I Have had a phobia to dentist since i was about 10 years old. My Dad would always tell me to go to his dentist that he is great about every step he take in handling a patent. Yet i never went. I had to end up going about 2yrs ago because i chipped a tooth. I went to the office and Everyone was so please and helpful. From the minute i meet Feder, he was pleasant and spoke to me in complete honesty and walked me thru everything. My biggest fear about going to the dentist is of course the Needle but He applied the needle so gentle i only felt a small pinch. He took care of my whole mouth and till this day I'm happy i decided to go and see him. He is now mine and my Husband's dentist. I highly recommend Mr. Lawrence Feder, I happy with the work,prices and customer service.

He is so wonderful he listens to what you say. He makes sure you feel comfortable and secure before he starts. He also tells it like it is and what exactly you need. He helps find the best possible way u can get what u need. I'm so glad I took the chance to go to a dentist right in my community. Dr. L. Feder was my superman!

Wow. I have never had such gentle, understanding yet rigorous service from a dentist. Dr. Feder ROCKS! I'm a needle phobic person and when I explained that to him, he injected me - completely painlessly I might add, something I've never experience before but was revelation - a tiny amount, just enough to numb my gums, for the rest of the injection which he did a bit later, & which I didn't feel at all! Then he excavated the broken tooth of its decay, and filled the hole. It was my first time at a dentist with no pain, panic...and it was CHEAP!!! Literally, what is not to like? I'm going to go back to him for the rest of my dental work for sure, and you should go see him, especially if like me you find it all traumatic. Mat Fraser

My appointment was for 12:30. I was not seen for my cleaning until 2:50. The cleaning was complete at 3:07. Dr. Feder gets the 1 star because I was not his patient. I was being seen for the first time and he filled in for his partner. He was abrupt when he came in directing me to put away my phone. I am a few years shy of 40. I know how to govern myself at a pracrioners office. There was no apology or explanation for the delay. He rushed through the service and left the room. His bedside manner literally left a bad taste in my mouth. The other members of the staff were friendly. I would not recommend him.
