I always felt respected during the time Dr. Boyer was the owner; however, things changed with the present owner. I have had a different experience with the new business. There was an air of I know what's best without much discussion of my wishes. My complaints were met with it, and it will work out or ignore. The majority of the staff are professional and kind, although I felt some disrespect in the tone of others. I had an encounter with the owner where he was condescending and rude. I refuse to see him again. I am still going there because I haven't completed my last treatment. Attitudes changed after I told the owner to leave the treatment area where I was, I am being treated by another person whose original attitude has changed. Yes, several months have passed since this happened, but I have been dealing with the trauma of this.

Before coming to Gentle Touch Denistry I was on an HMO plan, I used Smilecare and Horizon Dental…read more Those two businesses were awful! Right before trying Gentle Touch I had gone to Smilecare and was told I needed a deep cleaning, a crown, 6 cavaties fixed and that I was having a problem with pockets in my gums. I was appalled as I had always been told I had good teeth... I openly scoffed at the assessment and told them to just do a regular cleaning and I would be on my way. The main dentist came and gave me an earful telling me I was making a mistake in not getting the work done. I told her I was going to seek out a second opinion. Cue the desperate move to change my insurance to a PPO. Two months later and now on PPO insurance I went to go to see Dr. Borowski who was recommended to me by my mother-in-law. Dr. Borowski said I had 1 cavity starting but I didn't have to get it fixed right away because it was small. She noticed I had a couple old Amalgam fillings and said she could replace them with the white non-toxic filling, if I wanted. But overall I didn't need a deep cleaning, I had no pocket problems, no crown needed, and only 1 minor cavity--not 6! On subsequent visits I have gotten my teeth cleaned, got the small cavity fixed and the amalgam fillings replaced. Each time I had positive dental experiences. She covered me with a fuzzy blanket if I got cold. She played relaxing music in the background. She numbed me adequately. She was very careful to make sure I couldn't feel anything before she started working. She didn't try to upsell us on anything. She was great.

There is no unnecessary pressure which I have come to experience a lot lately with past Dentists. 6 months ago, my daughters last dentist said she needed a tiny filling for something that could turn into a cavity. We did not do anything about it because I had a really bad feeling about that dentist. Needless to say after x-rays and inspection Dr. Howard found nothing. We just changed Insurance Carriers and were a little apprehensive about finding a new Dentist. I feel we hit the jackpot on our first try with Dr. Howard.

I had lost several front teeth and needed implants, and Dr. Wachtel handled the whole process with such warmth and compassion that it made an overwhelming situation feel manageable. She clearly cared about getting the outcome right -- not just functionally, but in a way that restored my confidence. Dr. Wachtel has since moved on, and the staff from my time there has likely turned over completely -- but what impressed me recently is that the current team was just as wonderful. When I reached out years later needing help obtaining my old records for an ongoing medical case, they were responsive, helpful, and went out of their way to assist me without hesitation. That kind of continuity of care and genuine helpfulness -- even for a patient from years ago with a completely different team -- says a lot about the culture this practice has maintained. Highly recommend.

We left the office at 9:20am. My daughter was referred to this office for treatment. We expected my daughter to be seen and get treatment for the cavities found from the other dental office but when I brought it up, they seemed to not know much about it. Long story short, we didn't get treated but scheduled for another day. They also do not go over pricing as other dental offices do, you need to ask so you won't be surprised. Upon checking out, I asked to obtain a copy of my daughter's X-rays. I had called over the phone for it a few days before and front desk said we just need to come in to fill out a medical release and we can get a copy on the day of. When I was there in person, they said it was not allowed. From what I know, we are entitled to see and obtain copies of our own records. Overall, we will not be coming back.

I went to another dentist my family referred me to for a second opinion as I did not trust her.

Unfortunately, my experiences with the staff were often negative, and at times they came across as dismissive and lacking empathy. When I expressed that I struggle with dental anxiety, I did not feel supported or reassured, which made visits more difficult than they needed to be. Patient care should include not just the procedure itself, but also how patients are treated emotionally. Since switching to another provider, my experience has been significantly more positive. I hope this office takes feedback like this into consideration and works toward improving patient care, would not recommend this dental office with the way their set up is at the moment. Office wasn't clean either, had a dead spider on the floor with dirt so that was definitely the cherry on top!
