Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been a patient of Gentle Dentistry for over 40 years. There is no one better. Kind, family like atmosphere and very, very state of the art and super clean. Thanks for healthy teeth and always with a smile....Michele Wrixon

Super Dentist
Visited Dr. Spector and his staff today. They took me in exactly on time. They have always been good with that. The doctor completed the procedure professionally and kindly. The staff in the front desk are very nice too. I highly recommend Dr. Spector, especially if you have a challenging condition. He can do it. :)

Very caring
I had a tooth extraction and Dr. Spector talked me through the whole procedure before starting. He also ask me how I was doing during it, and checked if needed a break at all. I’m very pleased with Dr. Spector as my dentist.

Dr. Spector and Staff
Dr. Spector and the folks at Gentle Dentistry have been my family dentist for many years and they have always been fantastic, from simple checkups to replacing all upper teeth with implants and a denture. This last visit was no different. Pain free and very easy going, Dr. Spector put me at ease and came through what could have been a very difficult situation.

Very experienced dentist
Dr. Spector is very friendly, experienced, and knowledgeable. He seems to be in tune with the most recent dental advancements and information. Dr. Spector works a bit more quickly than other dentists I've gone to in the past, but his expertise is evident. It can be difficult to get an appointment when needed though. The staff has been friendly and caring with the exception of the main person at the front desk -C- who is always condescending. She is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5.

Great Office and Doctor
Dr Spector is as good as there is. Gentle Dentistry uses the latest technology and I'm always happy with the outcome of my visits, whether it involves installing a crown or a simple cleaning and check-up. The staff is always courteous and professional. I've never waited more than a few minutes for my appointments. I recommend them without hesitation.

Bonding
I couldn't even do a review without pressing a star. I guess they only put good reviews ZERO STAR- went for tiny bonding on my tooth got a HUGE scratch/ gash on my face from Dr. Spector RUSHING. Metal band snapped on my cheek. Who goes to a dentist and walks out with a gash. Been a patient of practice for 22 years including my ENTIRE family, recommended him to so many and it is UNACCEPTABLE. His condescending apologies that this never happened before is absolutely insulting. I am horrified.

Nowhere else!
From the front end staff to Dr. Spector and his fellows, Gentle Dentistry is phenomenal! Not only do I have fibromyalgia and TMJ, I also have a very small mouth. Add that to an intense fear of having my teeth worked on, and Dr. Spector has his work cut out for him. He will do everything in his power to make me comfortable and do what needs to be done. I highly recommend the entire staff.

Best Dentist
Dr. Specter and his staff are fantastic. Always professional and accomadating. This is especially important to me because I live in another state and making our schedules work is not easy. Clearly, I believe Dr. Specter to be one of the best dentists and implant specialist. I've had numerous implants and work done by Dr. S while I lived in NJ and continue to travel to see him because he's the only dentist I trust to get the job done right! Thank you, Gentle Dentistry.
