Surely the most intimidating thing about moving into a new area is to find new service providers,…read morewith the most insurmountable task of all, finding a dentist that you feel comfortable with. I'm happy to share that I have found that very dentist. I take good care of my teeth and typically go in for routine cleanings every six months and rarely have cavities. But when I do have the occasional problems that pop up every 3 or 4 years, they are significant and costly. Normally I get ahead of things before they become an issue but with my big move and a pretty intense past 10 months or so, I had gone an entire year without a cleaning or exam. And then an old crown popped off when I was flossing, reminding me that I better get my ass to the dentist. I searched for a dentist on Yelp and was finding that barely any are reviewed around these parts! And then I found Mel Mel Dental with what appeared to be a very sincere 5 star review, so I took a chance. In all my years of going to dentists, I find my experience here to be the best of all. I rarely if ever, have to wait. There's a family-like atmosphere amongst the staff that makes one feel immediately comfortable. If you look at their website, they give a bio on everyone from reception to hygienists to Dr. Suditu himself. So cool! I actually look forward to seeing the staff and Theresa, the dental assistant, is particularly great to talk to. She makes you feel immediately comfortable as if you're about to share a bottle of wine rather than get dental work done. Finally, a note on painless dentistry. Dr. Suditu is particularly careful to explain exactly what is going on from anesthesia (he expertly administers the shot so that you barely feel it) to the procedure itself. Similarly, he explains your options and takes insurance coverage into consideration. These are all the things that can cause stress in a patient. Now, if only I can find a doctor that I like even half as much...

I've been going to Dr. Chris since maybe 2007 or so and have always had a good experience. In the…read morepast they sometimes hired other dentists who weren't as good, but has mostly been Dr. Chris (and on rare occassion his dad who still chips in now and then) for the past decade. Some of the lower reviews are about front of the office staff, which I vaguely recall being a bit gruff, 10+ years ago but everyone the past few years have been lovely. I have had two root canals (hey I'm 40 such is life) and one was done excellently by Dr. Chris during 2020 in COVID. He did a great job relieving the pain I had been in for a few months. Anyway, highly recommend this practice 10 out of 10 for the last decade or so.

There was a time when I didn't have dental insurance and needed a crown replaced--Dr. Chris went above and beyond to help me, offering a fair and reasonable solution without compromising quality. His kindness, honesty, and steady professionalism truly set him apart. As someone who gets a little anxious in the dental chair, I can honestly say Dr. Chris has earned my full trust. He's gentle, patient, and takes the time to explain everything in a way that puts you at ease. I've recommended this office to friends and family, and I'll continue to do so for years to come. It's rare to find a dentist who's not only skilled but genuinely cares--this office checks every box!

Nothing was revealed ,A second opinion from this dentists colleague found nothing. Mind you this was close to $2000 worth of dental care. Had a retreat done in New Jersey by a specialist to the tune of about $1700. It was found that the tooth was cracked and needed to come out that was another $1700 now for the implant which was 2800$ for the stud and 2000$ for the tooth. All in all this came from a botched root canal that I had done in this office the money and pain that I have experienced will never be rectified. My advice go to a specialist if you're going to have any dental work done.....

FOOLED BY HIS WINNING SMILE AND ADORABLE DOG IN HIS AD: I thought I was signing on for an…read moreold-school, thorough dental care when I contacted Dr. Meshnick's office. It all STARTED OUT GREAT: Lisa and Sussn( ?) answred the phone in a polite, professional way.I WAS OPTIMISTIC. NOTE: Despite their limited office hours, they seemed friendly and warm, and they excepted my Blue Cross Blue Shield dental insurance. So I scheduled the first appointment for my exam and consultation. THE GOOD: Dr Meshnick seemed to be listening to my concerns throughout the consultation. I knew I had some deferred care that needed attention, particularly with some previous emergency work that had been done several years prior. THE WORK: Post and crown work to fix the previous emergency work. This was done PRE-COVID-19. OVERSIGHT: despite the fact that I had expressed concern about a chipped tooth on the other side of my mouth, the Doctor dismissed it as fine. COSMETIC: The last item I discussed with the doctor during the initial consultation was a long-term strategy to improve the alignment of my teeth. I scheduled the post and crown work and had it completed. My insurance covered paid about half and I was sent a bill for the remaining balance. THE BAD: shortly after having the post and crown work completed, the suspicious tooth that I had pointed out to the doctor broke off. I reported this to the doctors office via voicemail message. THE UGLY: fortunately, the affected, broken tooth, is in the back of my mouth and is generally unnoticeable. REMEMBER , During my initial consultation I had called attention to a potential degradation of the very tooth that later broke. I was told by Dr. Meshnick that the tooth was fine. Just weeks after the post and crown, the tooth broke. The gaping hole that was left requires additional caution and care to prevent infection. STUCK WITH THE SITUATION: My travel schedule picked up again and I did have to reschedule hygienist appointments each time reminding them of the gaping hole and making it clear that I was disappointed by the oversight and the failure to notice the issue. THATS THE DENTIST's JOB, right? COVID HIT AND I became ILL. I spent months in self-quarantine. The very last thing on my mind was calling the doctor again about a broken tooth when I was so ill. THE MONEY FACTOR: although During the COVID PANDEMIC I received bills to pay off the balance of about $240 dollars, not once did anyone at the dents's office express concern or empathy for my dental situation which I believe was due to lack of thorough care of the consultation stage. INSTEAD, when I spoke with Lisa today to provide credit card information for my final bill, she denied receiving any information from me about the broken tooth and my disappointment in the care I received. Instead, the previously-polite Lisa became defensive and curt. Not in any way apologetic, in fact she was borderline sarcastic, making feeble excuses for the deficiencies in care and tried to make it seem like my fault that the issue was not picked up sooner because I rescheduled my hygienist appointments well-after the work was done and the second tooth broke. THE FINAL DECISION: she claimed that I never reported the damage to their office. Malarkey. As expected, she defended the doctor. Of course she should do that. She's employed by him and it is not a comfortable discussion to have. I get that. But turning the table and blaming the patient for the business' mistake is not acceptable. The fact is that I could have received the proper care before Covid if the doctor had paid closer attention to my complaint and investigated it further. THE RESULTS: In my opinion, I did not have to walk around for months with a broken tooth during a pandemic. WHAT WOULD YOU DO? Dr. Meschnick seemed to be a very nice person and I'm sure he was a very proficient dentist during most of his career. At this stage, I feel like he msy be in semi retirement mindset. THE SIGNS I MISSED: Limited hours and a lack of thoroughness. I will not be returning to this dentist.

He reviewed the report from my endodontist that performed the root canal due to an infection in this tooth and Dr. Z said it sure was a bad infection! This crown was recently put in by another dental practice and was left untreated for months after it was sensitive to hot & cold temperatures. "Batman" said I had too much going on with my teeth and that he would not treat me. My lower jaw and gums have been hurting for a while due to impacted wisdom teeth that 2 oral surgeons are afraid to extract and other specialists misdiagnosed me with TMJ. Due to the fact that I have problems , he stated that my case is too complicated and he referred me to a specialist, which is defined as the branch of dentistry that deals with the restoration and maintenance of oral function by the replacement of missing teeth and other oral structures by artificial devices. Note that I do not have any missing teeth and that Dr. Joel Zaritski didn't even take the time to look at my in my mouth and at my teeth. I even asked, "you mean you wouldn't even do a filling out some cosmetic bonding?" NO he answered, nothing as he stood as far away from me as he could with his arms crossed! Make sure your dental work doesn't take much work or intelligence as this practice doesn't seem to want to work, think or do business with someone who needed a bit of compassion!
