I started going to Dr. Vilshansky in the mid-90's when I worked across the street from him, which…read moreis how I found him. In ALL my dental experiences, Dr. Vilshansky was the absolute best, so much so, that when I relocated to Ohio from Los Angeles, I called back and asked if he would take my insurance here in Ohio so I could go there twice a year. Dr. Vilshansky pulled 2 of my wisdom teeth and during the very first extraction, I went there in so much pain that, as he was massaging the area of the extraction, I said, "Dr. Vilshansky, PLEASE hurry and pull it!" He replied, "Your tooth is on the table!" I was SHOCKED; he had already extracted it and I had no clue! I took all 3 of my children there for ALL their appointments; they LOVED Dr. Vilshansky. I am African American and I believe he is Russian. He treated my children and I like family. I LOVE this dentist and to this day, I have never had better experiences, which is why I searched to see if he is still practicing. I read a review on here by some woman named Faith; I don't know her, but what I do know is that in the 5 years I was serviced by Dr. Vilshansky, neither I, nor my children, have EVER experienced anything she described. Dr. Vilshansky is in fact, up in age, but to describe him as "feeble" is classless and her review should be ignored in its ENTIRETY! As far as the review that stated his equipment is dated, I cannot say one way or another because I no longer live in California, but, what I CAN say is, irrespective of the alleged dated equipment, exaggerated negative review by a stray, Dr. Vilshansky is one of the best in the biz. He's the reason I overcame my fears of Dental procedures and why I'm compelled to contradict the unfair criticism by the reviewer. He's warm, friendly, has a sense of humor and epitomizes class and dignity; the fact that 15 years later I'm here defending his reputation and advocating for him speaks for itself! I REALLY miss him, (and Sandra-receptionist). I pray that all is well with both. If you want a state of the art experience and the $20,000 price tag that comes with that, then perhaps Dr. Vilshansky is not for you, but, if your desire is to have a first class experience by a dentist who cares about his patients, as much as his practice, then look no further, because it get's no better than this! Yelp offers, at most, up to 5 Stars; based on my life experience with Dentists, he earned every single one. #5Stars.com
