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!

Pushy dental insurance vampires. They will do a "full set of rays" where they will find "quite a…read morefew cavities" , most of them "needing crowns" . Plus a bunch of other things like "scans", and you will walk out with a thousand of dollars "treatment plan" that will exhaust your benefits plus bills for hundreds of dollars. Most dentists run this scam these days but I found this practice to be one of the most egregious. And that rude young doctor! No offense but somebody out of dentistry school for hardly two years needs to tone down the attitude.

We had such a wonderful experience at Smile More Dentistry with Dr. Luke and Leslie during my…read morechildren's visit. From the moment we walked in, they made both of my kids feel comfortable, safe, and even excited to be there--which says a lot! Dr. Luke was incredibly patient, gentle, and great at explaining things in a way that helped ease any nerves. Leslie was just as amazing--so kind, attentive, and reassuring with the kids, making the whole visit feel easy and stress-free. As a parent, it means everything to see your children cared for with such warmth and professionalism. I'm so grateful for the positive experience they created and would highly recommend them to any family looking for a caring and trustworthy dental team.

They also claimed to take my insurance, but they were truly not in-network. What they quoted as $30,000 turned out to be $150 at a different dentist. I went for an appointment a few years ago as a young adult and I feel they took advantage of my lack of knowledge of dental work and how dental insurance worked. I'm writing a review now because this experience still bothers me even now, and after I've learned more about how normal dentist offices are run the issues here are more apparent. I would stay away.

So there was no concern that they called and rescheduled 4 different times .so he said to the representative if I as a patient don't cancel in time you charge a $50.00 fee . The representative was mad they said they don't want him to come back. Wendy need to be more professional and understand that people take some time from work to make the appointment.

My boyfriend has been going…read moreto this dental for years and this morning he was returning a call that he missed a minute later and the woman who answered said "how am I supposed to know who you are" with attitude. Not the first thing I would want to hear in the morning. He was taken a back and just said he would call later. Like how are you about to say that when you or maybe somebody else from that dental clinic called first and make it seem like my boyfriend's fault?? I wonder if she always speaks like that to customers.. if you hate your job don't work front desk.

I would not come back here again…read more My kid had an endodontic surgery and silver crown on one of child molar about 6 months ago with the pediatric dentist. The other day, a huge inflammation was seen right below the silver crown. Noticing something was wrong, we visited another pediatric dentist. The new dentist took the x-ray and recommended that we take the tooth out because the silver crown was not sitting properly and likely had cavities inside. One the surgery was done, we noticed that the spacing between the crown and the teeth was so large that the food would get stuck, unable to be brushed, and leaving room for new cavities, not to mention that the old endodontic surgery was done improperly and developed further cavities (leading to inflammation). My kid is only 5 years old and was supposed to use the tooth for another 3-4 years before the adult tooth would come out. According to the new pediatric dentist we visited, it's likely that the old dentist didn't grind away the molar enough to put smaller crown to save time, but rather used bigger silver crown to save 10-15 minutes! Come dental dentists are always running against time and will never treat patients right. They look at patients as nothing but money. No doctor ethics. I hope other parents would not have to go through what we went through.

I have terrible teeth and choose to have cleanings every 4 months. Ann Marie has been my hygienist for many years. She is friendly and meticulous...2 very important qualities. The only thing that might throw you off is that she's a lefty, so you have to turn your head to the left side. Weird, I know, but it is different. :) The front desk is friendly and efficient, now staffed by Danielle. Overall, a comfortable place to visit even if you have a dental phobia.

I did have to have quite a bit of work done but they walked me through it and explained everything clearly. On the day I returned for the more involved work I was actually looking forward to getting it done and out of the way. Everything went smoothly, the health of my mouth went from neglected to tip top shape: I had a lot of bonding work done, and it's completely different than when I was a kid; there was no pain and it's so modern you cannot even tell what are my teeth and what was added: no more gaps, cracks, or cavities. Also the hygienist who does the cleaning was absolutely terrific. I have since moved from Bedford Hills but will readily return for a yearly visit and also cleaning because I trust the work they did and the results. I can't recommend Dr. Paniagua and her team enough. -Andrew P.
