Been coming here for cleanings for a few years. Mary the hygienist is wonderful. Just recently was in for some fillings. The doctor was extremely thorough. He took the time to show me my x-rays and explain everything in great detail. Sue at the front desk took the time to correct some of my insurance information. We moved further north a few months ago and I will continue to make the drive to Sea Girt for my dental care!

Was recently there for my hygiene visit. I saw Mary, who is very thorough and knowledgeable. She is also very gentle and kind and has a great personality. I met Dr. Zhang for the first time and was very impressed with the amount of time he took with me and how he explained my treatment. He put me completely at ease. I would highly recommend this dental group for anyone that wants quality and gentle dental care.

I use Platinum Dental with employees and staff. They have provided excellent and professional top notch services. Their work is impeccable and they work with you on pricing. Dr. R has done wonders and Mary is a super hygenist. Also Sue in the office is a pleasure to work with. Five stars all around. Would never go anywhere else.

My new dental group. I've had a crown replaced, a few cleanings, and just recently I had my front teeth bonded as I had worn them down past the enamel to the dentil layer. Dr Rishi was terrific with this procedure. It went quickly and was painless. New life for my choppers! The staff are friendly and helpful. They remember me when I return and always have friendly conversation. Karen will always call if there is an earlier opening

Went in for regular cleaning. They said I needed 2 caps. I had no pain or problems. They said it was better to take care of the situation before I did encounter a problem. What a mistake it was believing them. They caused such problems, I had to get 2 root canals. I had to get another dentist to fix my teeth. I had Togo to the hospital because they caused my mouth to get an infection. I still have trouble with my teeth today, because of Pinnicle. I wish I could go back in time! I would have never stepped foot in that office. They are doing dental work that doesn't need to be done. And very poor work it is! My advise, stay away!

Dr De Marco and his staff are a wonderful and caring group. Everyone there is both helpful and pleasant and very capable. I do not usually like having to go to a dentist but I have a much more positive attitude since I've been going here.

Very friendly staff... patient and willing to go the extra mile. I can't say enough about the kindness of the staff and the incredible friendliness of the current dentist. The only downside is pricing... drastically more expensive than many local dentists. I have had to pay thousands out of pocket this year alone. I priced some of these things out more recently and realized I have paid more than double of other places in the area. If these were covered by my current policy, I would still go here

Very bad. Called me in knowing the hygienist was out. Put filings on my teeth that did not even match color wise. And lastly they ignored my biggest problem. Need a route canal. My insurance specifically told me they worded it wrong. They took zero responsibility. After 7 times back and forth they decided to send me a letter that they wouldn't be treating me. Never problem solved anything by communicating w me. They just want the money. Care nothing about the patient. Also as I was leaving , the new dentist finally remembered to throw me back in the chair , jacket and all to do my oral screenings. It made me nervous. Felt like I was in a twilight zone over there. Very bad
