If I can say I loved a visit to the dentist and I never thought Id ever say that then I did. Everything was explained to me in terms I could understand. I was shown the x rays so I could see the damage for myself. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. I am in for a lot of work but I am completely relaxed and ready for it. The fact I will be sedated is a big load off my mind. If I liked dentists and could face the pain I wouldnt be in the shape Im in. Thank you Dr. Ormsby and staff for getting me started in the right direction. NEW REVIEW I have read all the reviews. Good and not so good. I guess we all have to make up our own mind. No I wasnt prepared for the amount of money I have to pay but after having the surgery last Monday with out any pain AND finding out I did not need a root canal all is ok with me. She could have very well done the rc and I would have never known the difference. They make all the financial arrangements and will call them to reduce the bill. Knowing I will be able to keep my anchor teeth and my upper plate is great. They have scheduled several more appointments to put in the permanent crowns and the rest of the work. If someone wore temporary crowns for a year as far as Im concerned thats their fault. I have received nothing but friendly, caring service.

My wife went to Dr. Ormsby after searching for a qualified dentist near her work - she went to my dentist originally but she was wooed by the slick radio ads to Dr. Ormsbys practice. When she received her estimate after the initial exam, there were thousands of dollars $$ worth of procedures recommended - in the 5-figure range total. The estimate amount was so high I thought my wife received someone elses paperwork. Not to mention the overpriced rates - compared to my dentist the same procedures are averaging 40%-50% higher, and many of the procedures are just not warranted. Local anesthesia for a typical procedure is included in my dentists fees, but they are an additional $800+ fee for Dr. Ormsby. Now comes the kicker - she had a root canal procedure done and Dr. Ormsbys office never scheduled the crown work - so my wife wore a temporary for nearly a year. And now, since she has seen the light and moved on to a real dentist who cares about their patients, she requires a second root canal on the same tooth! - which insurance will not pay for...Seems Dr. Ormsby is more interested in the quick high dollar treatments (radio ads, etc) than paying attention to the health of their patients. I would stay far far away....find a real dentist who cares!

I worked for this devil of a woman. To say she is money hungry is an understatement. Dont bother reading the 5 star reviews bc she asked me to look up companies to put those reviews on there because her online reputation is so bad!!! She frequently doesnt even COME IN FOR EXAMS. She has her hygienist do it! I was shocked when I started working there--- this is not legal! She is quite comparable to the devil. She has blocks" set up to do scheduling so only very large production cases can be scheduled inthe mornings. They had to be over $4000 to even get an appointment! If case was under $4k I was expected to schedule them out 8 weeks. Hmmmm, when you call for a crown, I could get you right in, but if you wanted to schedule your insert of your crowns, that you already paid for, you had to wait 8 weeks! The lab only takes 2 weeks. BUT SHE LIES TO HER PATIENTS. If you want to come be sedated, be prepared to pay the big bucks. Like, Eight Hundred Dollars big bucks, just for the pills. Otherwise, she will expect you to take out loans to fund her expenses. Money hungry devil here!!

I had not been to a dentist in more years than I care to admit. I had nothing but bad experiences with anyone that I had gone to in the past, including in my childhood. The last time I had gone for a cleaning it was not completed as I was in to much pain. As you can imagine I had several teeth that were in bad shape and becoming unbearable. My husband keep telling me I really needed to do something so I has not in pain. I challenged him with finding someone. He did some research and came up with Dr. Ormsby. I have never regretted it. The entire staff is caring, patience and professional. I never was made to feel like a lesser person for not having been to the dentist in so long. They explained all of my options and the costs and answered all of my questions. On my first visit to have a procedure done I was very nervous. They made sure I was comfortable and not in any pain. If a look on my face made them think I was uncomfortable they immediately stopped and make sure I has ok. I highly recommend East Shore Dental Care.

Having had a lot of dental work throughout my life in Chicago, California, and New York I knew when I started going to Dr. Janice Ormsby I found an exceptional dentist. I was first aware of how personable she is. Besides being able to explain technical scientific information in a compassionate and understandable way she is a good listener and thoroughly answers my questions. Along with routine dental care Dr. Ormsby went above and beyond, patiently treating my TMJ by correcting my bite. Her skills and desire to accomplish excellence has resulted in years of improved dental health. I also appreciate how clean her entire office always is, the fine equipment she uses, and the outstanding people she hires. I am impressed by Dr. Ormsbys continual desire to learn and improve her skills. I am thankful to the knowledgeable wife of a dentist who referred me to Dr. Ormsby many years ago.

The things I liked: 1. The staff was very nice. 2. The location and building were beautiful. 3. They can provide a lot of services that are hard to find in Ithaca. The things that I did not like: 1. They are always pushing you to buy products and services that you dont need. 2. They told me that I needed over $10,000 of dental work done (mostly crowns) and it turned out I did not need them once I had switched to a different dental office. Its very hard to trust them because it doesnt seem like they have your best interests at heart. 3. They try to convince you, in subtle ways, that there is something wrong with your smile, so that you will feel bad about yourself and then buy more services.

I am extremely impressed with the quality of service and care I have received from Dr. Ormsby and her staff over the past few years. They work very competently and efficiently, and they truly care about their patients. Since switching to Dr. Ormsby, I’ve realized that the quality of my previous dental care was poor. I had my aging and failing crowns replaced with new CEREC crowns that look and feel natural – a wonderful improvement over the bulky old ones. They were fabricated and placed the same day, which saved me time and hassle of additional appointments. I consider my dental work a wise investment for my long-term health and happiness.
