I have had Dr. Schechter as my dentist for over 15 years. He does excellent work and the staff is skilled, focused on patient care and pleasant to work with.

Dr. Schechter and staff always make sure I am not in any pain. They answer all my questions. The rooms have big windows that look out at large trees covered in snow (at least at this time of year), which is calming. Going to this dental office is, by far, one of the nicest dental experiences I have ever had.

He's patient, kind and highly skilled. I'm not an easy patient and he makes me incredibly comfortable. I cannot imagine going anywhere else.

Dr.Schecter is technically exceptionally skilled. That is matched by his kindness and generous spirit. While the staff is highly professional and always on time, I never feel rushed. No question is stupid. The office is beautiful, perfectly cleaned and maintained, and I know I'm in very good hands.

I've been a patient of Dr. Schechter's since 2002 when I lived across the street. At the time, it has been several years since I had seen a dentist. I used to think of them as "only when you need them" type of medical professional because of past dental experiences resulting from my own poor dental care. Dr. Schechter has always made me feel welcome, comfortable, and safe. He and his staff take the highest level of safety precautions when working on my teeth. On each visit, I am made to feel comfortable with clear explanations of what was happening and continued inquiries of how I was doing. Their sedation offering allowed me to get through some difficult procedures. As someone who has always hated dentists, I'm so glad I found Dr. Schechter. Now I have a healthy smile I am proud of!
