They did great for a while, but apparently they've just decided to close up shop without telling any of their patients. I've been calling and emailing daily for two weeks trying to get an appointment and there's been no response. They were able to do the work, just now they're going out of business and they won't respond to attempts to finish the work they started. Don't make an appointment, the practice is closing down.

I paid got my treatment up front so have to finish it out with this office but they straight up always have their masks under their nose. The only people who wear masks properly are their orthodontist and an aid. I overheard the owner talking about how he is going to wait to get the vaccine and how he had covid over the summer in montauk. Maybe they're fine in regular times, but if you're trying to stay safe from COVID steer clear

I saw Dr. Gross for jaw pain & immediately he identified it was my wisdom teeth & pulled them out and I literally went to work afterwards! There was no pain or discomfort. Yes bleeding but nothing I couldn't manage & I literally went about my business. I went back two weeks later for a cleaning. No more pain in my jaw and no discomfort whats so ever. Excellent job and always the best care for my teeth.

Dr Gross is just terrible. He insisted on procedures I did Not want or need, including orthodontics before even looking in my mouth! He is all about the upsell - tried to get me to buy his tablets and was really pushy. He got angry and rude with me when I asked him to wear clean gloves when putting his hands in my mouth - actually angry with me. Wtf?! He's just the worst.

Please do Not go here to see him! The front desk is rude as well, which isn't surprising. My legal name is Meghan, and I go by Carla. Should be pretty easy to manage, right? I've told them about 100000 times, and they just can't seem to handle calling me by my right name! It really can't be that hard. When I reminded them to use my correct name the receptionist got so rude and blamed her computer system.

If your computer system is making it impossible to call your patients by their actual name, get a new system! Pathetic. A friend of mine was just there today and they also called her by the wrong name, prompting me to write this because she's wouldn't do it herself. No excuse in 2018. Dr Verma and Carl the hygienist are the only reason I'm not giving 1 star. Carl is truly the best. I have no idea why he works in this place! Find somewhere else to go.

This practice is innovative and offers more than dentistry. This spa like office mixes traditional dentistry with modern wellness practices. I love this place!

This is my second review! I came for a second opinion for two root canals. I saw Dr. Verma which I immediately liked, she is very detail and thorough! I did not need the root canals instead I received crowns. It is expensive but money well spent for peace of mind. I would definitely use them again!

They take care of you, have extended hours, they are holistic so not alot of chemicals that aren't good for you. They care about you, and make you feel welcomed. From the night time janitor, to the DDS doctor, they are real people doing real work.

5-star Professional dental care by Dr. Lewis Gross and his team has been my consistent experience for many years with Holistic Dentists. From accommodating my emergency dental needs to thoroughly explaining patient treatment plans and providing sound holistic preventative care advice, I'm well satisfied with the professional expertise my husband. and I receive at Holistic Dentists.

I especially value the importance Dr. Gross puts upon excellence and knowledge and keeping himself and the team abreast of state of the art advances in dental and nutritional research making a visit to this dentist a positive healthy habit.

I went here a few months ago for a consultation to get a retainer, which had been recommended to me by several other dentists. Dr. Barton barely looked in my mouth and declared that he wouldn't give me a retainer even if I wanted one because what I really needed was Invisalign and without it I would develop jaw pain and headaches later in life (none of this was ever substantiated by any other dentists I saw before or since).

He proceeded to aggressively try to sell me on Invisalign and bragged about his education and status with the Invisalign company. I barely got a word in edgewise and left feeling disgusted and certain I would never come back here again. Dr. Barton is a showman who is clearly more interested in his bottom line than in actually providing dental care.

Very caring dentist and Karl the hygienist is super. I love that you don't need to use fluoride and there are less toxic options for everything.

They've always done a great job on my teeth without being pushy about work or appointments. Flexible scheduling, working their own to fit me in. I also like their holistic approach to overall wellness

Went for a cleaning and had a great experience. The staff is friendly, knowledgable and very catering to new patients. As a person who lives a healthy and holistic lifestyle, I would recommend this office to anyone looking to continue living a healthy life and ensuring their teeth are consulted and taken care of by some of the most knowledgeable people in the industry.

My first visit at Dr. Gross' holistic dental office was superb. Entire staff was incredibly friendly and put me at ease. I was provided valuable information and could not have asked for a better experience!

Don't go here. During my first appointment, Dr. Gross suggested several cosmetic procedures that I had shown no interest in. The majority of their staff is very pushy in terms of pushing appointments, procedures, and so forth. On top of all that, the dental hygienist I had chipped my tooth during cleaning. DO NOT GO HERE. There are much better options in the area.

I only go here out of convenience because it's close to my home and workplace but I really think I should be going to a better dentist. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I feel like they try to sell me on unnecessary procedures and products for the sake of business, not because I actually need any of it. I do really like the samples of Neem toothpaste that they give out though!

Was a patient in sept 2012 - Jan 2014. What an absolute nightmare! Not holistic at all and a complete butcher to my teeth. Avoid at all cost. Because it will cost you $$$ and your teeth. Here is a list of my experiences before I finally had the sense to seek another dentist. First red flag-while waiting to see Dr. gross, I witnessed first hand someone being turned away after having been told their insurance was accepted over the phone.

Naturally this person was pretty upset as he had taken time from work to be at this appt. Unfortunately for me, they took my insurance. TIP- get an email confirmation that they accept your insurance. Money- A real put off was when the billing manager hassled me about payment options prior to the appt. What I found really enraging is the amount quoted for the work would increase substantially midway while the work was being done.

When this was brought up, they claimed it was a mistake on their part. I felt stuck to continue the work as they had already done half of it. I later fund out from my next dentist that Dr. Gross was really overpriced and I had great coverage on my insurance. TIP- make sure you get a quote of the work to be done in writing. Extremely painful- I found Dr. Gross to be extremely heavy handed and not empathetic to patient's sense of pain.

It almost seemed as if he enjoyed causing pain, the way the needle was jammed into my gums. I've had other dentists give anesthesia and it was not painful. TIP-no tips for this unless you're into pain. Dental Work- had to see two specialists after seeing Dr. Gross. Both dentists stated he did a horrible job and did not follow textbook guidelines for a bridge.

As a result I lost 2 teeth and spent more than $6000 out of pocket b/c by then my insurance premium was completely stripped by holistic dentists and Dr. Gross. TIP-get a second opinion and quote from another dentist before proceeding with this establishment. I came here because Dr. Gross markets himself as a holistic dentist. Far from it it was the most painful, frustrating and conventional dental experience. If I could give zero stars I would.

Went for a check up & cleaning yesterday and by far the best dentist experience ever. Dr. Verma and staff was very professional and supportive. The consultation (or dental plan) with Dr. Verma was really why I would go back. It felt very personal.

Called up for an appointment and they scheduled one. They stated over the phone that my insurance was accepted. When I arrived they informed me that they did NOT take my insurance and the visit would be over 200 dollars! What a scam! This place is money hungry and only cares about making a profit. They do not take major dental insurance and care only about the profit and NOT THE PATIENT. Save your money and time and go elsewhere!

This is my second review for them. While I do find them a little expensive I really do love Dr. Verma. She brings great energy to the office and answers ALL of my questions. She isn't pushy or condescending and she would be the reason I keep coming back. The female hygienist is also great.

Apart from being Holistic, which is fantastic, this place is so welcoming. Dr. Gross is very friendly and personable. I felt very comfortable getting my inlay put in. I also recommended Holistic Dentists to My friend who needed to get her wisdom teeth taken out and her experience was generally pain free and she didn't have to go under. She was in and out in such a short time and totally with is after her surgery. Holistic Dentistry is the new kind of dentist experience!

I was recommended to these people when I had an emergency and they were near my job. At first things seemed okay.then I noticed that they were just doing whatever they wanted in my mouth sometimes with no explanation and then before I knew it they would tell me I ran out of insurance for the year. When I would ask for a print out of what was done they could never seem to provide it. (of course, I have to be responsible for not asking enough questions.but I hate going to the dentist so much, that I just wanted to get out whenever I am there).

Last thing was going in to ask about a cosmetic procedure, and the dentist, Dr. Gross, tried to really soak me for the cost. (I said I would research around he practically ran after me as I tried to leave offering me more and more discounts.and when I finally said I would think about it again.he started offering me other things, like."How about we just fill a filling while your here -- or maybe a cleaning"). It felt wierd and random and I wound up getting the cosmetic procedure done elsewhere for almost HALF the price! ($2,000 vs. $4,000).

Dr. Verma is the best! Very personable and very skilled. I was treated by her at Holistic Dentists during a dental emergency--an old filling on a very deep cavity had gone bad and was causing me considerable discomfort. The office worked me into their schedule the same day that I called and worked it out with my insurance while Dr. Verma worked on my tooth and saved it!

She is very nice and works quickly and very efficiently and seemingly with great skill. Now my new crown fits perfectly, excellent bite, and no more discomfort. I recommend this place.
