After not having been able to afford going to the dentist for several years AND moving to a new state I was nervous about finding a good dentist. Everyone in Dr. Fishbein's office was awesome, caring, reasonable, and professional! Absolutely will be a returning patient and absolutely would recommend.

Dr. Fishbein, along with the office staff and hygienists, are terrific. I finally found a dentist that offers guidance, cares about his work, and that I trust.

Not a fan of dentists at all, haven't gone in 3 years then I tried out this place. They do a fantastic job over here from check in to check out really its incredible. I got a few cavities filled and it was the best experience I've ever had at the dentists in my entire life! Dr Selle did a great job and for the 1st time ever I couldn't feel the needle in my gums, really amazing work. I will keep going here til I don't have anymore teeth they all do a great job here, thank you !

Like most of us I really dislike going to the dentist! But somehow I stumbled upon Dr. Fishbein about 20 years ago (wow, it's been that long?) and picked the office for convenience as it's in close proximity to my place of employment. Well the planets aligned that day for me as every single person employed there is incredibly kind and compassionate and make going to the dentist a comfortable and stress-free experience. My entire family became patients. Two decades later, the kids are grown and the husband has an ex preceding the word but Dr. Fishbein remains a constant. Even after being MIA for more than a handful of years I was able to reconnect immediately, actually be remembered fondly and able to have any dental needs met immediately. Aimee at the front desk (among many other hats worn) has also been employed there for as many years as I've been a patient. That alone speaks volumes for the office. I refrain from referring to it as a business because they are anything but and treat patients as people and put care above cost always. I can't say enough kind things about the practice and everyone whom make it feel like family.
