    I have severe anxiety when it comes to the dentist so you know a five-star review means something. I cannot recommend Gentle Dental Tempe highly enough. The administrative and dental staff are both ridiculously kind, empathetic, and efficient. Their new location off Southern & McClintock is stunning, welcoming, and not at all claustrophobic. I had Dr. Thompson as my dentist and he walked me through everything and made sure I understood and felt comfortable before proceeding -- he has a very calming presence. There was a hiccup with my dental insurance and the administrative staff immediately began working to try and resolve it and did so relentlessly to advocate for me. The dental staff were patient while this was occurring and didn't seem bothered by the delay at all. That meant so much to me as a patient because I was already distressed from my anxiety which was compounded by the insurance hiccup. If you're looking for a new dental office for your routine cleanings and dental needs, look no further than Gentle Dental Tempe -- you won't be disappointed.

    Worst experience ever first of all with the front desk very unprofessional and rude. I got a root canal done by Dr. Garber at first it was ok but then I was in pain went to a different endo place to get second opinion and my root canal was not done properly now I have to waist another 2k to get it redone because my root canal failed!!!! Don't get root canals here or waste your money.

    Dr. Brian Arnett's work makes for a great fitting top denture. I usually don't use an adhesive.

    Horrible customer service. My fiance needed a good periodontist, so we scheduled an exam here. Later, I found out that he was in severe pain during the exam to the point where he was bleeding profusely. I called the office back to let them know he was in pain just from them touching his teeth and asked nicely if there were any gentler means without the tools, any anesthesia options, or other periodontists they can recommend for such a severe case. The office staff got really mean as soon as I started asking questions, they said it was not possible to be any gentler. I was only concerned for his well being and they were very unsympathetic and were refusing to give solutions or other options. I requested a refund. After exploring other options on my own, I found another periodontist that actually has the resources to help him and over 1 month later they still have not processed my refund! I do not recommend going here especially if you or a family member has any serious dental issues, they do not have the resources, the office staff is very rude, they will not refer out, but they will take your money when given the chance, and getting a refund may be problematic.

    The dentists are kind and helpful if willing to go through the disrespectful and unprofessional receptionists first.

    Gentle dental is a great place. Dr. Baddam and her assistant T have been great to me every time I have been there and have made me feel so comfortable. The whole staff at the Tempe location was nice and friendly.

    Have nothing but good things to say about today's experience with Dr. Baddam and her assistant. Very professional, genial, and helpful. After feeling nervous and apprehensive about my procedure I couldn't have felt more comfortable and positive about the outcome. Highly recommend this team and facility.

    Dr. Garber and Oscar are the best! My friends all told me a root canal is one of the worst procedures ever. I had a wonderful, pain-free and quick procedure today and thank the Dr. And staff for their excellent care. Their whole team was kind, patient and funny throughout.

    The staff at gentle dental are the best in the business. From day one I felt like family. They are there to take care of you, make you comfortable and at ease. I wish I had known Gentle Dental years ago so I could have taken better care of my real teeth, believe me I had a big fear of dentist. Believe me fear is not a factor at Gentle Dental. Relax and let them help you take care of your dental needs. They really are gentle and caring. Thank you Brian and Maria and the entire staff for a great job and putting a smile back on my face .

    Dr moghadam and Dr t were amazing. Got me in last minute because I'm moving. They were so friendly and kind and made me feel welcome. They were also professional and explained to me the procedure of getting my wisdom teeth removed. Quick and effortless process would give them 10 stars if I could!!

    I went to the office on Gilbert Rd, everyone was super sweet. Slept about 3 hrs thru the weekend due to the pain. The dentist gave me a couple of shots to numb the area. Temporaty pain relief was priceless. The Dr and her assist. Pam were the best ever, awesome sense of humor., Elaine a true and patient, front desk clerk. They couldn''t extract my molar(?) So I was referred to the orthodontist in their Tempe office the following day. It was going to cost about $200 more than what I expected without insurance. The front desk lady advised they could do a payment plan. I told her I probably wouldn't qualify. She said and I quote, "hmm, ok follow me to the front" for payment for the office visit. What took me by surprise was that the front desk clerk determines who's eligible for the payment plan. All this time I assumed it was the finance company. Go figure. In the meantime, for pain I filll my cavity with orajel throughout the day and take 3 ibuprofen and 2 Tylenol, or was, I had to raise the dosage.
