Poor Scheduling and Unprofessional Behavior
Several reviewers had poor experiences with scheduling appointments and cancelations. Some were cancelled with short notice, while others had to wait months for an available appointment. The office staff was often unhelpful and unapologetic, leading to frustration and disappointment.
Dentist's Unprofessional Behavior
The dentist, Dr. Gleason, was criticized for being pushy and trying to upsell services, particularly a teeth whitening treatment that may not have been suitable for the patient's needs. He also failed to properly address the patient's concerns and provide adequate explanations for his decisions.
Dental Care and Treatment
Some reviewers had poor experiences with dental care and treatment. One reviewer had to undergo a root canal and eventually had to have a tooth removed due to poor treatment by Dr. Gleason. Another reviewer had a poor experience with a dental hygienist, leading to cavities and further problems.
Positive Experiences
On the other hand, many reviewers had positive experiences with Dr. Gleason and his staff. They praised the office for being compassionate, caring, and skilled. The staff was friendly and professional, and the dentist took the time to explain procedures and address concerns.
