Maybe I just have the worst luck, but scheduling appointments here has been almost impossible in the last year. I was originally scheduled for a cleaning in November 2021, but they had to cancel last minute when the hygienist was out. They said they were going to put me back on the schedule, but that the earliest was April 2022. But not to worry because I would be on a waitlist way before then. I got one waitlist call in December on the first day of a new job and couldn’t make it. They never called me from the waitlist again, so late March I called back to find out when my actual appointment was. Turns out they never scheduled anything and I had to wait until May now.
May rolls around and I get a call the day before my appointment that Dr. Parker is going on vacation and they have to cancel my appointment. Since it had been so long since I was in at that point, I had to have a full exam and couldn’t just have a cleaning done. I did get a call a couple of weeks later this time to come in, 6 months after my cleaning appointment was supposed to be.
This week I called to see if I could get in for an urgent appointment and their customer service rep said they would put my request in to the computer right away and I would be contacted within 24-48 hours. 4 days later, I’ve heard nothing and went to another dentist’s office the same day for help.
The services I’ve received here have been good and the people are nice but, the practice just has more patients than they can handle I think. Especially when they have signs up that they’re open for dental emergencies, only to get no response.

Dr.Parker was amazing when doing my teeth removal and my denture is absolutely beautiful and Brinna above and beyond for her patients! I could ask for better people to care for me!!! I wish I could give gentle dentist a 100 star rating!!

This is the worst dentist of all time, I waited for them to contact me after the removal of my wisdom teeth because they stated they would get with me as soon as they could, to help me set up appointments every 3 months for a check up and a cleaning because according to the dentist at this location I have a condition known as peridontitus. I ended up having to make my own appointment and then 6 months later when my appointment came they told me I would have to have another 6 months for a cleaning and a checkup, they claim its because of an upfront office mixup. I do not recommend anyone to this place, the dentist is rude and claims I have a choice when my teeth are literally rotting out of my face and I need a cleaning 3 months ago at the least. I don't think any business has made me feel more ashamed, embarrassed, or dissatisfied

I went to Gentle Dentist to get my teeth cleaned. I expected a dentist or an assistant would do all or most of the work that same day. But oh no, they turned this into a process!
An X-ray technician x-rayed my teeth. She was a nice, older lady.
But then the dentist arrived. He was talking fast and rushing through things. He was actually facing away from me and washing his hands when he introduced himself! It sounded like he said, “Doctor Parker,” but I could not tell for sure. Seriously, does it take that much effort just to look at a patient when you introduce yourself?
I don’t like him either. I don’t dislike him. It’s just the way that Doctor Parker talks, he sounds totally generic. He doesn’t seem to have an actual personality of his own. He just wants to do whatever gets him the most money. He does not come across as caring or having any empathy for his patients.
I know this sounds harsh, but this was my impression of him.
He showed me the x-ray of my worst tooth. He said he could fill it or do a root canal, but he wanted to do a root canal. Apparently because this method gets him more money. A filling would work just fine.
Then he disappeared and I was talking with the receptionist. She said actually getting my teeth cleaned would cost over $1,000, even with my insurance! And it would be more than 3 months until they could see me again!
The insurance is supposed to pay for getting my teeth cleaned. There is no way I am going to pay over $1,000 just to get my teeth cleaned.
A clerk at the insurance company recommended Monrovia Family Dentistry, which is south and west of Indianapolis. They are closed now. I called and left a message. I can say that Monrovia Family Dentistry has several glowing reviews.
