out of Read Reviews for Dr. Michael Gioia
dr gioia bonded 3 of my front teeth that broke in an accident. they DID give me an appt right away, however staff was & is a bit cold. when i returned 5 months later(as the bonding seemed to be wearing down very quickly) i made the appt to ONLY CHECK the $1650.00 of work recently done, because, as i told the receptionist, i could not afford the 100$ cleaning at the time. this appt lasted NO MORE THAN 5 minutes. i was given 2 expensive options, & was charged SIXTY NINE DOLLARS! this, after being clear that i could not afford the 100$ cleaning!! would it not occur to staff to extend this extreme price information PRIOR TO the appt knowing the patient cannot afford it? i am appalled, disappointed , angry & broke thanks to the treatment from dr gioias office.

Staff is very unfriendly. All of my work has been done needed to be re-done because of errors on their part. My teeth still have achy spots from their work. I would not recommend this place to anyone- not even my worst enemy! Be sure to stay away!!
disorganized. billed me wrong too.
About Front Desk: I have never had such a negative experience with a dentist. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS!!

He will get you in with a coupon for free services and then try to get you to follow a super-expensive treatment without consideration for more cost effective alternatives that might work just as well.

This was the worst experience of my life!!! After paying $14K worth of work done in 2008, every bit of it has to be ripped out now in 2011 and replaced! I've live through HELL with the work that was done on me!!! The implants he did never worked right. When he was done, only 2 teeth in my entire mouth aligned for chewing. He broke my upper jaw bone by dislodging the implant and had to reset it (by trying to force a deformed and poorly cast implant bridge) which cost me another several months of healing. The "permanent" implants and bridge never lasted more than a day or two before they came loose and fell out. The "permanent" crowns popped out within a week. My entire front tooth bite line is a 1/16 inch off from left to right (Yes, I measured it). Doc G is a nice guy, but his work stinks!!! STAY AWAY!!!
