Dr. Richard D. Gruntz is the best of the best! Believe me. ;) I have been to some quacks that call themselves dentists but are not really dentists at heart. Some of them started OK and ended pretty much almost destroying all my teeth and causing TMJD (Temporary Mandibular Joint Disorder it affects your jaw and it is not fun), they completely changed my bite and in the process emptied my wallet. Dentistry is expensive, yes, I understand that, but some dentists are really greedy and while they work on you are already thinking which machine they are going to buy next or what trip or cruise is the wife going to take or where they are going next on vacation. Hmmm Going to the mechanic. If you get with a crooked mechanic, he can destroy your car and never end working on it. Same thing with a dentist a false touch with the drill that you cannot feel while your whole mouth is numb and you will never leave their office. You need to know what is wrong with your teeth before you enter their consult. Well, to my surprise this has been a completely different experience. Some people might not like that he does not work with insurance companies, but he will give you the paper work and you can submit it yourself, the insurance company will pay what they are suppose to even quicker than when submitted by a dentist. Sometimes the dentist waits quite some time to send this forms or they have to hire extra people to do this and they pass the charge to you. Anyways it is not that terrible or hard. Dr. Gruntz was a God-sent to me and probably to some other people that have gone through the horrifying ordeals I have gone through. This man listens to me and obviously loves his profession and is proud of being a dentist, he is also a perfectionist and he seems to genuinely enjoy seeing people with beautiful smiles . He is extremely gentle and careful. It is the first time in 30 years that I have gone to a dentist where I DID NOT have my gums bleeding or was in pain when I got out of their office and on my way home. Just that is a double plus. No pain? Is that Miracle? of course not, things were just done the right way and that is the simple reality, no miracle was performed. I have become a normal person again and I am not afraid of the dentist, dentist's office or dentist chair anymore, he does not put me to sleep or give me therapy and I get out of there as I went in without having my mouth and face numb for a day. Dr. Gruntz has butterfly hands ;). He has restored my faith in the dental profession. I like that very much!! ;) and I am a happy camper with a pretty smile again.

I know this doctor: About a Month and a half. My husband has been going to him a little over 2 years.
