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 don’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.

Horrible
Bad dentist, took forever to get dentures, could not wear finished product.

I made an appt with an ‘In Network’ periodontist who recommended a procedure (a deep cleaning) for which I later found I’m covered 50%. Rather than them filing a claim, then billing me, they demand hundreds upfront yet said if monies are owed, it will be determined through my insurance company. Once I pay, they make an Out of Network DDS do the procedure. They file 2 claims, both In and Out of Network, asking for 10 times more than what I was covered. I explaining the error but did nothing to resolve the issue. Insurance company overturned the Out of Network claim and awarded us both monies, payment sent to them. They tell the insurance company they agree to remit my monies once they cash check. They cash the check and refuse to pay me. Please make sure you check your insurance benefits and your statements from insurance claims so that you don’t get ripped off.

Dr H is first rate! He was able to successfully evaluate my conditions and his hygienist gave me the most thorough cleaning of my life. She hit every nook and cranny and of course put the cherry on the pudding with the fluoride treatment. I was treated very polite, warm and friendly by everyone there. This might be the best dentist I’ve ever been to. He also cares about veterans and makes sure we are taken care of.

I had tooth pain in the upper right corner of my mouth. I was told I needed a root canal but rather than waiting the 2 weeks for the next available root canal appointment Dr. Herskovits had me in that week to put a temporary filling in to relieve my pain. He was very gentle when dealing with my pain and I had a completly painless experience in his chair. I would highly recommend a visit

From the time i entered the door, until my final visit , Dr. H and his staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. I've avoided the dentist for way to long which lead to some dental issues that needed to be addressed, The team here helped ease my fear, and explained the procedures every step of the way. After it was all said and done , i not only left with a healthier mouth, but a new found view of "going to the dentist". Thank you and much appreciated "ARMY STRONG" :)
