About

I graduated from West Virginia University Magna Cum Laude with a double major in Chemistry and Biology and a minor in History. After working 2 years as a chemist/production engineer I returned to The University of Pittsburgh to attend graduate school in the Department of Chemistry but had a change in heart and enrolled at the Pitt Dental School where I graduated with Honors (Omicron Kappa Upsilon). Later I completed a General Practice Residency at Allegheny General Hospital and, after passing my board exams, became a Fellow of the American Association of Hospital Dentists (now Special Care in Dentistry). I returned to the University of Pittsburgh to receive an executive MBA from the Katz School of Business with a focus on the emerging field of Biotechnology/Bone Tissue Engineering.. I now practice in McMurray, Pennsylvania and live in Upper St. Claire with my wife and daughter where we are active in our church, neighborhood, and community. I enjoy boating, fishing, biking, skiing, and anything outdoors! I have finished my first historical novel and am proofing for publication.

Staff is friendly and hygienist did an excellent job. Dr. took time to talk and discuss questions and needed procedures. Returning for more dental work.

I have been seeing Dr. Gurecka for three years and I’m now looking for a new dentist. Scheduling is a nightmare as they are rude and put you on hold and then tell you they only have openings eight weeks out. In my time there the dental hygienist was nice enough but then Dr Gurecka comes in at the end and spends about a minute or two with you and they are always trying to upsell you . I’m done.

Dr. Gurecka is one of the most arrogant dentists I have ever met. He does not give options to treatments plans- Literally was told if I dont like his treatment plan "go find another dentist, but I doubt you'll find one who will give a better plan" He doesn't take the time to develop patient- doctor relationship. He is disrespectful, shaming and judgmental. I would never recommend him to anyone. Angela (front desk) and the two hygienists we saw were nothing but caring and kind!

Dr Gurecka has been my denist for over 23 years. He goes out of his way to accommodate his patients. He has even met me in his office on a Sunday for a dental emergency. I All of my children have grown up with him and now their children are paitients. He even took care of a out of town relative who had dential issues while staying with us.

Nice demeanor but does not end your visit with a clear way to resolve your problem. Just bandaid fixes that resulted in my situation with a chronically infected tooth and significant bone loss. I ended up with multiple bone grafts from a skilled surgeon thanks to Gurecka's inability to fix the underlying problem. Also be careful with Natalia. Nice woman but not very skilled. Gurecka sometimes gives his assistants things to do that they shouldn't be handling.

Although the supporting staff is kind and friendly, Dr. Gurecka' communication skills are a big disappointment. He does not explain procedures fully, has an arrogant demeaner and has a hard time partnering with you, when extending care to your children. I would not recommend his office in any way.

Dr. Gurecka has been my dentist for over 9 years now and I am very happy with his professionalism and the quality of his work. Being Dr. Gurecka's patient has drastically improved my oral health and has addressed a lot of my dental issues. The office staff is also very friendly and professional.

Dr, Gurecka is super! He does excellent work. He and his staff are very professional, caring, and efficient. I went to him several years ago because my previous dentist would not do veneers, and I felt they would be helpful given my aging process. Dr, Gurecka did a beautiful job. I did break one, and it was replaced at a reduced rate under our contract. He makes me smile!
