I went to Harriman Family Dental for a routine wellness visit. My visit began with a quick visual…read moreexamination followed by x-rays. And that's when it took a path different from any other dental exam I've ever had. The x-rays were shown on a screen so that I could see them. Clearly visible was a large cyst at the base of my jawline, below my teeth. I'd experienced pain in that spot for two years but never understood why. I never mentioned it to the dentist because I didn't think it had anything to do with my teeth. The cyst was in fact an infection that developed after I'd had a crown improperly fitted to the tooth above it. Dr. Radwan removed the cyst and the tooth and put in an implant. The implant looks and feels perfect. And gone is the throbbing pain of that awful cyst. In addition to excellent dental work, I promise the service you will receive from all members of staff will be courteous, kjnd, professional - top notch in every way. This is the best dentist practice I have ever been to. I highly recommend it!

Update: I have to update my review. I went in for fillings and was handled with an older dentist…read more In total, I probably went back and forth about 4-6 more times. This was due to him not being able to locate the cause of pain, as he claimed he had filled all cavities and that it can take up to "two weeks for the nerves to not be sensitive" post-filling. Eventually, he said I might need a root canal. Well, after wasting an incredible amount of time and gas I ended up finding another dentist. They located the hole in my filling and filled it, as well as the other cavities. They told me that was the source of pain and that I definitely didn't need a root canal. I don't have the issue anymore, it was fixed in one visit with another dentist. I was also told I had periodontitis and would require deep cleanings every 3 months. This was also false, as confirmed by other dentists I saw shortly after. My teeth are actually in great shape. When I called them to get my records, they tried to tell me they couldn't "release" them to me. I ended up getting them anyway. Horrible team and staff. They're CON ARTISTS.

Tried calling again before I left work at 5 PM, no answer. Tried calling again at 6:15 PM, no answer. Extremely unprofessional, and a huge red flag to NOT USE this dentist. Thank you!

This is our family dentist. It's a large office with several dentists, dental hygienists and other…read moredental professionals. 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.

I've been going to Dr. Chris since maybe 2007 or so and have always had a good experience. In the…read morepast they sometimes hired other dentists who weren't as good, but has mostly been Dr. Chris (and on rare occassion his dad who still chips in now and then) for the past decade. Some of the lower reviews are about front of the office staff, which I vaguely recall being a bit gruff, 10+ years ago but everyone the past few years have been lovely. I have had two root canals (hey I'm 40 such is life) and one was done excellently by Dr. Chris during 2020 in COVID. He did a great job relieving the pain I had been in for a few months. Anyway, highly recommend this practice 10 out of 10 for the last decade or so.

There was a time when I didn't have dental insurance and needed a crown replaced--Dr. Chris went above and beyond to help me, offering a fair and reasonable solution without compromising quality. His kindness, honesty, and steady professionalism truly set him apart. As someone who gets a little anxious in the dental chair, I can honestly say Dr. Chris has earned my full trust. He's gentle, patient, and takes the time to explain everything in a way that puts you at ease. I've recommended this office to friends and family, and I'll continue to do so for years to come. It's rare to find a dentist who's not only skilled but genuinely cares--this office checks every box!

I'm happy to share that I have found that very dentist. I take good care of my teeth and typically go in for routine cleanings every six months and rarely have cavities. But when I do have the occasional problems that pop up every 3 or 4 years, they are significant and costly. Normally I get ahead of things before they become an issue but with my big move and a pretty intense past 10 months or so, I had gone an entire year without a cleaning or exam. And then an old crown popped off when I was flossing, reminding me that I better get my ass to the dentist. I searched for a dentist on Yelp and was finding that barely any are reviewed around these parts! And then I found Mel Mel Dental with what appeared to be a very sincere 5 star review, so I took a chance. In all my years of going to dentists, I find my experience here to be the best of all. I rarely if ever, have to wait. There's a family-like atmosphere amongst the staff that makes one feel immediately comfortable. If you look at their website, they give a bio on everyone from reception to hygienists to Dr. Suditu himself. So cool! I actually look forward to seeing the staff and Theresa, the dental assistant, is particularly great to talk to. She makes you feel immediately comfortable as if you're about to share a bottle of wine rather than get dental work done. Finally, a note on painless dentistry. Dr. Suditu is particularly careful to explain exactly what is going on from anesthesia (he expertly administers the shot so that you barely feel it) to the procedure itself. Similarly, he explains your options and takes insurance coverage into consideration. These are all the things that can cause stress in a patient. Now, if only I can find a doctor that I like even half as much...
