Dr..Gabe and Trish recently fitted me for a new night guard, it is thee most comfortable one I ever had! Thank you for always watching out for the little people who need you the most!

I’ve been a dentist for 36 years and that was the most incredible dental experience I’ve ever had as a patient. Dr. Gabe simply simply incredible. The experience was flawless from the first time I set eyes on the front door until I left. Bruno, Dr. Gabe’s therapy dog sat on my lap and fell asleep. I listened to some incredible hand, mixed music and let myself relax. As a control freak Dentist I wanted to ask a million questions, but instead I listened to the music, inhaled the nitrous, Closed down on the extremely comfortable mouth, prop, and went to my happy place. The experience was incredible Dr. Gabe you’re the best!

I came in today for a crown procedure and had an exceptional experience. The dentist was incredibly gentle, kind, and calming, and the entire staff was wonderful—professional, caring, and attentive from start to finish. It was a very smart suggestion to take a calming medication beforehand, which helped a lot. During the procedure, I was given headphones and listened to music, which made me feel relaxed and at ease—something I’ve never experienced at a dental appointment before. They even gave me a blanket to feel cozy and closed the blinds so the sun wouldn’t get in my eyes—such thoughtful details that really made a difference. An especially lovely bonus was Bruno, the clinic’s sweet therapy dog 🐶, who helped create a calm and comforting atmosphere. I love dogs, and his presence truly put me at ease. I’m usually very anxious about dental visits, but this experience honestly feels like a new era for me. The gentleness, kindness, and overall environment completely changed how I feel about going to the dentist. I’m no longer worried about my next visit and highly recommend this practice.

My Experience Did Not Match the High Ratings — Proceed With Caution! I followed my longtime dentist to this new office, and based on years of positive experiences, I expected the same level of professionalism and communication. I was very clear with the office over the phone, by text, and again in person that I did not have insurance and that I came in only to have a chipped tooth evaluated. I stated multiple times that I did not want any exam performed until I spoke with the doctor. I also texted the doctor, whom I have known for years, and he acknowledged receiving my message. Despite all of this, he spent only a few seconds looking at the chipped tooth and then immediately began poking at unrelated areas and talking about possible expensive crown/implant work. He looked at those areas for only a few seconds, without any proper diagnostic process, yet started suggesting treatments costing thousands of dollars. The actual issue I came in for—the chipped tooth—was essentially ignored. I told him I was fine receiving an estimate, but that I was still only interested in fixing the chipped tooth. At checkout, I was charged $130 for a “limited exam” that I did not request and clearly stated I would not consent to until speaking with the doctor. There was no transparency about pricing, no explanation, and no willingness to discuss the charge. The doctor left the room immediately—almost rushing out—and left the office manager to handle the situation. This behavior was completely unlike his typical warm, friendly approach in the past. It felt as though this new office environment had changed his priorities. He is an adult and chooses who he partners with, but it is disheartening to see a practice place profit above patient comfort. After the extremely brief exam, the staff were still working on a “complex estimate” for a treatment plan I did not ask for, completely ignoring the reason I came into the office. They pushed the “limited exam” fee on me which, ironically, was indeed limited—and lasted less than two minutes. When I requested a discount due to the circumstances, the office manager claimed I had "taken 30 minutes of the doctor’s time," which is completely untrue. The doctor’s actual exam was under two minutes; the remaining time was simple conversation and waiting for staff. The office manager refused to speak with me—turning her back and passing me off to another staff member. After pushing back, they reduced the charge by only $20. I would have gladly paid for a straightforward evaluation of my chipped tooth—and even the repair—if they had provided a reasonable price. Instead, they avoided giving any cost for the actual service I requested while attempting to redirect me toward unnecessary, extremely expensive treatments that were not even properly examined. The lack of transparency, the disregard for my clear instructions, and the pressure to create a billable situation made this feel far from ethical or patient‑centered care. I genuinely wish I had recorded the visit. I am sharing this because, despite the many positive reviews, my experience was not honest, not transparent, and not focused on the concern I came in for. Other patients should be cautious when selecting this office.

Everyone was so nice and accommodating. The place is well maintained and you’re greeted with a warm smile. Teresa the hygienist is so gentle and caring. This is actually the first time that I wasn’t uncomfortable getting my XRays. Very clean, comfortable and Dr. Gabe is great. Even though I missed my previous dentist, Dr. Gorlick he sent me to Dr. Gabe Adorjan knowing that I will be taken cared of. Thanks everyone for taking care of me today as I came in a little Nauseous. Thanks to the receptionist (sorry I forgot your name) who was so understanding, caring and helpful.
