She is the best and nicest dentist I ever had. Her expertise in cosmetic dentistry is outstanding. She does not overbook her patients and keeps to her appointment schedule. Her staff and office environment is very friendly and pleasant.

Dr. Kaplan is an endodontist with many years of experience in the field. Despite his busy day, he disrupted his schedule to treat my emergency root canal infection. He is friendly, humorous, calm, and mindful of making me feel comfortable and pain-free. He works with great assurance and patience. My visits to his office were very positive experiences.

Had a 10:00 AM appointment and made the mistake of arriving 15 minutes early (first time there so I knew there would be history to write). Was told the office wasn't open yet and was made to stand in the hall outside the door for 20 minutes -- this with extremely painful arthritis in my hips, knowing the whole time that there was an empty waiting room on the other side of the door, and forms to be filled out. When they finally let me, and the others who arrived early in, I cancelled on the spot. Such a lack of understanding of the patient experience, and the inhospitable discourtesy to deny patients access to comfortable seating (there are none in the cramped hallway outside the door) bespeaks an utter lack of empathy which for me rules this oral surgeon out.

Dr. Altszuler is a gentle and extreme competent dentist. She is patient with someone like me who is terrified of the dentist. She treats me patiently and kindly while working on my teeth. I am happy to say that I have a dentist that I want to visit twice a year or whenever the need arises. She also have a great staff who are as nice as she is.

I'm a physician, so I know that finding a good dentist is very very important. Robin is the most talented dentist I've had in decades. She's smart, fast, and clear. She's not a big schmoozer--if that's what you want to pay for,--but she's plenty pleasant and pleasantly direct. She replaced a crown for me and got it in one take. I've got a strange bite so it's usually hours of grinding to get a so-so fit. I was amazed! It's the best fit I've ever had. Sincerely, G.H.Beachum, MD

"UPDATE FOR DR. GAUKHMAN'S FAKE RESPONSE TO THE B.B.B." As Telling them that I am happy with the failed shoddy work that his assistant Vanessa did. Stating to the BBB that I am using the failed $27,000.00 rip off that they gave me, I gave a stated letter from the dentist that completed my work ,stating that the grossly failed work is in his safe keeping, at the new dentist office, but Dr. Gaukhman refused to accept it back and-to give me any of the money back, and knows it is in the possession of my new dentist,his assistant Vanessa planned the whole two failed units from 2 different labs, and did my 11 treatments totally by herself, as a unlicensed, untrained,unprofessional assistant hence the two failed attempts with 2 different labs and all planned so unprofessionally.

Very sad experience. Dr. Sullivan performed a root canal on my number 13 molar. The root canals of this tooth are very narrow and extended. I warned the Dr. that I had a traumatic experience with elongated tooth roots which for teeth being extracted both as an adolescent and as a young serviceman in the Navy. Both of those times the dentists had a rough time with the teeth. The procedures lasted over 4 hours for the tooth when I was a child, and two visits over 3 hours each when I was in the Navy. Dr. Sullivan assured me that he was capable, and that his skill was superior. I believed him. After his first attempt at root canals on this tooth, Dr. Sullivan sent me home telling me that there wasn’t enough time that day to finish the procedure. Mind you I’m under the influence of sedation at this time. I told Dr. Sullivan that I would rather have the tooth pulled than go through another 3 hours in the chair. Amazingly I believed him again when he told me the reason he couldn’t finish was because of scheduling. He also said that he wanted to prove to his dental assistants he could finish the job! Being as high as I was on the anesthesia I made the poor judgement call to return. Two days went by with excruciating pain in my upper jaw. I was having to take Tylenol and Advil to relieve the discomfort. I went back to Sullivan’s office, asked AGAIN if it would be better to just extract the tooth, and he said it was his opinion he could save it, and this time he could finish the job and apply the cap. So I strapped on his gas mask and knocked myself stupid only to have the “Doctor” root around, stretch my jaw and break off half of what was left of the tooth. When I came to I distinctly remembered the snap, the dental assistant saying “Oh God!”, and the good Dr. scurrying away into another operatory. What was I told this time? Of course that I’d have to come back since it was the tooth’s fault it was so damaged that it cracked, and now he had to make a new cap with his machine. Stoned on the good Dr.’s laughing gas I told him “that’s okay, mistakes happen”. What an idiot I was. The laughing gas wore off and the Tylenol Advil routine lasted a week. I went back to Beacon Dental Center, this time for the last time, to finally get the remnants of my tooth capped. This time he squirted the glue in to fill the root canals, fixed the cap on the tooth, and away I went. Fast forward 5 years and I’m in the chair of a very competent dentist. The dentist asks if I’m in any pain and I mention the constant pain I’ve had on my left sinus area. I’ve felt this pain for three years. I’m shown the current X-ray of the area and the Dentist tells me that it’s not normal. The capped tooth is great work (machine made, remember) but there is stuff in the canals of Number 13 tooth that extend into the sinus. After visits to an Ear Nose Throat MD, Oral Surgeon and Endodontist specialists, I’m scheduled to have an operation to remove the so-called saved tooth, and resultant fistula created by the extensive overfilling of the Number 13 root canals with guttapurcha, the latex based root canal filling material. Predictably I could sue and win to recover the costs of these procedures, but the good Doctor has closed his practice, and is now enrolled in a school in Detroit. The lawyer I consulted doesn’t see that my case is strong enough to show the pain I’ve been living through since I trusted Dr. Sullivan. Of course there are risks to root canals. I accepted the possibility of a dry socket, and possible infection, but was re-assured by Sullivan that he’s done thousands of these procedures with no bad outcomes. General dentists can perform root canal procedures along with other dental procedures, but often they refer patients needing endodontic treatment to a specialized practice, who works in collaboration with your dentist. An endodontist is a dentist who specializes in saving teeth. Dr. Sullivan should have not touched that tooth after I warned him of the history of my other root issues, and certainly after he saw the roots narrowness and length.

Beware of Dr. Howard M Chasolen's Dental practice in Sarasota Fl. I went to him two years ago to have an upper dental screw in bridge unit made to connect to the wonderful implants and bone graft work that was done by Dr. Craig M Mish and his superb faculty of Sarasota fl. However, Dr Chasolen dramatically failed to the task of making what he had agreed to make and his promise that he could do it for the sum of $38,190.00 that was paid long before the work was ever sent out to a California discount dental lab. The lab failed to perform on over 10 attempts to make the unit functional and aesthetically appealing, as it was sent back and forth Approx. 15 times, 10 for the same corrections and 5 reg. times for the preliminary work. Dr. Chasolen and I agreed to do an entire new dental plan of a less costly glue in unit but for the same cost of the screw in unit, with a new local lab in Sarasota FL. I agreed to this to get the long and tedious nightmare over with, as I traveled 2500 miles and over 25 visits to Dr. Chasolen's office. But again, the so called new dental plan never took place as discussed on 3-14-18. Nor did I get a call back for an emergency call that I placed to Dr. Chasolen for the temp. unit that was falling out while talking and eating, and after over three days of waiting for a call back, I then had no choice but to go to a new dentist and paid a new fee of $27,000.00 for a new dental plan and a glue in unit ($11,000.00 cheaper than Dr. Chasolen's price. No charges were made to Dr. Chasolen for the failed unit that was cancelled and sent back to the California lab, but Dr. Chasolen thought it would be fair for him to keep all the money that I paid him, and he offered me a mere $7,500.00 refund from my $38,190.00 that I already gave to him plus my new expense of $27,000.00 so my total cost is now $65,5190.00. When I went to Dr. Chasolen for my dental plan I recently had a $7,000.00 new implant that was chipped by him while trying to remove the temp. bridge and also for the issue that the lab could not match it, so Dr Chasolen charged me $3,000.00 to remove the chipped crown. Now the new dentist charged me $2,200.00 to add that back into the new unit, I also paid $550.00 twice for a guide that was lost in Dr. Chasolen's possession

Just moved back to PA and researched carefully. Chose Dr. West at Garden Spot Dental. Could not be happier. First visit and cleaning in May. Lost part of tooth and big filling over weekend. They took me first thing Monday and actually got me out in 2 1/2 hours with a perfect fitting new crown fashioned by a machine right in office. Sweet. Love modern dentistry. Excellent support staff and high-end dental assistants. I made the right choice.

Dr. Lo and the hygienists are excellent, however we will be finding a new dentist after many years. Each time I have been to the office, over the years, I have waited 7-10 minutes without exception. I had not ever complained about this wait, as we knew that we would be having a high quality experience. We had a family emergency and were running approximately 10 minutes late on March 4th. I called to tell the office. I was told that I would have to reschedule if I would be any more than ten minutes AND the next appointment would be available in September!!! I asked the office clerk to have the dentist call me and she refused. I told her to them tell Dr. Lo that she has now lost two patients, as my daughter and I were both to see her today. She seemed unconcerned. I did not want to kill myself and race to get there, just to be turned away if we were to be 11 minutes late!!! What a shame, as we loved Dr. Lo. If you are reading this, and know Dr. Lo, please ask her to read this. There is NO other way to forward a complaint to her and I feel that she should know. I would imagine that we are not the only patients who might have run late and were offered a rescheduled appointment in 6 months. This is unacceptable! Things come up and are unavoidable, at times. It is a shame that her office always keeps us waiting, but could not offer the same courtesy to us, in a family emergency OR AT LEAST offer a reasonable time to reschedule. We will no longer be going there.
