Terrible experience. Waited about 45 before being seen by hygienist. Hygienist thought she was working on a cadaver. Gum's bleeding and she never stopped to let me spit out the blood. Took ex-rays, waited about 15 minutes in the room, someone came in not sure if it was the dentist because he never said a word, looked at the x-rays and left still not saying a word. Finally someone came in and told me to go to the front desk to make my next appointment . At front desk, they were only concerned if my insurance would cover the cap I needed. Would not make the next appointment till they got confirmation. Finally was able to make the appointment but needed to cancel twice due to work and not feeling well. Received a letter telling me to find another dentist. Still not sure why.

Front staff has no customer service skills. The blond lady on the left was annoyed and uncaring! I will never go to that office ever again.

We were told that this office does not do deep cleaning
But they send it in for a predetermination. Why????
If you are sending pts to a periodontist?
Michael gitlin is not friendly at all
Receptionist does not know anything about copays or deductibles. They do ask for your credit card. The blonde young girl at the desk thinks shes the president she does not know anything

He does root canals excessively in my opinion instead of a filling to make more money.

I first went there and was greeted by dental hygienist who told me I needed my gums cut for a deep cleaning, root canal etc.Beware as they try to do unnecessary procedures. Reminds me of the dental scams done in Brooklyn. The other reviews are right in my opinion

This dentist s so incompetent I'm surprised he still has a practice. Not only did he turn me over to an associate who drilled my lower molar to accommodate an upper crown & broken adjoining tooth but told my son he needed a root canal which I refused & another dentist agreed was not needed just a sealant. Run do not walk out of this office in Bethpage. PS office staff not the friendliest or knowledgeable about insurances & procedures . Worst place ever!!

This doctor is totally rude and unprofessional!! At the sight of hearing my insurance would most likely not pay because x-rays were done recently; rather than asking if I could pay out of pocket he turned around and marched out of the room saying well there is nothing that to be done! leaving his staff to apologize.
