Absolutely Amazing Experience as a new patient at Fountainhead Dentistry! As a person who has not had consistent insurance the past several years, I was quite nervous about this visit. The assistant A.J. was Incredibly nice, as was the dentist! They both explained my X-rays and were very patient and kind. I highly recommend Fountainhead Dentistry!!!!

I have been going to Dr. Seidman since 1992, I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. I would even wait to get my checkups with him when I lived in Florida for 2 years! I truly like the entire staff. I always feel comfortable there.

Dr. Siedman has been my dentist for many years and now I travel from Baltimore. I think the team is great. Best techs for cleaning too. My kids all were patients of Dr. Pearlman as well. I met the new DDS today and she is just like the rest of the team - patient oriented, kind and helpful. After my teeth cleaning which was safe, easy and thorough as it was before Covid-19, she took time to speak with me about a 20 year old filling which should be replaced at my earliest possibility because delay leaves me at risk of a bigger problem and more cost. How nice it is to have a team that cares about my health and saving me money!

I have been going here since I was a child. When I got off my parents insurance I specifically bought private dental insurance that I knew they accept, so I could continue seeing Dr. Seidman. He and his daughter are both very personable and efficient at their jobs. Both of my children see Dr. Newman, she is very friendly, wonderful with children, and very informative at every stay. All of the office staff are so friendly and helpful as well as the hygienists and assistants. They all take their time with you, never make you feel rushed and answer any questions you may have. It's a wonderful place to go and I try to refer people here anytime someone asks.

My family and I have been going to Fountainhead Dentistry since 1995. All experiences have been wonderful. You know you have a great place when your child is eager to go get their teeth looked at. The office staff, techs and dentists are all professionals and great at their jobs. I always feel relaxed when going for my semi annuals and look forward to the pleasant conversations had with everyone.
