Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He is a good dentist, but not a good orthodontist
Doctor Gindi has always been such an amazing dentist, but as an orthodontist his failed miserably. His hours are terrible, and sometimes when my daughters braces break he isn’t even open. My daughter’s braces break quite frequently and it has been miserable for the both of us. At one point he was sarcastic and rude to his staff, and to make matters worse his hands are always shaking and he causes my daughter much pain while fixing her braces. It has been so hectic and she and I hate this terrible experience.

We found Dr. Gindi after a bad prior experience. He is wonderful with my 5/6 year old. Both he and the staff are super friendly and helpful and are made to be around kids. If something isn't working for whatever reason (i.e., your kid won't comply) accommodations are made. They fit you in when needed and you can easily schedule future appointments. We have been very lucky and have never waited longer than 10 minutes; normally we walk in, sit, and get called right in. Highly recommend.

Dr. Gindi is EXCELLENT with young children. He made my nervous daughter feel so comfortable and used "kid" friendly dentist talk and provided her with "cool" sunglasses while filling her cavities. Dr. Gindi's office staff is just as wonderful. I highly recommend their services!

My children have been going to Dr, Gindi for their routine dental care since 2004. He is fantastic with the kids & has the absolute best staff! The office is always clean and inviting. The kids love that they get to pick a prize after their exam & look forward to having their pic taken for the "cavity free club". He was even able to fix my daughter & my son's teeth to near perfection with orthodontics! I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Gindi & his practice!!! 5 stars! The BEST!!!

I would highly recommend Dr. Gindi to family and friends. He has been my children's dentist for many years. My one son has special needs, and Dr. Gindi and his staff are always so patient and gentle with him. Whenever I am concerned about something concerning my sons, Dr. Gindi will always see them to check things out to put my mind at ease. He never to busy. He always fits my boys in.

Over the years, Dr. Gindi and his staff have provided high quality service and a caring environment to my family. His expertise in preventing extensive orthodontia work and saving my kids braces and me a fair amount of money to pay for them...so valuable in the well-being of our overall well-being. Marti is professional with a wonderful personal touch and always compliments my kids. Kelly is a whiz with apppointments, even if at the last minute. They help and explain insurance issues.

My son has been going to Dr. Gindi for about 3 years now. Dr. Gindi, his dental hygienist and his office staff are all professional and friendly - they make us feel welcome and relaxed. He explains what he will be doing beforehand and puts my son at ease in the chair - constantly providing positive feedback. We were told that my son is missing some permanent teeth - and Dr. Gindi communicated this in a professional yet kind, non-alarmist manner, which was very much appreciated. Recommend!

My son is currently wearing braces and doing very well with them. I highly recommend Dr. Gindi to anyone looking for a denist.
