Symone S.

After needing to find a dentist last minute to get an emergency fix, I called MediDental and was able to make a same day appointment! Unheard of, I know. I know. I arrived on time, filled out the necessary paperwork with the receptionist and headed to the back. And I was walking to the back, the receptionist advised I could watch Netflix if I was nervous. I received a cleaning, x-rays, and a fix on a filling all under an hour! Unheard of! 9/10 would recommend and they will be seeing me again!

I originally wrote a review, but I felt like it was based more on emotion then my actual experience. I'm truly not happy with this office at all but they do deserved to get reviewed accordingly. For starters this facility is clean and modern and easy to get to by train. The wait time is generally pretty fast and I've never had to wait long to be seen. The main dentist is efficient and gets the job done in a professional manner (highly recommended him). The office manager Daniel is nice and tries to rectify situations the best he can. However, he does gaslight you so be aware of that. Whoever's in charge of the payments truly needs a refresher in customer service. I self-pay, and I bought their in-house discount plan. My first visit I paid way more than I needed to in order to show good faith I was committed. When my bill exceeded a certain amount I asked if they can work with me, and I was met with a hard no without even looking into my account. After much pushback, they finally agreed to work with me.. Second situation I was place with a dentist I didn't request and he did AWFUL work. He had poor bedside manner I left with both sides of my mouth cut from opening It so wide. In addition to that the work he did fell out in less than a year. Unfortunately for me the plan lapsed by a couple days and I was not honored to come in and fix it. I then was put in a position where I had re-purchase the plan in order not to be charged an astronomical price . Moving forward when they fixed it they put the defective dirty one back in my mouth. Not sure if this is normal protocol but it certainly has me concerned of bacteria. Final straw with this place when they booked my appointment incorrectly and wasted my time going there for no reason. After all of these situations, I just decided to cut ties and find a different dentist because let's face is we are in NYC and they are on every corner.

I can't rate GP dental highly enough. The receptionists, technicians, assistants and dentist were…read moreall very nice. They squeezed me in the day I called. I have no dental insurance but it only cost me $25 to be seen and $200 to have my painful wisdom tooth extracted. They offered to clear the doctor's schedule and do my other remaining tooth as well; I refused but really appreciated it. The Dr. also checked in with me to make sure the price was okay. I've had two prior wisdom tooth extractions, one of which was pretty awful and traumatic. This was the quickest, easiest and least painful oral surgery I've had by far. I usually need more novocain than normal; I tell dentists this upfront and often they get weirdly defensive and argumentative about it, but the dentist here thanked me for telling him and gave me a quick double dose without arguing. Those shots always hurt like hell, but the assistant held my hand throughout and they were very careful to take it slow and mind my anxiety. They also let my boyfriend come in for moral support. After getting numbed up, the actual tooth extraction process took less than 45 seconds and was completely painless. My boyfriend and I couldn't believe they did it so quickly--we thought they were just getting started and then they put the gauze in my mouth and sat me up! I can't emphasize enough how quick and easy it was. Less than 24 hrs later, I have *literally* zero pain, swelling or bruising. There were no stitches or antibiotics needed so these guys must really know what they're doing. I'm already eating some foods I didn't think I would have for another three or four days. I will never go to another dentist! Very grateful I found this place.

I have a terrible experience here with my filling done by dr. Alex. I came in here for a cleaning…read moreand was told I have a small cavity. This is also my very first cavity in all 24 years of my life and I trusted my dentist through the whole process. I had my one teeth filled and was experiencing pain and sensitivity but I waited about two weeks to see maybe if it's just my teeth trying to adjust. I made an appointment to go back and get it refilled and a second tooth next to the initial one had been drilled and filled without me knowing beforehand. I was never asked or told before the drilling that another teeth would have been touched in the process. I waited another two weeks after that, still pain and sensitivity. I cannot chew on anything on that side of my mouth. I cannot drink anything that is not room temperature without it triggering a sharp pain in my teeth. I went back again and a temporary filling was put it. Same ordeal, pain and sensitivity. Waited another two weeks and did a scan and was told I still had a bit of cavity that wasn't taken care of the very first time and was assured that this time for sure would be the last time I had to deal with this pain. So some more drilling was done and the temporary filling was put back in. AGAIN pain and sensitivity. I went back one last time and was told that maybe I was just allergic to the filling and a different filling was put in. Not only did it not help, I constantly feel like I have to grind my teeth now. This new filling also came with a lingering discomfort that has been causing me a headache. I will not be coming back here and I for sure do not recommend this place at all. Initially after the first filling was done, I had asked if I could please switch a dentist and I was denied that. This is obviously intentional negligence to not put into consideration what a patient is asking you. This experience is really traumatizing especially for what was told a small filling that took me 5 visits going back and forth. Please always ask for a second opinion about your cavities because this could literally be you. I really wish I have never had my teeth filled or step foot in this place. I can never rest or eat the same again and have to deal with this pain everyday. Please go somewhere else or avoid this place.

When I arrived I was greeted by Leslie she did see my appointment on the schedule. I showed her the email, she looked and saw my appointment request however; It was never actually booked by the manager. Leslie was so nice and very professional. She said she would talk to the doctor to see what can be done because she knew I was in pain. Dr. Dechavez of course accommodated me. I explained all my recent serious health issues that prevented me from seeking care sooner. He was so understanding and caring. Though he could not start the work yet as he had patients waiting. He made sure I was given an appointment to be seen during the week. Dr. Dechavez truly cares for his patients. He really is a superb doctor and most of all a decent human being with core values. I would not go anywhere else.

Everyone who works at the office is extremely friendly, the dental hygienists and doctors make an effort to get to know us and always ask how we've been since the last time we came in. Folks at the office are informative about how to maintain good dental hygiene and are always transparent about costs (if any), I know we're always in good hands when we come in. :) Bonus points for the goodie bags they give us after every appointment & all the jokes and good conversations we have!

I had the fortunate opportunity to be treated by endodontist Dr. Pardis Rajabi at Elida Dental in…read moreElmhurst Queens. She was very professional. She took her time as if there was no one else in the waiting room and there were. She took her time and carefully scrutinized my x-rays and history. I could tell She was focused on me and nothing else which was comforting. She then did a thorough oral exam using various means of testing to confirm the x-rays and identify the precise location of the source of the pain. Teeth are close together, so she was very careful in identifying the exact tooth and gum area. It sounds simple but it is not. She did freeze testing and sensitivity testing as well as tapping each tooth in the area in question. She poked and probed always asking me if I was ok. Her technique was conservative and deliberate. She was cautious but effective. Her communication skills and bedside manner were calming and transparent. She kept you informed and we worked as a team to help me identify the source of the pain and understand what her findings were. Once the target tooth was identified she numbed that tooth and I felt no sting or pain as she administered the injection. It was painless. She waited until the anesthetic took hold and then proceeded asking me to raise my hand if I felt any pain or discomfort. Amazingly there was none. In spite of me not raising my hand she thoughtfully and repeatedly asked me if I was ok. And I was. The tooth was in the very rear and not easy to work on yet she had all the tools and skills to address the problem effectively. The job was done and I was pleased with the total experience. She has great skill sets and temperament so the total experience was more than I expected.

Be sure to KNOW your doctor's name before your visit IF you are actually choosing to come to this…read moreoffice. I definitely recommend AVOIDING this place and going to another facility. Dr. Gavlin is NOT an endodontist and is posing as one. If you need an endodontist, make sure you are seeing Dr. Adam Hariri, Dr. Pardis Rajabi, or Dr. Steven Kale. I had a referral for an endodontist, and, thus, made an appointment with an endodontist. Upon visiting the office, Dr. Gavlin immediately told me I needed to extract my tooth and would need a bone and post and crown as well as some kind of membrane because my infected root canal had traveled to my sinus. I was given this opnion even BEFORE he saw a CT scan. I was told I needed a CT scan to see if my infection traveled to my sinus. I asked Dr. Gavlin about the alternative (which my dentist had informed me of: a root canal retreatment). My goal in seeing an endodontist was to save the tooth, not extract it. If I sought to extract it, I would've gone to a surgeon. Gavlin gave me the WORST case determination BEFORE even seeing a CT scan. I paid $350 for the CT scan, as I was told my insurance does not cover it. After seeing the CT scan, Dr. Gavlin still insisted the tooth need to be extracted, even after I insisted on a retreatment option, which he said was not an option. His office made me an appointment with their surgeon for extraction. Because he gave me a worst case determination before seeing the CT scan, I immediately did NOT trust Dr. Gavlin. With this, I researched him and learned of his fraudulent nature from the reviews (and later discovered that he was sued in 2020 by the Health Department and Medicaid and had to pay them back $21k). I then went to research the surgeon. I looked for his name on my appointment card, and upon looking for his name, I came across Dr. Gavlin's name. Dr. Gavlin is listed as a Myofascial Pain and Sleep Disorder doctor. With this, I called the office to ask WHY I was given an appointment with Dr. Gavlin who is NOT an endodontist, and I was told I could be given an appointment to see an actual endodontist. My question went unasnwered, so I asked again and I was told that I wads given the appointment with him because he is the owner! I made the appointment with the actual endodontist, Dr. Adam Hariri, so that I could get an actual opinion, but more importantly, so that I could retrieve a copy of my CT scan and X-rays. I asked Dr. Hariri if Dr. Gavlin is an endodontist, and I was told no. I informed Dr. Hariri of my experience and told him I would listen to his opinion but that ultimately I would be wanting a copy of my CT scan so that I can go elsewhere, as my trust in their facility had been violated by my experience with Dr. Gavlin. Dr. Hariri informed me that retreatment was possible and apologized as I had been given "the runaround." I have no complaints about Dr. Hariri. I visited another endodontist, Dr. Ryan at Island Dental Associates in Franklin Square NY, who also informed me that retreatment is an option and said that the infection had NOT spread to my sinus. I submitted my complaint to my insurance provider as well as to the NYS Dental Association (LIntrieri@nysdental.org). The NYS Dental Association responded: "We found that Dr. ­­­­­David Gavlin is not a current tripartite member with the American Dental Association (ADA), the New York State Dental Association (NYSDA) or their local dental society. Membership with the Association is voluntary and is not a requirement to be a licensed dentist in New York State. To discuss your complaint further, please contact the New York State Education Department's Office of Professional Discipline at 800-442-8106 or conduct@nysed.org." I thus, also sent my complaint to the NYS Education Department (conduct@nysed.gov). I also reached out to multiple lawyers about Personal Injury but was unsuccessful as I had not sustained physical injury. I was informed that I should look into small claims court to sue for my "Pain and suffering' for my time lost and mental strain my experience had caused. Here is the link to the 2020 case: https://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid/decisions/docs/gavlin_dds_04-20-2020.pdf
