I recently switched to The Silverstrom Group after 27 years with my family dentist and I am very…read morehappy that I did! I can't believe I waited so long to make the switch! Their extended hours in evenings and on Saturday make it much easier for me to get an appointment and the service was very personal and professional. My exam was the most thorough I have ever had and I left the office feeling very refreshed. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Gary and I could tell he really had my best interests in mind. I would highly recommend Dr. Gary Silverstrom! I had my second appointment with Dr. Gary Silverstrom over the weekend and was once again very happy with the service. I was seen promtly and he filled a cavity with great care and attention. I was able to happily get back to my Saturday without any interruption!

You can see the numerous negative Yelp reviews of his practice, which describe what this business…read moreis about. It's about squeezing as much money from you as possible. This is just an example of what he does. My daughter was in there for a routine checkup. He noticed a cavity. Stated that nothing can be really done at her age, and then proceeded to apply a temporary "paste". Probably took 5 seconds. Didn't ask. Later, I found he charged $200 for this (on top of all the other charges). They have a dedicated office in which you sit down and their finance manager will try to convince you to pay extremely inflated prices for unnecessary work. It's insane. Do yourself a favor and heed the other reviews about this business.

Eh I suppose you can't expect much from a dentist that is in the shopping mall but it has been here…read morefor years so they must be doing something right? The reception staff is generally nice but they're often distracted and don't look professional, I'm all for confortable work attire and don't expect all of them to wear scrubs but tore up jeans and tshirt or a casual top doesn't send a very good impression. The waiting room is no good. Fits maybe 6-8 people comfortably and most of the time its a family with kids so there is half the waiting room right there. Why no benches outside?? Wait time is what you'd expect. Long but if its a crowded day get ready to stand, but not too far away so you can hear your name called. The actual doctors I suppose are alright as I've only brought clients here for treatment, but there seems to be so much turnover I don't even know if that matters. Eh the good thing is they seem to take a lot of insurance, but as far as practices go, there is probably better.

If I was to summarize my experience of the dentist here last month in one sentence - "A factory…read morewhere you are a transaction, lack empathy and professionalism, money hungry and forget the Hippocratic Oath without guilt." I took my 92+ year old father for a denture adjustment. The dentist did not even touch the denture in 25 mins we were there (no exaggeration). Lured us in with a promise to adjust the denture for $50 (I was willing to pay), and did nothing. Instead, she had an attitude, claimed there was an infection (none existed when seen by a competent dentist and a periodontist subsequently), refused to even take the denture out of the mouth citing "liability", wanted e to sign a liability waiver (never happened). Instead, took an unnecessary x-ray alleging an infection (probably realized no adjustment mean no money from me, so made up a cause for xray) and that was it. Incompetent, unprofessional money hungry opportunists who forgot the purpose of medical science. Stay clear of this factory. Let me remind the dentist once again.... the sacred oath of Socrates for medical sciences. ".....I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and judgment, but never with a view to injury and wrong-doing. ...Into whatsoever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick, and I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm, especially from abusing the bodies of man or woman, bond or free. And whatsoever I shall see or hear in the course of my profession, as well as outside my profession in my intercourse with men, if it be what should not be published abroad, I will never divulge, holding such things to be holy secrets. Now if I carry out this oath, and break it not, may I gain for ever reputation among all men for my life and for my art; but if I break it and forswear myself, may the opposite befall me." Don't even bother to visit if you want professional and competent dentist who will assist you in your troubles.
