This Dentistry is really one you should consider. The dental hygienist named Jesse went above and beyond to cater to all of my questions. She gave me numerous options that included everything from normal upkeep of my teeth all the way to inquiries about Invisalign and the entire process. She took her time when completing my x-rays, cleaning, and my enamel density test. The front desk staff was also polite and very helpful. They greeted me when I arrived and also sent me a link where I could complete my initial paperwork before arriving for my appointment, which was extremely convenient and a time saver. Overall I can honestly say that this has been the best dentist that I have ever visited. I would highly recommend this location to anyone who is looking for a new dentist or just in the market to replace a current one that they are not happy with, trust me you will not regret it.

*********OFFICIAL ETHICS COMPLAINT PENDING BEFORE NEW JERSEY STATE BOARD OF DENTISTRY********** THIS INCOMPETENT DIVE DOESN'T DESERVE EVEN 1*, rude, inconsiderate staff. I was forced to wait #3 HOURS for an X-ray, still waiting over #1 MONTH for a return phone call--OUTRAGEOUS--no reply yet over #1 MONTH to my email. When Dr. Ekstein was in charge, service was excellent, however, now the place is worthless. A rude staff member while talking to me, walked away & returned 10 minutes later with no explanation. I am a CASH client & pay immediately. Both hygienists are excellent, but the rest of the staff is UNCONCERNED--one member nodded her head rather than say hello. I "requested a written estimate" because the "verbal estimate" did not state what is/isn't included. I was told one price at the office but the written estimate was $3500 higher--TELLS YOU SOMETHING about this money grabbing dive. I was supposed to have surgery & when I arrived, I was told it was only "a consult" for which I waited THREE HOURS in vain so I took my business elsewhere. This is the WORST incompetent office unfortunately I ever went to. As of May 10, 2022 I have requested #3 times an accounting of my last bill which they "DELIBERATELY IGNORED" & today the rude receptionist hung up. I will contact the NJ Medical/Denistry Board to file a complaint . Stay away from this $$ hungry dive. I would like to hear them deny anything I said in my review. "WORST DIVE EVER"

I also agree about the financial situation. Reviewed by another person. I ultimately ended up leaving this practice and I'm still dealing with some issues because of bad finances .....they set up payment plans and take money from your account, but still throw accounts to collections. The financial coordinator claim that insurance doesn't pay even though you have a breakdown from your insurance (explanation of benefits) really suspicious.... Just be careful

I returned to Dr. Ekstein office after few years living in another state, and found the same excellence in smile design! Dr. Ekstein work changed my smile and my confidence in a very positive way. Plus, today I had the best teeth hygienist, Francis, who impressed me with her thoroughness and how well I felt after. Thank you!

If I could I would give dr. Ekstein 0 stars, I had a set of dentures done with him and it has been the worst work I ever had. It has been 2 years, I could not afford to pay again, which is what he proposed if I wanted another set of dentures. Teeth keep falling off, is a disgrace to his profession. I am having to pay another $12K to somebody else to have a good product. Do not let dr. Ekstein take your money. Definitively I don't recommend him. Run away.

The most professional office I have ever been to. Staff is courteous and extremely knowledgeable, the hygienist is the best I have ever experienced. Dr Rich and his practice is the best in the business, IMHO.

I had some work done today and met Dr. Ekstein's assistant today. She was very personable and absolutely wonderful. She explained everything before it was done to increase my comfort level. I have never felt more at ease at a dentist's office as I have today. Her added distraction while I was getting my numbing shot was unexpected and very effective. Wow!

Best dentist I've ever been to! The staff is excellent - down to earth and super friendly. Dr. Ekstein is truly a gentle man.

I was a patient of Dr Eckstein at his prior location of the smile center. I left because of bad financial dealings and trust issues. I hoped this experience would be different. Unfortunately that followed to his new location. The staff was great. But don't let that fool you and keep your receipts. I've always made a point of paying for my procedures upfront only to be surprised months later that oh we did an audit and you owe us 300. Trust to me is very important when picking a dentist especially when it comes to my dental work since there are so many out to cash in on your pain. They may have changed the name, but not the practice.

as someone who recently had an implant placed on a posterior tooth, i was looking for a dentist with prosthodontics training. Dr Ekstein is so knowledgeable about making sure you have that strong, comfortable, natural bite. Grateful to him, Kim and the entire team for coordinating my care.

One of the worst dental offices I have ever been to. The staff is beyond rude on the phone and via email. The dentist will over charge you for a simple teeth cleaning and claim your insurance does not cover and expect you to pay out of pocket. I continually get harassed by this company front desk via email, phone and mail. Don't waste your time and get stuck with a high price bill for a service that is mediocre.
