I needed to have oral surgery, my general dentist referred me and that was that. I use, or I should say USED Tompkins Dental, the only thing they ever did right was refer me to here. Dr Noren is the type of person that takes the time to talk to you. Something that is lacking in todays society! He is extremely professional and polite. His staff are also very nice and make you feel welcome. He interacts with his staff very well, unlike many Doctors I have come across. The atmosphere is as good as it can be for an Oral Surgery! You're not there to have a picnic and watch a movie! I needed to have 3 wisdom teeth removed. I was not thrilled about this as I knew I had some pain coming! Everything was explained to me in detail and the procedure went well. I did have a fair amount of pain a few days afterwards, but I knew that would happen. I only wish that general dentists were as courteous and professional as Dr Noren. Hopefully I wont need to, but if I have oral surgery again I will be using him for sure. It made a world of difference to me to be treated like a person and not just a paycheck! Thank you Dr Noren!

I'm one of those people who's a little freaked out by dentists- I've avoided them, I've paid extra to go to "the best"- always been further freaked out, stressed out at the cost, and sorely disappointed. Years ago, I had facial surgery and screws are right near my teeth, so I've always been sensitive and would ask my dentists how that might affect procedures, etc. None of them had any idea or seemed to care whatsoever. Dr. Raggi was the first dentist to take his time in explaining to me how some of the symptoms I was having might be correlated, and how he would specifically factor this into his procedure and treatment plan. He was extremely thorough and happy to explain it all down to me- demystifying and making me far less freaked out than I have been for the first 30 years of my life. I appreciate that he came from a grounded, extremely knowledgeable and holistic framework, and didn't try to oversell whatsoever. The staff (Heidi) was really kind and wonderful too. Amazing resource in Ithaca!

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".
