Maureen Gonta Castellana, DDS

I will NEVER go to Dr. Gonta's Dentistry ever again. My son needed some baby teeth pulled. He had a bad experience with the awake sedation and nightmares afterward (I think they were about being restrained). When we went back to get caps and spacers put in my son resisted. I got up to hold him down and calm him (which works every time at the family dentist) but then the attendant got in his face and threatened to kick me out!!! Not only that but the caps they put on his teeth didn't stay on even though we diligently made sure he didn't eat sticky candy. My family dentist said she would replace one for $68 but suggested Dr. Gonta may do it for less or free because Dr. Gonta did the work. I took him back and asked if there would be a cost to have the cap glued back on and didn't get a straight answer. Afterward I was charged for $116!!! They fell out a second time but I will not go back again. I will mention that when we decided it was best to get my son's teeth pulled my family dentist DID NOT recommend Dr. Gonta. We chose to go there because it was closer for us. The waiting room is fun and cheerful with games and decorations and the kids leave with balloon animals and a bag of goodies but it is just a decoy to cover up frightening experiences and bad service.
