He is the absolute best. I went to see him 20 years ago and he saved my tooth that 3 other “specialists” said needs a root canal. He just did a filling and my tooth never hurt again after 2 years of horrible suffering. Dr Bloom graduated from Columbia dental school at the top of his class if that matters. He is the most amazing dental professional I have ever met. I’d fly from Australia to see him. Fortunately I’m just in the neighboring state.

After several unsuccessful attempts with local dentists to get dentures for my mother, we found Dr Bloom. Immediately, I could tell his approach was professional, thorough and with great knowledge and skill. After 2 years of pain and difficulty eating, my mother was able to have a well fitting denture and is pain free. We are eternally grateful for his help and strongly recommend him for all dental needs.

Dr. Bloom is a lovely guy and terrific dentist. He is very caring and friendly. I moved four years ago but still go back to see him. He tries to avoid doing X-rays if he can, because he cares about his patients' overall health, unlike dentists who gladly take pictures for which they get paid. Downsides? The office is still uncomputerized(!), which is charming in a way but also absurdly outdated. Also, the good doctor's friendly chatting with patients doesn't always work if you're in a rush. But overall, he's excellent, professional, and friendly. Absolutely recommend, and strongly so.
