Also known as...VIP Dental I believe?…read more The staff here is extremely welcoming and friendly. They put me at ease immediately. The waiting area is comfortable and pleasant, a rustic lodge feel to it. I'm on the fence about the dentist -I've been for a number of reasons already, everything from a cleaning to a mouthful of cavities to be filled, to getting a night guard fitted. She is lacking bedside manners and compassion to say the least. Her jokes seem sarcastic and she rarely puts effort into conversing. I ended up being reduced to tears when I was having an extreme anxiety issue at one of my first appointments. After having a large number of cavities filled on both sides of my mouth, three months later and I still have extreme tooth sensitivity and pain when I floss them. The dentist claims they will feel better after 6 months and even took an X-ray to verify that nothing was wrong with the teeth. If you're wondering why I went back to this place, it's partly because everything *except* the dentist is perfect but also because I know that I am not the easiest patient. My recommendation is that if you can afford the exorbitant cost at East Amherst Dental down the street , go there! But if your insurance is Delta Dental and you tend to have a lot of dental issues and phobias, look for a place that measures up to VIP Dental's staff but has a nicer dentist (and let me know!)

My face was swollen with the pain in my jaw and gland. A month earlier my last Dentist told me to go to the emergency since the infection was spreading and l had 2 hours to live. Not ! Had a cat scan to show that it wasn't like the Dentist and Oral Surgeon said. Never wentr back to them. Thought she would be kinder. Wrong ! I was forced to use a very old bottle of antibiotic l had at home. I called the office on Monday and told the receptionist what happened and was told that the doctor has a new program and can't order what l needed. Baloney... I told her to tell the doctor l said she's a terrible person to do that to me and that she should retire.

Surgeon is extremely rude and does not answer any questions you may have prior to the surgery. I have a heart condition so it was important for me to go in and ask questions as i needed clearance from the cardiologist to even get my wisdom teeth out. However the surgeon ignored them and pushed me out of the constellation. When getting my wisdom teeth removed i had anxiety- as any one does getting them out. He threaten to not do them for me and began packing his things out of the room to leave. LESS THAN 3 minutes of even taking me back there. I am only 23 and expressed multiple times i have anxiety which none of them seemed to believe. Every person there looked at me like i was crazy. I am so beyond relieved i will never have to go back to this place and I highly suggest looking elsewhere before booking with them!! It was not worth it at all.

What a nightmare. I was referred to this office for a simple consultation by my dentist. This…read moreoffice won't even talk with you before you submit a form with personal and medical information. Next, I could not get an appointment without paying a deposit. This was a simple consult! I would have been happy to pay for a consult and any related X-rays at the time of the appointment, but they don't even want to see you without your money in their pocket first. Not only did I find this disrespectful, but it was a very poor 1st impression and a bad start to a professional and constructive relationship. Not for me

Amazing experience! I went in for all four wisdom teeth extraction this morning. I was very nervous…read moreand scared as I am very sensitive to everything and have high anxiety about everything, I also did not have a good experience with laughing gas years ago with another dentist. Therefore I was very hesitant and scared to receive iv sedation. The team started by getting my vitals then Dr.Nigalye inserted my IV and started the fluids and sedatives, after that all I remember was waking up with gauze. They helped me get my sweater on and walked me to my car. I am only about 4 hours post op and my sedation has completely worn off with no side effects, local anesthesia is still there. Amazing experience so far, we will see how the healing process goes:) thank you to Dr. Nigalye and your team, thank you for the lake effect frozen hot chocolate ice cream as well, I ate it all in 20 minutes!

Dr. Tucker not only treated me…read moreas if I had no money and was a waste of his time, but most of all he spoke to me very unprofessionally. His staff was incredibly rude and unprofessional the way they treat patients. Randy and Brianna were talking badly about the doctors past dental work in the next room where I could hear clearly. That's when I left. You can tell they are all about the money and if you don't look like you have it or are from Williamsville, they waste your time and courage because I hate going to the dentist in the first place. I should have knew better after reading his reviews. Bruce was at the front desk on his cell phone being obnoxious with his loud tone we heard his whole conversation about politics and degrading Trump. I felt like I was in the twilight zone! I went next door after to Dr. Nigayle and the moment I walked in it was like a breath of fresh air. Go next door! Hope this helps.

Dr. Laura Barres is truly the best and she has such a friendly and outgoing personality. On top of that she makes any procedure better and gets you in and out very quickly (plus they have TVs for you to watch). Jennifer does my cleanings and she is equally as friendly and amazing. The entire staff is so nice, it really is an awesome environment and I look forward to it now! They even have a new addition - Ralph, a mini golden doodle who is being trained to be a therapy dog to help patients to calm them and lay on their laps during cleanings and procedures! Plus he is sooo adorable! I love everyone there, they made me actually enjoy the dentist!
