    2 teeth
    Rosario L.

    As a parent of a special needs child, I am constantly worrying about things that haven't happened yet. For example, when my son had two loose teeth, I was already dreading our trip to the dentist to get his teeth pulled out. I was already psyching myself up for a miserable afternoon. HOWEVER... it was the opposite of that. The staff at Dr. Fishman's office were so professional, experienced, cool, calm and collected. They took x-rays without a hitch, and when it was time to pull the teeth, it was done in less than 2 min. Trips to the dentist are not on my list of worries anymore. Thank you Dr. Fishman and staff!

    I hate leaving a bad review but I feel other parents should know. I took my son (nearly 4) in for…read morehis first visit. Dr Fiktarz popped up on my insurance plan's list and it was close. I'd heard a few negative reviews about him but also a few recommendations but decided to try anyway. Well, I wish I would have listened! My son was very apprehensive about the visit even though we have been SUPER positive about dental matters, we bought books about dentist visits of various characters, we have been talking about visiting the dentist and getting a prize. My son is very bright and extremely sensitive. We arrived and his receptionist and assistant were very patient and kind. The one star is for them. The office is very dated and a little creepy looking, but again I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. No colors, no obvious indication that he specializes in pediatric dentistry. We got into the exam room and my son started to cry. I asked Dr Fiktarz if I could sit in the chair with him and he said "no". He was kind of cold and immediately wanted my son to lie down to count his teeth. My son was crying loudly but I kneeled next to him and held his hand, reassuring him. The dentist then put both his hands on my son's shoulders to hold him down, trying to ask him how old he was and count his teeth aloud. My son is still screaming and can't calm down. This stranger just forced him to lie down and shoved his fingers in his mouth! Then Dr Fiktarz, with zero explanation to my son, picked up the mirror tool to look into his mouth. My son's screams grew from upset to PANIC, as any mom can tell, and Dr Fiktarz then goes and begins to use his entire body to hold my toddler down. I immediately went to pick up my son and comfort him. Now, I'm already annoyed because this doctor has ZERO ability to deal with small kids. THEN he proceeded to criticize my parenting, saying that I made it worse by picking him up and comforting him. I told him I know my child and I know when he's in a panic, and he needed me to comfort him, not watch as a stranger physically restrains him to put a tool in his mouth!! He then tells me he's been doing this for 40 years, and that I reinforced the "behavior" and I said that didn't matter because I know my son best. The fact that he thinks panic is a "behavior" shows he needs to retire. My son is 3 and a half. He doesn't fake panic! No child does! After all that, he didn't even try to get my son to try again or offer him a treat. In short, I absolutely do not recommend this dentist. At all. He's awful at pediatric dentistry.

    I've been taking my 3 kids to Dr.Fiktarz for over 10 years !!! He is great with anxious children…read more Makes everything easy and quick.. the Staff is wonderful.. I love Vivian always on top of everything

The front office is kid friendly with cute kids furniture and iPads the kids can use while they wait. My son has autism and when I mentioned this to them they informed me they would make a note so that when we went in to see the dentist they could take a bit longer with my son trying to get him comfortable with the dentist and the instruments. Something else that was very important for us was privacy since we had previously been to another kids dentist that had an open chair concept with multiple chairs right next to each other and my son became scared while waiting and watching the other kids get work done. This is more like a traditional adult dentist where they have individual rooms with open door concept so the staff can come in and out of the room but the patient still gets a sense of privacy. The service was equally great they are very patient and understanding of his autism.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the friendliest staff--everyone was so warm, welcoming, and genuinely great with my child, which immediately put both of us at ease. The establishment itself is immaculate. It's so clean, bright, and clearly designed with kids in mind. It didn't feel like a stuffy doctor's office at all! You can tell they take pride in maintaining a wonderful and safe environment. Honestly, everything about the experience was great. The hygienist and the dentist were patient, explained things clearly, and made the entire process fun for my little one. If you are looking for a children's dentist who combines top-notch cleanliness with truly wonderful, caring people, this is the place to go. We are so happy to have found them! Highly recommend
