Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and donโ€™t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Competent Doctor, Atrocious Staff
My insurance company sent a written request for records to the doctor's office. The staff refused to comply. I called the office, and they were unbelievably rude, and even implied that I was lying (about the name of the person I had spoken to at the insurance company)! They interrupted me repeatedly when I tried to ask questions, and ultimately flat-out refused to release my records -- even to me, despite being legally obligated to do so. I have filed a complaint with the state medical licensing board.If you want a huge hassle, enjoy being treated with extreme rudeness, and love paying out of pocket for treatment even though you have insurance, this is the place. Otherwise, look elsewhere - there are plenty of competent oral surgeons in the area.

Dr. Greenberg and staff were very thorough and corrected the pain I was having as quickly as possible. They explained everything thoroughly ranging from the procedure to insurance and payment. Very good experience and would highly recommend for any tooth extraction or oral surgery.

My experience was great. it was a pleasure being treated at this dental office today by Dr Greenberg and his assistant (s). He was exceptional, professional, caring, kind and eventhough it was an extraction i didnt feel a thing and joked with the assistant asking does the dentist also take his patient and staff to lunch. She went on to say, dinner too. it was a really great experience, considering it was a job that had to b done..

Dental appointments are my l;east favorite activity, most especially for something major such a the surgical removal of a broken crown and an implant of a post into the bone. That was the purpose of my first visit to Dr. Greenberg on the recommendation of my general practice dentist. I could not have been more satisfied with the entire experience and Dr. Greenberg. The procedure, while unavoidably uncomfortable, was virtually pain free; the staff is terrific.

I trusted Dr Greenberg with my jaw surgery because of his obvious expertise and incredible credentials and that was after consulting with over 10 other top rated surgeons...since then Dr Greenberg has saved my teeth as well as worked on other issues I've had, on numerous occasions unrelated to post op care. He's always willing to accommodate a patient in need and consults on diagnosis and treatment in a way that's reassuring and informative, making you feel cared for and ...
