Everything was super quick and efficient! Staff was really nice and Dr. Solovey was on point with his work.
Verified patient
So great. I'm sad I didn't get names but the receptionist was so knowledgeable and helped me understand so many things about insurance policies and types. The hygienist was also incredible. She said she was a bit rough but her technique was very gentle. I asked to get anesthetic for the cleaning and I barely felt any of the needles go in. So fantastic

Verified patient
It was brief. However, it was very abrupt. No smile , No interest no human-like qualities.
Verified patient
Fast and efficient. The office could be a bit cleaner. Other than that they’re great
He is very rough as dentist. Shows no compassion. I did not feel comfortable.
Love it here! They always take us right away and are finished quickly.
Verified patient
Dr was great I was able to get an extraction and and a clean up!
Verified patient
Terrible, gruff, and aggressive. He smells like cigarettes.
Dr Solovey was very impatient and agitated at me yelling and raising his hands in the air with much frustration blaming me for the crown that did not fit. He became very aggressive driving the needle through my gum three times to numb and remove the crown, causing excruciating initial pain. I was mortified. I cried through the entire procedure and he just continued roughly working. I will not recommend this dentist.

Straightforward, efficient, and pleasant.

I didn’t really deal with Dr. Solovey so this rating is more about what I saw from him and my experience with the dental hygienist. First, the receptionist was great-she was friendly and patient with me when I couldn’t find my insurance card and got everything squared away. The woman who took my x-ray was sweet and patient. I did not like the way Dr. Solovey spoke to his staff. He was rude and unprofessional and chastised them in front of patients. I nearly walked out but knew I wouldn’t make another dental appointment elsewhere if I did. The hygienist was nice enough but she was so ridiculously rough with me. I told her I have a fear of dentists and asked her to be gentle. She laughed and said, “of course” and proceeded to give me the roughest deep cleaning I have ever experienced. She kept commenting on sensitive my gums are-which may be true, but I have had plenty of experiences where I wasn’t wincing every second. She just wasn’t very good at her job. She seemed like she was in a rush. There’s not reason why you can’t be both gentle and thorough. I came in because I thought I had a cavity but it was just discoloration if a filling. She recommended a deep cleaning and wanted to deal with the discoloration on my next visit. I told her I preferred to do it then since I was already there. She said I had been through enough and insisted it be dealt with when I came back. I had to argue with her and finally told her I wouldn’t be coming back so she had Dr. Solovey polish my tooth for about 5 seconds, which wasn’t at all painful, and it was done. That really bothers me. It was the worst dental appointment I’ve ever had. I will never go back.
Visit was fast and went smooth. Appt time was 2:30 I arrived at 2:25 and was seen immediately after I finished filling out the new patient forms and out by 3:05 that’s including an X-ray and cleaning...I have no complaints
Verified patient
Dr Solovey was concise and professional.
Verified patient
Not a long wait a’tall. Efficient and courteous staff. The hygienist was very nice but she used KGB interrogation techniques to clean my teeth lol.
Verified patient
Dr. Alexander Solovey is very professional and has always done outstanding dental work in my mouth. I've been his patient for over fifteen years and have recommended him on numerous occasions. I'm glad he is younger than I am so I not worried about having to look else where for expert

Down to earth person. There to accommodate your needs with optional services and isn't afraid to respect your discomfort with new or existing procedures. Fast and efficient.
Verified patient
The dentist was helpful and professional.
Verified patient
The best thing about this practice is its administration. I arrived 20 minutes early for my appointment--they took me immediately, I had a cleaning and then a small procedure done, and I was out before my scheduled appointment time! I LOVE a practice that keeps its appointments timely! Dr. Solovey's bedside manner was fine. Nothing to write home about, but totally adequate. Nurses and staff were friendly and helpful. Overall an excellent experience.
Verified patient
I went in for a cleaning The only problem I have is that they need to explain what they are about to do to your mouth before they do it.
Verified patient
Professional' and prompt
Verified patient
Great dentist great staff!
Verified patient
He was great, I am afraid of pain, & he made me feel at ease no pain. Great. MY friend was right when she recommended him, I'll keep him and sure to tell all my friends. I have a lot..great DDS.
Verified patient
It was okay, but it should have been made clear to me during my previous visit and extraction that a month had to elapse before approval for a crown could be gotten from my insurance carrier. Today was when Dr. Solovey said that he could make request for approval to do the work. Now, I discover that it will take another four weeks. That will be two months since the extraction.
I was looking for someone to help me resolve my toothache and although he isn't an oral surgeon he was very resourceful with helping me find an oral surgeon.
Verified patient
Doctor was quite pushy and nonchalant
So great! I had a problem with my insurance and Dr. Solovey was so kind about it. Also was quick, efficient, and professional. Looking forward to my next visit!
Verified patient
Staff is professional and friendly.
Verified patient
He's a smoker so expect to have cigarette fingers in your mouth. I had to go back to replace a filling that fell out within three or four months of him putting it in. He also added some extra filling material to an unrelated upper tooth with no real explanation, and it was just a big blob of it, way too much for the tooth, and caused tremendous jaw pain. Never again.
I had to get a root kanal and was scared to death of the pain I was gonna go through before and after but thanks to Dr. Solovey the visit was easy and painless. Not to mention I was able to eat again with absolutely no pain in an hour.
Verified patient
Dr. Solovey was honest and straightforward about the work I needed to be done. He's very conscious of budget and time. I will be back again.
Verified patient
He was pleasant. Got to my appointment late, but was seen in less than 15 mins. He is thorough and knows what he is doing. I would recommend him.
Needed a wisdom tooth pulled badly. My visit was quick, easy, and pretty painless. He then called me the next day to check on me.
He is an amazing doctor. As much as i do not like dentists, this was the first time that I felt at ease I highly recommend this dentist to everyone!!!
