Golden Dental Wellness Center's Online Review Report Card

Avoid this dentist at all costs. My mother trusted Dr. Golden with her dental care, and it resulted in devastating, irreversible damage. Instead of referring her to a specialist for procedures beyond her expertise, Dr. Golden attempted them herself, leading to porcelain veneers that failed after only two years. My mother ultimately lost most of those teeth, and in the process, Dr. Golden severed the frenum that connects her lip to her bone. This has left her with a permanent droop in her smile that even top cosmetic and maxillofacial surgeons have said cannot be repaired. To make matters worse, Dr. Golden referred my mother to a practitioner who administered IV ozone treatments. This treatment caused severe, widespread arthritis that has permanently impacted her quality of life. It also destroyed her veins, making it nearly impossible for her to receive IV treatments without a hospital procedure. Before seeing Dr. Golden, my mother was mobile, flexible, active, and full of energy. Now, she struggles daily with the lasting consequences of these decisions. If you value your health and well-being, do not trust this practice with your care.

Avoid this dentist at all costs! Her refusal to refer to specialists what she clearly was not competent to do herself led me to have porcelain veneers that destroyed my teeth and started to fail after only two years. I lost most of those teeth and in the process, had the frenum holding my lip to my bone severed, by her, leaving a permanent droop in my smile and face that cannot be repaired by some of the best cosmetic and maxillofacial surgeons in the area! Additionally, she referred me to a practitioner who treated patients with IV ozone. This treatment caused arthritis all over my body and has permanently destroyed all quality of life!It also destroyed all my veins and if I ever require an IV, a hospital procedure has to be performed. Avoid ruining your life and take NO ADVICE GIVEN BY THIS PRACTICE. I went to her in what I thought was tenuous health I was mobile, flexible, could work out, dance and travel. Wear whatever I wanted and had energy and hope! I had no idea what real poor health was until after she was done with me!!!

I need tell you about my truly awful experience with Linda Golden. She is in my estimation probably the worst dentist I've been to in my life and I've been to a lot being English. She's a very high pressure sales person professing to be caring. And a very low performance, low quality Dentist. The work she did on my mouth in supposedly as she put it "cleaning things up" before actually doing any of the work that I wanted done was ridiculously excessive and I was charged $7000. She effectively drilled to pieces every good tooth I had in my head and left me in incredible pain right before I was going into surgery for a mastectomy. I had no idea of the extent she intended to do because she didn't communicate that at all, she just said she was going to "clean things up" in my mouth. I was completely shocked at what she did and then the restorations she did were appalling they didn't fit, there are gaps, colors don't match and numerous areas that were incredibly painful, she broke off a cap and honestly, she was so rough in her execution, I left there feeling like I had been assaulted. I couldn't even drink tepid water without pain, hot and cold food was so painful. I was too terrified to go back to her to get them adjusted because I just didn't know how much more damage she was going to do to my mouth. I found a very good dentist in Brooklyn who fixed the cap that she completely broke off temporarily, it will now need an implant and re did the three very painful teeth. I lost yet another tooth because she destroyed so much of it and I had to get another expensive cap. She did this to me, knowing that I was actively being treated for breast cancer and she made it impossible for me to eat anything or even drink tepid water comfortably for three months. I had to wait until I was past the surgery before I could find a new dentist and get to him. He just completed the work last week. I can't begin to express what an awful experience this has been and how it has made this dreadful year even worse. I can't believe I was taken advantage of by such a charlatan when I was so ill and charged so much money for absolutely appalling destruction of my teeth. I would sue her, but I don't have the time or the resources right now as I'm going through chemo and honestly if I ever saw her again, I don't know what I would do because I am so incredibly angry. She needs to be struck off, stopped from hurting people and taking advantage of them, financially,. She's a menace to society. I think you should look at her yelp reviews. I wish I had before I went to her. I am not the only one that has suffered at her dreadful hands. If you wish to verify what I have told you here, you are welcome to contact my new dentist who has the detailed evidence of the damage done. She can supply you with the original cone xray for comparison. He's a very nice, kind, careful considered, gentle man, the polar opposite of what she is. I really don't no now what I'm going to do about my teeth because I still need to get the root canals dealt with but I now understand that complete porcelain teeth are not appropriate for molars as they would just break. I can only say that this has been a nightmare. And I never got the teeth that I wanted removed done. Yours, very sincerely Cay Chandler

I had an emergency dental situation and was fortunate to be seen by Dr. Rizvi right after my flight. I typically struggle with dental anxiety, but the pain pushed me to seek help. My experience with Dr. Rizvi was truly amazing. She is the gentlest and most patient doctor I've ever encountered. She even offered to place an implant the same day, but due to an infection in my tooth, it wasn't advisable. Nonetheless, I can't thank her enough—she is an outstanding dentist, and I am incredibly grateful for her care.

Throughout my life, I always thought dental cleanings were just fine—until I met Barbara. She truly redefined what a great cleaning feels like. She takes the time to explain the importance of routine check-ups and introduced me to excellent holistic products to keep my gums healthy. I can't recommend her enough!…..

I went to clean my teeth and it was quick, painless, and super thorough. My teeth have never looked or felt this clean. The staff was friendly, professional, and made me feel at ease the whole time. Highly recommend!

I had an exceptional experience at this office. The staff were very attentive, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I will be referring this clinic to all my friends and family.

Amazing doctors
