The woman cleaning my teeth was not gentle, kept stabbing my gums and would not understand I was in pain when I would make it known.

I know that if he had been my dentist when I was a child, I wouldn't have dentures now. I can't stress enough how gentle he is in both word and deed. He's a real treasure. If you're worried about going to the dentist check him out. I drove all the way from North Haven and he (and his staff) are worth the trip.

Had a lot of work accumulated after not seeing a dentist for 1.5 years and Dr. Schechter laid out a plan to fix up my teeth. I first had 2 quadrant scaling sessions and then got a great recommendation for oral surgeon. Afterwards, I had two painless (after extra shots) appointments of getting a new crown and getting a deep cavity filling. For the cavity filling, he took a before and after picture using the camera and it's pretty cool to see the inside of my mouth. All in all, my experiences with Dr. Schechter is as pleasant as it can be at a dentist. Lisa and the staff are all very nice and reaches out to confirm/remind before each appointment.

I only tried this dentist after reading reviews here and on Google. The staff particularly Nicole…read moreand Lauren was AMAZING and made me feel comfortable enough for me to make an appointment with severe dental phobia largely due to a dentist who worked on me in my teens. I made sure I discussed this specifically when I made the appointment and I also told the assistant as well. The assistant was so calming, so patient, taking extra care to make sure I wasn't in pain-her name was Lauren. She accidentally sprayed me in the eye with numbing formula due to the pain I was in with a particular upper molar but after my initial surprise we laughed and joked about it! This is where my good part of this review ends. Dr. Schechter came in after reviewing my new patient paperwork and seemed more interested in the name of my former dentist (who made my dental phobia 30 years ago severe) than he was in actually respecting my begging him to stop pushing and digging around a tooth that I was already in pain with because nothing was showing on the Xray taken. Clearly there was a large communication gap where neither of 2 members of his staff shared any information I took the time to give them (unless he chose to ignore it) and how important it was-I was very clear that I have severe dental phobia. They kept pushing a cleaning even after I told the front desk the one molar hurt too bad to touch that I could not chew on my left side since Christmas and that there would be no cleaning until after this tooth was taken care of! HOW ARE YOU CLEANING A PATIENT'S TEETH WHEN SHE IS IN OBVIOUS PAIN & DISCOMFORT????? How brilliant do you have to be to SEE a patient's anxiety is rising and when she suggests giving her gas bc that has worked in the past to calm her down, suddenly the doctor is more worried about malpractice, telling me "I didn't say I offered gas, I don't offer it because patients don't want to pay for it and because of malpractice insurance, and I know Nicole (front desk) didn't tell you I offered it". He couldn't tell anything from the full set of xrays so I will be going to someone else. He actually got annoyed with me and remarked "Wow, you don't want me to examine this at all" (which is when I actually asked to be given gas for my anxiety). Instead he tells me his "relaxing demeanor" is enough to calm his patients (!!!) WOW. This is NOT the place you want to go if you have dental phobia, oh and by the way, they don't offer the gas to calm you down if you do. I have no idea how there are glowing reviews about this guy. Worst experience with a new doctor, so disappointing because his staff is amazing, and the only reason I am giving 2 stars instead of 1, and that he referred me somewhere else. But disappointing and disheartening either way, and I am expecting to only have my insurance charged for X Rays since the assistant spent more time with me than the dentist did!
