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.

#1 Doctir
I first met Doctor Gardner on an emergency basis. I had no upper dentures. The girl Cathy at the desk. she got me in as soon as you possibly. The office was extremely professional. Clean. Well taken care of and Doctor Gardner, I think he's the number one doctor in the State of New Jersey.

36 years and counting
Dr. Mitch Gardiner has been our family dentist for 36 years, and we honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better. He’s kind, compassionate, and always takes the time to explain everything in a way that makes sense. He greets you with a smile, makes you feel at ease, and truly cares about his patients. He even takes the time to personally connect, which is rare these days. If you're looking for a great dentist who actually listens and makes every visit a good experience, Dr. Gardiner is the one. Highly recommend!

When my elderly father badly needed dental care from years of neglect & a broken bridge (that was then fashioned into partial dentures that were held together precariously w/ gobs of Fixodent), Dr. Gardiner came highly recommended. We were told he was someone who, not only had the skill and artistry to fix his teeth, but also had the trust of all his patients to do it correctly, thoroughly, & efficiently. Not only were we not disappointed in everything that was said about him, we were blown away by the level of professionalism & courteousness of every member of his team. Within a few short weeks, all of my father’s dental woes were eradicated, w/ 16 fillings put in, eroded gums & exposed teeth roots built up & protected, & a permanent & strong new bridge. Dr. Gardiner has a new customer for life w/ my father, & we can’t emphasize enough how much we appreciate all the work he put into giving my dad his confidence back with a beautiful and healthy smile! We can't recommend him enough!!

Dr. Mitchell Gardiner has been my dentist for over 30 years. He also took care of my children's teeth as they were growing up. Dr. Gardiner has been able to treat all of the challenges my mouth has presented him over the years. I always feel confident that I am getting the best care possible. He is very reassuring and has a wonderful chairside manner! I highly recommend Dr. Gardiner to anyone looking for a dentist who can do a wide arrange of dental procedures.

Dr. Gardiner is such a good, kind man and that makes him an amazing dentist. He knows his patients and treats them like family. He carefully talks through his procedures, preparing his patients for each step and listening to them along the way. He is open to different ways of treating a problem and is honest when discussing those options with his patients. He is current in his field, learning and teaching to keep himself abreast of ideas and new techniques. He is the best dentist ever.
