I just had my first visit at Goldstein Dental, who was recommended by a friend. If you are looking for a dentist, this practice has my highest recommendation. I talked with scheduling/office staff numerous to get paperwork and insurance settled. They are extremely efficient. The hygienist was wonderful, and the dentist was very thorough, explained things, and answered questions. Very efficient and professional office!

I was a little nervous getting a different dental hygienist for my cleaning today. Immediately he made me feel like I’ve been going to him forever. What a thorough cleaning he gave! The whole staff is kind and ready to answer any questions I might have. I highly recommend Goldstein Dental!🦷

I was terrified of the dentist after a bad experience at a different place. Switched here after many recommendations - so happy I did. I loved my dental hygienist and dentist!

Told me I needed 11 crowns my 1st visit. They did 3, weren't put on correct. All crooked .had them remove and put back on. Never went back . That was over 10 years ago and I have still not needed 11 nor another crown since going to my new dentist. Scammers... just to pay for their new crown making machine. . BEWARE!!! Would never recommend. 0 stars if I could

Do not let Dr Goldstein give you implants! Go to an oral surgeon! His assessment for an entire upper/lower implant procedure minimized the risks of the actual state of my oral health, including advanced gum disease. Instead of properly referring me to an oral surgeon, he chose to take advantage of the considerable actual money he was directly paid rather than insurance. I am still dealing with the results of a complete failure of the upper implants, as well their quick fix replacement dentures (charging 500.00 to repair a hairline crack "only they could fix" bc of materials involved) now impacting the lower implants (maybe 4 years old now and all i could salvage) with uneven impact due to the shoddy denture work on top. There was little to no adequate aftercare, despite being included in the financial agreement. I didn't know what I didn't know, and I found out too late. If he had only been honest in his initial appraisal, and referred me to an oral surgeon, I would have had a chance at a better experience. His unprofessional and unethical choice to go ahead with such extensive dental work was based on greed by way of medical misinformation. This was a lesson learned the hardest way I could. Please get a second opinion!
