I have been seeing Dr. Handelman off and on for over 10 years (12? 15? I can't remember when I started seeing him!) and have always been pleased with everyone in the office. Originally, my mother, older brother, and I would see him for our regular cleanings at least since I was in middle school (that's as far back as I remember). He has done my sealants and filled a cavity and was really good working around my braces for the 4 years that I had them, too. I have never been worried about going to the dentist! He (and his assistants) have always been great as long as I can remember. When I was 15 or so, he recommended that I get all of my wisdom teeth removed and told us about a program through NIH that would save my mom a lot of money. I ended up not getting my teeth out then, since they never bothered me and he didn't push the matter at all. When I was in my late teens I stopped going to see him, but my mom kept up her visits and brought my step-dad along to join in on the dental fun. He had to have a lot of work done and had good things to say about Dr. Handelman and the recommended surgeon. Fast forward several years to when I got insurance again and Dr. Handelman was the first (and, truthfully, the only) doctor I called for a check-up. We picked up right where I left off all those years ago. He asked what I have been doing with myself and how my mom and brother were doing. He looked at my fillings and my wisdom teeth and told me he did have some concerns, but nothing that was a pressing issue. He was out-of-network with that insurance (MetLife), but the desk staff took care of all of my paperwork. I did have to pay some up-front, but after the claim forms went through I ended up with an $80 credit towards my next visit. (The woman I spoke with offered to send me a check for the $80 if I wanted. I declined.) I changed jobs and lost insurance and stopped going to see him (again). When I got insurance back through my new job (United Healthcare, this time), again, Dr. Handelman was the first doctor I called. By now, another couple of years had passed and my mom and step-dad had moved away, but he still asked after them. He checked everything out and we talked about the concerns that he had had the last time I was in and decided that, since nothing was bothering me, he wasn't going to do anything. He told me that there was no sense in spending the money to have a procedure done when it wasn't necessary yet. (A big thanks for thinking of my savings account! :) ) (Dr. Handelman also takes care of my husband's teeth and the last time he was there he came home and said, "The doctor told me to tell you and your mom hello.")

My old dentist was terrible, and I was very lucky to locate Dr. Handelman…read more He uses state of the art procedures, and does A+ work. The music he plays in his office is awesome, and his staff is extremely friendly. Recently I called on Friday and the office was closed. I left a message on the voice-mail because I had a minor emergency, and Dr. Handelman himself called me back to diagnose my situation. After speaking with me over the phone, he felt it was best for me to come in to the office because I was leaving for a business trip over the weekend. He scheduled an appointment with me, and arrived on his day off & opened his office just to help me. That showed me how much he really cares about his patients, and I really appreciated it. Thus, I highly recommend Dr. Handleman's office for you and your families/friends needs.

The…read morereceptionist(s)/this office only cares about acquiring new patients and do not do the due diligence to inform patients about accepting their insurance. I went there multiple times and not once did they share with me that I was actually out of network, I had to find out by contacting my insurance company to check on the specific claim. I went in a total of two times, first was a regular cleaning, second time was a follow up/filling. They DID NOT once mention to me that they are actually out of network for my coverage. They had at least 3 opportunities to tell me that they are not in network for my insurance plan. 1) The first visit upon going into the office I gave the receptionist my insurance card and they input all my info and should have seen the in/out network info; 2) when I was paying for my cleaning and scheduling my second appt for filling they could have warned me about charges due to them being out of network for me; 3) my second visit before I went in for dental work or afterwards when I had to pay, I specifically asked why the cost was so high (close to $200) for two basic fillings and they said they had to check with insurance, but they should have seen their out of network status was the reason for the cost. They even continue to schedule my next appt for me in 6 months. For people who several hundred dollars makes a huge difference in their budget, this would be a devastating experience, so please beware if you're new or existing customer that's been wondering why you've been getting high dental bills!

I finally find the place at 9:59 and the gate is closed, lights off, no sign. Hours online say 9am-9pm and my appointment is for 10am. I have been misled and my time has been wasted.

Edit: I waited outside the office for another 10 minutes just in case. Nothing.

I told her I missed a call but they didn't leave any message. Then she told me that someone had left a note at the desk that they had called me to reschedule and left a message (which they did not) because a doctor had left the practice.
