Did not tell us until AFTER the cleaning that our insurance isn't covered there anymore. They could have told us before the visit but no, no heads up, no letter or anything like that saying that they had dropped our insurance. Instead we get a "that will be $200" FOR A CLEANING? Could have gone elsewhere and got a cleaning for free. Just a tip- have your receptionists tell patients about how much the visit will be BEFORE the appointment. Sounds like another person had this same experience. Just goes to show that not everyone got a "letter" with a heads up.

My experience the first time I went was very positive. They accepted my insurance. My husband went two months later and got a cleaning. They made him pay over $300 for cleaning we could've had close to free elsewhere. They dropped our insurance and didn't let us know. I have an apt.next month and they havent called to let me know they dropped our insurance. Very disappointed!

First time attending Gentle Dentistry. All staff was very friendly and the process was quick. They do live up to their name: Gentle. I had just a routine cleaning, but there was minimal discomfort. Mandy was the hygienist and did a great job. The dentist was very friendly and took the time to get to know me. They seem very knowledgeable, they use high quality equipment, and it worked well with my insurance. I'm planning my next dental appointment here!

Dr. Evans is truly the best dentist I've ever had! It's so refreshing to find a practice where their focus is on the health of your smile and not on the price of a treatment plan. I appreciate his conservative care and kindness. If you are looking for a Dentist, you should really go to Gentle Dental, where there is no pressure. The entire team is so caring and professional! It was a great experience.
