To make story short, she gave me the run around and basically didn't do the filling saying that I don't need it. I told her i had pain for months, and she said," she doesn't know why." What she didn't know is that i saw another dentist a day before that (for my root canal) and he told me i needed a feeling in that other tooth and that is why it was hurting-- I have an appointment next week.
I gave them another try and I kept an appointment with Total Family Dentistry for a simple filling. I figured, oh well I will do extraction at the clinic (my insurance covers extractions-- plus Total Family Dentistry does not have a dental surgeon-- and I though "let me ask them just get a filing in another tooth that has been bothering me," and when I got there my original dentist that was going to do the root canal was there (I requested her). But now she doesn't want to contradict the other guy on his order to extract my tooth. So, I didn't even bother to mention the root canal or extraction.
I was told I was going to have a root canal and to come back after infection was gone. Then i come back (another rude dentist saw me this time) and I'm fine without infection, and he tells me that I need to take the tooth out and to put implants (this without even taking another xray). When I asked why? and explained the change that from my original visit to the time the infection was gone, not much time past. Yet he told me it was too late and too much work for him to do a root canal. I was like WHAT?? I just left. I'm now having my root canal done at another dentist who doesn't want to take my tooth out and charge me for implants.
He, didn't do and went to see a REAL Doctor dentist. The new dentist told him the tooth could be saved. He had a paint free root canal, no crown. His tooth is like new. That was 3 years ago.
In conclusion: It all went to hell there the day I saw the other dentist, he was arrogant, rude, and all he care was telling me to spend money on implants.
An honest, quick, efficient dentist. They make the visits an absolute pleasure.
They are a perfect exhibit A of all that is wrong with our health care system in our country. I saw a documentary recently how Americans are going to Mexico to get quality dental health care. Sad.

I will never go there again! Took money from me and did nothing other than waste my time.
Dr Gus is the best dentist on L.I., if not the best in N.Y.State. He performs at an extremely high level of skill with precision and quality, without wasting your time or resources. Waiting time in the office is minimal, and service is friendly and efficient.
Do not go to these dentist They are crooks and incompetent, and can they care less about sending you to specialist or saving your tooth.
They told my brother he needed to take his tooth out cause it was too late to save it. Then the rude male dentist sat down with my brother and proposed implants and took all his time to talked about money-- How much it will cost each options. And pressure him to take his tooth that day.
