Although Endodontists are the ``root canal specialists`` today, don't be fooled. General dentists used to perform many procedures in the past, and root canals were one of them. Dr. Ira Biderman comes from that fading stock; and has taught his son, Jonathan, what he knows. When you need root canal work, then the Drs. Biderman are your best bet.
Dear Ira, You are absolutely amazing. I stressed for 2 years to have 2 teeth pulled and I finally decided you were the only dentist I can go to after my daughter's and granddaughter's told me how wonderful you were. They were so right. Within 5 minutes you had pulled my 2 teeth. No pain, no anxiety. I am still amazed at your skill and patience and good humor. I cannot thank you enough. Love, Shirley
Dear Dr. Biderman and Staff, I want to thank you all so much for taking the time to see me in late September. My apologies for not having written sooner, but I left for Ireland shortly after my visit to you, and I just returned this week. But I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your having see me on such short notice and to tell you how just how much I appreciate all of your efforts on my behalf. I was in the most incredible pain and your concern was overwhelming. You have a new client now. I am so touched by your kindness that I will always be grateful. Thank you again - you were wonderful and I just wanted you to know how much it meant. Thanks, Patirica Sund
Dear Dr. Biderman, Special thanks for coming through for me at a tough time and making it so much easier to bare. I am confident that under your care I am should never expect anything less than the best. Sincerely, AnnMarie
I have been married to the greatest guy in the world for 37 years, my husband Dr. Ira Biderman. When we were first married, I worked and put him through dental school. As soon as he graduated I became a full time mom and raised our 2 children, Rachel and Jonathan. I am so proud of both of them.
Ira and I love to go on cruises together and take long walks on the beach. I love swimming laps, line dancing and playing POGO games on the computer. I also love taking care of our 2 dogs, Lexie and Daphne.
