Gentle Family Dentistry Center for Implants & Facial Aesthetics: Reviews
Negative experience: I did not even step foot inside this establishment and was met with snapping and rude customer service by the Manager Jenna over the phone. I had initially made an appointment and was given the following day which was good. However I received a call from Melissa (who is very nice btw) to tell me they couldn’t verify the insurance. I made some calls to the insurance company who explained to me why the dentist wasn’t able to verify the information, even though I do still have dental insurance and an active plan. There was a mishap with the insurance company so I completely get why the dentist office would charge me out of pocket as they couldn’t verify. The insurance representative called me back and told me she spoke to Jenna and she was very rude and told the rep she was not comfortable with me coming to the office for my appointment. So I called the dentist to cancel this appointment since they were not comfortable with me going in (I was willing to pay out of pocket) they asked me why I was canceling and I told them because Jenna was not comfortable with me coming in today. They put Jenna on the phone and she explained why. She asked me if I wanted to cancel this appointment and like I said I was willing to pay out of pocket but wanted to call the insurance one more time. I asked Jenna if I could call back and give an answer and she gave me a nasty tone and attitude saying “well I can’t do that! My hygienist is coming in and your appointment is 90 mins long” I said ok go ahead and cancel then (as I don’t want to waste anyone’s time). She continues to say in her nasty tone “do you want me to delete your file as well?” wow you already determined that you do not want me there as a client? So I told her the insurance rep told me you were nasty and I agree. Go ahead and delete that file, as I do not want your services any more and I don’t appreciate the customer service offered. She processed to ask me why and how she was rude, and I explained to her the nasty tone and attitude and her response was “well there’s been a lot of back and forth and calls today!” Oh so you just take it out on the customer because you’re overwhelmed? An unacceptable excuse! I was on the phone with the insurance company for 2hrs before I even called her and not once gave her nasty/rude tone or attitude. This is unacceptable service and Jenna needs to reevaluate her responses to customers when she becomes flustered.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We take all concerns seriously and would like to clarify what occurred. Each time we reached out to your dental insurance provider, we were informed that there was no active dental coverage on file. Shortly afterward, your medical insurance provider contacted our office regarding your coverage. We explained to the medical representative that our office only bills dental insurance, not medical, and that we could still see you for your scheduled appointment as an out-of-pocket visit until your dental coverage could be verified. When you called, Jenna explained that the medical and dental policies are separate and that the representative could not provide the required dental group number. She also made clear that we were willing to see you until the insurance situation was resolved, and once your dental coverage was confirmed, we would be more than happy to submit your claim and reimburse you for any eligible services. You mentioned you would confirm by midday whether to proceed, but because your appointment was later that afternoon, we needed to finalize the schedule. When you decided to cancel, Jenna asked whether you wanted us to keep your family file for future visits or delete it to protect your information. We’re sorry if any part of our communication came across as less than courteous. Our goal is always to provide professional, respectful service while working within insurance verification requirements. We regret that this experience left you with a negative impression and wish you the best moving forward. Sincerely, Dr. Gangji
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going this office for my teeth checkout for couple years. It’s a great clinic with excellent service. The manager Jenna was very helpful. Maria and Dr. Patel were professional. Highly recommended!
Many thanks for your review. We really appreciate it.
Dr Gangji
Fantastic experience: I really love this place! I’ve been coming here for a long time, but this is actually my first time writing a review. The founder and the whole dental team are awesome — super nice and really good at what they do. Mathew does amazing work every time, and I always feel like I’m in good hands. Definitely recommend them for dental cleanings and other treatments — they take great care of you. The only small downside is the front office — they can be a bit grumpy sometimes . But everyone else here makes up for it with their kindness and professionalism. Overall, this is a fantastic dental office that I truly trust. I’ll definitely keep coming back!
Fantastic experience: Only my first visit but I had many unpleasant experiences. This was a refreshing change from any I had before. Finally not in a panick about going to the dentist.
Fantastic experience: Amazing and personable staff. Flawless remodel. The parking lot can be tight/full depending on the time you go, but there is street parking. It feels like a family as soon as you walk in. There is advanced dental care and they offer the best recommendations. Do not wait to schedule because they are full at least 3 months ahead ( which is great!).
Fantastic experience: Always a good visit from when you walk in to leaving. Everyone is always pleasant and make you comfortable.
Fantastic experience: I’m going to start this review with I absolutely loathe the dentist. I can’t stand the sounds of the drill, and anything associated with the dentist. I was fearful of the dentist since I was a child. That has changed. I did not feel a thing. I was at ease after my second visit, so much so that I could almost fall asleep in the chair. The people there explained everything, checked on my well being and treated me extremely well. If I had this level of care throughout my life, I would never have had a problem with my teeth. I can’t say enough good things about the staff there.
Fantastic experience: Best Dentist , very friendly and professional, caring and took the worries about been at the dentist.
Fantastic experience: I've always had excellent service from Higuienitas and Doctors, and the administration and reception staff are very professional. They're also very punctual.
Fantastic experience: This is a very knowledgeable dentistry. And I will recommend it to anyone who was looking for a good dentist
Fantastic experience: BEST dentists around!! From the front desk to the dentists, and the hygienists you can’t go wrong. Everyone is so nice and accommodating. Trust me, you need to come here.
Many thanks Vicki , very grateful to have you as well Dr gangji
Fantastic experience: I love this place they all are really nice and definitely friendly ♀️thank u guys for just being use Gentle Family dentistry
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient for many years. The office staff, dental assistants and dentists are courteous, knowledgeable and professional. The dental procedures, whether it is a cleaning or implants are state of the art. The office building, which was just renovated and expanded to offer additional services, is stunning and impeccably clean and modern. When you are a patient at GFD you are treated with the utmost care, all at one office. I recommend GFD highly!
Fantastic experience: Their care is in their name Gentle Family Dentistry. Very happy with their service. Location is great just a few blocks from home.
Fantastic experience: Best practice in the Lehigh Valley. Very thorough, explains everything. Friendly staff. Very accommodating with appointments. Ace, the Hygientist, is awesome! She did a deep cleaning on my teeth. Very gentle, explained everything. Top notch, highly recommended. Dr Patel is doing a great job working on my teeth.
Fantastic experience: Honestly best experience I’ve had they are transparent and extremely helpful and make you feel at ease so happy I found them!
Fantastic experience: The people at the Gentle Family Dentistry are very friendly and helpful. Knowledgeable staff, good doctors. Going to the dentist is rarely an enjoyable experience, but these folks make it as pleasant as possible and I recommend them.
Fantastic experience: The Dental Hygienist “ Ace, her Nick Name” Did an Incredible Job Cleaning my teeth today. Probably the Best hygienist I’ve ever had! Thorough cleaning without drama. Extremely courteous, positive responses and self help tips. Extremely Gentle with every part of the examination. Highly recommended!! Wayne Whitesell
Fantastic experience: My dental hygienist was very professional and informative. Would definitely recommend her.
Positive experience: Very clean, very professional straight to the point. With any dental needs and concerns highly recommend
Fantastic experience: The staff here is five stars. They take their time to explain things to you. You are not treated like just another number here.

Many thx Jay
Dr Gangji
Fantastic experience: Wow! First visit there and Dr. Patel was able to fix something that I was told could not be fixed! Staff was very friendly and the doctors were fabulous!
Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Riyaz Gangi and his exceptional staff. From the moment I walked into the office, I was met with warmth, compassion, and a level of professionalism that immediately put me at ease. After a difficult experience with a previous dentist — where I was advised to remove more of my natural teeth — I was disheartened and hesitant. But Dr. Gangi took a completely different approach. He believes in preserving and restoring natural teeth whenever possible, and his thoughtful, restorative philosophy gave me both hope and confidence. His clinical expertise is matched by his genuine care for his patients. Truly a class act and a rare find in today’s healthcare landscape. I’ve already recommended others to his practice, and I’ll be sending my entire family to him as well. If you’re looking for a dentist who combines skill, integrity, and kindness, Dr. Gangi is the one.
Many thanks for the kind words

Fantastic experience: Just had my first treatment with GFD and must admit it was a very pleasant experience. Jane's guidance throughout the process was exceptional. Her precision getting to the root issue of my teeth without causing any discomfort or pain felt like I was in the good hands of a World-Class Surgeon. I look forward to this long journey I am about to partake in with GFD to get my dental hygiene where it needs to be and have a masterpiece of a smile for a lifetime!
Fantastic experience: My 11-year-old son had an appointment today at Gentle Family Dentistry, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and at ease. Matt, who treated my son, was fantastic—kind, patient, and professional. He explained everything clearly, which really helped my son feel comfortable. We were also pleasantly surprised that Matt was able to complete same-day sealants during the visit, which saved us a return trip and added convenience to our busy schedule. A special thank you to Jenna, the office manager and also a dental hygienist, who went above and beyond to assist us with our insurance. We were having difficulty locating our coverage information, and she patiently helped us sort everything out with a level of care and professionalism that truly stood out. The team at Gentle Family Dentistry lives up to their name. Their attention to both dental care and customer service is exceptional. We’re very grateful and will definitely continue trusting them with our family’s dental needs.
Fantastic experience: I scheduled an appointment and they already had an appointment the next day. They are very nice and professional. I would refer them to my family & friends.
Thank you for your review, Caroline

Positive experience: I was evaluated by Dr. Ramirez and Dental hygienist Megan who was grateful did a great job and education by not knowing that I was brushing wrong and not using dental floss my gums are getting bad so never was explained to me and also the toothpaste should not be washed off who new ??? I really thanks Megan Thanks for greatjob and education.
Fantastic experience: I am extremely pleased with the care I received from Dr. Patel. I have tremendous anxiety with the dentist and have always had a positive experience with him. I broke a tooth while on vacation and they were able to see me and fix my tooth upon my return. I highly recommend Gentle Family Dentistry.
Fantastic experience: Apparently it was more relaxing then I thought. I wanted to be asleep for fear of pain. Well, doctor Lucas when he saw me fall asleep. That's how relaxed I was. I need not say anything but, thanks guys!
Many thanks for the review
Dr gangji
Fantastic experience: As a first time patient, I truly have to say that it was a great experience from setting the appointment, to visiting with the doctor. Everyone show that they care.
Positive experience: Matthew Rivas was fantastic with our son. After four years with Family Gentle, we wouldn't consider going anywhere else. They are economical, friendly, professional, and highly qualified.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ramirez was very approachable and made my anxious son feel extremely comfortable having his cavities filled. I would highly recommend him and his practice.
Fantastic experience: went in for my normal checkup/cleaning and they addressed an issue i had with an old filling the same day. i almost fell sleep in the chair as they were doing the filling. i cannot recommend them enough! dont look for any other dentist, this is the place you need to go!
Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in the right place. The front desk staff greeted me with such warmth and professionalism it instantly put me at ease. Everyone I encountered, from the dental assistants and hygienists to the doctors themselves, was friendly, informative, and genuinely caring. What stood out the most is how they focus on your needs without being pushy. They take the time to explain everything clearly and work with you to create a personalized a treatment plan that feels right. The office is absolutely beautiful—modern, clean, and welcoming. Every area is spotless and well-maintained, which speaks volumes about the level of care and attention they provide. If you’re looking for a dentist who offers top-notch care in a relaxing, respectful environment, look no further this is the place!
Fantastic experience: It was my first appointment and it was great, as it could be. I have dental anxiety and they were informative and non judgemental.
Thank you for visiting our office and posting this positive review . We really appreciate you.
Dr. Gangji
Fantastic experience: Best dental office! I was visiting my daughter from out of town and had an emergency. They were able to squeeze me in and treat me. I would highly recommend them this is now my new favorite place to go to for Botox too. I travel here just for the service. They always make me laugh on instagram too ❤️
Thank you so much for your favorable review of our office .
Dr Gangji
Fantastic experience: The hygienist (Megan?) was the best! She was able to work with my time constraint and gave me real numbers after checking my insurance before proceeding! Dr popped in and was sweet as pie! I will be back :)

I would recommend Dr Patel and gentry Family dental to anyone who is looking to either maintain a healthy smile or to regain a healthy smile with standard dental procedures including feelings root canal veneers implants and any other dental procedures
Fantastic experience: Every one there is helpful, caring and friendly. Today I had Matthew working on my teeth, he was quite amazing! Thanks Matt!

For the fearful for the brave for the young for the old it was awesome and I look forward to my dental journey with Gentle Dentistry. They live up to their name. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic experience: Just had my last implant procedure this week and so happy with the results. Dr. Patel was so great to work with! he let’s you know step by step what he is doing and makes sure you are doing okay during the whole procedure. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
Fantastic experience: I haven't been to the dentist for almost 10 years due to my dental anxiety. My husband has been coming to this office and always has great things to say. He assured me I would be taken care of and will be fine. After reading some the reviews I decided to make an appt. SO HAPPY I DID!! The staff and the doctor were GREAT!! They explained everything to me and made me feel so much better about this visit. I HIGHLY recommend this office!!
Thank you so much for recommending our office Lori
Dr. Gangji
Fantastic experience: Dr Gangji was prepared to cope with my incisiveness, and did not go forward with my implant step. He respected my need for a second opinion of an Endo specialist. That comforted me.
Fantastic experience: Dental practice is very accommodating to the needs of their patient. The hygienist, Jane, was thorough, explaining my images and answering my questions. The receptionists will always do appointment reminders and inform you of any out of pocket costs ahead of time. The office renovation was both beautiful and comfortable.
Fantastic experience: Dr Lucas is the best. He explains what he is doing and makes you feel very comfortable. It truly is Gentle …. Family Dentistry.
Fantastic experience: Today was my 1st day going to this place and it was a wonderful experience. I truly recommend this for everyone. In the Lehigh valley i'm anticipating my next visit. Dr g and matt is the driving force? Of this business. The energy in hospitality, and professionalism it's unbelievable. One of the lady's that work there suggest to me to try her office for dental care because I was looking for a good dentist. All I can say is thank you jenna ❤️ much love
Thank you for the kind words
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ramirez, Jenna and hygienists Jane and Megan (sp?), plus the sweet girl at check-in and check-out, were wonderful! The remodel was beautifully done, and it’s always pristine. It’s accessible, a big plus for my family, and the new, wider ramp is great. We’re very happy with GFD. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient for 20 years, had my Invisalign done at the Easton Ave office, regular check ups, and all my dental needs! I especially love Jenna and Dr. Rameriz, not to mention Dr. Ghangi is the sweetest, funniest and best dentist iv ever had! They are all very professional and I consider them my friends. They are all great and truly GENTLE. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️
Fantastic experience: Great visit at Gentle Family Dentistry! Loved their newly renovated office spaces and am always impressed with their staff and their professionalism. I had an excellent hygienist (Megan) who did a thorough cleaning and also had a detailed consult with Dr. Gangji about options for fixing my tooth sensitivity. He cares a great deal about his patient's oral health. I definitely recommend this practice.
Fantastic experience: All the hygienists and dentists are amazing. Everyone is super friendly. Amazing job on the new office remodeling. The hygienist Jane was a sweetheart and very good at her job. The front desk receptionist Melissa, Maria and Stacey are the very welcoming and warm spirited. Always a pleasure at every visit. The dentists are very thorough, very nice and knowledgeable. Highly recommended by me. Never had a problem or dissatisfaction at Gentle Family Dentistry.
Fantastic experience: Gentle Dental has the best professional staff ever, starting from Jenna the treatment coordinator to the front desk. I’ve had the pleasure to be seen by Dr. Ramirez and Dr. Gangji annd they’re both so Amazing, they are so interested in your desires and needs and the communication is so great! Thank you all for always making my visits pleasant, welcoming and comforting!!!
Fantastic experience: I called and they got my son in the same day when he needed to be seen as a new patient. I was very pleased with the staff. I thought they were all absolutely amazing and I highly recommend them
Fantastic experience: My grandson had a terrible toothache this morning, so I called GFDentistry to see if they could take him in the office today and pull the tooth. Here it is a wisdom tooth and we found out he has all 4 wisdoms and the teeth need to come out. We got referred to an Oral Surgeon , so this is our plan. As soon as the oral surgeon calls us back, we will set up his appointment, and have the teeth removed. Then fill his couple of fillings he needs.I can't tell you how wonderful we were treated at this emergency visit. All our questions were answered, the bill was my grandson's co pay. They told us everything he needed done. The office was remodeled and is gorgeous. Thank you GF Dentistry for all your help and kindness. We will be back for all his work and we will refer you to others.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Rameriz and staff are absolutely wonderful! They are gentle and compassionate. Would highly recommend this office, especially with people who have anxiety when going to the dentist..
Fantastic experience: this was my first time here and I had a great experience. The front desk was super friendly and tentative and my dental hygienist, Matt, was awesome. He was very thorough with his cleaning and made sure to leave me with a bunch of recommendations and tips on how to better improve my oral health. Overall, 10 out of 10 experience and will be going back.
Thank you, John. Really appreciate the review.
Dr. Gangji
Fantastic experience: The staff is so friendly and communication is a clear value of this business because you're always kept in the loop regarding scheduling and pricing. I've been going here for 4 years now and I've never had a bad experience, from desk staff to hygienist to dentist. They're always great about questions I have, very personable, and always looking to take a closer look at concerns you might have. Their technology is super up to date/advanced and their new remodel has the place looking brand new and just overall amazing inside! Highly recommend this practice if you're in need of any type of dental care from simple to complex.
Really appreciate your review Lizzie
Thx u , Dr Gangji
Fantastic experience: I had ZOOM teeth whitening treatment done by Paola. Paola is friendly and very professional. She explained the procedure in detail and completed without issue. All of my experiences at Gentle Family Dentistry have been amazing. All of the Doctors and staff members are friendly and knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: I had my first appointment just this morning and I wanted to RUN to leave this review. The staff was very friendly, but I'd like to make a special shout out to Azure. She was so kind and understanding. I deal with severe depression and I got emotional during my appointment. She spent time with me and talked to me. She was so sweet and reassuring, she even gave me a hug. I will definitely be back, and I'm going to request to see her every time. She's truly wonderful and I want to give her the credit she deserves. Give the girl a RAISE!
Thank you, Megan
We really value you as our patient many thanks Dr. Gangji .
Negative experience: Was planning on getting my second implant done with Gangi and called to get a consultation to way my option of implant or partial for a molar I had removed a few months back. Call for an appointment and was told he could see me today. When I got there they already want to charge me for a scan and consultation fee which I was upset because if they would’ve told me this on the phone I wouldn’t have wasted my time! I’m just tired of this place and searching for new local dentist. Place has become too much of a money hog.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I want to address your concerns and clarify our approach.
First, I’d like to apologize if the fees were not explained upfront. Since this would have been your second implant with us, it’s possible we assumed you were familiar with our protocols. Nonetheless, I regret any inconvenience this caused. If you had discussed it with me, I would have gladly worked with you, as I’ve always done for my patients over the last 32 years.
Our implant treatments are performed with extremely high success rates, well above the national average. This is due to the meticulous planning and care we provide, including the use of CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) and optical scans, which help us avoid issues such as nerve damage, sinus complications, or prosthetic challenges. By ensuring precision and quality in every step, we deliver long-term results and exceptional value to our patients.
I appreciate your trust and am always available to discuss your options further. Please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Warm regards,
Dr. R. Gangji
Fantastic experience: I am so happy I found this dental office!! I had to leave my previous dentist due to an unfixed issue with my teeth. They said I did not have any issues that couldn’t be solved with salt water and braces. When I came here, my exam was thorough and all aspects of care were explained. Matt was my hygienist and he was extremely professional and knowledgeable when taking X-rays and doing my initial oral check. He also completed my deep cleaning, where he took his time and made sure to address any of my concerns. The dentist who saw me was Dr. Ramirez and he informed me of treatment options and explained my care plan. This was a great experience!!
Fantastic experience: Jenna helped verify my insurance and took the time to speak with me about treatment. I haven’t felt that “bedside manner” anywhere else. She really helped me get through the week. Matt was awesome as well. Everyone here at the Bethlehem office is great!
Fantastic experience: I've amended and updated this review a few times this summer as I was in need of work on a cracked tooth. While a visit to the dentist doesn't often top many people's lists of "fun things to do," for those of us who are sexual abuse survivors, it's traumatizing and in my personal case, required much physical, mental and emotional prep before each of the (almost) 4 trips to evaluate (Dr. G), create the mold for the permanent crown and place the temporary crown (Dr. Mantilla), and final 2 permanent crown placements (Dr. G). The reason I chose this practice was because years ago, I chipped a front tooth and they were open during Covid and were able to take me right away. The Dr. who saw me took his mask off. In my very first review, I carefully expressed my negative feelings regarding that experience. Dr. G called me on my phone, completely catching me off guard and I was completely moved. He told me that he's help me anytime I needed. Well. it took a few years to "need," however when I did call, he took the time though it's not his primary role and saw me. It was a very positive experience and I disclosed my abuse history to him and he was very kind and receptive. My next experience was with Dr. Mantilla and my review (that I had to delete because I didn't know how to leave multiple reviews in succession) was not of him or his work but of my personal experience, in the hopes that dentists might try taking patients' histories (if they choose to disclose) into some sort of consideration when they begin the process of doing the work itself. I have many ideas on how this could be implemented however that's not why I'm writing this review. Dr. G spoke to me softly and soothingly and I think it's his regular way, however it calmed all of my anxieties and fear and my feelings of past trauma were soothed away. I understand that all Drs have different styles for each job they do as well as different personalities. Dr. Mantilla was extremely competent and I appreciated his thoroughness. He did his best to put me at as much ease at what his part entailed allowed. Because it was very invasive and multiply stimulating, it was triggering for me. That, in no way, was his fault. He did his job and did it well and I'm grateful. I go back tomorrow and Dr. G will be permanently cementing my permanent crown and then I'm taking a "break" from the office for a while to "recover"(interjected humor). I am very grateful and would recommend this practice and to especially encourage anyone who is afraid to go to the dentist for whatever reason, to share with your Dr. You have a voice and it's up to you to advocate for yourself. It can only empower you and help in your relationship with your Dr. It definitely did for me. I will return after I get things paid off because I know I need more done. After tomorrow and for a while, I will be unwinding because it's been much more than dental work for me. I hope this review helps empower others and let Dr. G know that he truly impacted me. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Gangji was amazing! Great to talk to and super passionate about his work. My Invisalign process has been super smooth with his guidance :)
Jason, Really appreciate the kind words

Dr Gangji
Fantastic experience: My hygienist, Matthew, was very attentive regarding my health and well being. His manner is incredibly pleasant and his work both precise and thorough. He has a "light" touch which immediately put me at ease and allowed me to feel comfortable in the dentist chair.
Thx u Mark, Matt is indeed pleasant and professional, I will pass on your kind words to him
Many thanks , Dr Gangji
Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience! My 15 year old was self-conscience about a chipped tooth and they made her look brand new! Thanks for giving our girl a huge reason to smile!!! Switching the whole family over to this great team of friendly and genuine professionals.
many thanks Rachael, for kind review
Dr Gangji
Fantastic experience: Truly the best dental facility I’ve ever been to (and I’ve been to a few in a few different states). From the dentist to the office manager, a wonderful experience for something that could easily be traumatizing. The utmost professionals as well as kind and understanding. I would recommend to anyone and everyone!
Fantastic experience: I just had my first cleaning at the Bethlehem office. The hygienist was nice, calm, and explained everything she was doing. I don't usually like going to the dentist, but I definitely feel comfortable going back. Also, my teeth have never looked or felt so clean!
Fantastic experience: I joined this practice last week as a new patient at Gentle Family Dentistry in their Bethlehem Office. The staff has been amazing. They are friendly, helpful, professional, and accommodating. My hygienist was knowledgeable and gentle. I immediately scheduled my three children for their 6 month cleanings. My children each had a wonderful experience with different hygienists and dentists. Thank you, Bethlehem Office! We will be life-long patients!
Fantastic experience: By far this is the dentist I have ever been to! Starting with the treatment coordinator, Jenna, who went over my treatment plan in-depth. She gave me a full understanding of what to expect. I've never been to an office that truly made me feel like a part of their family! Dr. Gandji did anterior crowns and they look better than I could have ever imagined!!
Fantastic experience: I have been going here for a few years now for my dental cleanings and have been very satisfied. The staff at the front desk are always through with confirming appointment times and check in/payment. My dental hygienist is Jane and she is awesome - does great work and is very personable and enjoyable to talk to. Thank you for being a great dental hygienist Jane! Never had any problems here, would definitely recommend!
many thanks for the kind review Kyle

Fantastic experience: Your welcome. Anytime you guys are honestly the best dentist office I have ever been to. When you make an appt you honor that appointment time you don’t make people wait forever. The time you make your appointment for is when you get called into the office and you’re also quick efficient and friendly. You guys are definitely professionals and I respect everyone in your office especially those I have had the pleasure of being seen by like Dr. Patel, Dr Gangji and Paula and there are a few others I apologize I don’t remember everyone’s name but thank you to each and everyone of you for being so nice and good at what you do and a place that I actually like going to. You guys are truly the best!
many thanks for the kind words, Cheryl

Fantastic experience: During this visit I got a deep cleaning with local antibiotics. My hygienist was Ro. She was AMAZING! She was kind, gentle, skillful, thorough and informative. I am pleased with the results and I feel like she didn’t rush the process. I got to my 9am appointment about 10 minutes early. Check in was quick and I was called in to begin at 9:02am. The administrative staff at the desk were friendly and inviting. If you’re someone who has dental anxiety, this is definitely a place where you can have a much easier time getting through your dental visit with less stress.
appreciate the review Drea

Fantastic experience: I got a teeth cleaning and some fillings for cavities here and everything went by very well. The doctor who did the fillings was very nice and funny, and he made sure that I wasn’t uncomfortable in any way. The receptionists are also very nice here, and i will definitely be coming back in 6 months to keep up with my teeth cleanings!
Yamilette, , thank you for the kind words appreciate the time that you took for the positive review
thx , dr Gangji
Fantastic experience: Gentle Family Dentistry deserves its name. Every person I’ve come across working at the Bethlehem location has been incredibly kind and most of all gentle. I’ve been to several different dentists in my life but this is the only one I leave with a smile every time.
Benjamin, thank you for the kind words

Fantastic experience: Gentle Family Dentistry has been lovely. All of the employees have been polite and warm. They have done everything they can to get me in and schedule for any appointments as quickly as possible. During appointments they've taken the time to explain every step of the procedures and make sure I'm comfortable the entire time. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ramirez is absolutely phenomenal! I’ve struggled with dental issues for years due to genetics and health issues, and I really thought there was no help for my teeth, but he’s done everything to fix my smile and help me feel confident again. Myself and my family have been coming to him for years and will continue to for as long as he’s in practice (the rest of the staff is so kind and wonderful as well and I can’t say enough good things about them!).
Will pass your message and review to Dr Ramirez. Thank you Emilie
Dr Gangji
Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! I do not look forward to going to the dentist but everyone here is highly knowledgeable and makes you feel very comfortable. Dr Gangji treats you like family and you can tell he really cares about the patients. I would highly recommended you visit this practice!!
Fantastic experience: I went in for oral surgery and Dr. Patel elaborated on the procedure before starting. I was extremely nervous at first. He gave me a pillow to squeeze and asked me to raise my hand if I felt any sort of abnormal pains. The surgery took about 20 mins total and I did not experience any pain during the process. Dr. Patel has such vibrant and cheerful energy. It was truly a wonderful experience.
Jesslyn, thank you for the kind words.
Fantastic experience: VERY happy with my experience so far at GFD! The staff is wonderful! Everyone is very friendly, the hygienists are patient and take the time to explain things. Front office is also very professional. Clean environment! Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ramirez is the most amazing dentist I have ever had the pleasure of knowing! Excellent chairside manner! Great team of people in the Bethlehem location. Front desk folks are very courteous and knowledgeable. Dr. Ramirez deserves a reality show on E!
Thank you John , your review is very important to us and we will always do our utmost to provide quality dental care
Many Thanks
Positive experience: Pros: Dr. Ramirez is skilled and has some high quality dad jokes. Really good assistants. Cleanings here are painless Cons: They overcharge you by a lot! Feisty front desk ladies. Very little after surgery direction. Not Ideal for bigger dental procedures. No anesthesia for surgeries and extractions
Hello, Joshua, thank you for your review. I was wondering what we could do next time to earn a five star review
please feel free to reach out to me if there’s any issues that you had at the office or anything that could be improved.
Sincerely, Dr.Gangji
Fantastic experience: Exceptional from the front-desk personnel through to the dental services. I was fortunate to see Dr. Paola and Dr. Patel to address cavities. They are beyond compare. I really value their patient centered approach. They made sure they I understood the process and that I didn’t feel any pain during my filings. Would eagerly recommend this dental office to others.
Fantastic experience: I have been with this clinic last 6-7months, Dr. Patel is very knowledgeable and friendly. He treated my daughter and was great with her! Office staff was great and. helped us through the process smoothly, especially Jenna. Thank you so much!
Maggi, really appreciate your review. Many thanks
Dr Gangji
Fantastic experience: The care I received at Gentle Family Dentistry is amazing. The team worked so hard to make sure my appointment was smooth. Jenna took care of everything for me and Dr.Gangji and Dr.Patel along with his assistant ensured that I receive utmost level of patient experience at the office. Highly recommend.
Thank you for the kind words
Dr Gangji
Fantastic experience: I'm embarrassed to admit I have not been to a dentist in 17 years due to anxiety I've had in the past with dentists. Christine and Dr. Patel made me feel extremely comfortable at my appointment, they did not shame me for waiting so long which I appreciate and I left feeling good and calm about this appointment and looking forward to my next visit! Brooke and Jenna were also extremely tentative and friendly which helped ease the anxiety.
Brittany, thank you for the kind words, really appreciate you as our patient

Fantastic experience: We switched to Gentle Dental due to our benefits. They’re in network. For years we continued using an out-of-network dentist and paid a lot out of pocket because we had horrible experiences with other practices. When we got hit with an $800 bill for our son, we decided to try another in-network practice. Anyway, after three years of lack of dental care due to Covid, I had a lot of treatments to be completed, scaling, four fractured fillings, one cavity, and a fractured tooth that requires a root canal and crown. I need a bridge due to a back tooth loss from a horrible dentist years ago. I'm incredibly nervous about needles, So you can imagine the level of anxiety and fears I had. Dr. Patel was amazing, caring, and compassionate about my fears and took his time with me. His side chair, Melissa, was just as impressive. Along with the hygienists. I didn't require any numbing for the scaling and no after-pain. They have state-of-the-art equipment, so no more uncomfortable x-rays, radiation exposure, or a heavy protector on your chest. There was a mix-up on my appointment in the beginning, which caused the office staff and myself to go back and forth. She was very abrasive on the phone. However, my experience going forward has been nothing but perfect. I'm very surprised by the few times I've been there; I'm recognized by name and not by an appointment booking. Well done to this team of dentists and their staff.
Thank you Brenda
Fantastic experience: I am terrified of the dentist and Gentle Family Dentistry helped me overcome this fear. I have extremely long roots and needed an extraction after I broke a tooth. As a new patient who was in extreme pain and also very embarrassed and humiliated over my situation, this entire team made me feel welcome and provided me with options to best fix my broken tooth. I never felt like I was being sold unnecessary treatments like I did visiting other dental offices. I felt like I was being given affordable solutions that would be best for my oral and overall health. When I came in for my procedure, Dr Patel was patient and reassuring and I didn’t feel a thing! I am actually looking forward to coming back to the office and maintaining a beautiful smile for years to come under the care of this office. I even made an appointment for my son because I realized one of the best gifts you can give your child is a great dentist and you will find one here at Gentle Family Dentistry.
Thank you Odessa , we really appreciate you as our patient
Many thx for sharing your experience at our office
