World Class Dentistry 5/9/2012

I had some very questionable dentistry done to me by another dentist and Dr. Gorman was able to fix all of my considerable problems with full implants for my upper teeth. His work was perfect and now my teeth look better than they ever looked in my life. I can eat anything and I feel confident when I smile. When I tell people about what my situation was, and how Dr. Gorman saved my smile, they find it hard to believe that a person with such perfect teeth was not always that way. His empathy and dedication, and the dedication of his staff are something that is rarely encountered in the world today; a world class dentist in a world class office. Thanks Dr. Gorman. more

Horrible 4/15/2012

1. He charged me a whopping $500 for a diagnostic cast (going price from $30 to $120). He also was trying to sell me a ton of dental work, saying that i have TMJ ( i dont' have it) and i need a bunch of crowns and veneers to treat it. He was pushing over $1000 worth of extra teeth cleaning on me. 2. He is very obnoxious , pushy , full of himself , and a borderline rude person. 3. I looked up his dental license here www.dbc.ca.gov/verification/license_verification.shtml and found out that his license was revoked and he was given 5 years of probation for insurance fraud and lousy failed work he performed on some of his patients. You can read the descriptions of his case on that site. 4. I don't know why he was given his license back because he is nothing but a liar and a money- grubbing scammer. more

Hands down the best dentist in the Valley! 3/3/2011

I have seen a gamut of dentists over the years and NEVER have I been as informed and healthy (Pain-free) as I am now at Dr. Gorman's office! Prior to Sanda (Hygienist), my former dentists used to do my cleanings. I would literally be in and out of those visits in a matter of 30 min. I now actually look forward to my thorough, hour-long hygiene visits. I had no clue about the link between our oral health to our overall health and how we can risk develop serious illnesses if we do not take good care of our teeth and gums! After learning this information, I have become OCD about brushing and flossing my teeth and have made all my friends the same way. Not to mention that I never knew that I was a ""Clencher"" and that what seemed to be ""life-long headaches"" of mine were actually caused by clenching of my teeth- which apparently results from stress. Long story short, hands down the best dentist in the Valley! I never thought I would be rambling on about a dentist on here, but I will assure you, Dr. Gorman's office is not your typical dental office. I actually have fun going there and would recommend him highly. more

Got Rid of My Headaches! 1/25/2011

Dr. Gorman used a thorough and comprehensive approach to diagnose and treat my TMJ and related headaches. I haven't had a problem since his treatment! He works with a friendly and dedicated staff, making it an easy dental experience. more

Knowledgeable, comfortable and friendly! 1/25/2011

The best teeth cleaning ever! Sanda is gentle, yet I always leave the office with my mouth feeling so clean and fresh. Dr. Gorman always thoroughly explains what's going on in my mouth, as well as the ""best for me"" treatment plan. It's an inviting office, with a super friendly staff! Jill more

HORRIFIC DENTAL EXPERIENCE 12/17/2010

I suffer extensively from the failed dental work I agreed to after a consultation with Dr. Martin Gorman. I was NEVER informed by the Dental Board nor by Dr. Martin N Gorman that he was under investigation and later licensed with an imposed probation for 5 yrs when he convinced me to agree to his treatment plan. I stayed with him for over a decade and he NEVER informed me during all those years. That decision leaves me suffering for life with the worst experience in dental treatment I could have ever imagined. more

T M J disorders 10/13/2009

From my first meeting with Dr. Gorman I had no doubt I would be satisfied with the results. I was impressed with Dr. Gorman’s obvious knowledge and training in TMJ and the office was equipped with the most technologically advanced equipment. What I later learned is that Dr. Gorman’s greatest asset is not his education or state of the art equipment but his vast bank of personal experience from past TMJ patients, which he draws from to treat current patients. His experience enables him to successfully treat TMJ patients who fall outside the typical case, making him a true expert in the field. I have also been completely satisfied with the treatment process itself. Dr. Gorman’s staff is friendly and personable making the monthly appointments enjoyable. The atmosphere in the office is comfortable, relaxing, and pleasant. I recommend Dr. Gorman without any reservations.\r \r - Steve S\r more

unique solution 10/13/2009

I was diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and attempted to use the C-PAP machine for several months and not simply could not tolerate it. After trying available products I decided that there must be a more comfortable and better way to reliably keep from sleeping on my back. Dr. Gorman offered a truly unique solution. He recommended a mouthpiece appliance that I could wear at night. Since I began wearing the mouthpiece I have experienced dramatic improvement on all of my problems. As time passes we tend to forget the bad and remember the good, but were you to ask my wife she could tell you about the sleepless nights due to my snoring and the worry she had when I momentarily stopped breathing. Most of the problems seem to be behind me and are at least manageable. The intermittent breathing problems are gone along with the associated daytime fatigue. In summary, I am well pleased with the dedicated care and genuine concern exhibited by you and your capable staff. Most of all I am happy to understand those problems previously mentioned and to know that you are available to help me work through them. Dr. Gorman, please feel free to quote me to your other patients or use this letter on your web site, as I am extremely pleased with your care and advice \r \r - David Cardeli\r more

my smile looks so great everyone I meet thinks it’s natural 10/13/2009

“For the first time in over twenty years, I am comfortable being in family pictures. Before, I always volunteered to be the photographer because I was so embarrassed about my teeth. Now, my smile looks so great everyone I meet thinks it’s natural! Thanks, Dr. Gorman!” \r \r Reggie Washington\r more

Thanks to Dr. Gorman and his amazing staff, 10/13/2009

Thanks to Dr. Gorman and his amazing staff, finally making the decision to re-do my smile was one of the best I’ve ever made. Right from the initial consultation to the day I walked out with my new smile, his attention to detail, and his consideration for my concerns was far above any level I had expected. I cannot say enough about his office, as everything that was important to me, became important to them as well. I’m thrilled with the results, and cannot tell you the number of compliments I’ve received as I now smile all the time! If you’re thinking about making such a decision, look no further for than Dr. Gorman. \r \r Sandra Gill\r more

Dr. Gorman was always able to fix any problem 10/13/2009

“I have been a patient of Dr. Gorman’s for nearly 20 years now, and he is not only a dentist, but an artist. In the past when the work of my previous dentist failed, Dr. Gorman was always able to fix any problem, and did it beautifully. His entire office staff is friendly and knowledgeable. And I’m not kidding when I say that I actually ENJOY going to the dentist!” \r \r Joanne Green\r more

simple solution 10/13/2009

“My doctor said there was no cure for my sleep apnea, that I should lose weight. I told him I was too tired to exercise and that diet alone doesn’t work for me. So you can imagine my joy when I cured my sleep apnea with your appliance therapy program in less than 60 days. The simple solutions are often the best. Thanks.” \r \r Scott Dupre\r more

fabulous smile 10/13/2009

I have always been self conscious about my smile, but never had the guts to do anything about it until I was advised by my regular dentist to replace the cracked crown on one of my front teeth. However, my dentist never once mentioned improving the appearance of my teeth. Then I saw Dr. Gorman’s advertisement in the newspaper, and decided to call his office. Following my initial consultation with him, I decided to go forward with treatment. He seemed determined and dedicated to make my smile fabulous. I felt totally confident with his expertise and at ease with the entire staff. And now that my treatment is over, my teeth are beautiful! I feel on top of the world and I am smiling a lot more often to show off my shining straight white teeth. Thank you, Dr. Gorman and the staff, for a lovely experience and for turning my life around.\r \r Francis Smith\r more

Thank you Dr. Gorman and staff! 10/13/2009

I have suffered for several years with facial pain, teeth hurting, ears popping, and muscle pain in my neck. I had consulted several doctors and dentists who tried everything from medications to dental work and appliances so I couldn't grind my teeth. I was beginning to think I would have to live on a soft diet and in pain forever. Then my ENT referred me to Dr. Gorman after ruling out sinus problems. At my first consultation with Dr Gorman I was extremely impressed! He explained what was going on with me as if he felt the pain too! He used models and pictures to be sure I understood it all and then he explained how we could work together to fix it! Who could have known that all this pain was caused by a TMJ problem. Now I am half way through phase I and most of my pain is gone!! Every month when I come in for my adjustment he and his staff are sure to answer all my questions and are so encouraging! If you are having pain like I was, this is the place to fix it!! Thank you Dr. Gorman and staff! more

Understanding TMJ 6/19/2009

Dr. Gorman and his staff have “raised the bar” above all of the dentists out there that are not awake, or who don’t want to take the time and effort to train themselves to help patients like me with severe TMJ disorders. This experience has been a life changer. The staff “gets” the pain you’ve suffered and are currently suffering and can care for you in a very special way. more
