Robert H Turchin, DMD

I have been going to Dr. Turchin for about two years now and I am very pleased with my experience so far! The doctor and staff are super friendly, helpful, and gentle! I never have to wait more than ten minutes past my appointment time and sometimes they even take me back a few minutes early. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great dentist!

Dr. Turchin has been my dentist for over 10 years. I have recommended his office to several friends. Dr. Turchin is concerned about not just your teeth but your overall health as well. It is nice having a dentist that is not only convenient, but friendly and an experienced professional as well.

Dr. Turchin and staff are exceptional. I have always been happy with the work they have done, but even more so, the courteous, friendly and professional way they do it at every appointment. They always take the time to fully answer all of my questions, explain in detail what they are doing and why they are doing it, and perform procedures with minimal discomfort that I am always happy with. They also are exceptional with keeping appointments on time, which is critical when I squeeze an appointment in at lunch. I couldn’t give a higher rating or be more happy with Dr. Turchin and his staff!

Ever since was a little girl, I hated going to the dentist. The instruments were loud and scary, and I pretty much always had a cavity (thanks for the horrible genes, Dad!) As you might imagine, I wasn’t thrilled or quick to find a new dentist closer to where I lived and worked. I’m not sure how I came about Dr. Turchin, but I am very glad I did.
Within a day of making my appointment, I received a call from an unknown number. I didn’t answer, but when I listened to the voice mail, I was shocked (in a good way). It was Dr. Turchin — he personally called me to welcome me to his practice, and basically said he was looking forward to working with me to maintain my dental health. Can you say great customer service?!
The staff members are really nice and efficient. You can tell they really know their stuff — they give you all kinds of tips on how to brush, floss, etc., which don’t seem to be complicated tasks, but a lot of people do these things in the wrong way and compromise their teeth/​gums.
The office uses all kinds of tech-​y stuff, it’s pretty wild. They email reminders, send texts about appointments, they have an ipad for signing in and most recently, they used this little camera thing-​y to take pictures of my teeth. It looked like a toothbrush with a light on the end of it. I could see the pictures right after they were taken and I saw areas of my mouth that I’ve literally never seen before.
Hands down — I recommend Dr. Turchin. Just make an appointment with him, and you’ll get it!

Doctor Turchin is one of the best dentist’s in center city. I have been a patient about 25 years. Kind, gentle, timely, excellent staff, nice office, flexible hours. I have referred my friends to doctor Turchin and they love him and his team.

Dr. Turchin and his staff are fantastic and they offer the best dental care you could ask for. I found Dr. Turchin while I was an employee in the same building as his office. I needed some emergency dental care and they were able to fit me in right away. I continued to be a patient for many years and eventually my husband starting seeing him as well. We were both satisfied each time we visited.

I have been a highly satisfied and loyal patient of Dr. Turchin since about 2009.
My first procedure with him involved placing a crown over the abutment of my dental implant. I had waited quite a long time to have the crown placed after my operation, so the opposing tooth had grown a bit and needed to be shaved down as well.
Throughout my numerous trips to Dr. Turchin for this procedure, I have observed that he is highly diligent, thorough, and meticulous in his work. I knew immediately that he takes a lot of pride in his service. He was so focused on making sure that my crown was aesthetically pleasing as well as technically the best, healthiest fit possible with my implant.
And indeed, when I saw the finished crown, it looked amazing, blending seamlessly with the rest of my teeth.
I was so pleased that I returned to Dr. Turchin soon thereafter when a crown on one of my other teeth cracked and needed to be replaced. I knew that once that crown was removed for the procedure, my «tooth stump» would be exposed to air — and if you’ve ever had a crown, you know how whipping-​smart even a brush of air is to a tooth stump!
I shared my big fears of pain with Dr. Turchin and asked for extra special attention on numbing that area. I am happy to report that this procedure went as smoothly as the first. My new crown looked amazing.
I have since been going to Dr. Turchin for regular maintenance as well as other issues, e.g. The occasional tooth sensitivities that I need him to take a look at.
I have also referred my friends to him with high confidence — one friend for a crown, and another friend with more complex issues stemming from shoddy work with a previous dentist. Feedback from both was glowingly positive: they were very pleased with their services and results as I have been.
Some hallmarks of Dr. Turchin’s practice:
– Any time I have called the office regarding a specific issue (e.g. Teeth feeling sensitive, crown cracking, etc.) Dr. Turchin has made the time to call me, thoroughly
addressing my questions and concerns. I do appreciate feeling fully heard before I even walk into the office for my appointment.
– As mentioned, Dr. Turchin is very meticulous. I would describe him as a perfectionist in his work, both technically and aesthetically. This quality was evident during my 2 crown procedures, as well as my most recent issue with sensitive teeth: during my 1^st appointment, he administered a treatment; and then suggested I come back a few weeks later for a follow-​up at no additional cost. His commitment to high-​quality treatments as well as outcomes is exemplary.
– Dr. Turchin documents everything. I mean, everything. I appreciate his diligence because it means he is invested in the long-​term health of my teeth and gums.
– I pay for dental services out of pocket, so this year I started up my membership in Dr. Turchin’s Savings Plan, which has been a godsend.
The dental hygienists here that I’m familiar with directly are Joy (my dear, hilarious friend who I met through my previous dentist and whose trusted referral led me to Dr. Turchin) and Cathy (I had my first cleaning with her recently in conjunction with my «tooth sensitivity» checkup) and both are excellent.

My family has been going to Dr Turchin for over 20 years. That says it all. Can’t say enough great things about him. He is extremely competent and caring. He is gentle, thorough and patient. We have sent many family, friends and co– workers to his practice and they are all blown away! All say it is the best treatment, office, staff they have encountered. Recently a few people I recommended to him told me that he calls the night before their appointment to introduce himself and go over any concerns. As far as emergencies go Dr Turchin leaves his cell # on his answering machine. Needless to say he is available to his patients 24÷7÷365! We all love him, his office and staff! Dr Turchin please never retire!

I lucked into Dr. Turchin because he was one of the nearby dentists who accepted our new dental insurance a few years ago. I am so glad he did! He is great.
He takes detailed notes about what is going on with my teeth so that on the next visit we don’t have to waste time going over the same things again.
He made me an amazing night/​bite guard and (unlike previous dentists) checks on it at every visit and makes tiny adjustments to it so that it continues to work and give me the best possible fit so that I have the fewest problems from my grinding.
I’ve had several crowns and they look great AND he was willing to work out a payment plan with me.
If I had the money for it I would be having him do veneers on several of my front teeth to cover stains and discolorations from braces and previous less-​than-​awesome dental work. But, veneers are expensive so I can’t do that right now.
I’m actually leaving the area in a few months and Dr. Turchin is one of the things I’ll miss the most! It is hard to find a good dentist that you trust and who does amazing work!

I have horrible experiences with dentists. From outdated offices, to dentists who try and diagnose you with problems you don’t have for more $$. Dr. Turchin genuinely cares about his patients comfort and dental health. He is friendly, punctual, and goes out of his way to make you feel welcome and in good hands. Highly recommended to anyone whose had a bad history with dentists or simply looking for a trustworthy, educated and reliable dentist who wants the best for YOU, not his pocket.

It took four months to fix two botched, unnecessary «fillings» dr turchin’s assistant gave me.
I had been going to doctor turchin for three years. Recently I noticed that his staff was often trying to upsell me on unnecessary, non-​covered treatments (fluoride treatment, Invisalign, eg) but he’d always done a good job so I trusted him.
When I went for the fillings he explained they weren’t traditional fillings in the teeth but on the surface of the teeth. I’m not a dentist and though I had no pain I took him at his word that I needed them. He said it was preventative.
I did have pain after the fillings as well as swollen bloody gums. I went back to have the issue looked at twice and he shaved the filling down but it didn’t help.
So I went to a new dentist who said he wouldn’t have suggested fillings and he fixed the issue in one visit.
I will never go back here and suggest you don’t either.

Dr Turchin is awesome! He is above and beyond I’ve been seeing him since 2007. I recommend him to everyone I know. Everyone on staff is super duper friendly, which I think is testament to what a great guy Dr T is to work for. I’ve had some difficult dental work in addition to regular cleanings (4 chipped from teeth, 2 root canals on now-​dead front teeth, veneers, invisalign, and some appliance for a broken jaw). Dr Turchin’s work is awesome. When I tell people my front teeth are veneers they don’t believe me! I used to have anxiety about going to the dentist, but I don’t with Dr. Turchin.

I was a patient of Dr. Turchin’s for the two years that I lived in Philadelphia. Because my work causes me to relocate frequently, I have been to many dentist’s offices. I am very comfortable recommending Dr. Turchin. His hygienists are polite and friendly, he himself is competent and gentle, and their office runs smoothly. I happen to have a very small mouth, making taking x-​rays difficult and painful for me because the «adult» sized brackets don’t always fit my mouth correctly. The dental hygienist I saw was very understanding and patient, even rigging up another mechanism to hold the x-​ray in place when she realized how much pain I was in. I never felt like there was a hard sell, just careful, conservative dentistry.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Turchin for about 17 years; my wife recommended him to me before we were married.
I’ve never had any problems or complaints in that time. Neither has my wife. I think that itself if a pretty good recommendation.
Now we have kids and take the kids to see him too. Last month my older daughter was in the office on Saturday for a checkup and cleaning. Dr. Turchin was not in the office that day, and my daughter said that she was sorry to have missed him. Later in the day, he called our house to say hello to her!

Most of my family goes here and we’ve all had very pleasant experiences with Dr Turchin and his staff. The office is super convenient, there’s never much of a wait, and the hygienists are all very nice, and Dr Turchin somehow remembers me (since I don’t ever see him for much, thanks to all the toothpaste I ate as a kid…) and to ask about my family, etc.

Dr Turchin is EXCELLENT. He understand his patients’ needs and makes sure that the job is properly and satisfyingly completed. I knew Dr. Turchin was a dedicated and competent dentist when I called him on a Sunday after having chipped a tooth. I needed immediate repair since I was leaving on a business trip that Tuesday and had no intention of looking like a hick at a corporate meeting. He had it all fixed up in no time.
Dr Turchin also handles larger-​scale procedures very well. I had 2 months to spend in Philly before I moved out of state for my job. Dr Turchin accommodated to my tight schedule and fit me in enough times to get me a brand new crowned front tooth (had little accident in my teens). He event sent me to the «crown manufacturing» lab so that they could match the exact color/​shape since this was my front tooth and there is no room for mismatching.
Also, an assistant was late once and instead of simply apologizing and rescheduling my appointment, he gave me a loaded Starbucks gift card and let me come in when I pleased to in order to make up for it.
Overall, combining the irreproachable quality of his work with the excellent handling of his patients, I highly recommend Dr. Turchin. Matter of fact, I wish he could still be my dentist!
