Herrmann Dental Associates

My family has been seeing this dental practice for years and this time we felt compelled to write a review. We’ve seen several Dentist in the practice and today my son was fortunate to see Dr Lazar (sic). His chair side manner was great, he set my son totally at ease and after a cleaning and no cavities, saw him off like a professional.
Great folks!

Great office. Doctors are very friendly and gentle. The entire staff is always very welcoming and make you feel comfortable.

I’m new to the area and recently went in for a check up to a local dentist and to address minor pain in one tooth. They found 2 cavities and said I may need to have a root canal if one of them is found to have too much decay. I take VERY good care of my teeth, maintain regular office visits and have had only minor pain so found the assessment to be quite shocking to say the least. I immediately searched google and found Dr. Herrmanns office and scheduled an appointment for a second opinion. The receptionist was friendly and went out of her way to calm me down. They were able to get me in rather quickly, there was very little wait time in the office and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. I ended up only having one cavity, which was filled on the spot and haven’t had an ounce of pain since. I would highly recommend the office if you’re in the area!

This office is rated low for a reason.
I am quite familiar with it, as I’ve been a patient here for years, SOLELY due to convenience of location (it is literally a 2 minute walk from my house). Other than that, it has been an absolute horror and displeasure being a patient here. I’ve had appointments that I’ve made months prior, cancelled within days’ notice. I had pain in my gum once and called for an emergency appointment. The receptionist told me they were booked for a month and I could not be seen. For PAIN IN MY GUMS!!! UNACCEPTABLE! The staff turnover rate is HORRIFIC. I’ve never seen the same dentist more than twice in a row. The woman at the check-​out desk, Alison, has one of the rudest attitudes I’ve ever seen someone working in a customer service environment have. Some days she is actually pleasant, but if you catch her on the wrong day, she will take it out on you. My friend used to go here and she was upset as well, so she went in, asked for her paperwork to transfer to another office and they gave it to her, no questions asked. When I went in to ask for my paperwork, they gave me the third degree and told me I had to pay $ 20 for each X-​ray that they needed to scan. When I told them that my friend did the same weeks prior and paid nothing, they pretty much said «oh well.
By the way, my last visit there, the dentist’s advice to me was to STOP USING TOOTHPASTE. He stated he hasn’t used toothpaste in 35+ years because it’s bad for your teeth and he just brushes with teeth with water and rinses with mouthwash. NEVER AGAIN!!! They have lost a longterm patient in me!

I’m not a fan of going to the dentist but the dr’s at the practice are very good. The staff is very friendly and professional. The office is a little dated but is clean. They do accept many insurance plans which is how I started there but I would continue if that wasn’t the case. If you find a dentist who you are comfortable with and trust then stick with her/​him.

My experience at this practice was terrific! The staff was friendly and courteous and I loved that all specialties were offered to me right at one location. Easy payment plans and my insurance was accepted. Definitely recommend Dr. Herrmann and her staff! This place is as good as it gets!

Can I give this place negative stars? The people here are insane! The administration gives dentist a 30 minute maximum time for each patient. I’m no doctor, but what if something happens during a procedure? Can I just get an extra 5 minutes?
I went in for a cavity filling, which is probably one of the most common procedures for dentists and my dentist told me once she was done «it will be sensitive from 2 weeks to 2 months.» Did this bitch just give me a whole 6 week time different for my cavity to recover!!! Are you kidding me?! And for the record, my cavity is still in pain…
Then I wanted to go to another oral surgeon to get my wisdom teeth extracted. Because a smart living being wouldn’t even think about going to their oral surgeon. Of course the secretaries gave me the hardest time of my life to process my paperwork. This was an emergency, by the way. My teeth had been hurting for about 2 months while I was abroad, and once I got back to NY, I tried to get them removed right away. It took a whole month for them to get their crap together so I could get my wisdom teeth removed at my desired choice.
The oral surgeon office I went to was amazing, compared to this so-​called dentist office.
PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. they’re are very unwelcoming, not friendly, and most horrible service you could ever imagine.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Aside from the shabby, dingy, run down interior and antiquated equipment, the worst part is the terrible attitude of all the office staff. Never greeted in a nice friendly manner, just plain rude and nasty to all patients. No people skills whatsoever. Go somewhere, anywhere else.
