The doctor did not introduce herself to me and the entire staff speaks another language, so they are always talking in front of you in another language and it is very uncomfortable.

The visit went well Dr Keiner explained everything to me and my cleaning was done very gentle. I recommend this dentist
I am a 42 year old African American male and I have had many experiences in the dentist chair. My experiences have all been relatively decent though I will say I'm no fan of the experience in general. That said, my recent visit with Dr. Kelner was the most uninformative, unwelcoming and most painful I've had to date.
I switched from my assigned primary dentist to Dr. Kelner because of the ZocDoc reviews that were so favorable for her (and because of the bad reviews for my assingned dentist). Her receptionist/assistant was decent to me though never did I feel especially welcomed, though that didn't bother me all that much. The first thing I noticed upon meeting Dr. Kelner was a look of disappointment. I won't try to establish why this might have been the case but it was completely apparent and discomforting. After telling her about a pain on the upper left side of my mouth she spent one (1) minute investigating my mouth to find nothing wrong. She then had her receptionist/assistant take upwards of 6 x-rays. And then there was the cleaning. I did not come for a cleaning I merely wanted to get a consultation, but a cleaning was offered so I gladly excepted thanking her for making time as she was tending to two other patients simultaneously with me going from room to room. She was most insensitive, carving away at my teeth like a carpenter to wood. As I squirmed in the chair in obvious agony her only conciliatory act was to say "I know, I know" as she continued to aggressively grind away at my mouth.
I will never go to her again and I would recommend that unless you really like pain and like to feel unimportant to stay away from this dentist.

I was shown extra care and concern for my children and myself. It felt good to have that one to one so many health professionals have forgotten.

I brought my 4 month old baby boy, and the receptionist was so helpful entertaining him when I was in the chair. Very nice.
The cleaning was not so bad either- I remember getting a cleaning from a previous dentist, and I felt like I was being butchered!

Dr. Kelner and her staff helped me deal with my fear of dentists. Despite the amont of dental work that needed to be done in just one sitting, I was made comfortable and pain free. I would highly recommend to all, specially patients that are apprehensive about having to sit in a dentist's chair.

She was an extremely nice and compassionate Dr. whom didnt make me feel the least bit bad about the condition of my teeth.
