Dr. Gultz is extremely unprofessional and rude. He has ZERO bedside manner. The way he treats his patients is unacceptable. With the over abundance of dentists in NJ there is no need to take your dental care to a practice that has a lead physician with such crude behavior. Save yourself the trouble of being talked down to and go to another practice. I don’t know how he keeps his staff either as I’ve also noticed unacceptable attitudes towards them!

I have been using their services for a few years with no complains until my last visit. I had an appointment which I couldn't make it on time due to work which then I called the front desk to let me them know I was going to be late and IF it was OK to arrive later or rescheduled, which they said it was OK to arrive late. I arrived there about 20 mins later which then I was waiting for about 2 hours until Dr. Gultz came to me to let me know that they could no longer see me because "he decided to put someone else on front of me(I overheard this while I was waiting) due that individuals procedure

I was just at Dr. Gultz’s office yesterday with a broken front tooth. Missing my front tooth looked terrible, however the staff and doctors made impressions, made me a temporary crown and ordered a permanent one for me. Wonderful zero pain service

My partner has been going to this dentist for years and every time we come here we wait hours after appointment time to be seen. I understand that things happen and other clients come in late and that messes thing up but geez. Such a huge waste of time !

I've been a patient of Dr. Gultz's for five years. My jaws needed a major overhaul and in his the practice, I was thoroughly diagnosed and a treatment plan was subsequently set that has been scrupulously followed for my utmost benefit.

Dr. Gultz himself is a great doctor. He's a no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point professional who runs a tight ship of excellent dentists (I'll spare you the specialties but they are all represented). The presence of a dental lab on site is also a great plus.

The support staff are also a team of dedicated professionals who combine skills and

Highly recommended!! I have never been to a dentist who went out of his way to help me the way Dr. Gultz and his staff did for me. They have both an exceptionally talented and professional crew, as well as extremely affordable pricing. I was handled with a professionalism and efficiency that is unfortunately sometimes sorely lacking at other dentists. I got checked and cleaned, a filling, and a crown quickly, easily, and painlessly. They made sure to be extremely kind, patient, and courteous. It's not often that you go to a dentist who you feel actually cares and takes personal interest in

First visit and I felt like I've known the staff and Dr. Gultx forever!! I am looking forward to the completion of my extensive dental work. Ironically as I have always been afraid of the dentist. He took my mind off of where I was and I was able to just "be"d I've never felt so comfortable before in a dental office and I've been going regularly since I was a young child. The Dr as well as staff is very knowledgeable and I'm looking forward to seeing the beauty him and his team creates. Someone mentioned that it feels like the dental version of "Cheers"

Another great cleaning and some jolly holiday spirit! Never disappointed when I have any work done! Staff is extremely pleasant Odete, Celeste, and Dina have been there forever. The only reason I drive to Newark! Dr. Gultz isn't only an excellent dentist, but he is kind and always up for a good laugh.

There are too many things wrong with this office for me to go into detail about the magnitude of how bad it is. My only advice to you is do NOT go here if you need to get any major work done.

The doctor is completely inappropriate and rude in regards to bedside manner. Unprofessional is an understatement.

While the woman at the front desk are nice, they aren't the ones working on your mouth so it really doesn't even matter.

They make huge mistakes and get irritated when you ask them to fix them.

I do not recommend this place whatsoever. I wish I had done more research before coming

This was my dentist for a while but I can't bring myself to go anymore. Why? They have *Fox News* on in the waiting room. And they frequently run late, meaning having to listen to not only Fox News, but also Dr. Gultz commenting on Fox News for an hour. So once I got past the waiting room, I was actually *less* anxious because even extensive dental work was preferable to waiting any longer in that space. Now that Trump is president I can't bring myself to go to the dentist because of his waiting room.

This is a large practice and as a result, I've seen a different dentist every

Not sure about the name of the doctor but it was not Dr Douglas, seems someone new joined to the clinic. He did the worst job, i had little pain around my already root canal tooth, he did some cleaning and filling, during the process he hurted corner of my lips. The pain after the treatment stayed for a month. For some reason more pain developed next to the treatment tooth, not sure about the reason but visiting other dentist to get it fixed. I will not recommend this clinic to anyone.

First of all I went there for an emergency and they didn't have a surgeon at their place, but took my emergency anyways, the problem wasn't that but I noticed they started taking lots of x-rays around my mouth, and I was there only for an emergency in ONE teeth. I also realized that they clearly take advantage of people who do not speak English (they don't offer translated forms for example). The "dentist" that took care of my emergency was very rude and didn't talk to me too much about my case and didn't mention prices or how should I proceed for not having the

AMAZING Dentist! A wealth of knowledge, funny, and caring. If you walk into his office you are going to love it, not like it, but love it. The front desk team, his assistants, and the other doctors are extremely friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable as well. The place is clean with very latest dental digital technology.
I came in for a general check up, Dr. Gultz ended up fixing my gap and while doing so had me and his assistant laughing. My teeth now look amazing and natural.
Had a great experience, will definitely become a long term patient. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

I no longer am a regular patient here, but this office continues to amaze me.

I recently had a semi-emergency on a Friday night with my almost-2 year old who had fallen and hit his two front teeth on pavement who was clearly in pain for most of that evening. This being our first child and never having experienced something like this, I called some local dentists with hopes of connecting with someone who can help me. All of our the local dentist offices didn't have clear voicemail instructions on how to reach someone off-hours so I decided to give Dr. Gultz a try, knowing he and his team

I moved into the Ironbound and had the pleasure of meeting Dr Gultz. I had heard of his professionalism and his commitment to patient care from my neighbors and friends in the local area. He asked me to come in for an Oral exam and I did. Needless to say I did not do well since I have not been to a dentist in a while. I was very pleased with his staff, who, have excellent bedside manner and they took great care to explain what I needed. Dr Gultz is very approachable and shows genuine care for his patients, his hours are extremely flexible and he always has breakfast and lunch prepared for us. If

The Best......have been going to this Dentist Office for a few years now. Recommended highly not just by my Husband who has been going there over a decade... but by others too. They have treated my family not just in a professional health care way.... but treats you like family not just a number like most Medical Offices. I have NEVER waited long neither has any one of my family members. They unlike others truly follow your care. To make sure there is no discomfort. And if there is ... you are quickly asked to come in and treated ASAP. I'm a high risk patient due to health issues and this

This is THE dental clinic I will highly recommend people around me to visit. Dr. Gultz and his team are outstanding both professionally and morally. I started to visit Dr. Gultz in January this year, and I hope I visited here two years ago. The whole team is very friendly and good at what they are doing. They explain, they suggest for patients' benefit, and when they sense patients have questions, they care. Everyone here, dentists, dental assistants and administrative staff are ready to help. You can feel the pleasant culture at the moment you walk into it.

Dr. Gultz has a fantastic team: helpful, kind staff at the front desk; friendly, professional dentists; and even Dr. Gultz himself, who is a totally awesome, down-to-Earth guy who loves chatting up a storm. Everyone here is an absolute pleasure to interact with. My family has been going to his office for 20+ years and we have nothing but high praise for his team.

I moved out to California in 2010, but conveniently find myself back in New Jersey every 6 months for college reunions and holidays with the family. Instead of searching for a dentist that would not live up to Dr. Gultz, I just make sure
