Well, let me tell you the experience with Dr. Kamp was a very positive experience. Everyone in the office was so nice and so caring. The hygienist was amazing and so informative. Dr. Kamp was kind and checked on me several times throughout my visit. He, in my opinion is one of the best dentists in Ithaca, NY. I highly recommend him! Unfortunately he isn't covered with my dental care, but I would rather spend the extra on a positive experience than save a few dollars on a negative one.

Im not the only person that reports unnecessary treatment. I highly recommend Gorges - very modern, professional and first x-rays are free! This place isn't a dental clinic -- it's a financial model with chairs. Ithaca, you should know better. First red flag? I asked about a chipped tooth, and instead of addressing it, the hygienist told me to "check with the front desk because they were short-staffed." (?!) That's not passing the buck -- that's trying to collect another one. The hygienist reminded me more than once about being short-staffed and made my gums sound like a crime scene. Evidently I'm the only one not getting an "A" for flossing. The dentist didn't touch a single instrument -- just had me open and close my jaw and called it an exam. Must have been using x-ray vision. On top of that, they overlooked a cavity previously noted in my chart. When I asked if the doctor would examine it, I was told -- not kidding -- "no, the doctor is done and gone." My cleaning wasn't even finished, and guess what? I still got the bill. And here's the kicker -- an elderly woman named Jean, clearly hard of hearing, almost had her appointment canceled because she didn't respond fast enough in the waiting room. I had to step in so she wouldn't be turned away. That told me everything: this office runs on throughput and billing, not care. I had a wonderful relationship with my prior practice in Austin for 10 years and never once experienced anything this careless. I cannot be the only one noticing this. Ithaca deserves a whole lot better.

The care they provide is genuine, and they will do whatever they can to make you comfortable. I've even been offered a blanket and a foot massage! Unfortunately, with Integrative Oral Health, you have to apply through Medicare to recoup the money you pay for the visit. Unfortunately, Excelles won't reimburse the full amount. The dentist's receptionist will apply for the reimbursement on your behalf. We also apply ourselves because the forms didn't get through the system a few times. I have tried the other dentists listed by Excelles, and I was NOT happy with their service. One tried to pull out my bridge and said I needed a deep cleaning, which wasn't true. The other dentist called me the day before my appointment (that took months to get) and cancelled on me, saying the hygienist wouldn't be in that day!!! I was not very happy! I felt like I was on an assembly line with these dentists. I would definitely recommend Integrative Oral Health because they don't jerk you around, but treat you with respect.

I paid over $800 for a gloss that fell out after two weeks. It's been a year now and the tip repair has fallen out, too. I had a partial plate with six teeth built for almost $2K. I can't wear it. It gives me a speech impediment. She said, "Oh, just read the newpaper outloud." There is so much plastic I can't find my alveolar ridge to form an l, n, d, or t. There is even plastic on the back surface of the upper front teeth, that I can't form an Italian l either. I'm a voice professional and must be able to perform in Italian, French, and English as well as demonstrate to my students.

Just like so many others have experienced. I got fed up & demanded my deposit back for a root canal. They lied, hesitated, told me "refund is on it's way" & other stall tactics. Meanwhile I had to have another dentist repair her shitty work, costing me near $1500 out-of-pocket. After 7 months, they still refused to return my deposit...she could not fill 2 cavities properly, no way I was going to trust her with a root canal. Finally, I walked into the office & through "vivid imagery" explained to them it would be in our mutual best interest to return my deposit within 72 hrs. I had waited long enough & suffered due to her incompetency, not to mention the financial loss. Within one day I got a call from them informing me, "I could pick up a check for my full deposit or have them mail it to me". All I will say is, "Folk value their health over $". That was nearly 20 yrs ago! Yet I read she has not became any better of a dentist or person. So, please consider this -- they were bad then & still are just as bad.

I was told the new patient x-ray would be free after asking, and despite repeatedly saying I didn't want it, they said it was required. I eventually agreed, only to receive a $200 bill in the mail for the very thing they insisted wouldn't cost anything. The X-ray process itself didn't inspire much confidence. The technician had to reposition the machine many different times before getting a usable image, which made the whole situation feel even less professional. When I finally saw the dentist, all I needed was my bridge re-glued - an easy, relatively inexpensive fix. Instead, I was quoted $600, which felt ridiculous for something so simple. The entire appointment dragged on for about two hours, and I left with nothing resolved except a bill I hadn't planned on and regret over handing them my social security number. Even though this visit wasn't recent, the experience was memorable for all the wrong reasons. If transparency and competent care are important to you, I would suggest looking anywhere else.

The care team listened, took their time, and never made me feel rushed. The atmosphere was modern, clean, and relaxed. Staff encouraged and reinforced positive habits rather than shaming anyone for what they "should" be doing -- a huge difference compared to other places. The first set of x-rays was essentially free (saving me hundreds), which stunned me. Both the dentist and hygienist were thorough, careful, and patient. This is how dentistry should feel: professional, compassionate, and centered on care -- not billing. I highly recommend Gorges Dentistry to anyone in Ithaca looking for quality dental care.
