As a future dental student, I have been to over 15 different dental offices. Dr. Douglas B. Gultz has out of all the practices I have been to, one of the most well-maintained practices with a newly implemented digital x-ray equipment and a parking lot for patient convenience. Patients literately travel great distances to see Dr. Gultz and his illustrious staff which include administrative assistants that remember the patient's name, the name of their family members and the name of the patient's youngest daughter's teddy bear she got last Christmas because she brought him to the office; not by their chart number; dental assistants who work so efficiently that characterizing them as a "well-oiled machine" would not even begin to depict their skillfulness; general dental practitioners who not only love what they do but are nothing less but outstanding at their skill, and specialty dental practitioners who in my opinion should be nationally renowned but it's only a matter of time.
When I visit dental offices, I rate a dental practice according to many different levels none of which include the amount of things I learn during my time in the office. When I learn something, it is just an advantage for myself. I rate an office according to the staff's ability of efficiency to work together in a manner which allows a patient to leave grinning from ear to ear, proudly displaying their dentition. Dr. Gultz and his staff received a 5/5 for that part of the test. Another rating I give an office is their ability to inspire me to continue my pursuit of dentistry. A dental practitioner that can motivate another prospective dental student to work hard towards dentistry after practicing dentistry for over 33 years is a dentist who not only loves their career and their admirable skill but they love it so much that they want it to continue for future generations and take pride in their career. This pride and dedication to their profession is seen when patients walk out smiling due to a job excellently well-done. Dr. Gultz and his staff received a 10/5 rating since I am excited to attend dental school more than ever now.
I do not only highly recommend Dr. Douglas B. Gultz's practice for all patients in the Tri-State area, I recommend his entire staff as well because all the dental and administrative assistants, the hygienists, Dr. Tracy Lipson, Dr. Kate Diana, Dr. Mitesh Faldu, Dr. Mark Schachman, Dr. Torin Rutner, and Dr. Ellen Katz have all set new standards for dentistry and inspire fellow prospective dental students such as myself to follow in their footsteps.
