What patients say

Vibe: professional

Highly polarized practice with strong technical skills from some dentists (particularly Dr. Gerlach and Dr. Abusteit for specific procedures) and positive experiences for patients who have been there 15+ years, but significant and recurring complaints about front desk staff professionalism, billing practices, and patient care inconsistency. Multiple one-star reviews cite rude treatment, billing surprises, and feeling dismissed, while five-star reviews praise clinical excellence and quick service. The practice appears to have a serious customer service problem that contradicts its clinical capabilities.
