Gentle Dental Employer Reviews

I love my job! Everyone I've worked with has been nothing short of amazing. I actually feel heard here, management listens to ideas and lets us execute without any unreasonable roadblocks. You can see actual team work and feel the support at this company. No politics, no fuss, just a bunch of people working together to help this company grow.

Gentle dental is a very busy office that requires lots of multitasking. Enjoy being busy during the day and helping all of the patients that come and go through out the day. I learned how to manage patient flow as well as managing my time at the front desk helping receptionists when available. The most enjoyable part of this job is being able to make – more... people smile again or to keep their smile beautiful. – less

I enjoyed working with the doctors and other employees. The manager was horrible. She lied to employees and belittled them.

Awful place to work at, employees are back stabbers. No patient care, assembly line for using patients insurance. Over books appointments . Unethical management, high turnover. Do yourself a favor and look into applying elsewhere. Too much he say she say! Plus, terrible dentistry.

Do not work for this place!!! They use people like water and the turn over rate is very high! employee's throw each other under the table and are backstabbers! they are all about money. If you are a office assistant or dental assistant find a small office with morals. If you are a extern just out of school needing some experience then it could work – more... to gain some knowledge. They expect you to be on-call on days off...and if you don't show up or can not come to work you get in trouble.
all in all
STAY AWAY!!!! – less

This office has 8 operatories going at once. They get a lot of work done, but their is a lot of equipment that did not work.For example, some rooms the patient would have to hold the x-ray head, which should stay on its own. The co-workers like the many assistants, hygienists, and the dentists I worked with were friendly, and took their job seriously, – more... which made work more enjoyable. – less

I worked for this company for 7 years. in that time I have seen too many different worker come and go. The hours were always changing and this company expects that you can just change your work schedule at the drop of a hat. The also do not ask the workers for their opinions about any of the changes.

patient care; dental insurance; inventory, dental procedures and scheduling

When I was doing my extern at this site for time I needed to fulfill my extern hours. There was very little communication to the staff from the office manager other then the morning huddle. The office was not as clean as it should have been to my standards. Myself and another extern has to push hard to do cleanings on Fridays when they had staff from – more... another location. It made my hands on training not the easiest job. I needed to learn how to do alot of things out in the Dental field and I am sorry to say I didn't get a chance to learn much at this site. – less

A typical day at work consisted of constant pressure from management to increase production while completely sacrificing patient care. The office schedule was frequently so slow that we were forced to take 3 hours lunches or work half days. Other days we would not get a lunch at all because they try to cram all of the patients into one day to get the – more... most work out of the employees. The company does not give raises to their employees and starts them at very low wages. What I learned from this job was what dentistry is NOT supposed to be. – less

Work hours 9am to 5pm. open office, assist patients. pull files. assist dentist. co-workers easy to work with. sterilize instruments. fill insurance form. staff eats lunch together. butler. pull files for next day. go home.

I went there for my externship to learn more about what i went to school for. I found it very helpful to help me progress into the work field of Dental Assistant.

Set up rooms, go over schedule before patients arrive. seat and prepare patients, assist endo dentist with treatment. New comperter skills and digital x-rays,
Hardest part is to see patients in a lot of pain,
Seeing patients who are grateful to be out of pain.

I enjoyed all aspects of management, learning everything I could.

its a very high volume of patients and you need to work quick overall fun to see diffrent types o f people get to know them more talk to them and their family and try to answer all their questions and needs in a friendly professional way

After working in the business side of this operation for over a year I have seen all the dirty stuff. The shady billing practices, the horrible way they try to not "refund" money owed to patients, while ruthlessly going after collections. The sometimes shoddy dentistry that gets covered up.

Worst of all is the way the company values its employees. – more... You are meat! To be worked till you drop then if you say a word about it you are dumped and replaced with new meat. The "managers" and Regional "Supervisors" (and I used the term loosly since they exhibit no real management skill or traits...rather just hatchet people)

These people say the right things "we want feedback etc" but dare you to tell them anything and you are finished! They have created a "Thow you under the Buss" culture of scared employees who will sell you out to protect their own terrible jobs.

Low Pay, Low benefits, LONG HOURS!, NO breaks, No support, Shoddy dentistry. Its all about gouging the patients for $$$$ as much as you can get every day. Beyond that nothing else matters for this company. BEWARE!!!!!!!!! – less

Externship was performed at Gentle Dental. Completed 240 hours of hands on training. It was a great experience. Worked with very skilled Dentists and assistants.

You have to clean the rooms fast even if that means not disinfecting everything correctly, so a patient can be seated an then that patient waits atleast another hour or more to be seen, double and triple booking is a daily occurance and patients always wait, wait, wait. Your not allowed to have conversations with the patients because time is money and – more... your wasting money because there just fine and you could be doing something else. I feel it is not my type of office to work for. The employees were nice but very busy all the time as well so couldn't get to know any of them. If you comfortable working for a robotic money orientated office then this is for you. – less
