Unfortunately still dealing with the damage this place caused and now paying out of pocket at a new dentist to get it fixed because I dont trust the doctors here whatsoever. Needed to get a crown and saw Dr. Rama. He recommended a porcelain crown instead of the regular one covered by my insurance. They said it was $900 but theres a "deal" of $400 off when you sign up for the dental care plan or whatever through County Dental that can be cancelled at anytime. I told him Im a college student and thats pretty pricey for me and Im okay with the insurance covered crown. He insisted the porcelain one was a better option and essentially pressured me into getting that one and said (yes, he really said this to me) "it's a no brainer. Unless upgrading this crown will make you go hungry you should really get this one". I told my mom what happened and she called the office telling them to cancel that $500 crown and give me the regular one. Dr. Rama called me after hours on his personal number to assure me he never pressured me and that "there must have been a misunderstanding". Whatever. I went back to get the permanent crown and he made a big show of generosity that they went ahead and made me the porcelain crown at no charge bc of "the misunderstanding". Cool. He put it in and for a couple weeks afterwards I started tasting a rotten taste near the tooth and I scheduled another appointment bc I was concerned. Dr. Rama took a look and said he was "quite proud of this work" and thought it was a perfect crown and said the taste must be due to my hygiene routine. I got a second opinion at my new dental office where the doctor saw the crown was ill fitting within 5 mins of me sitting in his chair. He said if I had been his patient he would have fixed it the moment I came back. Unfortunately because I wasnt his patient I had to go back to OCD bc I didnt want to pay out of pocket for their mistake. I requested to see a different doctor and saw Dr. Mack who agreed with my new dentist's opinion and "fixed" the crown. However, 2 months later Im experiencing pain, extreme sensitivity and overall issues with that crown. I went back to Dr. Mack to see what was up and was never seen by the doctor. I made an appointment during my lunch break at work and sat in the waiting for for 30 minutes before I had to tell them I need to go back to work. The front desk was always helpful and kind, after waiting 10mins I asked if I was here at the right time and she went to ask the doctor what was taking so long and she let me know they said a few more minutes. I waited 20 more minutes and had to go. Dr. Mack called me on the office number and claimed he "squeezed [me] in" (this is not the case, I made an appointment based on his openings and he was not consulted). Brief conversation in which he evaded any responsibility for my delayed appointment. Im reasonable and understand things dont always go as planned and ideally I wouldnt have had work but thats not realistic for me or a lot of others. I let him know I wont be using that office anymore and feel others should know about this experience.

I saw Dr. Bonelli for a dental emergency. I needed a root canal and I was in tremendous pain…read more During the first visit, Dr. Bonelli, "killed the nerve" and told me I should be "fine" and experience less pain. I was scheduled to come back the next day to complete the procedure. On the way home, after five or more shots of Novocain, I was in MORE pain then when I had arrived. I could not eat anything solid, I was unable to sleep more than 30 minutes and I was taking tylenol and Advil every three hours. When I went back the next day, I explained to Dr. Bonelli about the increased pain. He stated that he would call in a prescription for Ibruprofen and a stronger antibiotic. Dr. Bonelli stated that I would need to be seen by an Endontist, as he could not help me. He patted me on the shoulder and said "good luck" and then the receptionist gave me a manila folder with a paper copy of my X-rays and the information for an endontist. It was after 4PM by this time. The endontist I was referred to was closed, Dr. Bonelli did not send in the medicine that evening, in fact, I had to call the next day to ask again. The medicine was not received by the pharmacy until after 1PM. This dentist does not care about his patients and should retire as it seems as though he is rushing the process and forgetting key elements, such as calling in prescriptions. The receptionist called me today asking about an appointment for a cleaning next week, no mention of the previous incident and I informed them I would not be coming back to that dentist.

Brilliant Technical Care, Undermined by Toxic Office Culture and Shocking Dismissal…read moreOverall Rating: (2 out of 5 Stars) This is a complicated review, spanning several years of specialized care. I must separate the technical expertise of Dr. Rothstein from the administrative and cultural environment of The Smile Place. The 5-Star Dentist: Dr. Rothstein is exceptionally talented and kind. I came to him needing complex work done on a failed permanent bridge after a high school trauma left me without my front teeth. This is a very vulnerable situation, and Dr. Rothstein showed genuine compassion and the highest level of skill, successfully recreating my smile where others could not. If you are looking for cosmetic dentistry or complex restorative work, he is, without question, a genius and one of the best. The 1-Star Staff and Culture: The reason I am compelled to write this is the pervasive atmosphere created by the rest of the staff, from the front desk to the hygienists. While under Dr. Rothstein's care, I overlooked numerous instances of textbook passive-aggressive comments and behaviors directed toward me. As a patient, you quickly learn that getting in to see the doctor, who is truly excellent, takes priority over the unpleasant--and unnecessary--staff drama. It was always clear the office lacked soft skills and professional empathy. The Shocking Dismissal: The relationship ended abruptly and disrespectfully. I had scheduled cleaning appointments for my daughters in May to ensure they were seen before an insurance transition. When my daughters had an unexpected, time-sensitive conflict, I emailed the office the morning of the appointments to apologize for the inconvenience and cancel, and I immediately offered to pay the full cost of the missed slots. (By the way they are both young adults) Two weeks later, I received a certified letter formally dismissing me as a patient from the entire practice. After putting up with years of unnecessary passive-aggressive tension from the office staff, the ultimate irony is being fired as a patient via certified mail because my daughters missed their cleaning appointments--an inconvenience I offered to fully rectify financially. Attempts to reason with the front office post-firing were met with being ghosted. Final Verdict: Dr. Rothstein's talent is 5/5. The patient experience, from the day-to-day interactions to the final, shockingly cold dismissal, is 1/5. If you need great, cosmetic work and are prepared to tolerate a hostile atmosphere and risk being arbitrarily dismissed over a scheduling error, go here. If you value a warm, friendly, and professional environment where you won't be met with passive aggression or an immediate firing over an honest mistake, this is not the place for you.
