We absolutely LOVE Dr. Gentzler. My son is only 2 and needed to have 2 small fillings and first of all I think it is excellent that they care about the childrens health and use only white fillings, way to go! He is the sweetest and most kind hearted dentist and person you will deal with, he cares and it shows. My son was never scared the whole time, he was actually excited to go to the dentist again. The only part he didn't care for was having to be lightly strapped in for his filling, but it lasted less than 5 minutes and he doesn't even remember it! He only remembers playing with toys and getting a surprise and getting his teeth cleaned, which he never cried during that because they talked to him on his own level with words he understood. He loved seeing Mickey on the walls and he enjoyed thoroughly the little playhouse with the toys in the waiting area. He thought it was cool watching TV while he laid down too, he ALWAYS wants to stay and play after his teeth are cleaned.So we do:-)

We had first went to an upscale pediatric dentist a few months before and hated everything about it, they didn't treat him like he was 2 and didn't make either one of us comfortable in all of their glory of TVs on the ceiling and 5,000 toys there that he did NOT even want to play with because there was too many and NO kids were even there! Now we know why.They were too expensive and didn't even care that they lied about the price on the phone.. We choose Dr. Gentzler instead, Life is much simpler the way we like it.
