PATIENT REVIEWS

I recently moved from Chandler to Scottsdale and needed to find a new dentist. I was referred by a friend to Arizona Dental. I went in for my intital xrays and cleaning and the staff was wonderful, I was in and out. Dr. Gerard took the time to walk through my options on how I can achieve a better smile. We devised a plan and now I love my smile. If you need a dentist I would highly recommend coming to one of their two office locations. Thank you so much to the staff and Dr. Gerard!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Gerard and his staff for over 10 years now. I’m very impressed with how his offices have kept up with current technology. Since I’m so busy i do like the fact that I can be notified of appointments through text and email. I’ve had my teeth cleaned, filled, extracted and I’ve had 2 implants. i was very worried about these procedures. but, when i smiled I had a big hole in my mouth. Dr. Gerard assured me that I would be happy with the results. After a few somewhat painless appointments, I received my new permanent teeth. It’s a great feeling to smile with confidence once again. THANKS, to Dr. Gerard and his team!

I highly recommend Arizona dental everybody in the office is very friendly and very helpful a clean environment and very likable people. And the doctor is magnificent he works well with patients and he explains everything and complete detail and it’s just an all-around great doctor.

I have lived in AZ for 11 years now and I have had a hard time finding a dentist I like and trust. That was until I came to this office!!! They are friendly and professional. So friendly they share there DOUGHNUTS with me! Dr. Gerard always makes sure his clients are happy and keeps his office ethical. There are not many doctors like that around anymore. Thank you Doc!!!!!

I do not like coming to the dentist, I explained my reasons and fears & Dr Joe Gerard assured me that I had nothing to worry about. And he was so right, so much so that I had a root canal done by him, something I swore I would never have. The procedure went great, no real pain, no complications & everything was explained to me as he did his work. Thank you so much to Dr Gerard & his staff.

Great experience! The entire staff was friendly, personable and kind! Considering I am an extremely nervous person when it comes to the dentist, they took the time for me and explained everything in detail and all of my options. Outstanding service, I would definitely recommend them!! Thank you very much!!

I am blessed to have great teeth and all I needed was a new dentist near me for a cleaning. I was a little nervous when I saw the strip all location but once I met the hygienist and dentist I was fine. They did a fabulous job and got me in exactly when I was scheduled. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a great dental practice.

Arizona Dental is simply outstanding!!  I have been a patient for at least 15 years and every visit I’m WOW’D.  I don’t know how they consistently exceed all of my expectations.  I drive out of my way to get there and it’s worth it.  I have no anxiety or worries.  The team goes out of the way to ensure comfort and the education is easy to understand. Even the soft music playing is calming.   Oh yeah, if you have an emergency like I’ve had I was seen immediately. I could go on and on just know they are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Gerard since March 2017 for extensive work. He’s wonderful, very professional and knowledgeable, plus he’s warm and caring, which I appreciate since dentists in general make me nervous. Since day one, I felt like I was in good hands.  Clean and modern office.  Great staff.  Can’t think of a single negative thing to say.  I found his practice on Yelp and am so grateful I did.  I recommend Arizona Dental with no hesitation whatsoever.

I had an Extreme dental phobia for Decades. Which no doubt lead to me needing dentures at age 61. Dr. Gerard was referred to me by my father-in-law as someone who had done his dentures. I was still apprehensive, but when I admitted my fear to the receptionist on the phone, she was so warm and caring and not at all judgemental. Dr. Gerard was wonderful! As my father-in-law said, he was patient and knowledgeable, with a warm and welcoming personality. No one lectured me or made me feel bad about the horrible state of my teeth. I’m sure they’ve seen it all, but I really felt like they cared about my comfort and peace of mind. My dentures were expertly crafted by Dr. Gerard and I received many compliments on how nice they looked. After years of hiding my teeth, I now had a reason to smile! In hindsight, I would recommend that when you go to Any dentist, ask a Lot of questions. I had No idea how long “immediate” dentures took, or what kind of adjustments I would need to make to my whole approach to eating! So research and ask questions. And of course, it’s critical to choose the right dentist – which is why I gladly drove 20 miles (one way) to go to Dr. Gerard! He is worth the trip! I’m happy to share my experience and suggestions – my book about my experience is available on Amazon. It’s called “Denture Adventure – the year I got teeth for my birthday.” I have a companion book with recipes and meal suggestions called – “Chopper Optional – recipes for the recently toothless.”

I had my first appointment here! I saw the wonderful reviews on Yelp and decided to give it a go. The staff were amazing and helped me get through the crappy x-rays even though I took awhile. I have follow up appointments already made and am not nervous at all! Very up front with billing and estimates. Overall 10/10 experience.

Dr Gerard was the one who was able to restore my husband’s smile after other dentists had failed. In addition, everyone in the office is so friendly and down to earth they make the process less scary. We believe in the work they are doing so much that we recently brought my mother in to begin treatment. If you need dentures, particularly if you have had bad experiences in the past, this is where you want to be.

The staff was pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable. Dr. Gerard was professional, informative and made me feel comfortable immediately. Looking forward to a continued relationship of good dental health with AZ Dental. Dr. Terry Martin – Scottsdale

I had not been to the dentist in over 15 yeas when I visited Joe Gerard at Arizona Dental. As expected, I had 11 teeth that needed fillings. I can report that the experience was never more than passingly uncomfortable. Joe is very personable and makes the experience as painless as possible – a follow-up root canal was a piece of cake. I recommend him to everyone I know who is in need of dental work, and two of those people have thanked me afterward.

After paying for dentures and three prior dentist to alter them I finally went to my friends dentist in Sun City. Dr. Joe Gerard, D. D. S. with Arizona Dental. Dr. Gerard noticed immediately without me saying anything that the teeth in the dentures were to big and the shape was completely wrong for my mouth. After examination, new impressions and minor root removal, I was fitted with a wax pair of teeth for size and color before the permanent dentures were made. OMG, I went today for my new dentures and I was so elated. They are smaller teeth and the teeth have texture and shape just like my real teeth had. I won’t even need any kind of adhesive to chew food with. I was having to use powder on top and glue on the bottom to eat food. I look so pretty and natural and they are so much whiter too. My other dentures were just flat teeth with little shape. the gum covered most of the back of each tooth causing less biting and chewing power. The gums are less bulky also which means my mouth doesn’t look pushed out anymore. He really understands dentures and has the experience and compassion for those of us who are unfortunate to have to have dentures. Dr. Gerard doesn’t believe in they are “just a pair of dentures”. He treats each person needs accurately. My friend has a completely different mouth then I, but fit her perfectly. His staff in sun City are fantastic, helpful and courteous . I highly recommend everyone who wares dentures to make an appointment just for a consultation if nothing else because if you do, it will be well worth your time.

I had been to another Surprise Dentist one year ago who recommended a root canal on a tooth that had previously had a root canal. I had been in pain so I thought ok…I’m no dentist. $3000.00 and a painful experience. They took off the previous crown and they put on a new one. After all this pain and expense my tooth still hurt,so I went back. They filed down the new crown and sent me off. One year later the pain came back! I returned to that dentist. “Oh your tooth is fractured and now you need an implant, plus it’s infected!” I had been to them twice before this. So I went to Arizona Dental and saw Dr Gerard who explained that my tooth was no doubt fractured when they did the root canal. I simply love his way of explaining things and making me feel like I am in the most capable hands possible. He has a delightful personality and a welcoming way. His staff are most accommodating, friendly and have sparkling personalities. Going to a dentist is no fun! Having a tooth pulled is less fun! Dr Gerard and his team make it as good as it can be. I highly recommend them!

My mother referred me to Dr. Gerard for tooth extraction and upper dentures. Very fearful from past experiences with other dentists and left with no other options I scheduled the procedure. Amazing!! I love the staff and how comfortable they made me feel, affordable and most importantly my smile looks great! I couldn’t be more pleased! Thank you

Wow! What an amazing experience! I am not a fan of going to the dentist at all! Arizona Dental has absolutely changed my opinion. I had a broken tooth, they got me in the same day AND they did the crown at that appointment. They are in network with my insurance and helped me finance my portion! Great staff and Dr Gerard is awesome.

What an amazing experience! Dr.Gerard was so very thoughtful and caring. He answered all of my questions and genuinely listened to my concerns as I have true dental anxiety. I had zero pain at my appointments and absolutely love my smile! They even have financing options that are very affordable. Each member of his staff are very kind and helpful. I love my dentist!

I am in my sixties and have been to a lot of Dentists in my life but only A. Joe Gerard in the last 15 years because not only do I rate his work and knowledge excellent I enjoy his company as he treats you like a personal friend. I personally guarantee that if you use his services once you will be with him for life. JWC

Dr Gerard is by far the best I have EVER gone to! the staff is friendly! I feel comfortable knowing I’m in a place that I can trust with something like my teeth that I have struggled for so long with. I use to have horrible tooth pains and teeth were chipping, it was so bad. Now I’m happy with how my teeth are coming out,I still have ways to go BUT by far the best my teeth have ever looked & felt! Thank you Dr. Joe Gerard

Excellent experience. Dr Gerard and his staff make you feel comfortable the moment you walk into his office. Quality dental work at a fair price. They don’t try to sale you something you don’t need like so many other offices. I have had extensive dental work completed by Dr Gerard and have had excellent results.

Dr. Gerard performed a root canal on my son (17). He was so professional and at the same time put my son at ease, he did a wonderful job. He goes above and beyond to make sure his patient is comfortable and is so great at explaining each step he does so his patient also knows what is going on. I would recommend him to anyone!

A wonderful visit to AZ Dental today. Dr Gerard and his staff are pleasant, friendly and have a wealth of dental information and skills to share. I like knowing what is ahead in my treatment plan. I have been wearing the Clear Correct braces for a year. I am close to the completion of my dental correction. My teeth are aligned and my smile has changed into something beautiful. Being a patient in the AZ Dental Practice for many years Dr Gerard proves himself time and time again as a perfectionist in every aspect of dentistry. With each procedure performed at AZ Dental I know my concerns will be treated with a thoughtful level of expertise. I would recommend Dr Gerard for dental care.

I have used Dr Gerard for 13 years. He has gone above and beyond to not only fix my dental issues, but make it a good experience. I actually don’t dread going to see him. He truly loves what he does, and does it well. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The last person I sent was so happy she didn’t even know he pulled her tooth. How many people do you know that walk out of the dentist smiling and happy? If they don’t go to Arizona Dental, they should.

This is such a great place, clean, organized and professional.  Dr. Gerard is amazing and explains everything to you.  I like that everything is done in house and Dr. Gerard is the only dentist so you don’t have to repeat yourself every time you go in.  I felt comfortable from the moment I entered the office and I can’t express enough how friendly the staff is.

Had a great experience today. Want to thank you for not charging us for my sons’s missed dental appointment; he went back to school and forgot to reschedule. Also, wasn’t sure about the amount today, with my insurance, so they will just bill me instead of overcharging my care credit. Clean, quiet office and such a kind staff. Dr. Gerard is quick and efficient and explains the treatment you may or may not need; just what you want when going to the dentist office. So glad they are 4 minutes from my house.

Great place! Friendly, professional staff. I went in with a coupon from a mailer to get my teeth cleaned and got an hour 1/2 of 100% attention. I never sat in the chair waiting. My hygienist was Katie who was so knowledgeable and professional I thought she was the dentist. Katie took her time to explain every single thing she was doing from what she was looking for to what she thought she saw without actually diagnosing anything, (which the dentist confirmed). She was very thorough. I was impressed at how well she knew her job and could do it as quick as she did without causing me any pain or discomfort. It was apparent that she loved her job, which made my patient experience that much better. I came out with a few different recommendations for further dental work. They had the plan ready for me along with a payment plan in place. I called four different dentists, and none of them had a payment plan! They were also more expensive.

I went to Dr. Gerard about six months ago, after it seemed my previous dental practice (of about 20 years) had become distant and very sales-oriented. I have nothing but good things to say. The staff is friendly and cheerful and Dr Gerard has been great!! I highly recommend Arizona Dental. It also doesn’t hurt that their Cactus office is 4 minutes away.

Dr. Gerard & his staff are ROCK STARS! I recently had to have my remaining 12 teeth pulled, replaced with dentures & 2 implants. I have several Auto-immune diseases and am on many medications. Dr. G made sure to contact my specialists to confirm that anything he did wouldn’t interfere with my ongoing health issues. I moved here from Michigan, where I had a stellar medical team for 22+ years and have found the majority of specialists here to be very disappointing. Dr. G is certainly NOT in that category! He is patient, kind and has a great sense of humor, which never hurts. My dentures were made beautifully, on site, & adjustments are a quick easy appointment. They’ve seen me on short notice, and always answer the phone when I’ve had questions. The wait time for appointments has never been more than a few minutes. His staff are so helpful and always cheerful. They also offer coupons for services. My smile now is STUNNING! I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Gerard and his staff! I recommend them to everyone I talk to. In 56 years, I’ve never liked going to the dentist and have no problem seeing Dr. G and his staff, at all! Thank you SO MUCH, Arizona Dental!!!

Dr. Gerard is a compassionate, artistic and highly skilled dentist.  From the moment that you make an appointment until your dental work is completed, a patient is treated with respect and with a caring attitude.  His appointments are scheduled so that he has time to identify your needs, suggest appropriate treatment and to answer all of your questions.  He is focused on his patients to ensure that they get the proper treatments with the minimum discomfort, educates as to how to care for the dental work and draws the patient in as a valued team member.  He leads by example and his staff is patient centered as well.  Had I had Dr. Gerard as my dentist when I was a child, I would not have had this irrational fear of dentist all of my life and would have sought dental care regularly.  Now I had to get dental implants to compensate for my lack of dental care.  This has been a journey with Dr. Gerard and he has made it the best it can be.  I am extremely happy with my dental implants for functionality and beauty.  I highly recommend Dr. Gerard of Arizona Dental.

For over 20 years I had avoided a dentists office! That is until I had unbearable tooth pain and was referred to Dr. Gerard by a coworker. After I had explained my fear/concerns, Dr. Gerard made me feel so at ease that I was able to have 3 teeth pulled without being put under!That was a HUGE accomplishment to get to for me! Now two years later, I am seeing him and his staff on a regular basis for cleanings, replacing old broken fillings, and even completing a much needed crown or two! Everyone in is office is so warm and welcoming that now I actually look forward to my dental appointments ! Big thanks to everyone at Arizona Dental (both offices) for being the BEST !!!!!
