Customer Reviews
I rarely post online reviews but felt obligated to after coming across Dr Schlesinger's one other google review. He is by far the best dentist I have ever been to and I have proudly been going to him for almost a decade. He has a very soft touch, is very transparent, timely, and makes visiting the dentist as easy as it can be. In regards to pricing, I've never had an issue and he was kind enough to allow me to pay in installments when my insurance didn't cover the amount of work I needed. I suspect the other review might be from a competitor or someone who might be unstable.
Dr. Schlesinger is a great dentist and my favorite doctor in the city. I have been a patient of his for many years and I won't go anywhere else. He is a true professional and I enjoy visiting his office for routine cleanings and check ups. I never have to wait long to be seen and his staff is friendly and accommodating. Dr. Schlesinger has a steady hand and always makes me feel at ease when I have to have any sort of work done. I'm afraid of needles and someone is always there to hold my hand during the procedure. He does a great job and looks out for my best interest in all situations. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a top notch dentist.
I am. a long time patient and I have always received the best quality care here. Dr Schlessinger is very competent and has excellent people skills. The rest of the staff is also competent and considerate. I highly recommend this dental office and I am very grateful for all the work they have done for me across the years.
Dr Schlesinger is the best dentist in town. So much so, that even though we moved to NJ, my husband and I take the 1 hour train ride in every 6 months for our appointments. Dr Schlesinger takes the time to explain everything going on. He meticulously performs the cleanings himself with an assistant. My teeth always feel so clean after, making the long trip in well worth it. Thank you Dr Schlesinger!
Dr. Schlesinger is one of the best dentists that I met.
I went there for a dental emergency with an extremely painful tooth that he treated right away. He took his time to explain me about my condition. His assistant was understanding and courteous. She put me at ease too.
He is laid back, does his work meticulously, gently and perfectly. He is great to make his patients feel they are special. Takes his time with educating the patient. His staff is friendly and professional. In his state of the art office I feel like in a spa. I feel relaxed and confident that I got an excellent care with each visit. His multiple certificates, licenses and awards also speak a lot about his dedication and excellence in dental profession.
I am lucky that I met Dr. Schlesinger. I continue to see him regularly with my other dental problems too. I learned new things about dental hygiene and my teeth since starting to visit his office.
I am sure I will continue to visit Dr. Schlesinger as my regular dentist as long as I am in NY. I highly recommend Dr. Schlesinger.
