Being new up here and with different benefits than I had back in my homestate, I don't know what the typical dental rates and practices are up here in Jersey. I got the feeling that she was doing her best to give the lowest possible rate for what I needed done, and didn't sacrifice quality. Very elegant and clean office.

It's with some regret that, after nearly ten years of being a patient, my family and I will be…read moremoving our care to a new dental practice. Unfortunately, we've recently experienced a few issues that have caused us to lose confidence. The first was a medical concern: a shard of titanium was left inside my son's tooth after a procedure. We were told this happens, but it was not removed, which is concerning to us. The second was a financial policy issue: my husband's recent appointment was canceled because he was only informed of his full out-of-pocket cost on the day of service, rather than in advance. When he was unable to pay the full amount that day, he had to cancel, and he was later refused service entirely. We feel these incidents reflect a concerning lack of attention to both patient care and communication. This focus on financial policies over the well-being of long-term patients has been a major turnoff for us. As a result, we will be transferring the dental records for our family of four to a new provider.

I would've gave them 4 1/2 stars But don't have that option, we'll see how the next few visits go and will update the rating later as needed. I would recommend this office for other people and families.

Finding a good dentist is as challenging and important as finding a good hairdresser. It takes…read moretime, research, and many times word of mouth (in this case, a clean mouth. Ba dum tshh). I found Dr. Deschenes through the Horizon directory and some positive online reviews, and I'm so glad I've found a great dentist! I'm not afraid of going to the dentist, but I have a very low tolerance for pain (friends know not to high-five me because I get hurt that easily ) so I was prepared for the usual pain I've had for routine cleanings. Dr. Deschenes is the first dentist where I've felt very little discomfort during any routine cleaning! He's so friendly, calm, and asks how you've been but doesn't chat up a storm while your mouth is wide open to make you feel pressured to keep up small talk. I feel bad that the first review had an unsatisfactory experience, but, really, who cares what the office wallpaper looks like if you're just trying to get your teeth cleaned!? Also, wait time is never long, and the place is easy to find. They accept patients of all ages & most major insurance providers.

The assistant who took my X-rays was also friendly and professional. That first impression is exactly why I originally felt comfortable moving forward with treatment. Unfortunately, the longer I remained a patient, the more that confidence disappeared. What followed was months of delays, poor communication, treatment confusion, insurance frustration, and me repeatedly having to chase the office for information about my own care. My dental issues included: Tooth #30: I had a root canal on May 11 and a post/core on June 19, yet I still spent weeks waiting for clear information about the permanent crown. Tooth #18: This was one of the original reasons I sought treatment, yet it remained unresolved for months and the temporary crown repeatedly came off. Tooth #31: My insurance approved retreatment and a crown, but the treatment was never completed while I was under their care. Tooth #19: I was told I needed a root canal and a new crown, but after seeking care elsewhere I learned neither was necessary. What actually needed attention was a large cavity that had been left untreated. I also had several older fillings that needed repair or replacement, and those were never addressed either. The administrative side was equally frustrating. I spent weeks trying to obtain proper documentation for insurance appeals and deadlines. I repeatedly requested records and supporting information, but getting what I needed became an ordeal. I also want to correct my original impression of Vanessa at the front desk. I initially thought she was kind and helpful. Over time, that was not my experience. I understand the office was under significant stress and that the office manager had apparently quit suddenly, so I tried to be patient and understanding. However, I repeatedly experienced a lack of empathy, dismissive communication, and difficulty with basic administrative and computer-related tasks that directly affected my care. There were too many moments where I felt like I was managing my own case: explaining things multiple times, checking insurance information, following up on treatment, asking about records, and trying to figure out what was actually happening next. That should not be the patient's job. What is especially disappointing is that as of August 18, 2026, no one from the office has followed up with me regarding the unresolved treatment issues I had there. No call, no update, no check-in. I ultimately transferred my care elsewhere because I no longer trusted the office to manage my treatment accurately and consistently. I do want to be fair: Valerie was wonderful, and some members of the clinical staff were genuinely kind. My issue is not that every person there was terrible. My issue is that kindness during an appointment cannot make up for poor continuity of care, treatment delays, inaccurate treatment planning, weak communication, inadequate follow-through, and administrative problems. If you are considering extensive dental work here, I strongly recommend getting copies of your X-rays and treatment plans, documenting everything, staying on top of insurance authorizations, asking very specific questions about timelines, and getting a second opinion before agreeing to major procedures. I really wanted this office to work out. Unfortunately, my first impression and my actual long-term experience turned out to be two very different things.

If you are in need of a Dentist and don't see this angel here on earth there is something wrong with you, maybe you should be searching for a Psychologist instead.

Doc you should be as proud of him as you are of your practice which is by far THE BEST in my experience...and what you shared about what you had to do when you came to this beautiful country , to go to Dental School ( NYU I believe was one of the many degrees I saw on your wall) working jobs and how you pass those places now and smile, well you should, because you are not only the best Dentist/Surgeon I have had the pleasure of being treated by, you are truly a beautiful soul and a blessing to this stubborn SOB ! I believe there are no coincidences in life and God has a plan for us all. He nailed it when he chose you to be a Doctor! Thank you and God bless.

He must be out to lunch when she's running her mouth, There is nothing professional about Lynn. The girl before her was a class act! One time the receptionist called me, while I was in the hospital a few months ago. I told her that I'd just found out I had Cancer; she only cared about my outstanding balance. I have been a patient of his for over a year. When I first came in I had a partial upper denture but he suggested that he pull out the six front teeth I had remaining and that he would make me a permanent denture. I had so much trouble with my teeth, in the last few years, and I trusted him so I agreed to allow him to do the surgery, removing the 6 teeth, and make the dentures. He is the only dentist, that I know, that doesn't have Nitrous Oxide, especially for extractions. He put in a temporary denture until the permanent one was completed. I believe he charged me over $5000. I had no idea how much the shape of my mouth would change due to the loss of bone density.I did ask him if the frown lines around my lips were from the dentures and he said they were not and I also told him that I had several sores in my mouth, all of the time, because the dentures were too big! He said that was an infection unrelated to the denture. In July of 2020, I went back to the dentist to have the dentures realigned so they could fit properly, The receptionist did not care about all of the troubles I was experiencing, she only cared about the 750.00 balance. I told her that I would pay 250,00 a month and she wrote a contract which I signed. A few months later I noticed that the money wasn't being taken out of my account.She denies ever having a contract with me and she kept telling me that my account was going into collections. That did not bother me at all because I didn't tell her that I would be suing his office for a full refund because the dentures still did not fit. During these last few months, I went to a dental surgeon and he said my dentures were horrible and he guessed that they were 10 years old. He said that he would be willing to testify in court or write a letter. I also told him that 3-4 times I asked the receptionist to have the Dr. call me but he never did ; Is he a coward or was he misled? Today, I received a letter stating that he needs to part ways with our Dr. patient relationship, The bill was enclosed and an extra 80.00 dollars was added for missing two appointments with the dental hygienist. That is an out right lie. I have never had an appointment with her. Yes, there were times that I had to cancel my appointment and, in the past year, I had been sick many times and now I just found out it was because I've been suffering with Cancer, This is a medical practice. If my dentures didn't fit in July 2020 what would you do, Dr. Horowitz, to improve the quality. Do you know what you have done to my self esteem? I can't eat any meat, anything hard, and I can't kiss without my teeth falling out. This is a disgrace! Then I have a crazy receptionist threatening collections! On the next day, I was called by someone asking me if I could come in at 2 o'clock. Initially I said yes, but then I thought about how rude your receptionist would be to me and I realized that the only reason they wanted me in the office was to pay my bill. Why didn't the dentist call me? What is wrong with him making patient calls. I don't need to speak to a non- medical staff member who threatens me. Our patient - Dr. relationship was already over. I am looking for a full refund for the damage you have done to my mouth. Why couldn't you return my calls, are you afraid that I will confront your incompetencies and ask for a solid and honest answer? Missing appointments with you has nothing to do with the reason that my dentures don't fit. I did ask you that question in July 2020 when I came in for my appointment. You told me you realigned the denture and to apply Fixodent as an adhesive; that didn't work; the dentures continue to fall out. I guess all the matters is the money, not the service. I am not sure why you would have the receptionist, that should develop a rapport with the patients, be the one that makes the phone calls for collection of money. I don't believe that's a good practice. I know that in the past people have taken advantage of your good nature and have never paid their bill but I am not one of those people. This is why I wanted to talk to you in person or on the phone but for some reason you would not give me that courtesy. My next move will be to write a review on other social media sites and then I will report this to the NJ Department of Dentistry. I
