“Dr. Boris is a very attentive, experienced and superb dentist. I have been going to him for over 20 years and he has always taken good care of me. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wishes to receive good dental care.”
Anne M.May 2, 2023
“Dr. Boris Temkin is brilliant, kind, patient, gentle, and attentive. His staff is spectacular and I have never, ever, in my entire life, been treated with so much respect and concern at a dentist's office or any other doctor's office. They were planning around my needs, my insurance limitations, and my schedule. People of such high integrity and kindness took excellent care of me from the sweet person at the front desk all the way to the doctor, himself. I went to Dr. Temkin because I could not get hold of my own dentist with my urgent need. After only one visit to this dentist's office, I believe I am ready to switch dentists permanently. I am beyond grateful!”

Best dentist experience I’ve ever had. I normally hate going to the dentist but had such a positive experience here. Very clean, personable team, minimal wait time, and a relaxing environment. The hygienist took her time gently cleaning my teeth and explaining everything she was seeing. And Dr Boris filled 2 cavities of mine so quickly and efficiently. I left work at 230 and was back by 315. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
December 18, 2018Kimberly K.Verified patient
Highly professional and nice Doctor.
December 13, 2016Elena R.Verified patient
I went to see Dr Boris for follow up visit after my regular cleaning, and was in and out in under 30 minutes. Very professional, knows what he is doing, and plays good music in the office. I've been seeing him for 2 years and it's always been a pleasure.
October 27, 2016Matt R.Verified patient
The office staff was very nice and waited very little to see the dentist. The Dr. was nice but very brief and quick in his exam and didn't really explain much.

Dr. Boris and his staff are friendly and professional, he explained all my issues and what needs to be done. The place looks clean and the location is convenient. I can't tell to much because I just did a consultation on my first visit but I will probably consider visiting him again.
January 14, 2014Roberto S.Verified patient
I think he's a great dentist - professional and friendly. I'm also a little OCD about cleanliness and this office is spotless.
Wonderful & friendly receptionist btw. Really helpful. :)

I have been postponing a trip to the dentins for the longest time. Dr. Temkin came highly recommended from a friend of mine and I've finally decided to schedule a cleaning. My usual dread of visiting a dentist was quickly dissipated by the most charming and cheerful receptionist I've ever encountered at any doctor's office. The rest of the staff was just as friendly and very professional. There was no wait time and the office was clean and tidy with some very unusual but very cool dental-themed paintings on the walls. Both the hygienist and the doctor put me at ease and listened to my concerns carefully giving plenty of good advice. I felt truly cared for on a personal level and not just like a small part of a profit-turning medical institution. Next, I'm setting-up an appointment for my mother!
