Ronen Gold, DDS

If your wondering why Dr. Gold has 5 stars on other sites, it’s because one is his own website and the other is his Facebook page which he obviously filters. Open sites that are free for anyone to voice their opinion, he doesn’t rate more than 3 stars.
As another review mentioned, Dr. Gold is fine until you want to follow up with him. After finding out that the procedure his office told me would be fully covered was not at all covered, I simply wanted to ask him if he would not charge a paying patient the same amount he was charging my insurance… I was told that he does not speak with patients about billing, that’s their fee and I am responsible for the entire amount of $ 3,700 (to pull wisdom teeth!). I sent him an email to confirm that he really was refusing to address my concern and he replied to stop trying to contact him and the bill is my responsibility. All he cares about is money and has no concern about his patients afterwards.

My mother is very nervous about teeth and pain and she experienced no pain at all with her tooth implant with this office! I’m leaving this review because she is also more reluctant to complain a little. She experienced one of the assistants, I’m assuming, whose name I will withhold from the review as it should not reflect on the office itself, being extremely rude to her. She was being picked up by my father after her procedure and asked politely if he could be called in advance so he would know when to come to the office. She refused and became rude and almost offended that my mother would think to ask. I find that insane because as a dental office I am sure that calls are needed to be made to caregivers all the time. Even if this woman did not want to make me call herself, she might have offered to ask the desk or something. Anything besides being rude to my mother who, honestly, is not easily offended and will put up with a lot of nonsense. After getting into the room she apologized to this woman for imposing on her by asking her to call my father. She had no response. Not even an apology back for being rude, or a response to why they may or may not want to call my father. Surely since my mother has had no prior dental work of this caliber she was unsure of whether she would be able to make the call or drive herself home. It isn’t like she asked for a glass of champagne while she waited. It was a simple request. When you come to an office in Westfield and are used to quality people, you expect to be treated with respect. This woman made my mother very nervous before a scary procedure. Fortunately she loved the dentist and will of course be returning in the future. I can only hope that she will inform the Doctor of this woman’s name so she will not have to deal with rude and unsympathetic people in the future. As my mother is also in the medical business in Westfield, she understands the kind of care that is standard here. Clearly this assistant does not, and no one should ever be treated rudely. If I were there, everyone would have been informed of my dissatisfaction but that is not my mother’s way. I can only imagine how this assistant would have handled a patient with a more absurd request. When you work with people, you need to be understanding no matter what. I don’t care if it’s medical or retail, service is always first. Sorry for the long winded rant, I just cannot stand for rudeness in a place where a large sum of cash is being exchanged whether for product or medical service in this case.

I had 2 wisdom teeth taken out, extraction and a tooth graft with Dr. Gold. And it has been a great experience since the beginning. From the consultation, the surgery, to the post op check up.
He was comforting during surgery and assured me I would be OK since I’m not very fond of dentist and I was having anxiety about everything that was about to happen. It was quick and not painful at all, just lots of tugging and pulling. Dr. Gold asked me how I was doing throughout the procedure and made sure I was comfortable.
I’m not sure about what those first 2 Unilocalers were talking about because he presents himself very well and he’s very nice and made sure I was doing great. He also called me and checked up on me as well. Not his assistant, Dr Gold called me!
I will come back here again for my implant in December!

I recently had all four wisdom teeth removed. It was easy to get everything set up. I showed up the morning of the surgery, went under, woke up, the nurse helped me to the car and that was that. I experienced some pain but the prescribed medication helped me handle it easily. After a week my mouth was feeling better and everything seemed to be pretty healed up for my follow up. The one thing that had been bothering me was a sharp bit of what I assume was bone or something that was sticking out of the inside of my gum and constantly scraping the underside of my tongue. Dr. Gold inspected my mouth and didn’t mention it until I brought it up at which point he told me it would round out over time. Today, (three days after the follow up) I was very fed up with this sharp bit interfering with my tongue when eating, brushing or even sitting around. I was planning on calling back to get a second opinion but after a bit of wiggling I managed to dislodge it from whatever it was attached to and remove it myself. While I could just let it go, I do feel like it should have been addressed rather than brushed aside when I asked about it.
To conclude, if you’re looking for a dentist to remove your wisdom teeth, he’ll get them out and set you up right but if you have a concern, you’re going to have to be quite vocal and stubborn about it.

No idea what those first 2 Unilocalers are talking about. Dr. Gold is an excellent surgeon. He tells you what he’s doing right before he’s about to do it while doing the procedure. And his assistant is very nice. The 2 receptionists at the front are also very helpful. And they have payment plan options. His level of work is in his last name, GOLD!

My name is Tom R, and I must say, after reading the TWO negative reviews on Unilocal,that I didn’t know WHAT to expect walking into Dr. Gold’s office… that being said, I went in there with an open mind set and even asked Dr. Gold, «what’s the deal with the nasty reviews on
; Before he could answer I said, «tell you what, Ill be the judge of the reviews… lets see how you do.» This is my review.
I couldn’t possibly be anymore satisfied with my experience at Dr. Gold’s then I am right now, and that’s coming from someone who underwent a wisdom tooth extraction and root canal in under 18 hours btw. Between my short notice and ability to schedule an appointment for almost immediately, his knowledgeable and extremely friendly staff, to the follow up call I received a few hours later asking how I felt, Dr. Gold made me feel at ease with the procedure and like a regular patient that he had seen for years. I would recommend Dr. Gold to anyone of my friends who needed a procedure done, especially on such short notice and at such a wallet-​friendly price.
To anyone who is reading this, based on these Unilocal reviews… which are oh so accurate (most extremely sarcastic tone possible)…you have a 33% chance of being satisfied… but I guarantee 100% you will be more then satisfied with your visit to Dr. Gold. Don’t make the mistake of not going to an extremely great doctor based off of the two negative reviews… it’s not worth the pain and aggravation. Like I said, I guarantee you will be satisfied 100% with your visit.
Thanks again Dr. Gold,
Sincerely Tom R

Stay away. Man is a monster. I arranged to have all 4 wisdom teeth extracted at once. 3 out of 4 removed — I don’t make a peep. Time for the 4^th one. Extreme pain. I’m yelling, trying to raise my arm to tell him to stop. His assistant holds my arms down while he continues without pause. He finishes and tells me I basically imagined the intense shooting pain. I was dumb enough to go to the follow-​up check. He still denies that I felt pain. I said I was going to file a complaint. His response: «Go ahead.»

Horrible service. Obnoxious with grandiose delusions jerk. Also was pretty disgusted to see boogers up his nose — no mask was worn.
