Total scam artist. Seek another office. Over charge and recommend unneeded procedures. I can't believe this place has not been shut down for fraud and shady business practices.

This dental practice cannot be trusted! 1st bad dental experience and it is TERRIBLE.! My advise is to get a 2nd opinion on major work and don't sign a waiver/release. Hopefully, you will have better luck than I did if something goes wrong while using this practice. They diagnosed me with needing $14,000 worth of work (9 teeth). Had 5 teeth worked on and am having serious issues with all work 6 months later. 2nd opinion oral surgeon said I need significant bone grafting & sinus lift before placing implant to avoid puncturing my sinus. Bayside dentist was going to place implant without bone graft and sinus lift. 2nd opinion dentist did not find any needed work and is working with me to eliminate the pain from work done on 4 bottom teeth.

Dr. Sherling came highly recommended from a friend and I couldn't be happier with the service I've received. I have a local dentist for general checkups but drive over an hour just to see Dr. Sherling for major procedures.

If I could give negative stars I would. They refused treatment for a dangerous abcess when my son's friend could not come up with the entire amount for the bill. Would not work with him at all and we're very rude. They do not care about the patient AT ALL!!
