Dr. David Gablin had some of the most unprofessional behavior I have witnessed from a medical professional. I took a 3 hour round trip journey to get there, waited over an hour to see the doc in a packed waiting room without air conditioning. I was in pain and my insurance had authorized me to receive 2 root canals though my regular dentist. Then when I saw Dr. Gablin, I told him my insurance had recommended I get a copy of the pre-authorization which would speed up the process of transferring the authorization to his office. My dentist also suggested this. Dr. Gablin said he didn't know what I was talking about and said he would not see me. Even though I was in pain and needed help, he kicked me out of the practice, simply because I had requested some paperwork! It was deeply strange, unprofessional and unethical behavior on the part of a medical professional. I would stay away from this dentist at all cost.

The place seems a bit run down. Understatement, the place is run down. The dental chair had tears, the walls were dingy and moldy, the equipments were absolutely ancient! The dental staffs were untrained and inadequate when I asked them questions, not to mention rude as well. Then again, the staffs were mostly high-schoolers. However, I can't just judge the place just by its facility and staff.

Dr. Gavlin seemed okey at first. I neither liked or disliked him. But after my second visit I realized what a blood-sucker he was---to be more precise, a money-grubbing-stinking-businessman, a man who would go to lengths to make a dollar. In my case it was about $1000. I only had a minor sensitivity, I just wanted a consultation on how to prevent further sensitively, instead he tried to sell me a $80 toothpaste, a glue procedure to glue my gums together, and a gum surgery.

I consulted with another dentist and she told me to use Sensodyne toothpaste. It cost about $5. I won't tell you to avoid this place, its up to you. I for one well never step into this immoral establishment again. Making money by dishonestly is just wrong.
