    Honestly, the best. Years ago, back in 2013, I sent my dad here on a Groupon to get a cleaning and…read morean idea of how much fixing up his teeth would cost. Dr. Fan sat with him and did many slides of x-rays and wrote out the skeletons of a comprehensive plan to tackle all the issues. My dad then had a separate health crisis and also spent some time abroad. Fast forward to end of 2018, my dad had been living under my care for two years, and I'm adamant he receives regular dental care. I wrestle him back here for a cleaning a month ago. We discover that an old dental bridge is teetering on the edge of collapse. Dr. Fan again devises a full plan that calls for the bridge to be taken out, two teeth removed, and dental implants. Upon learning the cost of such an undertaking, my dad starts to waffle. The day before his first appointment to start the implant process, he shows up to the clinic wanting to negotiate the price down. Dr. Fan took the time to explain to him what he was and wasn't being charged for (actually discounts), and why some materials cost what they do. Instead of being impatient or offended, Dr. Fan provided my dad actual medical advice and care, above and beyond what is required of him. All the front desk people and dental technicians are super nice and friendly. We had a mix-up about payment that was completely my doing. I ran right back after getting home, and in the probably half hour I was gone, they'd already taken all the steps they could on their end to hopefully help resolve the issue. They went through all that trouble even though it was totally not their fault. I have every confidence in the work Dr. Fan does, and I think the clinic is staffed with really caring and kind people. If I didn't have such anxiety that prevents me from "breaking up" with my own dentist, I'd come here myself. Wholeheartedly recommend.

    RUN. . .far and fast all of his work failed and when I say all I mean it it's cost me over $10,000…read moreto fix his work and I'm not even done yet. It's been years and I'm still fixing mistakes because they caused much bigger problems from not being done properly to begin with. Not to mention the insurance fraud he committed on my policy which I didn't find out until my provider denied a claim stating he did the work I never got. I wish I knew what I know now back when I was going here. if you're looking for a scammed an a liar this is your dentist!

    Best dentist ever!! He has been my dentist for the last 7+ years. Appointments are easy to get and…read morehe genuinely cares for his patients. He works with most insurances and will work with you if he is out of network. I like the fact that he does teeth cleaning himself instead of passing it off to a hygienist. The best part of Dr Gardner is that he will not recommend unnecessary procedures or visits. He is conservative with his treatment options and is not focused on maximizing visits and his bill. I totally trust Dr Gardner with my teeth and have recommended him to multiple family and friends.

    Having hated going to the dentist my whole life, and this being my first dentist since moving to…read morePhiladelphia, I was a little wary about my appointment with Dr. Gardner. Immediately, he put me at ease when he personally met me at the front door, and I recognized his personable demeanor. His office is cozy, with a single room for him to work in, but he has all the technology you'll need for your appointments right there. He is extremely easy to talk to, makes you feel comfortable and at home the minute you walk in the door, and he did a wonderful job of teaching me as he was going. I've never had a simple cleaning where my dentist took the time to pull out pictures and teach me about the importance of dental hygiene as Dr. Gardner did. I was extremely pleased with my time here and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist in the Philadelphia area!

    I don't give 1 star lightly, as you'll know if you look at my review history. But I feel compelled…read moreto WARN PEOPLE AWAY. Someone else noted they have been sold to PE, and it is clear they are now pushing unnecessary procedures (more on that at the end) and treating their clients badly. Their 5 star reviews are from years ago, and I would have given them a similar review when I started with them. I began with this practice 3 years ago, and felt confident in Dr Balin. A combination of personal matters and lack of insurance kept me away for ~18 months. When I went back in July, things had clearly changed. I was asked to fill out new patient information, which I found odd, but I'd been away for a while so, ok. Then, despite having done so in the past, they wouldn't file an insurance claim for me, and said I had to do it myself. It requires codes and whatnot that I didn't have. They said they would provide those, and yet I was emailed a copy of my charge receipt, and had to follow up 2x to get the detailed information. I was kept waiting for over 30 mins when I finally approached the reception desk and asked what was happening. Previously someone would have come over to tell me what was going on. I was barely acknowledged (no eye contact whatsoever), and told my hygienist was running behind. Ok, so you have a job you don't like and you're surly, I can understand that. When I finally do get to the treatment room, there is no acknowledgement that I had been kept waiting 45 mins. (there is a reason I'm detailing the wait -- it's not just the poor client relations) I am there for a routine cleaning. I have had very good teeth all my life, and I take good care of them. So she does some xrays, makes comments to herself but not me, then tells me I need scaling and planing, not just a routine cleaning, and they will start it today. I said, I know what that is and I'm surprised I need it, I don't know if my insurance will cover it, and so I don't want to start it today. She calls in Dr Balin, who says yes, it should be done; your teeth are in good condition but there is bacteria up in the gums. She leaves, then the hygienist says ok, we'll get you prepped. And I'm like hold on, I just came in for a cleaning, I'm not prepared to start on anything today, and can you just do the cleaning? She starts getting all emotional, 'it will be my license if we don't treat you properly,' and basically refuses to do the cleaning, raising the chair to get me to leave. And I don't get out of the chair. I tell her again, I came for a cleaning, I was scheduled for a cleaning, and I'd like a cleaning. Then she tells me she is running behind and doesn't have time to do the cleaning. WHAT??? You kept me waiting 45 mins, you (and Dr Balin I assume) have time to get a scaling and planing underway, and now you can't do a routine cleaning? I remain calm and remind her she kept me waiting 45 mins. She then goes back to talk to Dr Balin. I hear whispers, but not what was said. She comes back, total change of personality, all sweetness and light, and does the cleaning. No one follows up with me about scheduling the scaling and planing, nor do they try to schedule another routine exam and cleaning. It was all very strange. I'm finally writing this review because I just got to another dentist (recommended by a friend) who told me there is no way I need a scaling and planing, nor am I having any signs of gingivitis or early periodontal disease. I sent my xrays in advance (thankfully I got them from Rittenhouse Dentists with only 2 phone calls) He noted that my teeth and bone are in excellent condition, gums are healthy and have some recession but that is to be expected 'at my level of maturity' (61yo). He said some practices work the system so they can bill insurance for a more costly procedure that isn't needed. He shook his head and noted that experiences like mine are why people hate dentists. Between his commenst and the other reviewer's discovery of the PE ownership, my experience now makes sense. Do yourself a favor and find a dentist who cares about clients and the dental profession overall, and not just money.

Aside from some…read morevery high fees for some procedures, and some products, the doctor sounded pretty knowledgeable and of course experienced at some holistic subjects that we discussed. I look forward to returning.

    I have to agree with several of the other reviews. I bought groupons for myself and my boyfriend…read more The dentist rushed us thru, told us both we needed over $6,000 in dental work. They tried to get us to sign up for a dental credit card, scared us into buying $100.00 worth of mouth wash. It was the WOREST experience for me and now my boyfriend refuses to see another dentist. Also the keep calling and sending letters to come back for our procedures. REVIEW UPDATE...I thought it was important to yelpers to update my review on this dentist. After my experience here I did find another dentist. I had my new dentist request my X-rays from Dr. Regni, not only did he refuse but called me AGAIN to ask me why I was not coming back to his office. Well Dr. Regni, your "treatment list" had services listed that I NEVER needed. I don't have a cavity and I don't need scaling! Once I saw my new dentist and showed them your price list it is quite evident that you are RIPPING people off. My new dentist is charging me only a few more dollars to pull ALL my wisdom teeth compared to what you were trying to charge me for just one. I could write every issue I had with Dr. Regni, but I think this is enough proof. Please do not contact me ever again! I will be calling your office to pull my patient files.
