I've been a Dental Assistant for many years. My visit today with Dr Blank was wonderful. His hygienist was great as well. Can't leave Mary Ellen out either. Bottom line it was a pleasure today going to the Dentist.

Dr. Blank Stephen did an excellent job and I can tell he cares for his patients and what he does. He took the time to examine my mouth, ask me questions, and explain what he was doing. No rush! I had many dentists previously that barely looked inside my mouth. The office staff was also helpful and very friendly. I am happy with my experience. A place like this is hard to find!

Redid my whole mouth w new teeth in order to fix my bite & previous work(by others) which had gone awry.. super office staff = very professional.. & my bite is a zillion times better cuz it was way off. So he literally fixed my whole mouth(& lower chin/mouth area) which would have become deformed(from lack of solid teeth)

Absolutely phenomenal experiences. I've had an extreme dental phobia for years combined with a significant medical history and extensive dental work needed. His whole staff is exceptional, his technique and equipment is state of the art. The amount of precision and detail Dr. Blank exhibits in his work is above and beyond expectations. I could not be more pleased and finally gaining confidence back. If I could give a million stars I would. Highly recommend.

The entire staff at Dr. Blank's practice is amazing, attentive, friendly and caring. As a tech enthusiast, I truly appreciate that Dr. Blank also uses state-of-art technology to assess and capture key data as part of the initial consultation to ensure a tailored oral care plan. Alyssa is fantastic and a true professional with a great demeanor and a gentle approach to the entire process. Dr. Blank is one of the few professionals in this field who truly keeps up to date with certifications and new innovations in dentistry to provide much more than merely "good dental care": his expertise in the cosmetic dental arena as well as his impressive credentials put his practice head and shoulders above the rest. He's able to provide a myriad of dental services and I found his overall approach to be extremely comprehensive. Based on several visits and interactions with virtually everyone at this office, I strongly recommended Dr. Blank and his team. Truly a five star experience!

The BEST dentist I have EVER visited! I say this without reservation whatsoever. Dr. Blank is thorough, conscientious, and LISTENS to his patients and wants to know their concerns so he can address them completely. He spends the time to get to know who his patient is. Dr. Blank and his staff epitomize medical professionalism at its best - from the friendly greeting by Mary Ellen to the efficiency and politeness of Cheryl. PLUS, the DECOR of the office is delightful and tasteful - with the most comfy rocking chairs in the waiting room, where by the way, there is little to no waiting. Dr. Blank made going to the dentist actually fun! Thank you Dr. Blank, see you next time!

Dr. Blank is a great general dentist whom I selected after seeing him at many continuing education seminars that I attended. As a dentist myself, I am picky who works on my mouth. His commitment to excellence, quality of work and kind, gentle approach made him a good choice!
