I have been seeing Dr. Anderton since she came to State College. She's so nice and very…read morepersonable. She takes her time and explains everything to you. She's great. I highly recommend her as a dentist.

My family has been seeing Dr. Anderton for several years now. My wife first went to her, and…read moreremarked that she was one of the best dentists she had ever seen, and convinced me to go (after an 8-year gap in dental visits). I went, and was very happily surprised. The office is easy to find, parking is sufficient, and the inside is very clean and modern. During the current Covid pandemic, patient safety is obviously a high priority as well, with a quick phone interview asking relevant questions, and a temperature checks at your car before you enter the building. All the hygienists we've seen are very friendly and courteous, answering any questions you have. They're also great with kids, as our daughter has gone for the past 4 years and loves it. Having a toddler eager to go to the dentist is not an experience I've heard from others very often, but ours is, which is a testament to their care. One other review mentioned that Dr. Anderton has turned into a greedy businesswoman, due to her not taking the insurance anymore (I assume it's the Penn State dental insurance). I know a little about the situation, and it's definitely not her fault. The issue, as I understand it, is that the insurance changed to require dentists to use some material for cavity fillings that tend to degrade, while Dr. Anderton insists on using high-quality fillings. That led to her not being accepted into the network. However, you can still be reimbursed from an HSA if you have one. In short, Dr. Anderton is the best dentist me, or my family, has ever had, and we'll be her happy patients for as long as we can.

I'm 21 years old and have always been terrified of going to the dentist since I was little. After 8…read moreyears of dental dodging, I finally developed a few cavities and quite a bit of pain. I broke down and realized I needed help. Fortunately, I stumbled upon Dr. Gonsman. Aside from being very close to my home, he brought me in hours within me calling to schedule an appt. I waited less than 3 minutes in the waiting room to get back to the exam room. His assistant took me back and took my xrays. Everyone was extremely friendly. The Dr came in and was very pleasant. He talked to me through the entire exam and gave me soooo much helpful info. and my cleaning was great too. He showed me on my xrays exactly where and what i needed done. He gave me the option between silver and composite fillings and explained each very clearly, making sure to let me know the composites may cost a little more. I opted for the composites for their color, and To my surprise, the composites were incredibly afforable even with my insurance paying only a little over half. A week later he put in my 5 composites, and although I was extremely anxious being that I've never had fillings, they did everything they could to make sure I was comfortable and had as little pain as possible. He talked to me through the procedure, allowed my husband to be around for my comfort and made sure to let me know to tell him if I had any pain at all during and stopped as soon as I had any and took care of it. He took his time on my teeth and they turned out beautifully. After it was all said and done they made payment arrangements with me and my tight budget to pay off my work(which was a great price, even with me being on unemployment) This was an absolutely wonderful experience for me and for the first time in my life Im EXCITED to go back to the dentist. I will definitely be recommending Dr Gonsman to friends and family. This is how dentistry should be. Comfortable. Inviting. Informative. Thorough.

Let me preface this by saying this is the first yelp review I've ever written. For me to take the…read moretime to do so should tell you something. Scammers. There's no nice way to say it. Stay away from Aspen Dental...period. I visited the Altoona office this past week. I will say they were very thorough with xrays, but that's the only positive you'll get out of me. What I can't wrap my head around is how a cleaning was going to cost me 3600 dollars. That's with me having really good dental insurance. All due to my gum disease requiring an antibiotic. When I said "well then let's just skip the antibiotic that isn't covered by my insurance and get a regular cleaning", I was turned away and told that it was part of the procedure. Absolute horse manure. I'd like to know what antibiotic costs 112 dollars, and that's per tooth. This is predatory. Let's make sure we add as much as we can to this client's bill, and make sure it's not covered by insurance. This business model shouldn't thrive, but when most of your income is from feeding off insecurity and vanity, for some reason it does. Now I'm also in the same boat as a previous yelper where I have to wait another 6 months just to get my teeth cleaned. Aspen did absolutely nothing for me but somehow that counts as a cleaning. I mean, they did give me a tiny cup of mouthwash while I was there. I'm beyond livid.

My third appointment they called to reschedule. This was January. I told them that I needed an afternoon appointment. I was told they didn't have any available and would contact me when one was available. It's now August, almost September. I have found another dentist.

5 star rating for a Dentist office? Who even likes going to the dentist enough to give 5 stars?!…read moreBut seriously, this place deserves it! This office was recommended to me by a co-worker and I couldn't be happier that I chose this place as my dental office. Each and every appointment I have ever had here I have been treated with nothing but the utmost courtesy and respect by the receptionists, hygienist, and dentists. They also have always been on-time for my appointments. I've been to other dentist offices in the area where they like to try and push unnecessary cosmetic treatments on you -- this office does not do that. They will make suggestions based upon what your goals are with your teeth and that is it, but I have never felt uncomfortable here trying to be "sold" on a service or product like I have at other offices. The office itself is very nice and ample parking is available out front and they accept Penn State insurance!
