Customer Reviews
I am so thrilled to be able to write this glowing 5-star review for Jill and Dr. Hariton. As someone who has always been extremely nervous about going to the dentist, I am thrilled with the exceptional care and service that I continue to receive from them.
Jill is simply amazing. She is gentle and kind, and always takes the time to listen to all of my concerns. She is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, and I always feel completely confident in her abilities.
Overall, I would highly recommend this dental practice to anyone who is nervous or anxious about going to the dentist. They truly go above and beyond to ensure that their patients are comfortable and well-cared for, and I can't thank them enough for making my experience such a positive one. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
my dental hygienist Sarah is absolutely phenomenal. she not only meets all my needs but makes me feel super comfortable and answers all my questions and concerns without making me feel like a burden, which is unfortunately how i felt with my previous dental office. you can truly see that she cares. i now don’t deal with anxiety when coming in for my dental appointments anymore
Staff is wonderful. After having the same dentist for 20 years, I was a bit hesitant to find another. I can actually say i wish I would have found this office sooner! Jill was the first person I met and immediately made me feel Comfortable. Dr. Hariton is wonderful and her assistant Becca created a relaxing atmosphere which confirmed my decision. If (like me) you're nervous about change. I can assure you that this is a change for the better....
This is the best place I have ever gone to get work/cleanings on my teeth. Everyone is polite, office is beautiful, and it is well located. Jill is a magician at her job and is so friendly. Always makes me feel comfortable and like we have been doing this for years together. She gives good direction which helps so I’m not guessing what she just said or if I’m doing something wrong also. I highly recommend this dental care facility and you won’t regret it.
The front desk, the dental hygienist, and the dentist all professional, caring and exceptionally honest. I highly recommend these great people to help you with your dental care. Thank you buffalo dental implants staff keep up the great work.
