STOP! Don't know who is writing these other reviews, but we had one mistake after another! Asked for a claim on a Crown. After 6 weeks, found out from our insurance co that the dentists office never contacted them at all. One Crown came in, an office Tech sanded the Crown down too much and put a hole in the middle of it, while Dr. Hart was on the phone in the lobby asking her child how his school day went. Had to order another Crown. All the Temp Crowns kept falling out & they only recommended Polygrip to keep it in! 2nd Crown didn't fit, again alot of sanding! Over 6 months later, that Crown broke, husband swallowed it. Went to a new Dentist, The Tooth, and despite that office requesting dental files from Dr. Hart 3 TIMES, they never got them! So, we have to pay nearly $600. for a new Crown, because our insurance expired on replacing a damaged Crown. Called Dr. Hart several times to complain, she REFUSES to call us back! I read alot of negative reviews about Dr. Harts office, but was foolish to proceed. I guess this is what you get from a Dentist who trained in a third world country! Never again! Don't like being played!

Approximately 2.5 years ago, I was concerned that I'd find a dental clinic suitable enough to call it, "My dental clinic, or my dentist." Being in the military for 24+ years, I never had to search around to find dental care since it was always provided to me - now that I'm retired, it was time to find a place. I stumbled across this office one day; completed the required paperwork, and scheduled my first cleaning appointment. When that day arrived, I will say that I was thoroughly impressed...and relieved. Relieved because the people working there were not only friendly, but very professional. They listened to my concerns and provided ample feedback on different courses of action depending on my schedule. I really enjoyed the fact that they weren't pushy on anything, nor did they look at me like I was some disgusting thing on this planet because I didn't want to fix certain issues with my teeth right away. The people here are very flexible and make you feel at home. Recently, I had a crown applied to my tooth...this was a result from an issue I had been dealing with for almost 3 years (just didn't want to bring it up, nor did I want to pay for it). This was my first crown applied and I was a bit skeptical in the beginning because I've heard of issues that other people had during the application process. I will say this...FLAWLESS...completely flawless execution! No issues; no complaints, and no more food trapped between the two teeth which was very annoying. Put a crown on Dr. Gupta for her remarkable work!! She definitely changed my life for the better. In addition to the crown, my cleaning appointments have been nothing short of outstanding. Rhonda, the hygienist, always does a superb job on cleaning my teeth. Aside from her lack of keeping up with the newest movies released, she definitely sets the tone on quality work. Another notable worker in that clinic is Michelle. Although, I've only had three visits in which she was present, during those three visits, she has been very upbeat, and provided stellar workmanship during my exams and during the crown application. Her and Dr. Gupta make a great team! Last but not least, Angela has always been very friendly up in the front office since day 1 of visiting this clinic. Honestly, I don't think she is capable of ever being unfriendly. She is very caring and provides great customer service to patients! I've also noticed her providing detailed customer service to other patients as well so it's not a hit-or-miss with her...she is ALWAYS this way. I know this post was longer than the norm, but if these workers are going to take the time to provide quality care, then I wanted to take some time to recognize these outstanding workers that I had the privilege of experiencing. Thank you to these great workers and the rest of the staff (I'm not certain how many people work here, but I'm sure they're all remarkable)! I now identify this place as "MY" dental clinic.
