Watch out. Whoever does the booking of appointments doesn't know what plans they insure. You may be stuck paying your whole bill.

Excellent work! My teeth look beautiful! Watch out for (1) up sell and (2) billing practices. Left…read morepractice when dental hygienist tried to convince me I needed a $1500 deep cleaning as gums tender from chemo/radiation. Sought second opinion and glad I did! Recovered well with regular cleaning! Still wonder about the doctor's oversight of staff. Should the doctor not have reviewed and approved the recommended $1500 treatment? Another point of dissatisfaction has to do with billing. Paid in full ($3500) for Invisalign. Insurance, surprise, contributed $800, paid directly to Dr. Lothamer. Refused to refund the $800; had to use it as "credits" for teeth cleanings (I typically do not services beyond cleaning.) Guess that is one way to keep a client!

I came to Dr. Lothamer after reading good reviews about his dental work. I moved and needed a new…read moredentist and I had a cleaning and needed two other visits for filling replacements (that I already knew about) and I have no complaints and he does do good dental work. My problem with the office and one star review is that I was NEVER told by the rude receptionist (his wife) that they are out of network for my insurance (United Healthcare) and I was going to see Dr. Lothamer specifically for filling replacements that would cost me a lot of money out of pocket if they are out of network and I got a $700 bill after the work was done. I would have looked elsewhere for an in network dentist if the receptionist was upfront about being out of network. Long story short, his wife submitted the claims to my insurance incorrectly so that the entire claim check would be sent to our home instead of their office and we would have to deposit a check and then go and pay the dentist the entire claim amount. (I have never experienced this type of claim payment). The check was lost in the mail and I had to spend a lot of time on the phone with the insurance to reissue the lost check. While communicating this to the receptionist that it will be about 30-60 days until the insurance mails a $2,500 check, she tells me that I better pay immediately or I will be sent to collections or small claims court. I do not have the funds to pay the total claim amount and it was 100% her fault for filing the claim incorrectly in the first place and my personal amount owed I was $700. I'm not one to complain or leave bad reviews but the receptionist was very defensive, rude, and screamed on the phone and then said "we will see you in small claims court" and hung up. I did read reviews of how awful the receptionist was but didn't think much of it because she isn't the dentist and only handles the scheduling and accounting. Please understand that I am an even keeled person and the receptionist is very defensive and blame shifts and appears to be very narcissistic about taking accountability for her mishandling of my claim and I will now be searching for an in network office. Dr. Lothamer is great but his wife (receptionist) is awful!

I came to Dr. Geleris after years of smoking and not taking the best care of my teeth, and the…read moredifference in my smile has been incredible. Over the course of treatment, I went through Invisalign, professional whitening, and ultimately two veneers on my front teeth. What stood out to me throughout the entire process was the level of care, attention to detail, and professionalism from Dr. Geleris and his entire team. Cosmetic work is extremely personal, and they took the time to listen to what I wanted, work through the details with me, and make sure the final result looked natural rather than overdone. The entire staff was consistently welcoming, responsive, and professional at every appointment. I never felt rushed, and it was clear that everyone genuinely cared about getting the best possible result. I'm extremely happy with how everything came together. My teeth look dramatically better while still looking like my teeth, which was exactly what I wanted. I've attached before-and-after photos because I think the results speak for themselves. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Geleris and his team to anyone considering Invisalign or cosmetic dental work.

I cannot describe the incredible level of care and perfection of Dr Jonathan Geleris! I'm so…read moreimmensely grateful that he was able to help me when I had a dental emergency (within 30 min of calling - on a weekend!) no words! Thank you so much. Just the best.
