Best place to get wisdom teeth/3rd molar extracted in the world! I am from the USA and this dental office has done more honest, 5 star work than anything I have received back home. They have state of the art NEW, modern equipment and a very clean office with professional friendly staff. First off I was told in the US that I needed 3 wisdom extractions and 5 composite fillings for cavities which was going to cost thousands upon thousands of USD and multiple appointments etc. (I also don't have dental insurance) Upon my examination Dr. Arnibal told me the truth (something USA dentists don't do) all my "cavities" that I was told by USA docs needed very expensive composite fillings, weren't even cavities! Dr.Arnibal informed me they were just minor tooth stains that would go away with good hygiene and fluoride treatment for a couple months! He said that the stains were so minor that drilling into my tooth and filling it would cause way more structural damage! I deeply appreciate the honesty. In the USA both of my old dental offices were using dated, old, dirty equipment (they did not even have a panoramic X-ray machine) and they would lie to me every chance they got to make more $$$$ Gerochi Dental is not like this, they are some of the most honest dentists in this PLANET that just want to see your health get better ๐Ÿ™ I and also greatful for Dr. Arnibals amazing experience with tooth extractions, all 3 of my wisdom tooth came out with no pain and they were making sure I was comfortable the whole time (even gave me a blanket!) My 4th wisdom tooth almost fully came out with no problem but the root had a complication. A small fragment was left behind due to being deeply embedded into my mandibular nerve+blood vessel. Dr. Arnibal deeply explained why he left it. If he had taken it out I may have had facial paralysis and very VERY bad bleeding. He reassured me that upon healing it would eject itself out. ๐Ÿ‘ Very thankful to have a real professional doing this work. I explained to Dr. Arnibal that I would be flying out the next day so he went the extra mile and sutured the empty sockets up very good. It is 24 hours later with no pain! It's also incredibly amazing Dr. Arnibal was able to do this all in one quick 3 hour appointment! He truly is an expert at his craft. Gerochi Dental is also incredibly honest for leaving ALL their reviews up regardless of the rating. USA dentists get ALL their bad reviews removed off Google so they only have 5 star reviews. All my dentists back home has hundreds of 1 star reviews that get removed/hidden from the public. So to an unsuspecting customer it looks like they have only 5 star reviews. USA dentists like to cheat the system, lie and cause harm to their customers (it is customary there). They like to mess up your mouth to keep you coming back to waste your hard earned money. All in all Gerochi Dental is the the best office to get any dental work done very affordably. They are all extremely honest people and will explain and talk you through every step of your treatment! ๐Ÿ‘ I wish I could rate higher than 5 stars!!!!! Thank you for the amazing service!!

My son got his lip and tongue tie released today and it was seamless from appointment scheduling to after care discussion. The procedure lasted less than 5 minutes under the careful and meticulous hands of Dr. Axel Gerochi. I would highly recommend this clinic for lip/tongue/cheek ties release of your babies as they explained the procedure, risk and after care very well. Big plus that Dr. Gerochi is a breastfeeding advocate. Thank you to team Gerochi!

Not good, ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผfound them through website. Decided to try them as reviews seemed convincing. Booked with Axel Gerochi, waited nearly 2 hours before being seen. Consult was quite brief didnโ€™t really examined me and discussed procedure in detail. Price discussed then she suggested dental implants, have limited time so I opted for partial Valplast dentures as discussed prior to appointment. X-ray taken. She then said a certain dr tan will see me. So onto the dental chair with her, didnโ€™t feel any connection as sheโ€™s quite reserved and assistant barely talk too. Anyway, impressions was taken 2x, grazed inside my mouth as metal frame a bit rough. 2nd appt: dentures very tight, cried during trial. Several adjustments done but still very uncomfortable and painful. 3rd appt made as emergency, ( flying back that day), seen on time and that was the time that Axel Gerochi spoke with me, tried to reassure me and said to reconsider dental implants in future.Has she been involved on day one, this traumatic experience would not have happened. I will advise future clients to insist on seeing the one with the experience. My total bill in the end didnโ€™t reflect the discount Gerochi gave me as I didnโ€™t pay in cash. I am considering reporting my experience with the Philippine Dental Association and hear from them their advice on next step to take as until now the $$ ๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿค‘dentures I paid is not effective as lower denture becomes loose and eating and chewing has been difficult and frustrating.๐Ÿ˜• I told the receptionist that I need all reports, said it will be emailed soon... still nothing๐Ÿ™„ Story of my life... will not recommend, and apparently they have a pending Estafa case against them.๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ™„ 2/22/18 Still no reply ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ It just prove how untrue those feedbacks are. I sent them emails many times and my sister did it too. 1) nil email of my dental work ups. 2)Dr Tan never replied too. 3) Dr axel too. 4) and again Dr axel Once they got your money, youโ€™re just one of those # in their lists. I will probably never heard from them at all but their unprofessionalism is now exposed. From the reception area to masked assistants and their other inexperienced dentists, unless you need DENTAL IMPLANTS !!!๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ. The photos I saw of this clinic did not reflect my expectations. I hope those โ€œ Balikbayans โ€œ speak up if they noticed that something is amiss on their first visit. I wouldnโ€™t like you to waste your time and your hard earned money ๐Ÿ’ฐ ๐Ÿ’ธ. Find a genuine and honest dentist.. am sure there are still few who arenโ€™t. Talk is cheap. Iโ€™ve already sent my feedback to the Philippine dental association and awaiting response... but wait... did i just typed โ€œ dental โ€œ? Lol.. you figure it out too๐Ÿ˜ฒ Goodluck Update: Ended up scrapping dentures and had another one done here australia ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ, as itโ€™s too painful and uncomfortable to wear... waste of money ๐Ÿ’ด๐Ÿ’ด๐Ÿ™๐Ÿคจ

Clinic response ():

Response from the owner 8 years agoDear Ms. McCormack, Good day. I am taken aback after receiving your review. Whilst we welcome all feedbacks from our patients, we will not allow and tolerate fallacy against any of our staff and our clinic. 1. Waited approx. 2 hours. We are in the service line. It is inevitable that consultation and treatment may be extended as required by patient's current condition. I have personally talked to you to explain the delay and apologized for the long wait. And you agreed to wait and told me as I quote "That is fine Doc, mas matatakot ako if wala kayong pasyente" (That is fine Doc, I will be worried if you do not have patients). 2. Brief Consultation and Introduction of Dental Implants. Being an experienced Dental Practitioner, I know what I am doing and will recommend procedures to patients that is fit for them. Dental Implants is the best and long term solution for your current dental condition. Options were given and explained thoroughly in layman's terms for your easy understanding. At the end of the day, you opted to get partial Valplast Dentures not because you do not have the time, rather because you do not have the budget for Dental Implants yet. As explained to you previously, Dental Implants are the best replacement for missing teeth because of its convenience of not having to remove it unlike dentures. And it is the closest type to copy your original dental anatomy. 3. Dr. Aezel Tan. During our first consultation with me, I have told you that I will be attending a week long conference in Bangkok thus, I offered that Dr. Tan will look after you which you agreed. She examined you and performed what is required for your treatment. She explained to you the different types of dentures available and explained why the combination of valplast and metal denture was indicated for your case. You agreed and your response was "Thank you for explaining." Contrary to your claims, Dr. Tan has been welcoming and accommodating to you. You both even discussed about your family's vacation and other topics. She doesn't have to be chatty and flamboyant to be make her a better Dentist. She is a brilliant and experienced Dentist. As for our Dental Assistant, they are well-trained and pleasing. They just don't talk that much when patients are being treated especially when you have dental instruments inside your mouth. Apart from our expertise in Dental Services, patients are loyal and choosing us and even recommend their family and friends to us because of our exemplary staff. If you remember it right, you have a quotation from another clinic and gave you a cheaper rate yet you chose Gerochi Dental and Implant Center because you knew you we can deliver. 4. Denture fitting. From the very start, I have discussed to you and been repeatedly explained by Dr. Tan that new dentures may cause some discomfort while adjusting to your current dental condition. It is like having a new pair of shoes where you may experience pain and blisters in first few usage. Adjustments were made and you left the clinic satisfied and even say as I quote "I am happy with my new dentures". Furthermore, you were always advised that you should come back to clinic whether adjustments were necessary. We have before and after pictures of your teeth and smile. We never failed to explain clearly of the possible discomfort which we reiterated that it was just temporary. If you think your set of dentures were still uncomfortable, you will not have left the clinic until they got fixed. 5. Discount and mode of payment. You asked for a discount which I have agreed, however if you decide to pay by credit card, VAT still applies. This has been clearly explained to you and should not be taken against us. Our receptionist even showed the computation for your treatment fees several times and you agreed. 6. Estafa Case. I do not see any relevance to have it mentioned except to discredit and malign us. This is being handled by our Legal Team and no verdict has been made.

I visited the Gerochi dental clinic to get my denture replaced last week. This was after enquring at other dentists in the area and most of those said I needed many crowns replaced before the denture was replaced. At Gerochi clinic they found only one crown needed replacing to accommodate the new denture I was impressed by the professionalism of this dentist. They may not be the cheapest but certainly I think the best value I think I saved at least $1500 compared to getting done in Australia.

The one thing I require from a Dental Clinic is a PAINLESS EXPERIENCE.. I had my wisdom tooth removed the other day by Dr. Rico Gerochi and I was in complete awe when the procedure was done in less than 10 minutes and that I didn't even feel a single thing! Not only that, but the standards of hygiene and sterilization were extremely high. I really felt very safe; that I was in good hands. The staff were extremely professional also and very kind. Dr. Rico and his wife Dr. Axel were very kind, charming and professional. My trust in Dentists has been restored :-)

Response from the owner 10 years agoThank you Mr. Samara for a good review. We really appreciate the time you lent in making this. We can feel how happy you are from your experience with your wisdom tooth removal.

I had an unsuccessful tooth extraction with my previous dentist. It took that dentist almost 3h trying to extract it but wasn't successful. My tooth was cut off and my gums were ripped off that it had to be seamed. So i had this trauma. After a year, i had to extract it because it interfered with my other teeth. It took only almost 20 min for Dr. Rico to extract it and I haven't felt any pain and he was also encouraging and comforting. The staff was polite and very attentive too. It was just "swabe". I also had my braces with Dr. Axel and I have no question with the current status so far. They will provide you with the best payment scheme that will suit your budget. So if you have dental issues, don't wait, you can contact them and they'd be happy to assist you.

I don't really leave reviews often. But this clinic has really delivered unparalleled service that I feel obligated to share my experience to help others find their way to this place. I've visited Gerochi Dental several times and it was all absolute top-notch experience from booking an appointment, concierge, to each and every dentist executing the services. Dr. Aezel laid out my treatment plan with elaborate communication and clarity; Dr. Gerochi did my implant; Dr. Axel did my temporary crown when I accidentally broke it once; and there was another doctor who did my bone graft - equally excellent as the aforementioned. Unlike some clinics I've visited before that hastily recommended treatments just to make the most money despite not being in the patient's best interest, Gerochi Dental assessed my case with utmost diligence. Considerate. Compassionate. and Genuinely Caring. ๐Ÿค And they give you a complimentary cup of ice-cream after every visit ๐Ÿ˜Š. I'm never going anywhere else for my dental needs. May this clinic only continue to be better and long live the people that run this place. โœจ๏ธ

Dr. Alex Gerochi accomplished a stellar Frenectomy (Tongue Tie Surgery) earlier. The whole team in this clinic works harmoniously and provides excellent customer service.I'd like to point out how they handled me (patient) from discovery stage, up until the after-service. The receptionists are easy to talk to, amicable, and friendly. I also want to mention how gentle Dr. Gerochi carried out the Frenectomy โ€“ as someone who's very anxious to any painful surgery, Dr. Gerochi made sure that I experience the minimum amount of pain by combining comforting words and more anesthesia. Spoiler Alert : they give you a free Haagen-daaz ice cream after the surgery.
