Which I did not end up buying. However, she seemed to know what she was doing. The doctor came in and seemed like she was clueless as to why my daughter had a fill in of another color. She was six when she had a fill in and obviously they were not going to do a permanent fill in on a six year old. The doctor was asking me and seemed like she as a dentist was totally lost as to how procedures are done on children. Didn't like the doctor much. Will not go in for a second time especially after my experience at this dentist office and after reading all the reviews.

I've learned about this pediatric dentist, the one and only Dr. Hernandez, through Dr. Kashkin's,…read morewhich office is right across her in the same bldg. My son is in the spectrum and we've been introduced to her staff and we immediately made an appointment within the same week. Super accommodating and they truly care for our child and so as to their families. Even during this pandemic my son will put his mask on for a little bit and will give us a hard time getting his temperature but due to his condition they don't force it upon him whenever something environmental is triggering his response. We are fortunate to learn about this place, it's so timely bec our family dentist doesn't know how to deal with kids like him. We had to come back a bit often but it's so worth it. We started pre-pandemic that our son doesn't want to even get inside her clinic, her approach is highly commendable, she went out, got to know him, baby steps, then from there to now that he sits comfortably in the check up chair letting her go through his mouth opening wide for her to see all his teeth. It's a year of some practice at home and going there like every 2 or 3 months. She didn't just specialize on dentistry and behavioral background, she knows where we are coming from straight from home with her own experiences with her family esp having the same kid as mine. It not all about teeth, its about how getting things better in life in general. This year is the 1st time my son who just turned 6 blew his own cake candle, he didn't do that for 5 years, sounds easy for other kids but on our case everything is a bit backed. Office alone, wait time is pretty short, systematic reminding via email or text which can be conveniently confirmed with a single letter response and when we happen to call to front desk, they pick up right away. Aesthetic, it's sensory friendly 100 percent. We are truly grateful to everyone we came across to reach at this point, as Dr. Kashkin first described her to us, the wonderful dentist for kids, I say indeed.

She has been a godsend to my son!

I was quite pleased with my visit to Dr. Furman. When I arrived, I was greeted by the friendly…read morereceptionist who checked me in. I had to wait less than ten minutes to see the doctor. The place is very clean and the equipment is extremely up to date. I found Dr. Furman to be extremely knowledgeable and competent, as well as kind and caring. She filled two cavities that were bothering me and it was fairly quick and painless process. I got to sit in this awesome massage chair and watch a tv show while all the magic was happening. As much as I don't particularly enjoy going to the dentist, when its time to go, I would go back to Dr. Furman.

When I tried to clarify the bill, since it came as a surprise, I was met with indifference and attitude by the desk staff. Apparently it was for several months prior. Mind you, I pay bills on time and had been in the office several times during the period between the service and the bill. I had spent literally thousands of dollars in Invisalign and gum treatments without complaint. And yet, over an inconsequential amount, I was treated rudely. After paying the bill, I told the office I would be looking for other care. They continued to text, attempting to schedule appointments. In fact, I just got one recently. It was never about the bill, but about how to treat loyal, longtime customers.
