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.

Horrible, dishonest and cruel dentist. Stay away.
I am surprised Dr Lerner is still in business. I saw him years ago when he told me my mouth was filled with cavities. After he drilled thru numerous teeth at the same time, packed them and left the biggest fillings I have ever had in my teeth I went to a dentist in Hadley. He could not verify that I had cavities in the other teeth that Dr Lerner was planning to fill.. Why? When I tried to get my records from Dr Lerner they wanted to charge me $35 for making copies. So years later the fillings that this hack of a dentist filled stand out like a trough and I have had to get a cap on one tooth and will eventually need more caps due to all the hairline cracks in those teeth because the fillings were sooo large. Why are all my other fillings tiny points that were filled and his fillings is a trough? I believe he intended to trash more of my teeth for no good reason. He also enjoys asking questions when he knows you can't answer cause you are filled with dental equip. He is evil.

Dr Howard Lerner is the worse dentist I have ever been to in more ways than one. Not only was he rude, he got pleasure asking questions when he knows you cant answer, with a smirk on his face. His behavior was disturbing. I allowed him to fill cavities for me twice and these filling are 10 times bigger than any other fillings I have ever had. He filled multiple teeth by driiling drilling a trough and packing it with silver. The teeth he touched have been sensitive for years and now those 4 teeth he touched need caps. He should have been reported because I never was shown the xrays and I have always wondered whether I actually had cavities. I asked for my records and they wanted $30 to make copies. I went to another dentist who told me none of my other teeth had anymore cavities. If I had continued going back to Lerner, I would have 4 more teeth drilled and packed with silver by him. I hope he no longer is in business. Don't see him if he is!!!!
