Court Street Family Dentistry

Worst dentist ever! I still have sensitivity in the teeth he worked on and he always used to hurt me. My new dentist never hurts me and my teeth feel great, Im so glad I left there. His office is like a true torture chamber! I reported him! Dont go here. Men seem to have a better experience maybe he just hates women who knows. Why risk it? Im sure he will come back with a snarky reply trying to gaslight me and make me look crazy. Too late sir! I found an amazing dentist in Enfield CT and it just exposed even more how you have no idea what youre doing and should lose your license!

Dr .Zive is just a horrible dentist ! Rough , zero communication till it's time for him to get his money ( cha Ching ) , painful , condescending and inappropriate , nasty to his staff ,  can not believe this man is able to practice .

I would not give even one star, if I could only write a negative review. My husband and I spent YEARS paying off a ridiculous loan Dr. Zive forced on my husband. The work he did was not necessary, nor was it quality work. When my husband returned to have the poor work fixed, Dr. Zive promised it would be free, yet charged us AND the insurance company anyway! Not only is he a fraud, but he also has no bedside manner. His Assistant had to point out that my husband was nearly going to faint from pain during a procedure. My husband has now been seeing a reputable, wonderful Dentist that corrected all of the botched mess Dr. Zive left behind. A complete disgrace. It is a shame that he can get away with billing people for such horrible work.Dr. Zive is horrific and I am shocked that he is still practicing. Stay away!

I went in for routine dental work before I turned 21. I had gone to this location for some time for regular routine dental work such as cleanings and maybe one or two cavities. Dr. Mark Zive is the dentist who has always worked on my teeth and i made the mistake of asking him to do what he could with my teeth before my insurance quality dropped after turning 21 . I was in fostercare and was under the impression that insurance would be dropped after aging out of the system . Dr Zive has a fancy machine in his waiting room that creates crowns on demand and he loves to use it . I did not need crowns. I had one from a previous dentist and thats all i had needed. He injected me with numbing meds into my gums in multiple places and then ground down my three of my front teeth snd showed me what they looked like before he put the crowns on . He did not discuss his plan to do this before hand and at this point it was too late to go backwards. I was very traumatized by this. I had not returned to him for about 5 years and did not see other providers because of the mistrust created by him doing this work with out asking me first . I spoke to a dental assistant when i went in for a cleaning about five years later and I told her about my experience and fears and she reviewed my chart and told me my teeth looked fine and there was no reason they should have been ground down and had crowns installed as there was no damage to them . I truly believe he committed insurance fraud. My son was a patient of his and he was very short with my son and very annoyed with him instead of guiding him thru the process and comforting him. I have not tried to sue or anything like that. Im not trying to make money or anything off of him but i am very upset this happened and i can never go backwards.
