Dr. Sherman is awesome, The rest of the staff - terrible. Anyone who thinks they'll win a 4 year old by screaming at them... And the customer service is even worse...

Our daughters have been patients for many years and we are very pleased with the professionalism and capabilities of the staff and doctors. However, due to a positive Covid test in the household (neither vaccinated child was positive), we were told we had to cancel an appointment, which is reasonable. The best accommodation they could make was to reschedule in 7 months. The services they provide are only good if you can actually get access to them. If you value access and availability, you may want to look at other options.

My one-year-old went for his first visit with Dr. Sherman. We were told he had two large cavities and needed them filled right away. It was hard for me to believe, because we brush his teeth three times a day. I took my children to two other pediatric offices who confirmed he did not have any cavities. I cancel all future appointments. I receive a call from the office manager who tries to assure me that Dr. Sherman would not do a procedure that was not needed, my response was just like Dr. Sherman charge out for a cleaning and comprehensive exam on my one-year-old! He could barely look in his mouth. Run! This practice is a joke! I will be filing a complaint with my insurance company.

The office staff has a terrible attitude. I needed to make a follow up appt for my daughter. After 3 messages they finally called me back and implied it was my mistake because they 'always call back'. Since then it has been more and more snarky attitude for anything we need to deal with them. The latest issue is the office misplacing a referral I sent by email over a month ago. Guess what? My fault again! Not a fan of this office.

Really upset you stopped taking my insurance Horizon NJ Health. Dr Joselyn Jeffries Bruno is the best of the best. She was able to treat my daughter's dental issues without placing her under general anesthesia as three other dentists at other practices recommended because of her anxiety. All she did was sing to her while she did her work. Which by the way was rendered top notch. We love her and hope you reconsider your decision in the future. And if so please contact us. Thank you.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr Sherman and his staff. My 3 month old visited for frenectomy and was handled like she was one of their own. They're quick, efficient and very helpful. I also was extremely impressed by how well the office was managed and run. Every question or concern I had was quickly addressed. Sarah is wonderful!

That office is a bunch of thieves! They charged me up front despite me providing them with my dental insurance card. Other dental offices normally make a copy and say that they will bill you if it doesn't go through. But no, they demanded $175 upfront and claimed they will run the card the next day. Needless to say, it's been weeks and they haven't filed any claims through the dental insurance. I called to follow up, and the billing department lady gave me a heap of attitude and acted like it was a great hardship on her end to have to bill the insurance. It's been several days, and they still have not filed a claim with dental insurance. Second time it's happened this year. Shore dental owes us $350 at this point and they keep giving us the run around and play games when it comes to billing dental insurance.

Everyone from the Dr to the receptionist are friendly as well as informative. My children actually look forward getting their teeth cleaned. Who would have thought this could be possible. I wish my pediatrician could somehow have the same affect. I would defiantly recommend Shore Children's Dental to my fellow parents.

The dental assistants are thorough and always willing to explain everything you ask of them - just today showed my daughter proper way to floss and me how to properly floss my son. Dr. Jeffries and Dr. Kearns are wonderful and always put kids at ease and go out their way to explain the where & why of all exams and procedures. Dr. Sherman is amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable and and I trust him completely. Office staff, though busy, are always pleasant and kind. Pam is a gem. Obviously a reason why they are booked so far out! LOVE!!!!

My child went in to have the tongue tie procedure done, 3 months later had to have it redone, the way the process was treated I learned later was not the best (having the procedue done in a carseat, laser is not the most effective, stretches were inadequate afterwards, etc...) After the procedure was done by Shore Pediatrics we were told everything was fine. Our child was still having issues breastfeeding months later, when we talked with another lactation consultant they recommended another doctor who took the time to explain what was going on in more detail. The actual doctor took the time to sit and talk to us in this case, not just a nurse or an assistant. The second procedure worked and baby is doing fine.
