Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Came to Dr. Silverstein for a cleaning and check-up. Appointment process was very easy and there was no wait when I arrived. Kim, the dental hygenist, is very friendly and very patient when performing the cleaning. I have not been to the dentist in a while and I expected it to be painful but it wasn't at all! Dr. Silverstein took his time listening to my concerns and explaining what he was doing. All in all, it was a great experience - easy, efficient, and effective.

Dr. Silverstein has been my family dentist for a number of years...We find him to be extremely capable and conscientious. He always places patient care and comfort above all! He never rushes through any examination or procedure and is willing to discuss/explain any issues that arise. Kim, the hygienist is outstanding.....no more fears of going to the dentist !

Was the best dentist that I have been to, didn't have to wait in the waiting room for more than 10 minutes the assistant was very nice and understanding since I was nervous. Once the doctor came into the room he explained everything he was going to do and made me feel comfortable.

I just retired and my permanent upper bridge had fallen out once again!-Dr. Silverstein is the Best and I've been to nearly 20 Dentists in my 67 years. He is a totally no-nonsense Professional,who explains procedures and his confidence helped me to relax,even with the extraction of 5 broken roots of teeth. I can't say enough about how happy I am to have found Dr. Silverstein. He also offers brochures about the Care One afforable,noninterest payments plan.

Excellent , have been coming for years even though we move I make visits to the office. Staff is always friendly as well as the Dr. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. Also gentle as well when I had my root canal done. Highly recommended.

Gentle, painless and thorough cleanings and exams. Issues from our last visit six months ago were followed up on and our five year old said she had fun! Overall couldn't have asked for a better dental experience!
