After making & confirming my cleaning, the day before my appointment a very nasty lady called from home with a kid screaming in the background telling me I had a balance unpaid for over 5 years! Someone was having a bad day and decided to take it out on me. I was not so nice with someone and may be there was a balance but I didn't now! Went to a new dentist in Elizabeth and thank g-d, I'm very satisfied, I'm not paying cash anymore and will keep my receipt. I don't have insurance, today I just paid $6500.00 for a bridge. Dr Nunez still has that person on staff, she's now in the office, good luck if you have to deal with her on a bad day.

For the last few years, since they got my cell phone, I get text messages from their phone number asking me to come back. When I call, they insist that they are not contacting me. The office manager gaslit me to tell me "No we are not calling you" while calling me from the number that I am getting texts from. I told her - maybe they put my number into an AI driven communications system and she was dismissive and extremely rude. If they're so poorly managed with their communications, how badly do you think they're managed with their care or their billing? I would avoid this practice at all costs.

There is no one I would trust other than Montclair South Dental. I have very bad anxiety, and for anyone who feels the same, this is the best dentist for you! The doctors and staff are all fantastic! Vicky and Oni at the front desk are always welcoming, and helpful when looking for payment plans. The entire Azar family is wonderful, and you can tell they care about their patients. Dr. Josh and Sha-ron are amazing dentists and make the visit as painless as possible. Even consoling me when I cry in the waiting room. They are second to none! I have never EVER felt like they were trying to make a sale or upsell an unnecessary procedure. I know this because they are always forefront about cost and insurance plans, and have recommended an outside oral surgeons in a few cases. Dr. Azar prints you out a comprehensive plan of everything you will need with pricing. So there will never be any surprises. Thank you Montclair South Dental!!!!

This review is long overdue - I became Dr. Gerskowitz's patient almost a year and a half ago. But…read morenow I am able to reflect on entire year-long-dental project. The task was enormous - at least to me it certainly had sounded overwhelming. But Dr. G's incredible patience and thoughtfulness, and the respectful manner in which he explains everything - treating you as a partner rather than simply a patient - made me choose him over two other doctors I had been considering. And I am so happy I did! Today, after many months or our collaboration I am in a very different place: medically, aesthetically, and emotionally. What's also very important to me is that Dr. Gerskowitz looks at the patient and his/her health in a integral way, which so rare at our time of infinite specialization. He is a real master. His approach is careful and intelligent, and what they call "bedside manner" is superb: once you are in his office, you immediately feel at ease. Dr. Gerskowitz is simply the best dentist I've seen in my life and one of the very best doctors of any specialization I've encountered. I just wish I found him earlier. The staff is equally great - I use this office now for my general dental maintenance and checkups. Everyone is knowledgeable and friendly. I normally go to the River Edge office, but have been to the Wayne location, too. Dr. G.'s practice is the place I recommend to my friends and family - that says it all. Thank you, Alexander, Andrey, Theresa, and everyone at AvantGarde!

The young lady dentist assigned to me was very inexperienced. She extracted the molar by chipping and hacking away where she eventually removed the molar in pieces. I ended swallowing bits of the molar. In that visit, since I had insurance , this place did anything and everything to max out as much as they could from my insurance. I was told that 25% of the bill had to be paid upfront, which was $588. That night I bled quite a bit and had tremendous discomfort. The next day my face was swollen and I had a slight fever and realized something wasn't right. I When to another Dentist to get to the bottom of why I was bleeding so much and had this puffiness and why I had all this discomfort. Was told that the reason I bled so much was because the stitching done at this Avant garde place was because it was done on one side of the gum and that the stitching should've have been done in a cross road method as opposed to one side of the gum and the grafting to cover the hole in the gum area was not there. Was also told that I also had an infection as well and was given a prescription. I ended Spending an additional $750 to correct this mess done at Avant garde. To add insult to injury, no pun intended, Avant garde wanted another$1,590. I left skid marks at Avant garde. As mentioned, it was a horrible experience. Stay away...

The cons. I could not continue to see Dr. Johansouz because of the direction she wanted me to go in regard to the second tooth. I had consulted her about the tooth being sensitive to food and beverages that were hot or cold. She wanted me to get a root canal under a bridge. The first root canal specialist did not want to do it because of the 3 roots. The second one did not think a root canal could be save and restore the tooth. I would also lose the bridge and I can not afford to invest in another bridge. Medicaid was not going to pay for it. The third root canal specialist is that he does not do root canals underneath the bridge. The root canal can also fail and crack the tooth. The tooth had stopped bothering me after another dentist had presribed mouthwash for it. He told me to hold off on the rooth canal since the tooth was no longer bothering me. On my last visit, Dr. Johansouz again continue to tell me that I needed a root canal or I would have to get an extraction. It would be my expense and her profit. It would also get me into debt. Dr Johansouz only cared about the profit and not my welfare. It would cost me 1000's of dollars. I could no longer see a dentist that was going to harass me to get a root canal or get an extraction. If I could not get the root canal, she would want me to get an extraction so she can make her profit that way. She was right about the 2nd tooth being in jeopardy. There was nothing I could do to get this tooth treated. I can not afford to spend 1000's of dollars for another bridge. The dentist I saw today said that the tooth can not be restored and said all I can do for the time being is to keep the bridge. Part of the tooth was cracked off. I also want to avoid getting an extraction and a partial denture. Dr. Johansouz was not going to leave me alone about the root canal or I would have to get an extraction if I did not get the root canal. I had to stop seeing Dr. Johansouz anyway because she stopped being a participant of my insurance.

The office experience was not a good one. They want your money up front and leave you to deal with…read moreyour insurance company to get your money back. I never had to do this with any dentist in all my years. Normally they would bill the insurance companies as I have two dental plans and what the plans did not pay, the doctor would bill me. Dr. Mehta has the audacity to say to me that she's not going anywhere. Hello! I'm not going anywhere either. She has my address and she knows where to find me. I pay my bills and don't need to be shaken down for $2500 before she would work on me. Plus I had to put $1,000 deposit. She was recommended to me by a friend so therefore I did it, a big mistake! When I asked the front desk how much it cost for the tooth because everything was estimated they told me $2300 so they owe me money. They billed the insurance company over $4000. I found all this out because I am constantly calling the insurance companies. The girls at the front desk said oh you could just take the extra money and just put it towards your next visit. No, I don't want to do that because there is not going to be any future visits after she corrects the horrible work performed by her. The girls at the office are incompetent. My insurance company kept saying that they never received anything from them. The girls at the office said they sent it three times. My insurance company said they never received it. Once they have your money, they don't care about you. I put out of my pocket $2500. Dr. Mehta put a bridge in my mouth and I have not eaten in four days. Only liquids because food gets stuck where she put the bridge. I went to her on Friday January 14, 2025 and she cleaned where there was food stuck that I could not get out. I woke up Saturday morning OK until I ate 2 crackers, then I was in agony again. I called her office at 2 am and left a message . I was in so much pain I could not sleep. She returned my call 2 days later on Monday and could not get me in until Wednesday, January 22, 2025. I work and I am not taking off work nor going in before work to be in agony at work. She could care less. I told her that this was not a good fit, and it needs to come out and redone. She said she would take it out and leave the hole there. I told her that she either reimburses me or makes me another bridge. So needless to say I have to go back on Wednesday January 22, 2025. She hung up on me three times during this conversation because she didn't want to hear or like what I was saying . I called her back and told her it was very unprofessional to hang up on her patients. She tried to tell me that the 3 hang ups were dropped calls. She doesn't know how to deal with patients/myself and has no patience. She was tossing her tools around because she was angry that I was complaining that she didn't do a good job. She did not like what I had to say and was acting like a bratty child. She told me that she takes a little pouch with her toothbrush, her pics and whatever else she needs to get the food out of her teeth. I said, you do this every time you go out to dinner and she said yes. Well, I can't go through all those motions and carry a pouch with dental tools in my pocketbook. Something is wrong because the bridge is not flush against my gums. That is why food is getting jammed in there. I have three friends that have bridges and never had a problem like this. She needs to reimburse me or make another mold and not at my expense nor my insurances. She also made a cap for me, the tooth is at an angle crooked. It was never like that prior to her making that cap, she insists that that's the way it should be. I am not happy with that either. I wore braces for four years so my teeth were straight. Once she finishes or fixes what she started, I won't be going back. As I'm writing this, I am in pain and will be until Wednesday. My insurance company is aware of all of this. I am so unhappy and I'm in so much pain.

Unfortunately, we've recently experienced a few issues that have caused us to lose confidence. The first was a medical concern: a shard of titanium was left inside my son's tooth after a procedure. We were told this happens, but it was not removed, which is concerning to us. The second was a financial policy issue: my husband's recent appointment was canceled because he was only informed of his full out-of-pocket cost on the day of service, rather than in advance. When he was unable to pay the full amount that day, he had to cancel, and he was later refused service entirely. We feel these incidents reflect a concerning lack of attention to both patient care and communication. This focus on financial policies over the well-being of long-term patients has been a major turnoff for us. As a result, we will be transferring the dental records for our family of four to a new provider.
