Review #458 "First To Review" Ending 2023 Plus…read moreI Was First To Tip In - 2019 Friday, December 29, 2023 After moving to this area in 1992, I became a patient with David M. Kaminski in 1995, and have been Smiling since! He is a local, personable, professional and caring dentist to Me and all his patients. He practices General Dentistry, Cosmetic, Implant Restoration, Crowns, and Endodontics and uses Digital Imaging and Radiographs for Ex-rays. David Kaminski is a member of the Macomb Dental Society and Michigan Dental Association. He accepts Delta Dental, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Cigna Insurances. His office is located in the Country Meadows Shopping Plaza and inside the Professional Building at 16700 21 Mile Rd., Suite #108 of Macomb. Dental Hours are on Tuesday and Thursday 8:30 AM - 6:30 PM and on a Saturday once a month. He also has another location in Warren, Michigan during the week with hours on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. His staff is pleasant, knowledgeable and shows a strong professionalism every 6 months when I step in and out of his office. After My teeth are examined, cleaned, ex-ray and flossed by Lisa, Dr. Kaminski steps in the room to also check over my teeth and we always chat about the Red Wings Hockey Team. He knows left winger Justin Abdelkader. (Photo of his autographed Jersey attached) :-) Joanne and Pat are cheerful at the front desk and Lisa has been a great and precise Dental Hygienist to keep My teeth and gums healthy and clean. After a check-up and cleaning I always receive a bag filled with a new toothbrush, toothpaste and container of floss, which helps Me to "Keep on Brushing, Flossing and Smiling Morning, Noon & Night !" I highly recommend David M. Kaminski along with his delightful staff at this Dental Office! So Sorry I didn't write My 5 star Review sooner being a pleased and satisfied patient!

Dr. Kaminski has sold his practice to Ruffino & Whitford Dentistry. I have been seeing Dr…read more Kaminski since 2010 and would continue to highly recommend him; but now I needed to see Dr. Ruffino's part of the practice. I saw Dr. Kaminski in this new practice on January 8 and February 10 of this year. Both times, I had dental pain and asked Dr. Kaminski to x-ray my teeth. The last time I saw Dr. Kaminski, I asked him to perform a whole-mouth x-ray session; however, Dr. Kaminski only had time to x-ray three teeth and told me that the full-mouth would be completed during my upcoming dental cleaning with the new dentist's technician. As I was leaving, Angela, the receptionist asked me to pay for the full-mouth of dental x-rays when I actually had only three teeth x-rayed. I told her that I would begin a six-week regimen of radiation therapy shortly and did not know when I would be able to have the dental cleaning. She charged me for the complete mouth of x-rays anyway and submitted the claim to my dental insurance. I have telephoned Dr. Kaminski's office in December before Chrismas and asked to speak to him. Angela would not connect me. I do not know if she relayed the message to Dr. Kaminski. I have telephoned Dr. Kaminski's office several times in 2025 to speak to him. Each time, Angela said she would take a message. I telephoned Angela earlier this week to speak to Dr. Kaminski; Angela told me I must come into the office in person to speak to Dr. Kaminski if I wished to speak to him. I reminded her again that I could not come in to speak to him in person because my car is totaled; each time I was driven to an appointment in Dr. Kaminski's office, I was charged $ 200 for the round trip. In her ususal huffy/puffy voice, Angela again told me that I could speak to Dr. Kaminski in person. Dr. Kaminski seems to have more protection from phone calls than the president of the United States. He has never returned my calls. Today I telephoned my dental insurance company. They agent informed me that I was charged for a full mouth of x-rays, which I never received, on both January 8 and February 10 of this year, although only three teeth were x-rayed. As soon as I receive a copy of these statements, I shall call the Better Business Bureau to discuss this matter. It is truly sad that Dr. Kaminski chooses to continue to work as a dentist in this new practice. His idealic reputation is being ruined by his telephone body guard.

I have been a patient of Dr. Antolak's for 7 years now. And there is a reason why I originally…read moreseeked him out. His name. "The Gentle Dentist" I had previously had issues with a few dentists that claimed to be the same... they would take care of you, make sure you were as comfortable as possible. Well, that wasn't the case at the other places that I had tried out for being a dentist. To be frank, I have a horrific fear of going to the dentist. Why that is? I have no idea... maybe its the fact that for some reason its painful... you're vulnerable... you're trusting those other people to do what they need to do so that you can continue being able to eat and do it without having any pain in life. From my first meeting with Dr. Antolak, I knew that this was going to be a completely different experience than any other dentist office I had ever been to. He sits down with you, gets to know you, actually listens to everything that you are worried, concerned, or that you have questions about. He will explain everything in terminology that you can understand, and he does everything in his power to make sure you're comfortable. The staff themselves are amazing. They remember you, they know your personal details, but most of all they put your dental health in front of everything else... They don't suggest having work done that isn't necessary. Another key reason why I had found Dr. Antolak is that he has been trained in Sedation Dentistry. Basically it is summed up that if you have fear of going to the dentist, have had bad experiences, or have severe anxiety like myself... they can provide you with medicine that will allow you to 'sleep' through your appointment. You go in, take some medicine, get all relaxed, lay back in the chair.... and then that is it. Everything is done. I could probably sit here for a while and rave about how kind and friendly everyone at the office is, but I would say that if you are in the search for a dentist... Dr. Antolak should be at the top of your list of dentists to check out in the area.

Missing authentic human element. Office staff is compiled of people jamming emails, text messages,…read morepasswords, logins, and iPads in your face. I get "paperless," but come on now! When I called to make an appointment for my husband and I, I told them I didn't want passwords and logins for anything. I was originally told that wouldn't be a problem. 20 minutes later, I start getting calls and texts demanding our emails. Even though, I didn't want to communicate with email I called them back with it. I still received SEVERAL phone calls and text messages about them wanting my email. It was very high pressure! Not a "gentle" experience. It was as invasive as a door to door sales that pushed their way into your front door and wouldn't leave. I called to let the office know that the new patient forms indeed required additional logins and passwords. Instead of offering an alternative solution, the rude staff said "well then this isn't for you." I guess it's the right office for you if you enjoy high pressure, constant harassing contact via EVERY form of communication without stopping and if you collect usernames and passwords. This office is the very definition and experience of why many people don't use their dental insurance.

We saw reviews on Yelp for this nearby dentist and decided to come on in. I am a huge dental-chicken but I will definitely be going here after I witness how they treated my mom. The work was quick, excellent and priced fair. What I really liked were how nice the people were! Every single person that you have to interact with were kind, knowledgeable and understanding. The actual office environment is very inviting & bright with books and artifacts to put you at ease. I found the music to be a bit loud in the waiting room but I'm sure if I said something they would have toned it down. DDS, Ray McKinley wrote a fascinating book; you can read it or purchase it while you are in the office.

Started off good with filling a bad…read moretooth that my original dentist recommend the tooth being pulled and suggested a surgical extraction - I went to McKinley - Holloway she said she could fill the tooth - which I agreed to. Then they did all kinds of procedures that I didn't approve of - thousands of dollars of work was recommended. I told them I didn't approve any of these procedures done. I was given a credit and later had a tooth filled and a different tooth pulled. So the credit I had was used up. I went to a new Dentist this week they did X-rays etc and found two teeth that need to be removed and recommended another Dental Surgeon which I met with today. The charges for the two teeth is going to be less than I paid for one with McKinley. So in closing - the prices of McKinley is way to high and appear to only want to do expensive procedures. Very disappointing. I will say this the Dentist did do a good job as far as the removal of the tooth. Unfortunately the tooth she filled is now one of the teeth that will have to be pulled so I wasted a lot of money having it filled.

Every single time I come here I always have a problem. The very first time I got my teeth cleaned here the lady who did them was very aggressive, rude, and I got the impression she just wanted to leave and be done with me. The second time I got a lady who CONSTANTLY was breathing in my face and being very loud with it. My mouth hurt the entire time from her destroying my gums. She seemed inexperienced. I have had many teeth cleanings and 1 cavity my entire life and the two times I went to this dentist it has been miserable.

I knew that the practice had expanded over the years and that they had offices in Clinton Township and Shelby Township.

I was able to get a noon appointment the very next day. I found the office along Garfield Road a couple buildings north of 19 Mile. Parking was easy and they were ready for me when I arrived. Soon I would be walking out with my pearly whites all smooth and polished. The care I received was every bit as good as I could have expected. Appointments are highly recommended.
