Dr. Gamber was a partner with my previous dentist, now retired. I've always had a good experience with him. He's knowledgeable, current with all modern techniques, congenial, and, I suppose what's equally important, respectful and not condescending in the least (I've run into occasional medical/dental professionals who feel the need to lecture...Dr. Gamber doesn't lecture; he discusses--there's a difference.) His staff is teriffic also. As for cost, I'm not entirely sure where he falls along the price spectrum because for one, I have been going to this practice for over 20 years and don't have a basis for comparison (and I also have dental insurance). With respect for the pain aspect, I have never had any issues with pain or a phobia of dentists (gotta love novacaine!). I have every reason to stick with Dr. Gamber for my dental health for many years to come.
