In addition, Dr. Feigelson received extensive training in anesthesia which led to his becoming New York State Certified in the use of intravenous and oral sedation. The credentialing process was rigid, and Dr. Feigelson is one of a only a few General Dentists in the region with the ability to offer sedation to those of his patients who prefer to be asleep or in a state of total relaxation for their treatment.
Dr. Feigelson attended the year-long Maxi-Course in Oral Implantology where he received training by many of the leaders in the field of Implantology. Dr. Feigelson is currently Associate Clinical Professor, Graduate Program in the Department of Dentistry at the University Medical Center at Stony Brook.
As a highly active member within organized dentistry, Dr. Feigelson is currently the Vice-President of the Suffolk County Dental Society, Delegate for the New York State Dental Association, member of the Peer Review Committee, and the Suffolk County Give Kids a Smile program.
As soon as you enter the office of Dr. Feigelson you will realize that it is like no office you have seen before. With relaxing music, flavored coffee and tea,waterfall, and soothing architectural features, you will find it hard to believe that you are in a dental office at all.
Our office is not just about comfort. We go above and beyond what is required to create a sterile environment. The entire treatment area gets scrubbed down and disinfected before you are brought in. Whatever instruments are not disposed of, get autoclaved and separately wrapped. The surfaces that are in the greatest contact are wrapped with a disposable barrier.
Once the treatment room is scrubbed down with disinfectant, and all high-contact areas are re-wrapped, those instruments that are not disposable get brought to the sterilization room. It is here that the instruments get chemically disinfected in an ultrasonic cleaner.
Then, after mechanically cleaning them further, they get wrapped and sealed in autoclave bags. The sealed instruments then get placed in an autoclave, which is like a special oven that sterilizes the instruments under high temperature and pressure. Once the instruments complete this process, the sealed, sterile instruments do not get opened again until you are seated.
Digital Radiography Allows us to take and immediately view enlarged digital images of your teeth. Besides being exposed to up to 90% less radiation than conventional radiographs, you are also able to view the images on the screen in front of you. This allows us to be better able to educate those of our patients who want to know more about their oral health.

I'm a new patient and this dentist and his office have made me feel very comfortable and welcome. Light and bright atmosphere with an actually good music playlist (no sleepy elevator-type stuff) and friendly staff all around. I appreciate that they're close by to where I work so it's not a pain to get there any time of day. They even mailed me a personalized letter thanking me for choosing them and included a cute little 2023 calendar.

.y husband has tried other dentist ocervtgebyesrs and sonhavebu buy never have we found a more gentle compassionate and skilled dentist like our Dr F. You will be amazed at how quickly he gets the work done w many professional tools at his disposal. I can't say enough good things about our dentist. We have recommended him to the rest of our family who also agree. See for yourself. Just call his office where his wonderful staff will assist you.

I am TERRIFIED of dentists and have had nothing but bad experiences for 30 years until I found Dr. F. He doesn't make you feel like a freak for being afraid- he's so calm and gentle and takes his time to explain everything he's going to do goes very slowly if you need it and let's you ask questions (which is rare for Drs these days) and won't put a finger in your mouth until YOU are ready. His goal (and skill) is to do what he did with me- to take you from general anesthesia to sedation to sweet air until you are comfortable enough to need nothing- and at your own pace. (I'm still at sweet air) Which also shows that he's not trying to milk you for every dime. His staff are kind and charming and remember your name and your specific fears- the music in the rooms is great! Not too loud and crazy but also not sleepy elevator music. He's a wiz with a needle- I have small hardly visible veins that phlebotomists find difficult and he has tricks that got it on the first try. The day after every serious procedure I had - I received a text from Dr. F asking how I was doing and if I had any questions- I mean- WHO DOES THAT?!? He really has a personal touch with all of his patients and treats them as individuals which really makes a difference. I really can't recommend him enough! If you're scared of dentists or even just want a Dentist that gives a F - GO SEE HIM! You will NOT regret it!

I have been seeing Dr Feigelson since 2011. This is the first and only dentist I've EVER looked forward to going to! He is patient , gentle and a perfectionist ! He is fair with pricing and his work is superb! I was so self conscious about my front teeth and smile for years now. I'm 63 and over the years had a great deal of mediocre dental work. Finally , 2 weeks ago I decided to bite the bullet ( no pun intended ) and have Dr Feigelson do what he thought best . He suggested I have crowns made for my front teeth. . I can't believe how QUICKLY he transformed my smile and my self confidence ! Dr Feigelson is in a league of his own!!!! I can't say enough great things about him and his brilliant meticulous work!! The office personnel are all warm, friendly and very competent ! They've all been with the Dr for many years which speaks for itself ! It's almost like seeing friends when I go, that's how special they make me feel . They are terrific ! I never thought I'd feel this way about going to the dentist !! Thank you Dr Feigelson ! I love my new smile !!!

Professional, caring, thorough. Coordinated care with an anesthesiologist for my 10-year-old who required sedation and made him feel very comfortable. Worked quickly and efficiently to minimize the duration of the procedure. Did not do anything that wasn't needed. Highly recommend.

Forty years of dental fear disappeared almost instantly when I visited Dr. Feigelson. I would unconditionally recommend him to anyone who fears or has had negative experiences with dental care.

Nice office staff. Dr. Gottlieb does a really good job of working wit people that are generally fearful of dentists. The building is in a fairly good location. However, you can easily miss the building if you've never been there before. The next time I'm there, I'll take a picture from across the street

I went to Dr. Feigelson in July 2017. I had severe nerve sensitivity in a molar tooth that cracked. He said that I needed a crown. When I asked if I needed a root canal, he told me that wouldn't be necessary. I had anesthesia for the procedure because I cannot stand dental work. After having my temporary crown put on, the very next day my gums became inflamed & swollen. I felt like someone ripped my gums open with a knife. After a few days of hoping it would subside, I made an appointment with him to check my gums. He didn't seem to have an answer as to what caused this & he prescribed me antibiotics. A week and s half later when I went back to have my permanent crown put on, I told him that I still had nerve pain in that tooth. He asked me if I had tooth pain & I clarified again that I had nerve pain. He didn't seem too concerned & did my permanent crown even though I still had nerve pain. After two weeks of having he permanent crown, I called his office to let him know I still had nerve pain. Dr. Feigelson was very aloof on the phone when he called me back. He essentially blamed me for not doing a root canal on me. He said, "In hindsight, I probably should have done a root canal on you, but being you had such a great fear of the dentist, I didn't." I told him that I was under anesthesia, so he could have done any procedure that he thought would be necessary. Dr. Feigelson further added, "As far as your concern over spending money on the anestesia, you would have had to pay for it twice because I wouldn't have been able to do a root canal & a crown on the same day." He had some nerve sending me a bill for the $200 that my insurance didn't cover!! I have no intension of paying his remaining $200 bill because I have chronic tooth pain on a daily basis. I would not go to this man even if he was the last dentist on Earth!! I guess he's Ok with the fact that my tooth is in pain everyday & I essentially paid $2000 to fix a tooth that feels the same as before it was "fixed".

Dr. Feigelson has been my dentist since the early 90's when I moved into the Smithtown area. I have visited Dr. Feigelson's office countless times over the past 25 years for a wide variety of procedures. Based on my long time experience with Dr. Feigelson and his Staff, I'd recommend Dr. Feigelson's Practice to anyone who is in need of a great dentist. My wife and daughters are now patients of Dr. Feigelson and they feel the same way as well.

After my father retired from dentistry, having treated me since I was a kid, I needed to find a new dentist. I was also in need of a "facelift" given much of the cosmetic dental work I had was done over 30 years ago. Luck would have it I was referred to Dr. Feigelson! I just finished my treatment and can only say what an incredible experience it was working with Dr. Feigelson and his staff. All of the work was done pain free, with significant attention to every detail and done so in a reasonable time to accommodate my schedule. Dr. Feigelson included me in the development of my treatment plan, explaining all the details along the way. The end result is a new level of confidence I have in my "expression" of happiness with a much bigger smile :) than I have ever had before! I don't want to be too dramatic, but it is "life changing" to not have to think twice about my smile. I have a great appreciation for the quality and commitment you have to your profession. My Dad thanks you for taking me on as a patient! Happy New Year!

I have been going to Dr. Feigelson for many years. That and the fact that I travel from my home in Stony Brook to his office in Commack, passing by many other dental offices, is a testament of the value of care I receive from him and his staff.
