Gary L Geaccone, DDS

Poor experience with this Dr. He came across as very arrogant and condescending. His waiting room ia very small and dark, which is extra frustrating when there is a loud patient in there waiting with you.
He tried to convince me into having a bridge done even after I explained I’d rather have an implant.
On the good, they did take thorough xrays and did a fair cleaning.
The final straw was how he spoke to my daughter. She has sensory problems and he threatened to strap her down to the chair next time so he could finish the procedure! No, you won’t! Time to find a gentle pediatric dentist.
There’s so many options out there for dentists… sorry I wasted my cleaning on this one.

this was the worst experience with any doctor in my entire life. I had an initial appointment because of a very painful wisdom tooth, I got around 18 X-​rays and had the dr look at my teeth and he said my wisdom tooth just needed to drop down a little more and we could pull it, he said maybe a month. I said okay but let him know how badly it had been hurting me so he said okay we can go ahead and remove it and my other two that had come in. We set an appointment for 3 extractions a full mouth deep cleaning and my fillings.
A couple days before my next appointment I called the office and said I didn’t have enough money to do everything at once so I would like to post pone the deep cleaning until the next month, the lady on the phone said it was no problem and confirmed we would just do the fillings and extractions.
When I went in for the appointment, the girl at the front re confirmed everything and charged me for the fillings and extractions, I even had my dad schedule the day of work so he could drive me to and from the appointment.
When I got in the chair with the dentist he said okay, we are doing your deep scales and fillings right? I said no, I had cancelled the cleaning and just want to do the fillings and extractions today. He wouldn’t listen and made the comment that I would need to see an oral surgeon for that and any regular dentist that would offer to do teeth extractions was a joke. I told him then I will only do the fillings that day and I need my money refunded for the extractions. He put his hand up in my face and told me to wait a minute so he could talk to my dad about it. I’m 26 years old, there was no reason to speak to anyone but me. My dad was just a ride. He still didn’t listen and my dad said he would help me pay for the deep cleaning and to go ahead and just do it. Reluctantly I did.
Dr. geaccone did not offer anything to numb my mouth for a full deep cleaning under my gums or for the fillings (which I had 5 I believe) he just kept getting stern with me about not moving because I didn’t want to have to get a shot to numb my mouth because the shot would really hurt. I have never felt that kind of pain in my mouth in my entire life. And while all this was going on he kept criticizing me for not have coming to the dentist sooner, my dad told him twice to lay off because I am a single mother who works over 40hrs a week and my kids come before my needs. I also got to know that dr. Geaccone is an extremely right wing republican who absolutely hates the president and how worthless he is and how horrible the country is. On that one, I myself am not a fan of the president but that was so unprofessional to try and Condem me for putting the dentist on the back burner and to go on about politics in such an offensive way. At one point I even told him if I had the money I would have been to a dentist sooner, but seeing how I had been hospitalized a few times the prior year for other medical reasons and had not had any insurance it just wasn’t in the cards. His response was to tell me I should be more responsible and save my money for the dentist. That was the second time my dad told him to lay off.
After it was finally over a girl wrote a prescription for mouth wash and said she would call it in after lunch. This was at 11:15, my dad and I ran some errands and at 2pm went to pick up the mouth wash… Nothing had been called in. I called the dentist and was hung up on… So we waited another 30 min and called again. The girl said she had just got in from lunch and was calling it in right then. Great, so we waited another 20 min in the Parking lot before going back in, it’s almost 3 now. I went to the counter where the had to tell me again no one had called. Angry we left and I went home, at 3:30 I called the dentist again to ask where my prescription was and the same girl that said she did it earlier so oh yeah I did it hours ago… No ma’am you did not. I then called the pharmacy to see if they called and they said yes just a few minutes before I had called. The whole thing was awful from start to finish.
After my procedures where done, no one explained any after care to me, all I had was a brief run through from the forms I read that they had me sign while already in the chair.
By 4:30 my mouth started bleeding, heavily it bleed all the way until 8am the next morning. I had blood on my face, pillows, sheets, and some on the wall from when I woke up at 4 am because I was chocking on all the blood in my mouth. It was horrible. I would never recommend this «dentist» to anyone ever.
When I finally got to an oral surgeon to have my wisdom teeth pulled, I bleed for maybe an hour at it was minimal. Nothing like I did for the deep cleaning I got that I should have been thankful for since as he put it, is the most gentle dentist around.
