Geeezz !!!! That Robert T. guy from Lake Placid must have been under the effect off "second hand" Nitrous Oxide [Laughing Gas] !!!! I believe he HAD TO HAVE just confused dental practices somehow !!!
I can certainly empathize with a father's concern about "bogus fillings" having a 12 year old son myself.
My whole family has been under the care of Dr. Dunkling for 5 years now!
My 12 year old is currently in long term orthodontist care recently requiring 5 BABY TEETH EXTRACTIONS to make room for the permanent teeth trying to "sprout" and causing "mayhem" in the mouth with "crowding" and "crooked" teeth!
Well, Dr. Dunkling just did ALL 5 EXTRACTIONS SIMULTANEOUSLY YESTERDAY mid afternoon and the kid is IN SCHOOL TODAY !!!
This Doctor IS THE BEST DENTIST I HAVE EVER HAD in my 65 years opening my mouth in a dental chair !!!
I came to him 5 years ago after my dentist retired and the dentist who bought that practice recommended that I see an orthodontist, DR. Chaira in Burlington. I found out later Dr. Chaira was a mentor to this young dentist [who succeeded my previous dentist who also had just received her doctorate].
Well after 6 months or so with an OUT OF POCKET INVESTMENT of $4000+ invested [lacking any kind of payment plan to boot that dramatically drained our savings], there was a BIG FAT ZERO result after a bucket load of of diagnostics and an "APPLIANCE" that kept "failing" [the simple physics of such couldn't have possibly worked trying to replace 2 molar spaces [that were extracted years before due to a failed root canal that caused a 6 year sinus infection in the process], that even broke in my mouth [without chewing] AND I SWALLOWED IT !!!
Distraught, suffering with chronic TMJ pain ergo chronic headache, I turned to Dr. Paul Dunkling for help!
It was too late for implants without surgery due to the fact the sinus floor had "dropped down" on the upper right inside of my mouth with no teeth there to keep the sinus cavity in place.
Dr. Dunkling designed a custom designed "partial" denture to the rescue, filling in that gap, that I wear to this day relieving the TMJ pain and therefor lessoning the intensity of the chronic headache [ I suffer with other non dental related symptoms from a long term chronic illness].
In the complete process of Dr. Dunkling's DENTAL RECONSTRUCTION, including teeth bonding and needed crown replacements and additions; over about a year or so [subsidized by our dental insurance and Dr. Dunkling's Care Credit option payment plan WITHOUT INTEREST when paid off in full within a year or so]
I AM ECSTATICALLY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS AND WORKING WITH DR. DUNKLING, HIS ENTIRE STAFF, AND HIS OFFICE ENVIRONMENT !!!
5 Stars IS NOT ENOUGH !!! I have been a dental patient while living in 3 different states employing a multitude of Dentists! I have been living in Vermont for 22 years seeing healthcare practitioners in western, eastern, "northern and southern", allopathic, alternative, integrated, and complementary practices !!!
Not only is PAUL DUNKLING THE BEST DENTIST I HAVE EVER HAD, BUT THE BEST DOCTER I HAVE EVER KNOWN AND AN OUTSTANDING HUMAN BEING !!!
DR. Paul Dunkling and his staff's care, concern, compassion, empathy, and professionalism is a CREDIT TO NOT ONLY THE PROFESSION OF DENTISTRY, BUT TO MEDICINE IN GENERAL !!!
I am a well seasoned, experienced "professional patient" in the greater Burlington, VT area extending to New Hampshire and NYC for treatment for a life threatening illness.
In this age of a capitalized, hijacked healthcare system; the more than common indifference displayed by a plague of Dr. god's, whose attitudes too often view a patient with less empathy than a mechanic trouble shooting an engine problem.
DR. DUNKLING IS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR REMINISCENT OF "OLD SCHOOL JUST GIVING A DAM" AND STANDS IN MY VIEW, AS AN EXAMPLE HOW DOCTORS "SHOULD BE" IN EXPERTISE, BED SIDE MANNER, AND PROFESSIONALISM IN GENERAL !!!!
By the by, I write very little reviews about anything and anyone. I felt absolutely compelled to write this one.
I have repeatedly said to Dr. Dunkling and his staff over the years, "If you have to go to the dentist-THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO !!!
My family and I are very fortunate to be cared for by Dr. Dunkling and his staff !!! God bless you !!!
You would be wise to select Dr. Dunkling's practice for you and your family's dental needs. I promise you, you will also consider yourself fortunate as my family and I do !!!!
Sincerely,
