I have nothing bad to say about Dr. Trufas. He is great, unlike some of his staff…read more However...There is at least one member (I don't remember her name) on the reception team who seems to like giving an attitude over the phone and tends to have a "whatever" tude toward some patients. I am not the kind who comes in as often as they should. I KNOW THAT. IMO, that shouldn't entitle you to give me an attitude when I call or come in, but it's been happening for years and will probably keep right on happening. It doesn't matter if you tell them to be nice, this particular one will keep right on acting the same way. I'm not out to get her, but it'd be nice to not get sarcasm or rudeness just because I don't come in when I should or can't make an appointment. Unfortunately she fits in with typical the "**** u" attitude from the younger ppl of the area. If my insurance was more widely accepted I'd go somewhere else just to avoid her.

My parents had super crappy dental insurance when I was a kid, and thusly, we could only go to…read morecrappy dentist. I developed a pretty intense fear of the dentist that resulted in my complete and utter dentist avoidance for a period of 5 years. When my molars started to give me pain, I knew I wasn't being smart. You can choose to not open your credit card bill, but you keep racking up fees. Cavities, like credit card charges, don't just evaporate because you ignore them. My friend Jen, who had been a dental hygienist for ten years, recommended Cristi Trufas-Freinberg to me. With some trepidation, I scheduled an appointment. I was right, my teeth were a mess. I had 16 cavities, which might has well been a million. Here's the part where I should freak out, but here's why I didn't: - Professional, courteous, and knowledgeable front desk staff. Same lady. Every time. Know what she's doing. - Interesting and gentle hygienists who are really good not just at cleaning, but also serve as "tooth coach," coaxing you into better dental habits. - Cristi just has a mild mannered, sweet way about him. He's soft spoken and kind. Where'd you'd expect heaping mounds of judgement (16 CAVITIES, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!), you just get patience and sensitivity. He really listens to you, and when you tell him you are afraid of the dentist, he reassures you. When he could feel my heart thumping out of my chest, he stopped to ask if I was ok. He told me if I experienced any pain, to raise my left hand, and he would stop. I did, and he actually stopped. When I told him I could feel the drilling, he ordered up more novocain immediately and waited for it to take effect before proceeding. I once had a dentist refuse to give me novocain, telling me it was all in my imagination, that my cavity was shallow, and that I needed to calm down. The way he treated me renewed my faith in dentists. - The drill and fill room is on an enclosed sun porch that faces the woods. It's warm, bright, and comforting. I actually look forward to going there. You shouldn't go there, but if you have to, it will be nice. Bottom line: if you're terrified of the dentist, this is the place for you.

We were all very satisfied with the care we received. (Cue the ominous music) Then the practice became part of the First Advantage chain and everything went to hell in a cuspidor. Dr. Shah left. Tia left. The practice began to feel like a factory. Yes, Dr. Mandava is very nice, but at a minimum I would expect him to read my records before asking me why I came in. I had X-rays taken by a cheerful young woman who told me her only academic qualifications were a high school diploma. I was also seen by a young man who told me he was a licensed dentist from a Caribbean country but had no US credentials. I love young people. I adore immigrants. However, I hate "chain practices" and was reluctant to continue entrusting my choppers to this practice. I have sought dental care elsewhere.

I was informed the entire time that he would not remember any of this. It was a guarantee he wouldn't remember it. He remembered everything and felt everything. They didn't give him any time for the shot to kick in before he started drilling away at his teeth. My son screamed and cried the entire time that they were hurting him, and that he was feeling everything, for them to just reassure me that he wouldn't remember any of it and he was basically just over exaggerating. I called to speak with someone (Karen) She informed me that it's only a 50-50 chance that the medication would work, that is not at all what I was told. I told her if I knew that I would have just taken him to a dentist that puts them under. I was also told that the doctor doing the procedure was supposed to talk to me about the medication and he never did that. He came in asked how we were. Made sure I signed everything and then walked out. I also had no clue he was gonna be strapped down. He kept saying he couldn't breathe. Later he told me the strap was tight. He has asthma something they knew and I would assume would have been brought up. I'm so mad I didn't walk out as soon as I saw them doing that. They don't care about ur child. Just that paycheck. Go somewhere else.

Dr. Winter walks you through everything he is doing. No surprises. His staff is kind, caring and also contribute to calmness, as they are well versed in their jobs, from the front desk to dental assistant, they ease the anxiety with their know-how and kindness. Dr. Winter is by far the best dentist I have ever gone to. I thought I would be doing sedation dentistry due to my anxiety, but Dr. Winter was able to do all my work so far without it. Dr. Winter knows how to numb the area with the least amount of pain that he can. I have never seen him frustrated, even though I may pause him for my own needs or to get additional numbing. He and his staff are so awesome. I never thought I would say that about any dentist!!! I will have a beautiful smile because of Dr. Winter, and his staff!

We…read morecame up with a plan for replacing old cracked fillings and for a tooth that I hung onto for way too long. The hygienist was amazingly friendly and professional and so good at her craft. She put me on a shorter cleaning schedule so I could catch up from the neglect through Covid days. Didn't hurt a bit! After about a year and a half playing catch up, the work has begun. I'm well on my way to my teeth being fully restored! Also, after weighing all of my options about that darn tooth, I finally got rid of it and can smile again without being embarrassed. They provided me with choices and gave me time to make the right decision for myself. No pressure! I'm glad I chose here. I can see the difference in care from other places I have been. They work as a team. Dr. Seaback is amazing. Very skilled! She also worked with my insurance after a denial and they caved! She's amazing. This place has washed away my dental anxiety and I'm well on my way to a beautiful healthy smile again. I'm so grateful to them!

On my first visit, it was evident that Dr. Oshins is very passionate about dentistry and wellness. He was very thorough and meticulous in ensuring that I had all the information I needed to make an informed decision about my dental health. I love that he makes a lot of effort to connect with his patients on a personal level and takes the time to assess your unique needs as an individual. You're not just a number. I also like his approach to oral health, recognizing that dental issues could be a microcosm of your overall wellness. Highly recommended!
