Pleasant environment, friendly staff. Staff said my previously-entered ZocDoc information "did not come through". I had to complete information forms again at the appointment.

First time patient. Upon arriving, I was seen in under 5 minutes. Staff was friendly and engaging. For my cleaning, Dr. Faber conducted the entire procedure and was engaging, pragmatic, and answered all questions.
Finding a trustworthy dentist in NY has been a struggle, but I'm very happy I found Dr. Faber.

Went in for what I though was a consultation and routine cleaning and left with most of my molars gone ! Was not a happy camper I never went back for the follow up procedure .
April 22, 2017Jonathan L.Verified patient
The wait time was quick but the treatment was not at all what I expected based on reading the reviews. He barely looked at my teeth and would not explain a spot that showed in the X-Ray. Told me it was a filling when I said I never had a filling before he insisted I did. No other possible explanations were given to me.

The office was a little tricky to find, but once inside, the wait was very short.
However, I do wish that Dr. Faber was more engaging during my cleaning. It seems somewhat transactional.
December 15, 2014Initials hidden
The front desk is horrible and unresponsive to concerns or complaints- phone calls and emails go completely unanswered. The absolute worst customer service possible. Dr. Faber recommended his son, Marc, for invisalign. After a 4 month wait tor receive the first tray and multiple unsuccessfull appointments to place attachments I gave up and changed to another dentist. What a waste of time and money. DO NOT GO HERE!!
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
Dr. Faber was a fine fellow, and I appreciate his sense of humor, too. But, although his office claimed to participate in my insurance plan (Healthplex), they tried to get me to pay out of pocket for things that were included in the plan. I since changed to a different dental office and had everything taken care of with just my copay, instead of the substantial amount I'd have had to pay here.
November 21, 2014Initials hidden
I usually don't write reviews, but I feel a sense of obligation to inform people about this office. I should start off by saying that Dr. Faber barely took the time to look at my teeth. This visit was mostly handled by his hygienist. The hygienist was very rough and left cuts all over my gums. I was told that I had two cavities and needed scaling done. I am 26 years old and have only had two cavities in my life time, so I decided to get a second opinion from another dentist in the area. Thank God. Not only did I have NO CAVITIES, but I was told that I had very healthy gums. The dentist and his staff couldn't believe that they were going to try scaling my gums.
DO NOT TRUST THIS OFFICE.

Dr Faber was very thorough and explained the problem and treatment options with care and professionalism. I liked his communicating style being clear and to the point.

January 14, 2014Zalia A.Verified patient
Dr. Faber seemed tentative and uncertain in his examinations, which didn't instill a lot of confidence in his abilities. He and his staff are friendly and professional, but I've found a better dentist.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
My visit went very well. Dr Faber did everything necessary to find the cause of my pain. Unfortuantely, it was a matter of me biting down the wrong way, so there was nothing he could do. But I do appreciate him seeing me and letting me know that it was nothing serious. I will be contacting him in a few days to schedule a regular appt for myself and my daughter.

Haven't been to a dentist in a while so I was kind of nervous. The staff was super friendly and the location was easy to get to. It was a cute and quaint little office. I had to wait a little bit, but that was totally fine with me. It certainly wasn't longer than 20 minutes.
I went in for a cleaning & Dr. Faber was super friendly. He has a funny sense of humor, and tries to talk to you. The cleaning overall went great, and I am very happy with him as my new dentist.

Dr. Faber and his staff were fantastic! I came in with a toothache, and they took care of it right away, and made sure that I understood everything, from the procedure to my insurance policy. They were warm and friendly, and worked very well and quickly. Looks like I've found my New York dentist! :)
August 24, 2011Sasha M.Verified patient
I thought Dr. Faber was very down-to-earth and direct. I went in for a second opinion, and he gave me clear cut options, dispelled some urgent concerns I had, and treated the problem right away and with minimal discomfort. I am glad to have seen him, and plan to return. His staff was also kind and helpful.
August 22, 2011Initials hidden
Faber is no nonsense. I appreciate that quality in a doctor because he told me EXACTLY what the problem was. Although my insurance did not cover this offices' visit, it turned out that I had absolutely nothing wrong with my teeth except for TMJ (he advised a non evasive procedure in which I will follow up). My other dentist wanted to do a few root canals and teeth extractions... unbelievable. Faber is literally saint that saved me thousands of dollars worth of unnecessary and painful procedures. The only thing I have to do is floss, floss, and floss! Thank you very much.

June 9, 2010Frances H.Verified patient
As soon as I sat down in the waiting room, one of Dr. Faber's assistants got me in the chair. Dr. Faber completed a thorough exam with X-rays in a short amount of time. Dr. Faber explained me what he found and what my options are. He did not force me to get a specific procedure but rather helped me make the decision. I have been to other dentists who try to only do the most expensive procedures. Dr. Faber is not one of them. I would highly recommend Dr. Faber because he does the right thing
