I am completely done with this office. Last week i showed up to my appointment that they confirmed and they told me when i showed up that the dentist was out for the day. I had another appointment for today and the receptionist told me sometimes they randomly cancel appointments without telling anyone. Completely unprofessional outfit i’ve been trying to get my cavities drilled here for the past year. they are horrible. i’m so done.

My physicians made my visit my best dental appointment ever. I felt as if I was handled with extreme care and patience which helped extremely with my anxiety, my work is always great and I’ve yet to have any problems with anything done . I was handled with the extreme care and courtesy and I will continue to use this office as well as advise others to do so as well . Thankyou

I came in with tooth pain and was helped by a great receptionist and the hygienist was fantastic, but then Dr. Singh came in. He sat down for about 1 minute and told me I would need a root canal. Considering I’ve never needed one before, I was surprised and before I even could ask questions he got up to leave. I asked him why I needed a root canal versus a cavity (I’m a scientist and am interested in the specifics) and instead of answering my question he proceeds to grab a metal tool and jab my tooth 3 times and asks “does this hurt?” This was completely unprofessional and not what I asked

The whole place was top-notch! Very professional and accommodating. Karen, the dental hygienist that cleaned my teeth was very thorough, caring and professional. She followed through and made sure all of my questions were answered. The X-ray technician and the dentist were also very thorough and did a great job. I’m so pleased to have found them!

It was quick and easy and affordable they got me in the day after I requested an appointment and extracted my tooth with little to no pain and all the staff were wonderful and nice and didn’t make me feel bad for the way my tooth was before the extraction! It was a new dentist I haven’t seen her before but she was the nicest and most wonderful dentist I’ve ever experienced

So Tompkins Dental took out my remaining teeth and I got dentures through them in November. I love them. They took impressions of my remaining natural teeth so my smile would look the same . They walked me through the process and showed me the different quality they had. I chose the pricier ones. I had them put right in after extractions. Dr Singh did my extractions quickly but gently and with plenty of Novocain so i felt nothing. When ever I need adjustments I call and they get me in as soon as possible. I appreciate everything they do for me and I love my smile

TOMPKINS DENTAL SAID THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO ANYMORE
I have been having severe tooth pain for three months and found that Tompkins dental accepts my insurance. I found out that this was a huge mistake. I have not been able to drink or bite anything with one side of my teeth because of the severe pain. The pain that throbs. Even after my 3rd visit, my pain is still the same. The WORST THING IS that the dentist said there is nothing their office can do anymore. What kind of dentist says that? I wanted to get treated for my pain not for cleaning, pulling out wisdom tooth that is not severe. I

This is the worst experience I ever had with Dental Cares. I would rate 0 if I can. The first visit was for cleaning and the assistants at the office were cold and rude. I did not pay much attention and I think they might be in a bad mood that day. THAT is my BIGGEST MISTAKE. After cleaning, I was scheduled for fillings. But they canceled my appointment twice and I was told to reschedule. During this period, I started a toothache. I went to the front desk in person and rescheduled my canceled-twice filling appointment. I explained everything to them about the filling appointment, about the toothache

This place is a factory run office and I could tell that with the amount of people that were in and out that this was no place I would get anything done!
I saw there was only one dentist running around try to get as many people done as he could. I saw 2 people come out after extractions and they looked like they were in terrible pain. Blood soaked gauze filled their mouths. Bad sign.
When I finally got to see the dentist I said I just wanted a referral for an oral surgeon. There was no way I was going to a shoddy, second rate dental factory that caused unnecessary pain.

I just moved to New York in October 2016, and after years of neglect finally decided to see a dentist. I chose Tompkins Dental since they are in the same vicinity as where I do most of my errands, and boy am I glad I did! From my very first visit, and throughout my assessment process and final results (extraction and dental plates) the staff and Dr Singh have been nothing short of amazing. The ladies at the front desk (Angela, Emily and Kristen) have always been pleasant and helpful scheduling my appointments and reminding me the day prior to my visits.

I switched to this dentist because they take Fidelis, which I changed to recently. I've found them to be very professional and proficient, and recommend them to friends and family. Dr. Singh is only in a couple of days of the week due to his working in another office in Cortland part of the time, but they've still managed to schedule me in in a timely way, so I don't have to wait for appointments. They call to confirm appointments the day before; if you miss the call they ask you to call them to let them know you're planning on coming in. All of my appointments but one have

Almost all of my teeth got fillings when I was a teenager. I've gone for regular cleanings my entire life and I'm used to dental work. I'm also used to be shamed by dental staff about my teeth, even if they're otherwise friendly and polite. This experience was different.
Karen, my dental hygienist, cleaned a few of my teeth and then exclaimed that I had "beautiful teeth" - something I have never been told. She was very happy with my level of oral hygiene in terms of tartar control, so the cleaning was quick but thorough and included polishing and flossing. I let her

Terrible experience. The nurse was very nice, helping clean my teeth carefully. But the dentist was the most arrogant doctor I have ever met. She did not want to spend one extra minute with me, just talking to the nurse and staff. I have to ask the nurse and the staff for her opinion. She was too busy hopping among different patients. I was not given even a second to ask one question. What you can only do there is lying down and let the dentist do whatever she wants to do with your teeth and pay the bill! I am so glad that I walked out of that place and am searching for a new dentist now.

I had an appointment this morning. The waiting room is out of date and the carpet and chairs look dirty. Behind the receptionist desk is a lot of clutter. I saw shoes on the ground, random stuff shoved onto shelves. It didn't look organized. The cubicle set up isn't a big bother for me, but the quality of the rooms left a lot to be desired. Starting with the restroom. This hadn't been properly cleaned in a while. The toilet cleaner wand was completely yellow and had toilet paper stuck to it. The dentist chair and equipment was covered in dust and the ceiling tiles had water stains

Performed Surgery For No Apparent Reason. I switched to Tompkins Dental because they accepted my dental insurance. I had had no cavities since I was 12, do not drink soda or eat sugar outside of fruits. Dr. Singh looked in my mouth for 20 s and said I had 2 cavities, which would have been my first! I stupidly returned to have them taken out. BUT the surgical dentist could not find them! He nonethless proceeded to numb and operate for 20 mins, and then charge me $300.
After going to Ormsby (does not accept my insurance) and being told that my teeth were healthy, I decided not to return to Tompkins

First off, first impressions are everything. The "waiting room" is dirty. Paper on floor, tables are dusty and arm rests missing from chairs. The cheapest and EASIEST thing for a business to do is to have things clean. The work area behind the receptionists counter is littered with junk including opened food items and bowls. Disgusting and very unprofessional. Made me wonder what was hiding in back if the front is not even clean. When I did get in back for my cleaning, the chair and area were ancient. The walls scuffed. I did not feel like it was clean at all. No, I won't be back

Not a very good dentist. I only went there because it accepted 100% of my insurance. They didn't want to do all the work I needed and I had to go back and have a filling they put in repaired as they didn't do it properly. They said the small cavities I have don't matter! I think I will rebook for a second opinion once I have my wisdom teeth removed by the oral surgeon in Ithaca in a few weeks time.
The receptionists and the hygenist are very professional but the dentist was not and really didn't care about any questions I had about my dental care. They finish the job and immediately

They run the operation like they are doing piecework in a factory. I was having a cavity filled and the dentist wouldn't stop drilling although I was raising out of the chair in pain repeatedly telling the dentist to stop because of pain, and I am no Nancy Boy. I had a full sweat going complete with soaked shirt. He kept saying "Almost done". I demanded to see a supervisor who promptly checked and determined that the anesthesia was not working at all and gave me another shot. After the anesthetic kicked in, I calmly received my

Friendly staff, and generally nice people. Takes insurance.
But they overbook. Work on a belt conveyor operation. Every time you go, you see a different dentist. Hygienist remains the same - she's nice.
But the dentists - they drill too much. The more they drill, the more money for them. Of course, that's the nature of the business.

UPDATE:
I just returned from the latest trip to my new dentist; it took two visits - and more than $600 - to repair the damage done by Tompkins Dental. New doc said I have a case for professional misconduct, but that would have required further delay to obtain photos and other proof of the damage, and I just wanted everything fixed ASAP.
The broken tooth (ie: the one that likely did NOT need work and was further weakened by TD) is very damaged, and ideally would have been repaired with a crown, but that would have cost me $1,300, so I went with a filling instead. It may still need a crown within

If you are used to fancy dentist you might want to stay away. It is certainly no frills, but I have gone there for a few years now (cleanings only).
They seem to have lots of client there for "extractions", and less worried about keeping their teeth then I am.
They are the only place around that takes my insurance or I am not sure I would go to them... However paying $0 vs $150 twice a year is worth it. I do not think I am sacrificing much for saving $300.
Personal has always been nice.
