After getting a root canal at Endodontic Associates yesterday, I was able to get a temporary crown today. Moving right along. Life is good.

Recently went to Dr. Dinkin and was dreading my appointment for personal reasons. Dr. Dinkins team is always kind and professional but just wanted to highlight todays experience. I was very impressed with Layla who cleaned my teeth and did my X-rays. Layla has great bedside manner, extremely professional and calming. In the past when others have cleaned my teeth it has been very unpleasant and at times painful. She did a great job and was gentle and asked for my feedback if anything was bothering me and explained what she was doing before she did it. She educated me on strategies for better brushing and visually showed me as well on a model and demonstrated proper brushing and my personal problem areas and made sure I understood. Overall very impressed with her and now am not dreading my 6 month follow up. Thank you Layla!

Dr. Dinkin and his team are AMAZING! More than 30 years and I have never been to a dentist that made things so pleasant and smooth. I definitely recommend him, seriously I cannot say enough great things about him and his practice. Hands down a solid choice, he takes his time, talks you through everything and explains in term you understand. I love Dr. Dinkin :)

Dr. Dinkin and staff are friendly and professional. They practice excellent hygiene. Dr. Dinkin does not push unnecessary dental procedures on patients like some other dentists do.

I have been a long time patient of Dr Alan Dinkin, more than 20 years, so was my mother who died a few years ago. Dr Dinkin is a gem who cared beautifully for both of my patents. He had a wonderful rapport with my entire family, including my son who was soooo terrified of dentists (he has autism) . He has always dealt with us honestly and professionallhy.

I have been visiting Dr. Dinkin for over 15 years and I no longer fear going to the dentist since I have been his patient. He makes every effort to ensure I am comfortable to start and consistently follows up during the procedure to ensure I am doing fine. His entire staff is professional and courteous.....they are totally ready to administratively support his patents. I look forward to many more years of his exceptional service. Thanks Dr. D!!!

I highly recommend Dr. Dinkin. He has been my dentist for over 30 years. Recently Dr. Dinkin placed porcelain crowns on several of my teeth. My new smile is awesome!! Dr. Dinkin and his staff are professional, informative, friendly and most deserving of a 5 STAR REVIEW.

DON'T GO HERE. As a current medical student (MD candidate in 2020), I would never refer my patients to this practice. My father was a long time patient of this practice. He had partial dentures created here which broke immediately (which obviously should not happen if you use quality materials). In response, Dinkin sent a partial refund for $700. It was never cashed-- my father died due to a long struggle with mental illness, severe uncontrolled diabetes, and memory issues-- part of why this check was not cashed. While going through my father's mess of finances as legal personal representative for the estate, I called Dinkin's office to have the check reissued. This practice then refused-- pocketing $700 that was meant to go to my father, adding insult to injury. I was not allowed to speak with Dr. Dinkin on either occasion--although I offered to wait until he was no longer with a patient. I spoke to a receptionist, Rhonda, on the phone who was exceptionally rude, in addition to not returning the call for more than a week. When I asked for the address, her response was "well, clearly you already have it; you called us". When I asked if I could have a copy of my father's records and asked where I could send my request along with copies of the death certificate and personal representative documentation, I was told there is no email or fax available--just mail-- and then she hung up on me. I later found the fax number online. Lying is not part of the Hippocratic Oath. I was stunned I actually had to tell the receptionist, "You're being very rude." Dinkin originally did the right thing by refunding the $700 to my father because it was Dinkin's partial dentures that were faulty.. But you don't add insult to injury and simply pocket the money, further punishing a patient for the same physical and mental illness that brought him to the dentist in the first place. Stealing from a patient-- especially the sickest ones-- is NOT how any medical professional should practice. Unacceptable behavior. This practice is rude, dishonest and unethical-- CHOSE ANOTHER DENTIST.
