The only reason I went to Dr. Gelle was that the dentist I was regularly seeing had retired, and he had recommended Dr. Gelle. I found Dr. Gelle to be sociable, but quite arrogant and abrasive. When I asked him questions about treatment, he would interrupt me without letting me finish my question. Dr. Gelle came across as a know-it-all and failed to explain treatment options/methods in a thorough and complete manner. The most reprehensible thing he did however was put five fillings in my wife's teeth after telling her she only needed one. Dr. Gelle continued applying fillings without letting my wife know what he was doing!
With all of the choices East Bay consumers have in selecting a general dentist, it perplexes me as to why Dr. Gelle would engage in such practices. His staff was comprised of mainly young, but courteous folks. Although they were pleasant, it was difficult to tolerate the rap and hip-hop music they play at high volumes while sitting in the dentist's chair with your mouth wide open!
Needless to say, my experience, as well as wife's experience with Dr. Gelle was quite unpleasant.
