Douglas B Gultz, DMD

These people really care about their patients and it shows. Best dentisit office I’ve ever been to. Dr. Gultz goes far beyond what it takes to care for his patients and Dr. Diana is a real sweetheart.

This doctor an is amazing man who does great work for the community as well as military personnel. I met him recently and he provided dental work to any vet who came to his office at a great price, regardless of the patient having insurance our not. Just a good hearted man.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Gultz and his team from the receptionists to all of the other dentists/​surgeons/​staff I saw. They truly went above and beyond in caring for me. Even before I got to the office for my surgery, they provided good information and answered all of my questions (and I had a lot of questions!). The ambience of his office is very relaxing and everyone was very friendly. I wish I could remember everyones names. They were respectful, kind, and caring. The technology with the X-​rays was fascinating, everything was shown and explained to me. They made sure I understood everything that would happen. After my procedure, Dr. Gultz followed up with me on the phone to make sure I was okay and to answer any questions I had. I can tell that he cares a lot about his patients. I actually came all the way from Texas because Dr. Gultz and his team are simply the best. I would recommend everyone to go to this office, they will take great care of you. My experience was great and I will forever be thankful, thank you Dr. Gultz and staff !!

The Best… have been going to this Dentist Office for a few years now. Recommended highly not just by my Husband who has been going there over a decade… but by others too. They have treated my family not just in a professional health care way… but treats you like family not just a number like most Medical Offices. I have NEVER waited long neither has any one of my family members. They unlike others truly follow your care. To make sure there is no discomfort. And if there is … you are quickly asked to come in and treated ASAP. I’m a high risk patient due to health issues and this office ALWAYS keeps that in mind. Always checking chart and actually getting to know the patient to make sure there’s ZERO error in treatment. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND this Dentist Office. You can’t go wrong with them! If I trust my children in their hands then they MUST BE GOOD!

This is THE dental clinic I will highly recommend people around me to visit. Dr. Gultz and his team are outstanding both professionally and morally. I started to visit Dr. Gultz in January this year, and I hope I visited here two years ago. The whole team is very friendly and good at what they are doing. They explain, they suggest for patients’ benefit, and when they sense patients have questions, they care. Everyone here, dentists, dental assistants and administrative staff are ready to help. You can feel the pleasant culture at the moment you walk into it.
This clinic has specialists to visit periodically. For complicated dental situation, Dr Gultz will provide preliminary advice, and then schedule an appointment with a specialist for the patient.
The receptionists are very friendly and helpful. They prepare cards for you marking the date of the next appointment and will call to remind you one day ahead of the scheduled date. If you have any questions about the charges, they will show you the paperwork and explain patiently.
One more important thing I want to mention is that Dr. Gultz is a very respectful person. He cares the results his clinic brings to the patients more than anything else. My teeth were not taken good care of before. The cost of the initial work hit my insurance annual maximum in the middle of a treatment. He didn’t hesitate to let his team finish the whole work without confirming whether I am able to pay for it. In the end he said «You don’t have to pay. I just can’t let you walk out of here with your tooth open like that!» In another day, when I was waiting in the reception area, I saw he said similar thing to another patient.
So, if you are new in this area and looking for a professional and trustable dentist, try Dr. Gultz’s dental clinic. And you won’t regret!

Dr. Gultz has a fantastic team: helpful, kind staff at the front desk; friendly, professional dentists; and even Dr. Gultz himself, who is a totally awesome, down-​to-​Earth guy who loves chatting up a storm. Everyone here is an absolute pleasure to interact with. My family has been going to his office for 20+ years and we have nothing but high praise for his team.
I moved out to California in 2010, but conveniently find myself back in New Jersey every 6 months for college reunions and holidays with the family. Instead of searching for a dentist that would not live up to Dr. Gultz, I just make sure to schedule a visit when I’m back east.
I’ll have to ask during my next visit, but I think I have the longest commute to his office — 6 hours on a plane!

Many years ago when in Clinton, NJ, a contractor told me he went to a dentist near my office in Newark. He asked if I knew Doug Gultz, the dentist. I didn’t but needed one. He told me he drove everyone in his family from Pennsylvania to have him take care of them. That seemed pretty outstanding, so next time I needed a cleaning, Gultz was the place for me.
His offices are very nice, taking up an entire Ironbound row house with a small parking lot (weather permitting, I ride my bike and there is a fence to lock your bike to). The atmosphere is pleasant with friendly receptionists. Not only do they help with scheduling visits, they call to remind me the day before. On top of that, you can count on them to recommend Portuguese restaurants in the area.
On top of all this — DOUG GULTZ IS A FANTASTIC DENTIST!!! He also has specialists come in like dental surgeons and periodontist. You cannot go wrong with this place.

Dr Gultz and his staff are bar none the best dentist practice in the area. Best administrative staff, always happy, always efficient, always clean and always care. I wouldn’t recommend any other practice.

This place is so good that I travel from Queens/​Manhattan to Newark to get my dental work done here. Here’s why:
When I used to live in northern NJ, I was searching for a dentist on an emergency basis due to what inevitably required a root canal performed on me. A friend used to work here, referred them, and so I went. Little did I know that I would be thrust upon some of the most wonderful administrative and clinical staff I’d ever meet.
As I had my initial work done, they began to perform other standard check-​up related items. Since I hadn’t gone to the dentist in several years (yeah, gross… I know), it turned out I had a bunch of other problems (another potential root canal, a crown replacement, some cavities) and because I thought they did good work I decided to keep going back. After about a half-​dozen more visits over the next 4 – 6 months, I’m sure they got to know me a little bit.
Yet the practice is located in the heart of the Ironbound section of Newark and they seem to know every single family there. Their front desk staff are incredibly attentive, seem to know everyone by name, the dental assistants are friendly, and the doctors I’ve seen (Lightman and Gultz) have always been very warm and friendly. Bottom line: they care. They care about your welfare and your comfort. And thanks to them, I’m now back on a regular every-​6-​month check-​up.
Fast forward 2 years (and yes I was going back for my regular check ups during this time) and a move to Queens later, I had to schedule another check-​up. I used to be able to go during any time when I was in NJ but I had taken a liking to a particular dentist and with such a long way to go just to get there, scheduling became a pain and I could now only go on a particular evening when that dentist was there. We finally worked out an appointment, I go, get checked up, no problems are found, and go on my merry way. But here’s where it gets interesting and what really throws them over the top for me…
I scheduled my next appointment 6 months later (again, living in Queens), call the office and say «hey this is Brian [last name], and I wanted to schedule a check-​up». To my absolute surprise the scheduling assistant immediately remembered me, remembered that I preferred to see a specific physician, and remembered I could only make it on a specific night because I was coming from outside of NJ. I mean… wow! Considering it feels like they know the entire city of Newark, I have to say I was incredibly impressed with that level of customer service! Then, when I go back, my conversations with my dentist –while expectedly not very deep– are nice because he remembers little things we’ve discussed in the past. All of my experiences with this office make me feel like a person first and not «just another patient». You just can’t put a price tag on that level of customer service and that’s why to this day I still perform the «reverse-​commute» and go 45−60min out of my way just for a trip to the dentist.
