Keane Liz - Gentle Dental Ctr

The dentists might be great, but when I went for my cleaning, I decided not to go back because it hurt so much that I figured that they could not be very gentle with other procedures if the cleaning hurt so much. My husband felt the same way after his cleaning was rough and uncomfortable too, so we didn't go back. This was in 2003, so maybe they are better and have a new hygienist by now.

Appointments are always kept as close to time. The doctors are knowledgeable and very understanding. My teeth are the best they have ever been. The hygienists that I have seen are very good at cleaning my teeth.

Love my 1 Dentist Dr. van de Rydt

I first went to Gentle Dental when I moved here in 2001, I was a bit concerned about going to a multi-office dentist, especially to an office in a strip mall. I wrongly assumed that there would be a lot of turnover and a lower quality of Doctors. As an afterschool teacher I didn't have dental insurance or a lot of extra money for dentistry. After an initial consultation and appointment with Dr. van de Rydt's, I was very pleased and have stayed a client from day one. In fact the whole office is amazingly professional, I have experienced quality work from absolutely everyone!

I was in a panic when Dr. van de Rydt was going to move to Florida. I am thrilled that he is back here where he belongs! He has a great demeanor always with a smile and I believe truly happy to see me (even if I am not thrilled to be at the dentist office) he is also great about accommodating my schedule. I also really trust the other folks in the office they all work together as a very tight team. I really do appreciate everyone at the office especially when Dr. van de Rydt, Dr. Goldberg or Dr. Wang make the time between patients, to make sure everything is doing well in my mouth or just to say hi or to check in with me personally. The whole office is great from the front desk folks, Liz and her girls to the very professional and able hygienist and dental assistants - especially Janna.

Thanks to you all!
