These Dentist are very vested,in the community. They recognize the need for dental care and are caring individuals. They suggested a root canal that can be done in the office and was told that it would either need done now or later. I decided to give the tooth some time to settle and choose the later option. Since then I have attended the local dental college for cleaning and exams. They have been watching it and so far so good. When the time comes I will contact Dr. Friedmans office again.

Honestly I am not sure about the date of service. However I did not have a local dentist and I had a toothache in my front. The office is clean but in need of an update in the waiting room! This however has nothing to do with the quality of service.

My dentist retired, so I had to find a new one. I hate to go to the dentist, but he made me feel comfortable. It took about 2 and half weeks to get a schedule. It wasn't an emergency, and they asked me when I called if I was in any pain, and I told them no. The office is nice and relaxed. It is as nice as any dentists office could be.

My dentist is Steve Grater. I last saw him about a month ago. He filled a cavity for me, and I had my teeth cleaned.

This practice was recommended by Angies List and my family and I could not be more in agreement. We have seen both Drs. Friedman and Grater. Both of them are excellent clinicians with a terrific chair side manner. The staff is friendly engaging and engaged and most efficient. Although this may seem more anecdotal than quantitative we are always impressed by the general positive attitude in the office. It means a lot to be seen by a provider whose staff like the patients and their jobs. Highly recommend this wonderful practice.

The whole procedure went smoothly. I first had the mold of the crown made and then three weeks later it was placed on the implant post in my mouth., All details of what is being done and what is to be done were explained. Dr. Friedman and the staff are very professional and friendly.

It always goes well with Dr. Grater. He and the entire staff are the best dental staff I have ever encountered, and I have been seeing a dentist for....over 40 years. Dr. Grater is so personable and friendly, and very attentive to the individual needs of his patients. He knows my worst fear is pain, and has always made sure I am completely comfortable. I have been seeing him for approximately 18 years and he has provided checkups, fillings, root canals, filling replacements, and crowns for me. I wouldn't go any where else.

I was having a dental emergency and was having pain. They were able to get me in for an appointment within one day. Dr. Friedman was great at explaining everything and referred me to a specialist to get their opinion and possibly treatment. I made the appointment with the specialist and they told me I would have to wait 2 weeks to get in. When I called back to let Dr. Friedman know when the appointment was scheduled they must have called the specialists office because I received a phone call shortly from them getting me in the very next day. I had a great experience with both Dr. Friedman's office and with the specialist. Everyone at Dr. Friedman's office was very friendly. I deal with many medical problems that can make dental and medical care difficult but they were great about working with these problems. I will be switching to them for my dental care from now on. I would highly recommend them.

Dr Grater is extremely easy to relate to. He is very competent. He is socially oriented. Never appears to be under a time crunch.

I went in for a cleaning. I had previously gone in for a crown replacement. He also did a repair job on an area that a previous dentist had messed up on.

Great experience - friendly, fast and took time to explain each step of my procedure. I am so glad I came here, Dr, Friedman is my new permanent dentist for sure!

I broke a tooth on Sunday called at 8 on Monday morning and I was in the office at 10 AM having it fixed! Everyone was very very friendly and helpful. So glad I picked this dentist based on previous Angie's reviews.

The entire team of Friedman/Grater could not have put me more at ease-- they were friendly, prompt, helpful and took the time to answer all of my questions. Dr. Grater is a gem. My experience with them made me actually happy to book my next appointment to continue my ongoing treatment. It was impressive they priced out what each appointment would be (including insurance) up front-- which was a definite help. There was no guessing game what the billing would be. I truly recommend this practice to anyone!

I was extremely impressed with Dr. Sisler's expertise, professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile, even if he had to eat the cost. He didn't just deal with the immediate problem, i.e stopping the pain. He noticed that my tooth had a slight crack and wanted to make sure my bite was adjusted properly so that the probelm wouldn't recur. He was meticulous in creating a molded copy of my teeth and again, he told me that if my insurance didn't cover it he wouldn't charge me. It took a couple more appointments than normal to work all this out, but in the end I felt confident that everything had been done to assure his fix would last as long as possible. This group of doctors and their entire staff are second to none!

This is really a review on all three dentists in this practice. They are ALL top-notch. I usually see Dr. Friedman, but my wife goes to Dr. Grater and my most recent experience was with Dr. Sisler, who I saw when I had a dental emergency and needed a quick root canal and crown.

Update 8/9/12: BEWARE..........This is a up date from my last review of this Dentist . I had received a letter in the mail on August 8, 2012 that this dentist will no longer provide me with service. Just last week they called to set up another appointment for a filling then I get this letter. The only thing I have done is write a review on here last week about their billing practice.. I believe that they had seen my review on here . Now I am with out a Dentist because of speaking up about a billing practice. I also believe they did not want to deal with someone who has a brain injury due from a stroke .
Description of Work
I was given an written estimate of work to be done.My appointments were broken down to 3 visits around three months . My insurance was maxed out for the year so i had to pay out a pocket. I was told that my last visit would be around $ 250.00 .When I went to pay they said it was only $68.00 . I had asked for an estimate for another tooth that needed to be filled. They said they would call the next day to let me know the cost. The next day came and went with out a call from them. This was not the first time calls ,were not returned. I also received in the mail a insurance statement saying the provider agreed not to bill me for any balance remaining. So what happens , I get a bill for 188.00 .They have a sign in there office that says payment due upon service . They want you to pay at the time of service but then they want you to pay again later.

Service Provider Response
First, I would like to make it clear that we did not see this review until about a month ago when we were deciding whether to participate with Angie's List. So no, we did not terminate this patient because of a bad review. I take all reviews seriously and would try to rectify any issues as best as possible. This patient did not understand their insurance. We do participate which means that we do not bill for services that we agree to adjust inline with our participating insurance agreements. That said, unfortunately, this patient was quite out of line and hostile to our front desk staff. I have a wonderful staff and they are people who work very hard everyday with the public and do their very best to help patients understand and work with their insurance. When accusations are made because an individual doesn't comprehend their benefits, and reacts in a way that intimidates and disturbs our front staff, then that person needs to seek treatment in an office that is better able to suit their needs. That was the nature of this patient encounter.06/27/2012

I have been very satisfied with my experiences with Dr. Friedman. He is a very nice person. He has a great personality and really puts you at ease. He is very informative. He answers all of your questions and will address any treatments or issues. He explains everything he does in detail and discusses pros and conns of each. He has been able to accomidate emergencies when needed as well. The office is very pleasant. I've never waited more than just a few minutes beyond my appointment time to se him. The staff is very friendly. I will continue to use him in the future.

Service is prompt and professional. Each regular patient is assigned a Dental Hygentist. All employees at the practice are courteous. Dr. Grater is very competent and knowledgeable with dentistry performed on my teeth. Their pricing seems to be within industry norm. Even though they were not a participating carrier under my dental insurance (Eastern Ins), my routine visits were still covered at 100% and no out of pocket cost on my behalf. Their dentistry practice is very good with children. They are highly recommended.
Description of Work
Dr. Steven Grater is a dentist and partner with Friedman, Grater, & Sisler. I have received nothing but great service by Dr. Grater and his practice in general. I was referred to them by my wife, my sister, & a family friend. All these people had nothing but positive things to say about their practice. For routine check-ups, I am assigned the same Dental Hygentist every visit in addition to dentist. My prior dentist, I never saw the same Hygentist. There seems to be very little employee turnover in their practice which speaks volumns about a good working environment. The people from the front desk, hygentist, & dentists are all very friendly. I did have an issue with an abscess(painful) and a loose crown(on my front tooth) and they were able to schedule me immediately. Best of all about their practice, my children love going to the dentist! Their practice is very children friendly. They will submit for all insurance (participating and nonparticipating) and have been very flexibile in waiting to see what insurance reimburses before requesting payment. This policy may be based upon patient payment history.

Dr. Friedman has been my dentist since 1980. He is a outstanding dentist. He cares about his patients. He even works with you on paying for his services before I had dental insurance. I had a cavity filled within 10 minutes, a record. As a dentist goes, mostly pain free.
