Dr Mackler has recently died. His associate, Dr. Scolar, who referred to me as "Lady" as posted in…read morea recent review, advocated that I have my only remaining lower molar, pulled. This is after she put a crown in a few months back, over a cavity. Dr. Mackler once commented to me that she moves very fast. She moves so fast that she advocated me going to a place she said she uses, to remove a tooth which was not loose and was not bothering me and maybe could be saved. I found a five star dentist who specializes in challenging crown situations and yesterday, he performed a successful surgery to remove the cavity and seal up the crown. He said when he got in there, that the cavity wasn't that bad and the situation wasn't all that dismal. Dr. Scolar had told me that if I didn't pull the tooth out that because of the cavity, I might die of an abcess. I feel that her emphasis on moving fast without empathy or connection to the patient is not at all helpful and I am now changing dentists to the dentist I found her expressed both understanding and compassion.

The staff is WONDERFUL, inviting and very knowledgeable. I came in with a time crunch to make a orthodontal correction before my wedding and they are making it happen. I can't say enough wonderful things about how much I've loved my experience here. If you're considering orthodontics and haven't looked into this office, please check them out.

Dr. Cordes passes himself off as an experienced orthodontist who cares about children. His website…read moreshowcases the fact that he is a part-time faculty at the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine in addition to being an Orthodontist. (Remember the old adage, those who can do, and those who can't teach). His website also states "While at The University of Connecticut, Dr. Cordes received numerous research grants and awards in the field of healthcare economics." That's right, research on the money involved in Orthodontics. Why would a doctor blatantly showcase that he is out for money instead of out to help his patients. That's a bit chilling to think about. This search for profit over caring for patients is also shown in the number of offices he has, three. Yes, Dr. Cordes has three offices (Westfield, MA, Enfield, CT and Suffield, CT.), and only one Doctor, himself. While many Doctors do hold two offices, I feel three is pushing it in terms of good care for patients. This large number of offices fits his profile of looking for profit. Doctors for the most part work hard to earn their degree, and then work hard to maintain a good practice, but in Dr. Cordes case, he is a man solely out for profit above all else. When it comes to Orthodontic treatment, Dr. Cordes seems like a fish out of the water. At the end of treatment, there was still spaces between teeth, still a bite that was not even close to perfect. Some of his staff changed hands a few times during the time going to him, so I wonder why the turnover in that area as well? While he is nice, pleasant, and outgoing, his technical skills in treating orthodontic issues are very lacking. I came across another former patient (whom I attended school with) who was also less than satisfied and not at all thrilled with her results from Dr. Cordes. What a pattern. Do you really want someone who puts profit above his patients well being? Take a look at Dr. Cordes's record before you choose him for treatment, both his academic record and his professional record show a man out for profit, rather than a Doctor trying to make a difference. My recommendation is to find someone else who is more qualified to provide quality orthodontic treatment, because you won't find that with Dr. Cordes. You will find three offices you can go to, and a desk that is always happy to take your money.

All of the staff are courteous and kind, but I want to give a special acknowledgment to Dr. Park.

She was great about checking how I was doing, as well as explaining all the steps as she was performing them, relieving any anxious worries I had. I truly appreciate her professionalism and the comfort provided during my visit. I don't plan to see any other dentist in the future! (Fingers crossed I will not need any more dental work)

They always try and make me feel comfortable and like I actually matter. It has almost become like going to see an old friend. Of course my friends don't stick their hands in my mouth and cause mild unpleasant pain. But close enough. If your looking for a new family dentist and live in the area give them a shot.

Dr. Perry is one of the most compassionate doctors in this field. She will explain everything to you and walk you through every step. I can't promise if you don't like needles that you will love this office. It's an unfortunate circumstance of the procedure. The staff is all very balanced and coordinated. I caught myself saying wow several times when the doctor and her assistant Sarah were going constantly back-and-forth with the different tools needed and very little discussion was necessary. In the end, it didn't look so good for my tooth, and she gave me some very real options to discuss with my dentist after she sends some great 3-D imaging to him with a detailed letter. She explained that we could do the procedure and it might last a year, or I might choose to have an extraction. She values her work, and she would expect that any work she does would last him a long time if it is to be done properly. My last procedure done in 2001 has given me no problems at all. I always have the option of going back and finishing my procedure if I choose, and I would not have to pay the full fee. This is an example of an A+ office.
