Dr. Mitnick's partner/wife Dr. Herbst was my first and only dentist until I was 18. She's wonderful, gentle and now that I've had more experiences with dentists, I know she's one of the best.
Her husband, Dr. Mitnick on the other hand, could learn a thing or two from her. He's extremely rough, does not explain anything he's doing and gets frustrated when you ask him questions.
Let me put this in perspective. I had a root canal done with another dentist. She did a good job, but it was still pretty painful. When I went in to Dr. Mitnick to have my crown fitted, it actually hurt worse! He was extremely rough with his instruments. I had to ask for a break several times and he became extremely impatient with me when I did. Needless to say he's sorely lacking in bedside manners.
I don't even go back there for cleanings. I've found a new dentist that I'm very happy with, Brian Grimmer in case you're wondering.
If you have kids, take them to Dr. Herbst, but do not go to Mitnick. He's the worst dentist I've ever had. read more
