My experience with Dr. Puterman began a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away--before Covid…read morewas a word, let alone a plague. After consulting with a number of specialists, the consensus was clear. Dr. Puterman is the best at what he does in the DMV--and my particular case (don't ask) required the best. I confess, I was skeptical. But a little more than half a decade (and several surgeries later (don't ask), I have a functional mouth again. Not only teeth that work but teeth that look great. Best of all, the pain that tormented me for decades is gone. GONE. Obliterated. Throughout this ordeal, Dr. Puterman stuck by me. And I by him and his extraordinary staff and colleagues. Dr. Puterman was always honest. Always fair. Always honorable. Always kind. And always decent. This is not what I would have expected given the intrinsic challenges of my case and the fickle nature of human biology that doesn't always cooperate with titanium and bone grafts. And yet--here I am--finally some five plus years later. Grateful beyond words for my experience with Dr. Puterman. Don't get me wrong. I won't miss being in his chair for scores of additional hours. I'm a grateful patient. And what makes me especially grateful is that we made it--together. If you desire the best that modern dentistry has to offer, there is no one better--more capable, skillful, and honorable. I could not recommend anyone more highly. Puterman is the best.

I had a panic attack during an IV sedation appointment with Dr. Puterman. Dr. Puterman was unable…read moreto sedate me (which I get, that happens sometimes). However, he didn't stop. He continued to work on me through my panic attack, and never even reached out to my husband who was in the waiting room. I couldn't speak due to the dental dam, bite block and all the instruments in my mouth, so I just lay there, hyperventilating with tears streaming down my face. I was severely traumatized. Weeks later, when I approached Dr. Puterman about the trauma, he dismissed my concerns, gaslighting me by questioning the validity of my experience. He even went on to tell me that his family member's panic attacks did not present in that fashion so I must not have been having one. He called me by the wrong name, patronized me, and completely disregarded my concerns about my very disturbing experience. To make matters worse, he went as far as involving my father (a retired sedation dentist who administered the exam to Dr. Puterman for his IV sedation license) to dispute my account. He tried to get my father to agree that I wasn't having a panic attack and that he didn't do anything wrong (News flash - My dad is well aware of my history and conducted all my dental treatment up until his retirement. He didn't agree). If you seek compassionate care, and especially if you are tough to sedate or have anxiety, I would advise considering alternative dentists who prioritize patient well-being over financial interests. There are many other very accomplished dentists out there who treat the whole person and don't just see dollar signs.

He and his staff are both friendly and competent dental professionals, and I definitely recommend their practice.

This practice when I was a kid filled cavities that did not exist. I had been going to another…read moredentist NEVER had a cavity my entire life. Suddenly started going to this scumbag and I had a cavity every single visit, sometimes two. One day I went and there was another "doctor" filling in and he was supposed to fill the cavity I had been diagnosed with the previous visit. He looked around and said "I don't see any cavities". He then walked back and made some calls and then came back and said "oooh here it is, it was really small..." Someone who takes advantage of kids is beyond despicable. I don't trust tooth mechanics to this day and no one should.

Dr. Herman stays current with all of the cutting edge technology. It's obvious he enjoys his work and my husband and I have complete faith in him. Everyone who works in the office is pleasant.

Experience at the dentist was very pleasant, except that I was told I had several cavities - and…read morethen it turned out based on a second opinion that I didn't. I was surprised to hear the dentist say I had cavities since I had a dentist appointment at another provider 6 months before and had no indication of any issues. As a result, I had a friend who is a dentist look at the photos and that person said it seemed unlikely I had cavities. I then got a second opinion from another dentist in person, who said that I didn't have cavities. The whole experience was extremely concerning and I would strongly caution against this provider.

I can assure you that I never dream about going to the dentist but in my wildest dreams, I could never imagine a practice better than the one Dr. Herman has created. The administrative staff is truly outstanding: polite, accommodating, and consistently kind. My husband and children have nothing but wonderful things to say about their hygienists, and when my teenagers have gone to appointments on their own, I've always received a thoughtful phone call from the hygienist confirming their care. Laura is my hygienist, and she is exceptional. She is gentle, thorough, and genuinely caring. I always feel completely at ease in her hands. Dr. Herman's care is equally impressive. He is clearly highly skilled, takes a conservative and thoughtful approach to treatment, and we have never once felt pressured into unnecessary procedures. He is incredibly patient, spending over two hours bonding my daughter's teeth, with flawless results. The office itself is charming and welcoming, yet equipped with state-of-the-art technology--a perfect combination. I even recommended Dr. Herman's practice to my discerning, retired physician father, who has been equally impressed. If you want the very best dental care for you and your loved ones, this is the place.
