Zina Gotlieb, DDS

I have never seen Dr. Gottleib as a patient because her receptionist is too lazy to do her job. I signed up with Guardian Insurance and chose Dr. Gottleib as my dentist. I called the office on 3 separate occasions after being assured by Guardian that my name was faxed to Dr. Gottleib’s office as one of her new patients with Guardian insurance. Each time that I called Dr. Gottleib’s office, her receptionist told me that she never received the fax. I work as a medical secretary and when I encounter similar situations, I call the insurance company on behalf of the patient. This receptionist could not be bothered. Therefore, I will choose another dentist as it seems that Dr. Gottleib has too many patients and her receptionist is too busy to deal with anymore.

I have been a paitent of Dr Gotleibs for several years now. The work of both herself and her staff has always been excellent. They’ve always been on top of everything, and done a great job taking care of my needs. They are also very accomidating as far as getting appointments quickly. I’ve had nothing but great experiences with her.

Do not use DR. Gottleib as your dentist. I am a elderly woman who has had three crowns done by her. All of the crowns have sensitivity and hurt when I chew. She obviously wanted to make money off of insurance by doing work I did not need. I hope she is not doing this to other people as well.

Dr. Gottlieb cleaned my teeth and discussed various options for fixing my chipped front molar. She was ambivalent about doing a composite bonding because their longevity is unpredictable, but didn’t object when I told her how I felt about crowns. She also suggested I bleach my teeth, which I said was unneccessary. I have no cavities, and unlike other dentists, Dr. Gottlieb did not recommend any «coatings» or «sealants. She is a good saleswoman who does quality work, AND respects the patient’s financial concerns.
