Dr. Gerard Sarni has over twenty years of experience in general dentistry, and his last ten years have been spent as Director with Allied Dental Practices of New Jersey. Dr. Sarni, a native of Queens, New York, attended Hofstra University before graduating from NYU Dental School in 1993. He is a proud member of the Italian American Association of Ocean County. He lives with his wife Andrea in Monmouth County, where they own and operate an animal rescue agency.

Dr. Nikolaos Gavrilis completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Central Florida, receiving a Bachelor Degree in Molecular Biology/Microbiology in 1995. Immediately after, he was accepted at New York University where he received his DDS. This was followed by a two year general residency at Woodhull Medical Center, where he served as Chief Resident during his second year. He furthered his studies by accepting a position at the University of Pittsburgh in the Prosthodontics Specialty Department and received his Prosthodontics Speciality Certificate in 2004. His training placed higher emphasis on Implant Surgery and Implant Restoration, and so in 2004 he received Fellow and Diplomate status at the International College of Oral Implantology, an independent organization responsible for accreditation, guidance, and to some degree, regulation in the field of dental implants. Upon completion of his Prosthodontics specialty, he decided he wanted to receive specialty trainings in Endodontics as well, which he also completed at the University of Pittsburgh in 2006. He has been in private practices since receiving his DDS and has been providing specialty care such as root canals and implant surgery in our offices since 2006. He enjoys his position with our company, as he feels he has encountered a wonderful setting which allows him to provide the best possible care to his patients in a care-free environment.

I saw this doctor often since 2016. He did many procedures, incl. 3 extractions, placing & removing a titanium implant that was protruding into my sinus & causing pain, removal of painful bone from a previous extraction. He kept sending me away to Infectious Disease and ENT, and they kept sending me back to him. He failed to diagnose & treat an infection in my maxilla. I finally got a diagnosis after an Indium Scan ordered by my new primary care doctor. He works out of too many offices (Keansburg, Neptune, Middletown, Toms River, Absecon) and is so hard to get an appointment with and never returns any calls. I've been in pain over 3 years and he was annoyed that I made appts with him at all these offices. I cannot recommend him.

DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST IF YOU HAVE MEDICAID. BEWARE. 3 OR 4 palate injections, boom, boom, boom! No cheek injections first. I was crying, I put my hand on my head and said I did not feel well he said nothing. I had 2 teeth on top, one on bottom removed. After it was over I said oh my God I never had palate injections so bad. He offered no explanation, comfort, nothing. Maybe a medical professional should treat one of his family the way he treated me. Just a side note , the young lady across the way from me he had just finished with her, she looked traumatized. I'm on Medicaid, perhaps this was Medicaid patient day. This is not my first horrible experience with a Medicaid dentist but this nasty, poor excuse for a dentist will be reported. And I am cut all the way to my cheek???? I can not figure that out. Not anywhere near my dam teeth. Please be careful. Perhaps if your not Medicaid you are treated properly!! I was treated with NO COMPASSION, NO EMPATHY, NO DIGNITY. THANK YOU DR PAGONIS
