Dr. Gerald Peter Curatola, DDS

I truly felt like a victim here. From severe price shock, mistakes galore, malpractice and empty promises to make it right, Dr. Gerry Curatola is a shiny accomplished crook ultimately, prioritizing his wallet over his patients. At one point I screamed in the dentist chair to alert the Dr. who was drilling my tooth before he numbed it. He would sing dean martin sliding from room to room working on multiple patients simultaneously, clearly loosing track of important details. The poorly run office with scheduling, wait times and no mental prep for cost and tx plan would be worth it if I was in good hands. I got metal removed and 4 new crowns at $3200 each. A week later, one abscessed and he sent me for a root canal and he begrudgingly replaced the crown. 2 years later, a second abscessed and I had to pay for a second root canal and new crown from a new Dr. And now, another 1.5yrs later, I’m told that the other two crowns need replacing. These should last 10+yrs. My anger continues…

SCAMMED ME. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE REPORT. I watched a webinar on holistic health with Dr Curatola and it sounded wonderful with a cone beam xray and ozone cleaning yadda yadda. I went there to get amalgam filling taken out of 1 tooth in pain as an emergency patient. I did NOT receive any ozone cleaning or cone beam scan in hindsight. Now just 3 months later I am in excruciating pain again which is what I could expect from a general dentistry practice not a holistic dentist! The office charged me 2500 took the money after saying I'd get a cleaning which NEVER happened. Now suddenly the office says they have no cone beam machine in office (it's located in the hamptons, or I can get one referred to me for an extra cost!!! would not even be that same day). The office says the Dr. did not do ozone cleaning based on the opinion of the Dr. that day. (really it was because I was being rushed out) I was told I would get a cleaning and it never happened not even a regular one. Dr. C has a line of toothpaste out but no cone beam!! This is the definition of cone beam for holistic dentistry based on holisticdentists.com "This type of CT scanner uses a special type of technology to generate three dimensional (3-D) images of dental structures, soft tissues, nerve paths and bone in the craniofacial region in a single scan. Images obtained with cone beam CT allow for more precise treatment planning." The front desk said that a cone beam ONLY looks at bone which is a straight up lie as they try to cover up the truth by misleading me. If you are living a holistic lifestyle this is not the place to go for comprehensive care. They are promoting the practice by misleading people about the cone beam which Dr. C says is essential for every dentist to have, which he doesn't! NOW IM IN EXCRUCIATING PAIN AND NEED A CONE BEAM BUT THEY TOOK ALL THE FUNDS I HAVE AND STUCK IN PAIN!!!!

I always fearful of the pain, the dental office smell, the embarrassment of the condition of my teeth and the huge cost associated with going to the dentist, that was until I went to Dr Curatola. I never ever had an experience like the one I had there in any drs office. I was served hot tea and did not have to fill out lengthy paperwork. The exam was thorough and I could not believe all I learned about my dental health and it's connection to why I was feeling under the weather. The best part was I hardly felt uncomfortable or embarrassed, there was a reason why my teeth were getting worse. The entire staff were friendly and I think really cared about me.
