Reviews often describe careful, reassuring treatment for patients with significant dental anxiety, including dim lighting and calming distractions during cleanings, and several note a dentist, most often Dr. Mark Wierzba, walking patients through x-ray findings and procedure steps before starting.

I am very satisfied with Gambacorta Dental. The office staff is very pleasant, my Dental Hygenist Elaine is wonderful and Dr Mark Wierzba is very professional and they all make me feel relaxed and cared for. I couldn't ask for better people to take of me and my dental needs.

Jacqueline made my entire visit absolutely amazing. From start to finish, she made sure to attend to every single detail of my visit and addressed any and all questions and concerns I had down to the smallest detail. Her reassuring and attentive attitude made me feel safe as a patient. I would trust her with my dental care any day. I can’t recommend enough. The entire establishment from the front desk to the dental providers were kind, caring, and treated you with respect. Overall 10/10 experience.

I am terrified of the dentist and after having bariatric surgery my dental health failed. My dentist and tech here were wonderful. They walked me through everything and made sure I felt nothing. Thank you for being my new dentist!

Jacquie cleaned my teeth today! I would highly recommend her as she is the best one that I’ve ever had! The other thing is Dentist that came in assured me that he can fix what the other Dentist screwed up ha ha ha, but the dentist is not from there. I have a lot of confidence in them, had their office. From the reception to the hygienist to the dentist they are all really really good!
