Incredible dentist that I've gone for years and so have my parents. Well run, high quality and great people. Strongly recommended.

I strongly do not recommend Mark Maher. This dentist's bedside manners leave a whole lot to be desired. It is not going to happen again: I cancelled future visits to this office for myself and for the rest of my family.

Dr. Maher is dentistry as it should be done. He listens, he offers options, and works efficiently. I just went in for a crown. The process of getting a crown usually takes two visits, one to prep the tooth and take impressions in order to make a mold of the replacement, and then another visit to fit the replacement and make sure the fit was right. Dr.Maher, in addition to all the above accolades, also uses the most state of the art equipment. What would normally be a three week process to install a crown he did in two hours. The crown he installed is absolutely perfect. Far better than the other one that I had done using the traditional methods some years ago. If I could give him ten stars out of five, it still wouldn't be enough.

What a great, friendly dental office. Dr. Maher does great work and is really honest, never suggests work I don't really need. Went in today with a badly broken tooth and walked out with a quality crown about 2 hours later. Wow. If you are looking for a skilled and honest dentist, this is your guy!

The office was very timely and professional. More importantly, they asked lots of questions instead of just directing. I felt genuinely heard and respected as a patient. Wonderful experience.

Great place! Dr Maher is easy to talk to and pays attention to his customers. I always enjoy are brief "catch-up" times after my teeth cleanings. Mindy the Hygienist I ask for, is also amazing. Fun, easy to talk to and great at keeping my teeth clean. Being a small business owner, my daily schedule changes almost as soon as I wake up each day. So getting me in for my regular cleanings can be a lot of work (for them!), but they always accommodate my crazy schedule. I highly recommend Dr Maher and his staff!

Dr. Maher listens to his customers and presents balanced treatment options. He does not push treatment unless it's imminently necessary. He will see you promptly for dental emergencies (I first encountered Dr. Maher for a broken crown, which he fixed the same day without an appointment). Dr. Maher' entire office team is polite, customer friendly, and welcoming. You won't make a mistake choosing this team for dental care!

This was the best dental experience my family has ever had! Yesterday my three children (ages 7, 6, 4) and I were able to get our teeth cleaned at the same time. The entire staff was patient, kind, knowledgeable and friendly. We returned this morning for my two oldest to have a couple cavities filled (which I knew we needed to get done). My kids were very nervous and anxious because of their previous cavities and dental experience at another office. Dr. Maher and his staff helped them relax and feel comfortable. My kids watched a show on multimedia glasses and were able to listen to their favorite music laying in the dental chair. Dr. Maher explained each step to us along the way and even showed my kids what he was doing. He worked on both kids at the same time so we were only there for an hour and half. Not only did we have no tears during the visit, we came home and everyone is already playing outside and going about their normal day. I'm so happy that we found this office for my family. Thank you Dr. Maher and team for being so wonderful!
