Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Not to be trusted
I would be very wary of Dr. Gurinsky. I went to his office for a "free" consultation. After the consultation had been performed, I was told by Dr Gurinsky that the needed procedures could be done immediately but I would have to settle the entire bill before leaving. I waited in the dental chair for 45 minutes while they spoke with MetLife regarding charges. I was then given a net cost of $250 which I paid. A month later I received a bill from his office for an additional $243. I called them thinking there had been an error but was told that there must have been some other other claims that had not cleared on my insurance that affected the net cost for the procedures. I checked with MetLife and they confirmed with me that nothing with my insurance had affected the charges. MetLife suggested that Dr. Gurinsky must have sent in a larger claim than what was described to them originally. Dr. Gurinsky soon stopped replying to my emails and simply sent the matter to a collection agency.

I don't recommend due to his irresponsibility and the childish manner in which he responds to his mistakes. I had to seek an opinion for an oral surgeon who confirmed the pain I'm experiencing is due to a poorly located implant that Gurinsky performed. When I approached him about it, he did not respond kindly or care to take care of the problem or even follow up. It is obvious he thinks I will just go away. He is sadly mistaken. Again, I do not recommend Gurinsky.

I had some periodontal work done to remove some excessive gum tissue and it was a great experience! I was nervous about the pain I might feel during or after the procedure, but Dr. Gurinsky was great about making sure I was comfortable the whole time, and the treatment was painless!. I'm healing well after the procedure, and definitely would recommend him if you need this type of dental work done!

I haven't had any actual work done yet as this was my initial consult. However, it was a very enjoyable visit. The Doctor and staff are great. My wife and I had an enjoyable visit.
