He informed me about how to improve my daily care in order to stop cavities and gingivitis. I came from another dentist who would just scold and say "you need to floss more". Every 6 months I came in with yet another cavity. After seeing Dr. Knapp the first time and listening to his advice, I haven't had a cavity since!! My favorite line of his goes something like, "I want you to make my job easier". The better I can take care of my teeth, the easier and quicker he can get his job done. The first appointment I had with him lasted about an hour due to the mini consultation. After that, from the time I would enter and leave the office, I would be there for about 30 mins. Very quick and very efficient!

When it comes to my teeth, I am a perfectionist. My friend recommended Dr. Knapp, and I now see…read morewhy. He is a truly amazing dentist. He is very intelligent. He actually takes the time to explain why you need your dental work to be done. He has even said to me "if you don't understand why you need the work that I am doing, then you shouldn't be in my chair". I am absolutely thrilled with the work that he has done, and I am very happy to have found a dentist that I can trust.

Pain-free, gentle dental care is what you get w/ Dr. Gusmano and his staff! My teeth feel so clean and smooth right now...that I had to write a review....PS I've been to other dentists in Florida and California, and Nobody else that I've been to can compare to the care that I receive here...They are just simply amazing! With or without dental insurance this is the only place I would go from now on...I'd rather fly back to NY for my cleanings and dental exams than go to anyone else... FYI - If you do have a cavity that needs to be filled, they use laughing gas through a pleasant smelling nose mask and then apply a topical numbing agent, and then they do the numbing injection in that same spot - which doesn't hurt at all, so when you get work done in your mouth, you might hear it, but you don't feel pain...and they fill cavities with a white filling, so you can't even really tell where you had a cavity, so your teeth still look great! Hope this helps ease your fears if you're one of those that are scared of the dentist. This dentist office is definitely for you!

We've been going to this dentist office for almost 20 years, and it's with a heavy heart that I say…read moreI can no longer recommend this place. My youngest daughter got a referral from her orthodontist for 2 extractions (baby teeth that never fell out on their own, braces time). At the first appointment they needed me there as her mother, totally understandable. She brought her older sister, 29, along instead since she's her comfort person and dentists make her nervous. I took a day off work for her next appointment, not knowing if she might be in a lot of pain, but instead the doctor wanted to speak with her orthodontist first. Another wasted day off. We complied and helped set up that conversation. They agreed the dentist would do the extractions and then also install her brackets, which we later found out after speaking with our insurance makes more sense financially for them since extractions alone don't pay as well through insurance. Then we waited over a month, having to call the office ourselves just to find out if insurance had approved anything. Understandable that processing takes time, but frustrating that we had to keep chasing them for updates, especially since this office used to communicate so well. We finally got an appointment almost 6 months out. Meanwhile her orthodontist had already started wires and brackets on her other teeth and was just waiting on us to get this done. On August 17th we got a call saying there was an opening sooner, so we jumped on it. I took yet another day off. We showed up and waited over 45+ min before I finally asked the front desk what was going on. Turns out we'd simply been forgotten, again understandable, people make mistakes. But once we were finally seen, we were told nothing could be done because they never ordered the supplies needed for the bracket installation. All that time, all that stress on my daughter, for nothing. The doctor kept saying he wasn't sure what happened since it's not really his office (they rotate a few different doctors through who are only there once a week or a couple times a month, and it shows). I asked to speak with him and the office manager and no one took any responsibility. It turned into finger pointing, and their solution was to reschedule yet again and suggest I just find a new orthodontist. The worst part was that all of this played out in front of my daughter, who was already anxious about this procedure looming over her for the third time. Watching the adults around her act unprofessional only made her more convinced something was actually wrong with her teeth. For context, this office was acquired by Dental Care Alliance about a year ago (not sure exact time), and it's gone downhill since. Prices jumped noticeably, which we accepted since we know that's often out of an individual office's hands. But they've also lost a HUGE amount of staff this past year, especially at the front desk, and I think that's a big part of why things have fallen apart. Profits shouldn't come at the expense of patients. You lost staff and now you are losing patients. This used to be a place with some of the most knowledgeable, experienced doctors around, run like a well-oiled team. I can't say that anymore. It feels like corporate greed took over and hollowed it out. One bright spot: the hygienists here are still some of the kindest, most professional people you'll meet. If you end up in their chair, you're lucky. They are the only reason this wasn't a 1 star review, you'll probably see tons of positive reviews for them. Just don't expect the same from the rest of the experience anymore.

Recently I was surfing the Internet and came across a quote from Abraham Lincoln: he said…read more"Anything you read on the Internet is absolutely true." If you can't believe "Honest Abe"; Who can you believe? From the rating websites he must be the greatest Dentist that ever lived. One website has 140 star ratings only 5 stars. Another website has 83 ratings, only 5 stars. Most are non-specific. One says "brilliant Dentist" and that was written by someone with the last name Shifteh. Did you ever hear of fake news? The ratings are on the Internet, they must be absolutely true. So why my one star rating? I can't go by anyone's ratings but by my own experience. I have an infected tooth under a 7 tooth bridge. Shifteh told me not only that tooth but all the live teeth under the bridge must be pulled and replaced with implants. I am talking of tens of thousands of dollars. I took antibiotics and it felt better. Months later, when it became reinfected, I went back to him. He tersely told me "I am non compliant" because I didn't have the teeth pulled. I told him if it was only 1 free standing tooth, I would have had it pulled immediately I went to an Oral Surgeon for a second opinion. The Oral Surgeon (Simpson see review) refused to talk to me. He said he talked to Shifteh and Shifteh has to talk to me. After numerous calls Shifteh never got back to me. Most of the time the receptionist would say "He's busy now, and would call you when he has a chance. He never has a chance. Is it possible everything on the Internet (including ratings) may not be true? Don't take my word for it, go by your own experiences.

There's a small parking lot in the back, but usually enough spaces for everyone as long as you arrive near your appointment time. He's been my family dentist for about 20 years. He's honest, smart and does a great job. Dr. Chapman has helped us through fillings, crowns and basic exams. I trust him. I've experienced and left other dentists that just seem to want money and don't seem to care about patients. Dr. Chapman is nothing like that, which is why we've been coming here for 20 years. Appointment times are flexible with a variety of slots available, depending on the day of the week (evening hours, lunch). Visit times for basic cleanings and exams varies. My family members usually seem to be in and out in 30 minutes. For me, for some reason, I'm often here for an hour... Just waiting. I do wish it could be a more streamlined experience. Otherwise, I'm really happy here.

Fraudulent and dishonest practice. Hygienist tries to convince you to get "treatments" which are…read morenot needed or covered by insurance. Even submits claims for fraudulent treatments. For instance, sprayed gums under bridge with an antiseptic (not injected into gums) claiming you have an abscess and then charges $75. Could have done the same thing rinsing mouth or even more effectively putting antiseptic in my water pic. Then the practice claims you had periodontic treatment and insists you are getting deep cleanings ongoing afterwards which are not covered. The cleaning is exactly the same as it was previously. Dr Rothstein and office staff unwilling to resolve because they know it is fraud. They all did me a favor being so blatantly dishonest because it prompted me and my family to move on to an excellent, compassionate and honest dental practice. If you get the feeling something is wrong, move on, there are so many dental practices to consider.
