Dr Cynthia Gomez DDS

I live in NJ and travel all the way to the east side to see Dr. Gomez and her staff. I came in with a dental emergency (tooth cracked in half) while having an issue with my insurance. Everyone there was extremely helpful and went above and beyond anything I expected. I’ve continued to see them for my cleaning and future dental work is already booked.
While I’m sure there are plenty of dentists closer to me I won’t even bother to look. The office staff are sweet and make any wait time fly by.
On a side note: I hadn’t been to a dentist in over 10 years and I was anxious/​embarrassed. No one judged me and I feel like they really care about my well being.

Despite all her credentials & accolades, sadly, this dentist does not know the meaning of empathy. She expects you not to winced if she gives you parenteral anesthesia. She thinks you are overreacting to her heavy hand. She wants you to open your dry mouth (as they suction your oral secretions /​saliva) so wide & expect not to feel uncomfortable as she doesn’t lubricate or apply lip balm on your lips when she does lengthy procedure like an implant. She gets annoyed when I have to stop in between as i need to moisten & rinse my mouth with water. Be prepared to be splattered in your face for the bloody dental implant procedure & catch the abutment with your tongue if it slips from her hand otherwise you’ll end up swallowing it. I went home with the corners of my mouth cracked. She blames my mouth being small for her heavy hand. lLastly, deep cleaning is just done by her technician, why would you pay over a $ 100 co payment for this procedure? You ‘ll be shocked how their billing system works — you have a pre approval from your dental insurance but you’ll receive a billing statement from them stating you still have to pay the whole amount unless you fight tooth & nail with her clerk and explain that its not what we had agreed upon before you had your procedure done.

Had gone for cleaning/​scaling back in ²⁰¹¹⁄₂₀₁₂. Went to the office 2 or 3 times. Experienced long wait time and rude staff but wasn’t worth writing a review — just went somewhere else.
Fast forward to mid-​2014. Out of the blue, I get an invoice for a past due balance. No explanation or details, just an amount. Weird. I haven’t been here in years. And I remember paying any balance owed at the office at the time of the visit. Called the office several times to try to resolve and get additional details. They could not provide additional details giving excuses of changes in staff and billing procedures. Tried to figure it out on my end with insurance but the amount didn’t correspond to treatment received on any particular day. Got another invoice in the mail recently — again, no details, just a balance.
Get your billing together. Don’t harrass me for money that you claim is owed years later without being able to provide details. The amount is probably not worth all the time I’ve spent trying to figure it out, but it’s the principle.
Definitely will not return here. Even if she was the best, it wouldn’t be worth dealing with this nonsense YEARS after… probably best to go somewhere else…

Dr. Gomez performed laser surgery on me a week ago. I walked in nervous about the procedure and Dr. Gomez took the time to explain the process, helping me to remain at ease. Dr. Gomez is excellent. Called me at home a few hours after surgery to find out how I felt and gave me a number to contact her directly. I felt no pain during or after the procedure, only a little discomfort a few hours later, and nothing more. One week later and my gums are so improved, I feel great. I would definitely recommend Dr. Gomez to family and friends.

I have been a patient of Dr. Gomez and her technicians for 10+ years and have always found them to be consummate professionals – caring as well as expert in their work.
Dr. Gomez has performed laser gum surgery on me that was painless and successful. Her treatment, examination and reviews of my gum problems and regular, thorough periodontal cleanings by her technician have greatly contributed to my ability to keep my teeth in the best possible condition.
Dr. Gomez has always been very reasonable in pricing treatments and I have recommended and will continue to recommend her to friends and family who need the services she provides.
