Oh, and bonus points -- there are free water bottles in the waiting room lobby.

The entire visit felt like a sales pitch to a captive audience.

The practice uses AI to analyze x ray imagery and 3D imagery of teeth- everyone knows how prone AI is to hallucinations- and relies on that for diagnosis. Practice is also prone to overtreatment of small caries that can often remineralize on their own. Glad I got a second opinion.

Nearly a year after my appointment, I received a statement from them because "they didn't receive payment from my insurer." I immediately knew something was wrong since I only received a routine dental cleaning with X-rays. I worked with my insurance and figured out that they did not submit a claim to the correct insurance since there were no claims on my file. I had to re-send the office my correct insurance information so they could re-file, but at this point, it was way over the 1 year filing limit, so my insurance denied the claim. Now I'm stuck with a $200 bill since they couldn't do their job properly and timely.

This man CARED about his patients!! If u had a question he would encourage u to call. He was there for his patients. He took the TIME he needed to make everyone feel COMFORTABLE. Comfortability is very big factor when it comes to dentistry. A lot of people have fears & r uncomfortable even walking in the door. So, making your patients feel comfortable is extremely important in this line of work. And Dr. Houy made u as comfortable as possible. Unfortunately Dr. Houy retired. So, I had to go w/ the other dentist. Dr. Gaga Sandu. At first I didn't get any bad vibes. Was he fast & tried to rush u out...YES! But, that was it (atp). Eventually, I had to get major dental surgery! Something that not only terrified me. But, I didn't know much about after care. I was supposed to get the surgery @ AGH & then return to Dr. Gaga Sandu after. Not only did Dr. Sandu cancel appointments w/o notifying me b4 showing up (prior to surgery). He also blatantly LIED TO ME, GASLIT me into thinking the hospitals ER offered something they didn't, & then when MISCOMMUNICATION was happening he refused to take ANY ACCOUNTABILITY & made me out to be some kinda incompetent fool!!!! I was able to get an Emergency appointment (no thanks to Dr. Sandu) & the HOSPITAL whom was ONLY SUPPOSED TO EXTRACT gave me an aftercare paper & told me to call my dentist for a follow up. Which...MADE SENSE! He is in fact my normal dentist that LITERALLY made a "plan" as far as my teeth & what needs done. So, almost a wk later they squeeze me in between appointments. This appointment was an "adjustment" & to make sure there was no infection. Which also....made sense considering it was a MAJOR DENTAL SURGERY & I needed to know the next step! I go in for my appointment & this "dentist" DR. Gaga SANDU says to me, "y r u here". I repeat what the appointment is for. ATP he is looking at me confused. Did NOTHING, told me NOTHING except "this was the hospitals responsibility but sometimes they're lazy & tell u go to the desntist". Like excuse me sir...U R THE DENTIST & this IS INFACT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR AFTERCARE! Get this, I even had to ASK him how I'm even healing! lol!!!!! THIS GUY...DR. GAGA SANDU IS A JOKE!!!! And doesn't have a CARE in the world about his PATIENTS! He sees a money sign $$$ walk in the door instead of a person. He doesn't know it yet but, he has not only lost me as a patient but, MY ENTIRE FAMILY! Which is not 1 but, 6 patients! I have plastered ALL over every social media site how horrible of a dentist he is. And will continue to preach to people NOT TO GO TO THIS GUY!!! Dr. Butler whom works for this dentistry on the other hand is a VERY NICE, POLITE woman who DOES seem to care for the patient themselves as opposed to if they have "good insurance" or how much is in their bank accounts. STAY AWAY FROM DR. GAGA SANDU!!! If I could give him 0 i WOULD!
