Dr. Fogel is wonderful. We were referred to his office by our hygienist. Unfortunately, offiice staff is quite rude. My son had work done there and within a year one of the crowns fell out. Although, we do not see Dr. Fogel because of distance, I figured I would call to have the work he did, remediated. We spoke to Dr. Fogel during off hours and he was extremely kind and told us to call when we returned from vacation to make an appointment. When his staff member returned my call, she was extremely rude and questioned why I was returning to have the work fixed as my son isn't a patient and hasn't been seen in several months. We will not return. This isn't the first time I've felt we've been addressed in a brash manner.

Dr Fogel was amazing! My daughters had a fear of the dentist from a previous . He was great with my daughters. He knew how much they could handle during the appointment to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I would highly recommend him.
