Then they said they weren't' comfortable working w/patient w/Parkinson's. I found a new dentist and oral surgeon for him. A few months later I rec'd a call confirming an appt for him. I had to explain to them that THEY had told me months ago that they weren't comfortable working on him due to the Parkinson's tremors. The new dentist I found for him was so much more professional appearance, office decor and friendly, that I decided to use them as well. Smile a Bit, claimed they took my mom's insurance and worked on her in 2025. Suddenly, in 2026 they claimed they had no insurance documentation for her and that she must've dropped her insurance...she had not. I resubmitted it to them and when she went in for a cleaning (1st cleaning of the year) they said they had to charge her $75 and that all her work would have to be out of pocket. This didn't sound right because they claimed that they accepted Aetna Medicare. Called Aetna and they told me, that office and doctor was NOT "in Network". The doctors name I offered from that Highland Mills office is not the name that Aetna had on file, nor was a doctor by that name in that office. Therefore, I've just now moved my mom to our new dentist in Stoney Point as well. Aetna coverage for "IN NETWORK" dental is that they'll pay for the first $750. After that, it would be OOP. I was told by the SAB staff that their practice IS "in Network." That was wrong according to Aetna Medicare For this region. Bottom line: the administrative staff was very pleasant, but the business side of things and the office's physical appearance needs a lot of work.

I had high hopes for Dr. Scott Schwartz because he seemed very professional, kind, and personable…read more My husband recommended him and took me to his office after I broke a crown and developed pain in another tooth. After taking X-rays and examining my mouth, Dr. Schwartz found several other cavities. I appreciated the thorough examination. However, I explained very clearly that, due to my financial situation, I only wanted to address my two urgent problems: my broken crown and the tooth that was causing me pain. I planned to take care of the other issues later when I could afford them. Unfortunately, I felt that my wishes were not respected. The day I came in for my dental cleaning with Renata, who was absolutely wonderful and very kind, I wasn't sure whether I would feel well enough to begin dental treatment afterward. When I scheduled my cleaning, I had explained that I would decide that day depending on how I felt. However, I was told by the receptionist that if I didn't start treatment that same day, I would have to pay a significant portion of the fee again because my appointment couldn't be changed. I felt pressured into proceeding, even though I wasn't comfortable. The most upsetting part happened when Dr. Schwartz numbed a tooth that wasn't bothering me and prepared to begin treatment there instead of on the tooth that was actually causing me pain. I stopped him and asked, "Why are you working on this tooth? I specifically asked you to treat the painful tooth first." I had made my priorities very clear from the beginning, yet I felt they were ignored. Instead of listening to what I wanted and what I could afford, I felt the treatment plan was driven by what the office preferred rather than by my immediate needs. I left the office heartbroken, disappointed, and upset. My mouth was numb from the injection, and I could barely speak. More than anything, I felt unheard. Every patient deserves to have their concerns listened to and their treatment priorities respected, especially when financial limitations are clearly communicated. While I found the staff member Renata to be exceptional, my overall experience with Dr. Schwartz left me feeling that my wishes were not respected, and because of that, I cannot recommend him based on my personal experience.

So as you can imagine you will find all your dental needs at this office. We find that the doctors at this office do a really good job with cavities, teeth cleaning, etc. I've had another barbaric dentist from another town over leave me with a bad bite from a terrible cavity fill and this office was able to help me with correcting that. My family gets regular dental check-ups here and cleanings. The office is very large, clean, neat and even has it's own finance department to help you understand the costs that you will incur which I really like this way nothing is a surprise. They give you the option to decide if you can afford the services and/or arrange some kind of payment option. The only thing I don't like about the office is that the doctor's are always trying to up sell another service or recommending something that may not be of urgency. If they could they would probably keep us visiting them on a regular basis. Otherwise we really like this dental office and the doctors. A++

Recently moved to the area and got a coupon for a "comprehensive exam, Cleaning and X - Rays (as…read moreneeded)" for $75. When I called to schedule an appointment, I mentioned I didn't need the x-rays assuming that it wouldn't matter anyway ("as needed"). Was told that the coupon would not be honored and I would have to pay $95 for the cleaning. Oh. Okay...I schedule the appointment anyway. A day goes by. I think about it. Why would I have to pay more for doing less? I called back and explained that I didn't need the x-rays and that it didn't make sense to charge me more for doing less than what is listed on the coupon. The receptionist Lauretta insisted I would need to do the x-rays as part of the comprehensive exam. I explained again- no cavities ever, no need for X-rays. Don't want the radiation. She wouldn't budge- no x-rays no coupon...so I cancelled my appointment. Was genuinely surprised that they wouldn't want a new customer simply because I didn't want more radiation blasted at me unnecessarily. No cavities, no pain, no need. Disappointing interaction and if they're that sketchy about honoring the coupon, I wouldn't want to deal with them anyway. Go figure.
