Rockaway Dental Center

I had the worst experience with this dentist. I needed three fillings which would have been fine, but he ended up drilling too deep and now I need one and possible two root canals. I will never go back!

This guy is a complete joke. He is cocky and completely unprofessional. Not only did I wait OVER an hour for him to see my kids, but he showed up with his HUGE attitude. He was rude and disrespectful — he spoke to me like I was an idiot. He was an embarrassment in front of his staff… who didn’t seem very surprised with his behavior. He examined one of my kids and after his little «performance», I left before he could put my daughter through the same awful treatment. I strongly urge anybody to avoid this guy. I dont believe any of those good reviews. Do yourself a favor, do the research and find a real dentist who actually cares about their patients.

Adam Helfand was unprofessional and his staff were rude. I have no idea why my appointment was canceled. And they were completely unapologetic about it.

Staff was not to friendly. During my cleaning the assistant was bickering with another because of the way they did something. Very unprofessional. The vacuum machine wasn’t working so instead of switching rooms she decided to go slower. After my cleaning I waited about 25 mins for the dentist to see me. My first visit and he didnt bother to introduce himself at all. Just hi. Didnt look at my xrays (or in front of me at least). After a quick check and glance was done and ready to move on to the next patient like an assembly line. This place might be good for kids because of Dr Gelfand’s obsession with comic books but the place felt like a large store with no door ways. When he asked me how i found them and i responded i had new insurance his response was «cause you have crappy new insurance now?» (Referring to obamacare). Made me feel less important as a patient. He’s not forced to take the plans so why complain to the patient. If you want Lou Feriggno as your dentist, you found the place!

Very nice staff. Dr. Helfand is very caring and will take good care of you. A compassionate professional. You will not regret going here.

I went to this dental practice after a buddy of mine had referred me there. The service was great and the Dr. really took his time. It felt like he cared about me. I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone
