The salivary gland is responsible for the production of saliva, which keeps the mouth moist. Whenever there is a problem with the salivary gland in which it no longer produces saliva typically, xerostomia (persistent mouth dryness) sets-in.
Saliva plays a crucial role in the mouth; when there is a lack of saliva in the mouth, it could result in difficulty in eating, tasting, or swallowing. Saliva also counteracts the effects of acids produced by oral bacteria, thereby preventing tooth decay and bad breath as a dry mouth causes halitosis.

Booked my first time appointment 2 months in advance just to realize, on the day of the appointment, they didn't have me in the system... 2 months waiting for nothing

At my most recent appointment with Dr. Felder I was informed I had periodontal disease and would have to pay out of pocket for deep cleanings. When I informed her that I work for a periodontal office I was told to go get treatment there then and was dismissed from her chair IMMEDIATELY. I proceeded to ask her how she diagnosed me with this, if I had bone loss or deep probings to which she could not answer. She continued to blatantly disrespect me stating "you work for a dental office with those teeth" and "it's a good thing you wear a mask." GOOD NEWS IS I DO NOT HAVE A PERMANENT GUM DISEASE. I would love to say maybe this was a lapse of judgment but being I'm a husky patient who was asked for my credit card information as soon as I walked in the door... I doubt it. Please avoid this place!!

I never have disliked going to the dentist but, before I went to Dr. Felder I was definitely didn't trust any dentist I had visited (after my childhood one retired). I have gone to Dr. Felder three times and I can honestly say, she is incredible! Her professional honest friendly approach and gentle touch is why I have all the confidence in her! It feels like we are a team working toward my dental health. Thank you Dr. Felder!!! *Healthcare system FYI: As a healthcare professional myself, I see the negative attention providers get on many things out of their control or reactionary to our broken healthcare industry. Impacts can be: the relationship between any healthcare provider- your insurance company/ all of your employer's chosen plans - medical vs prescription coverages- pharmacies/ brand vs generic medication, etc. It's super important for us as patients to get wise on the cost of healthcare in our country and who is responsible for what in the chain of management.

Dr. Felder has been my son's dentist since he was about 5.. he is 17 now. He went there with a fear of all things dentistry related and she helped him get over that. We love her so much that I even left my dentist who I've been with forever and I now go to her as well. All staff is polite and professional. Highly recommend!

Over priced dental care. Recommendation of unnecessary procedures. Lack of proper patient- doctor trust building. Sarcastic staff with a bad attitude covered with a fake-nice persona. Preference for collecting huge sums of money up front from the patient rather than the patient's insurance company. Lack of transparency. Greatly uses fear tactics to manipulate the patient into paying for and receiving care they may not necessarily need. Eerily lonely location. Even though on the surface the presentation of the office seems nice and upscale, you can't help but get this nagging feeling that something is not right. It's not.

I miss my dentist!! I've moved and haven't been able to visit Dr. Felder's office I've always been anxious to go to dentist but Dr. Felder has a way of making you feel at ease and comfortable. She cares for the whole person, has great bedside manner, knowledgable and passionate about what she does. The office staff is always very kind and helpful as well. If it weren't for Covid I'd still schedule appointments for my family and I, if we went to visit family.

A great find in Norwalk. Over the years living in different cities I have a preference for specialized dentists and doctors rather than high volume offices. She takes insurance and has done complex crown work for me. She's the most efficient and precise doctor I've had.

I am extremely disappointed with my visit to Dr. Felder...During this routine check-up Dr. Felder barely cleaned my teeth, she wanted me to come back for a more expensive deep cleaning and then went on about some other dental work I should get that will cost me some more money. The office NEVER submitted this visit to my insurance even when I called them multiple times to follow up on the issue...which means I am out the random $100 they charged for the visit. Definitely wanted to support this dentist but she doesn't look out for the patient. P.S. I would give 0 stars but then I can't post this.

Tried to call for an appointment and was told my insurance wasn't accepted.. which is fine. So I offered to pay out of pocket and what my next step was.. was told "go find someone that accepts your insurance."

Money hungry dentist. I wouldn't suggest coming here. Very friendly staff but I've been over chargeed for work done. Got a deep cleaning that costed me $600, not sure as to why it was so much when I'm insured. Nonetheless, I paid the amount, and contacted my insurance and to get an explanation of benefits. Good thing I did, I'm only responsible to pay $200. My insurance covers the rest. Be sure to have an explanation of benefits to avoid this problem from happening.
