Goodman Orthodontics

I have been seeing Dr. Goodman for a little over a year and the Invisalign treatment he designed for me has been extremely satisfying. My teeth had moved over the course of time to the point that I felt like I needed an adjustment.
From the beginning, Dr Goodman takes the time to discuss with you the process you will be going through with clear expectations of what to expect. At each appointment with him, he will review with you how your teeth are adjusting and where he expects changes to take place. I followed his directions as prescribed and wore my liners for the recommended 20 hours a day. Initially, I was turned off by the number of attachments I needed but quickly got over it. There was very little discomfort and the assistants worked closely with me if adjustments were needed to make the liners more comfortable to wear.
After the first appointment and at the very beginning of treatment, he showed me a video of how my teeth will be changing throughout the course of treatment. The video was such a great incentive to keep wearing the liners! The staff at the office make the frequent office visits very quick and pleasant. It really isn’t a huge inconvenience to have a checkup every 4 – 6 weeks.
What I really love about Dr. Goodman is that when he feels the treatment needs to be adjusted, he never hesitates to order new liners after taking new images of how my alignment changed. He’s done this twice for me and each time I feel like I’m getting a better degree of adjustment.
I’m close to completing my treatment and my teeth are better aligned now than they have ever been. Do not hesitate to see Dr. Goodman. Working with him is one of the best decisions I have ever made!

I’m so happy with my decision to do invisalign treatment with Dr. Goodman. After debating for many years, I made an appointment for my initial consultation and immediately began treatment with Dr. Goodman. Dr. Goodman re-​assured me I was a candidate and I felt comfortable with every step of the process.
Dr. Goodman gives individual attention to each patient and works with each patient to schedule the appropriate amount of follow up appointments to be sure that the invisalign treatment is going according to plan and to determine if it needs to be adjusted at all. Other orthodontists that my friends had used for invisalign treatment went much longer than me without seeing their orthodontist — which is the opposite approach of Dr. Goodman and the reason my results were so great and my treatment time was shorter. I am approaching the end of my treatment at the 1 year mark and am thrilled with the results.
Dr. Goodman and his staff is highly competent, responsive, and easy to work with. The best part is Dr. Goodman will personally answer your e-​mails with concerns and questions right away and around the clock.
Go with Dr. Goodman– you won’t regret it!

What an amazing place ! From the Front Desk ladies to Dr. Goodman !!! Everyone is so nice, professional and carrying ! The space is super clean and smells great too ! Please, if you need someone to help you gain the confidence a great smile brings, this is the Dr. for you ! I’m currently a patient of Dr. Goodman for few months and I’m extremely happy ! Great job, thank you ! ! P. S: I rarely write a review but they deserve it :)

I’m THISCLOSE to being done with my treatment and can’t believe I’m able to complete it short of a year (started last Nov).
Here’s what I’ve learned with my treatment:
1) It really pays for you to stick to the routine of wearing it for at least 20 hours a day, which I was diligent about. Even Dr. Goodman was surprised to see how fast my case was accelerating.
2) When Dr. Goodman tells you to get attachments to speed up the process, DO IT! I had 15 attachments on (top and bottom) and though Invisalign didn’t look as clear given the indentations, it really didn’t look bad.
3) Dr. Goodman communicated every single step needed to get my teeth perfect and provided clear options, when available, depending on my comfort level and adherence to a routine. His guidance was thorough and you could tell he was being honest about your case. If he thinks your teeth are as perfect as it’s going to get given Invisalign capabilities, he’ll tell you. And on the other hand, if he thinks a few more weeks will help to get it as near perfect as possible, he’ll break down what the next steps will be.
4) As annoying as regular visits sound for a year (i.e. every 4 – 6 weeks), the wait time is like 2 min. and they’re usually done with the check up in less than 15 min. unless you’re getting a scan for the next set of trays.
I’m very happy with my experience and excited about how my teeth with look in a few weeks without the trays. Though I’m not looking forward to wearing a retainer at night indefinitely, it’s a small price to pay for perfect teeth I’ve always wanted.
Thanks Dr. Goodman and team!

I had been thinking about Invisalign for about 5 years before coming to Dr. Goodman. I was a classic story of someone who begged their Mom to let them take their braces off before sleep away camp at age 13 … and broke my retainer at camp, so my teeth moved.
Now 25 and living in Manhattan, I took the plunge and decided to do my research and find the right orthodontist to do Invisalign. I searched thoroughly and finally came upon Dr. Goodman’s office. If you are thinking of doing Invisalign, he is your guy. He made himself available on weekends to work with my hellish schedule (I work at a Big 4). I am very meticulous and calculated by nature. Dr. Goodman worked with me throughout my treatment, checking in with me by sending me videos and pictures of before and afters throughout my aligner orders to ensure that I was happy with the results.
He has a great demeanor, has an acute eye for detail, and wants to make sure that you feel the most confident about your smile throughout treatment (he made sure to put brackets on the sides of my top and bottom teeth when possible so it was the least noticeable). I am now in month 8 of my treatment and have 2 months to go (5 more trays). Dr. Goodman has made the process seem painless… and I’m very happy with the results.

Dr. Goodman is a disaster for adult orthodonture, be prepared to have your concerns brushed aside like a small child’s. Soon you learn the only opinion that matters is Adam’s — and generally he has an incredibly high opinion about his himself and his work. Expect: imperfect results, 0 attention to patient comfort at the end of Invisalign treatment, focus singularly on visual results with really no concern for long term health impact or any seeming awareness that this is a medical procedure and comes with responsibility to the wellness of his patient, let alone the Hypocratic oath; evidenced by frequent visits in which Adam is not even there for your exam and the medical assistant (s) he constantly cycles through are clueless and ask you to repeat any concerns if/​when Adam may grace you with his presence at a subsequent visit. They won’t address anything or take notes! Brilliant way to deflect patient complaints. Unless it’s for follow up treatment AND for pay, Adam feels very strongly about how little is included or how responsible he is for the goals of your treatment plan as specified, and has little concern about the introduction of new problems as he blindly cuts away at malformed retainers and let’s your teeth hang in the balance while suddenly offering you the only option to keep your teeth as straight as they are; move on to a final night brace.
He will be the first to brag during your appointment about how little he has to do compared to traditional braces. If I had known I was trading a stable bite for marginal improvement to my childhood braces for over 4k and the introduction of an unstable bite and myriad oral problems that still continue 2 years AFTER treatment, I never would have done it. Adam is a compete sham rip-​off and Invisalign is equally disinterested in quality results with no real recourse once mistreatment has begun. Do your research and instead of allowing cosmetic vanity Doctors like Adam to convince you to devalue true health care practitioners (a dentist), go find one that does Invisalign if you must and seek true professional care instead — you will be much better off. Finally, if you have been a «patient» of his, don’t let him brow beat you into pulling your honest assessment or inflate a review, no matter what he offers or threatens in exchange. I am writing this because he decided to «follow up,» not after I complained to him directly or when I eventually switched providers (too late, he had already caused significant damage) but he didn’t like my low rating online. I asked him to back off and he continued harassing me, so as promised, above is my full review.

I’d categorize my experience with Dr. Goodman as perfect. From the beginning, he’s been completely upfront about every aspect of my plan. Specifically, he’s clearly delineated all potential outcomes of my treatment with regard to duration and cost. He and his staff are professional, friendly and always on time. My teeth have turned out better than I could have expected, and over a significantly shorter treatment duration than anticipated.
I highly recommend Dr. Goodman and sincerely thank him and his team for their work.

I am very grateful that I met Dr Goodman. Believe it or not I found him via Groupon. He advised me to consult with a maxillofacial surgeon for a corrective jaw surgery. Dr Goodman, my dentist and the surgeon designed a treatment plan and Dr Goodman led me through the plan with Invisalign and SureSmall braces for the final stage. I had a jaw surgery in December and now I am happy with my bite and smile. Without Dr Goodman it would not simply happen and Dr Goodman and his crew were all the way supporting me throughout this journey!
A few more things I would like to mention:
— Dr Goodman keeps an eye on innovation in his area. You will surely get latest technology for you treatment if it is appropriate.
— I was really happy to find out that Dr Goodman’s office and he personally responded to my emails quickly.
— I do not remember waiting more than 5 minutes for an appointment. That is really appreciated.

I just went for a consultation because I want to get braces and the staff was so professional and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Goodman is very gentle and professional, once I get everything sorted out I plan on getting my braces here!

Needless to say, getting braces at 26 – 27 was not making me very excited. Luckily I found Dr. Goodman and his amazing team. I knew I was in good hands when his administrative staff spent hours working with my insurance for hours trying to get them to cover it. When they wouldn’t, they were very flexible and offered me an easy payment plan. They were completely easy to schedule with considering they offer 8AM appointments so I never missed any time from work. When I broke a brace, I was easily able to get an appointment to fix it the following day.
Dr. Goodman is very concerned with his patient’s comfort so when I expressed that I wasn’t happy with the appearance of one part of my treatment, he quickly changed it so that it was more transparent. He is completely up to date on the latest technology in the field, including the SureSmile technology (used for Invisalign) which decreased the time of my treatment by months! His entire staff are incredibly nice and so helpful. You need a lot of trust and comfort for orthodontics. These are the people that will give you all of that.

I don’t often write reviews, and I’m someone who is hard to please with goods/​services, so it takes a high bar of excellence for me to write a review on Unilocal.Simply put, this is about the most satisfied I’ve ever been with a service.
I found Dr. Goodman on Unilocal and went to him to do a round of invisalign. I was consistently satisfied with the level of attention and service that I got from Dr. Goodman himself and his staff as well: the treatment was explained clearly and honestly, the office is modern and clean, everyone is friendly and helpful about answering questions/​concerns and the prices are competitive with other doctors in the city.
But I’m giving him 5 stars because of the above and beyond customer service that he offered. I worked in Connecticut during the course of my treatment and had to be on the train to commute by 8AM every day, and was never home before 9PM. Dr. Goodman was extremely helpful in being available for check-​up appointments at times that worked with my schedule (a handful of weekend and early morning appointments). I wouldn’t have been able to do the invisalign at all if he wasn’t so customer-​oriented.
I recommend him completely.

Excellent orthodontist! Our mutual patients (I practice cosmetic/​general dentistry in the same neighborhood) rave about their experience with Dr. Goodman’s office, and his results speak for themselves. He is an authority on Invisalign and has impressed me repeatedly with his skills.

I don’t know what else to say that others haven’t in the comments below. Having had to align my teeth for the second time in my life, I was dreading the whole experience. Not only did Dr. Goodman make the last year such a smooth ride, I actually enjoyed my visits.
–The secretaries and assisting staff are so pleasant
–The office has a comfortable atmosphere, and everything is very well organized
–Never had to wait longer than 5 minutes
–I was out of the office in roughly 20 minutes each time
Dr. Goodman is wonderful, and honest about the process and what needs to be done. I’m very happy with my results and my new smile. –Thanks again!

Dr. Goodman was great. His staff was super friendly. Always on time which is very important to me. I had a cross bite and he was able to fix it with Invisalign. Which I highly recommend over braces if you can. But you have to wear them! I would definitely recommend him.

As an adult getting braces for the SECOND time, I was apprehensive about the whole situation. Not only did Dr. Goodman make my teeth aesthetically beautiful, but he closed my open bite, which a few orthodontists told me wasn’t possible. He never made me feel like a child and listened to every single concern I had without brushing it aside. He also uses SureSmile, which I believe shortened my treatment time.
Not only has he fixed my teeth, but he did it in the time period that we had discussed (6 – 8 months) — which is a huge plus when you’re walking around with braces. I kid you not when I say that I have actually emailed him at 11pm and received a reply! He is accessible, light-​hearted, caring and professional and I would recommend him to anyone — child or adult. Thank you Dr. Goodman and the entire staff for putting up with me during my treatment! I can’t wait to go around smiling to everyone! :D

I do not normally write Unilocal reviews, so this is really telling of how amazing my experience was.
I went to a new dentist today for a second opinion about my wisdom teeth and the permanent retainers that I have had in my mouth for years. She was not thrilled with the retainers and quickly called up Dr. Goodman and asked him to squeeze me in right away.
I went over to Dr. Goodman’s office incredibly anxious about getting all of this dental work (and the money that it would cost me). I first spoke with his assistant, Lois, who did an amazing job of listening and calming me down. She explained everything, including all of my concerns to Dr. Goodman. Dr. Goodman was incredibly calming and intelligent and did a very thorough examination. He made me feel a million times better about everything, especially the money issue!
I left his office feeling SO much better than when I walked in. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an orthodontist. It is obvious that he has a lot of experience and expertise and really cares about his patients.

If you are looking for a great orthodontist to fix your smile, I highly recommend Dr. Goodman. I have found him to be professional, knowledgeable and straightforward. It is obvious when you talk to him that he loves what he does, and he does it well. Especially when it comes to Invisalign. Not only has he treated a lot of patients, he has also been teaching other doctors on the technique by lecturing all over the country. Some of the other doctors you are considering may be former students of Dr. Goodman.
There are so many people walking around thinking that they are not candidates for Invisalign, because someone has told them so. Dr. Goodman has successfully treated many people like that, not simply by «just giving it a try», but by actually knowing what the limitations are, as well as the possibilities. The doctor has a tremendous influence over the outcome of your treatment, just like with any other dental procedure. Choose wisely.

I am beyond pleased with the treatment I have received from Dr Goodman. From his welcoming office to his friendly staff, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience at the orthodontist. I have been seeing Dr Goodman for the past year now and the consistency of my experience has exceeded my expectations. I am a huge advocate of Dr Goodman’s and for anyone looking for a great orthodontist who is:
Professional
Friendly
Consistent
Provides great treatments and service
Convenient office hours for the busy workers
Efficient staff
I could not recommend Dr Goodman’s practice more highly.

My whole life I dealt with an extreme case of crowding of my upper teeth. My parents couldn’t afford to get them fixed when I was kid, and I lived through my high school years, and my twenties, never smiling, and very insecure about people noticing my teeth.
A few years ago I was finally able to afford getting them fixed, and I went on a search for the best/​quickest option.
I am a standup comic, and I knew having metal braces would definitely effect me on stage. I heard about Invisalign and I met with numerous orthodontists that were considered «specialist» in the field.
I met with three different orthodontists that told me my case was too extreme to be treated with Invisalign. I then stumbled upon Dr. Goodman and he was not only confident in his ability to remedy my problem with Invisalign, he even said he could do it in under two years. I was very happy to hear that… then I was worried about how much it would cost. Upon speaking with his office manager, we were able to work out a price that was not only very fair, but also cheaper than his competitors I met with.
Over the next 16 months I was fortunate to work with Dr. Goodman and his very knowledgeable staff. My teeth are now perfect. It has allowed me to get more jobs and advance my career in many ways.
Dr. Goodman has a state of the art facility, he is personable, and on the forefront of Invisalign techniques. I would highly suggest anyone looking into orthodontic care get in contact with his office immediately.

I came to Goodman Orthodontics with my tail between my legs – I hadn’t worn my retainer and, 19 years after having my braces removed, I had really seen the effects of my laziness.
What a great experience! NOTHING like it was 19 years ago – the technology has obviously improved by leaps and bounds, and Dr. Goodman is clearly on top of all of it. Being a professional, I knew I couldn’t deal with having metal braces again, so I knew that Invisalign would be a great option for me. (Hardly ANYone even noticed when I had the aligners on!)
Over the three months or so that I was treated, appointments were a breeze; I never waited for one minute and everything was explained to me in depth. I was so impressed with the tooth scanner (no radiation, which was important to me) and that the aligner trays fit so well and the movement was so gradual that I had no pain (maybe a tiny bit of pressure, but only for a very short period of time).
I have to say – my teeth came out perfectly and I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Goodman and his staff are true professionals, and so nice (and funny).
