November 9, 2026Kimberlie M.Verified patient
The X-ray tech, and the front desk staff were all friendly. That's where the positives end.
The hygienist was the worst part of the visit. She didn't seem focused on her work, her technique felt sloppy, and she spent the cleaning lecturing me about sealants. She was playing dentist, well beyond her role. I was uncomfortable enough to stop the cleaning.
The dentist clearly has experience, but listening isn't her strength. She seemed more interested in pitching me Invisalign than in the reason I came in. I had to focus her.
Then there was the "care plan." It wasn't a care plan. It was a contract, with pricing terms they told me to my face it didn't have. The financial coordinator either wasn't being honest or hadn't read what she was asking me to sign.
Overall, the office felt predatory. Upselling a patient who is lying back in the chair with tools in their mouth takes advantage of a vulnerable moment. A dental visit shouldn't feel like a sales appointment. I won't be back.

Super nice and attentive staff. Very communicative about all the procedural things, super helpful with finances, and clear on next steps. I don't think I met the actual dentist today. Not 100% sure, so could use improvements on introductions. Ultimately very clean, very friendly

The office is fantastic! They have two specialist an orthodontist and a perio surgeon. I needed visits with both and I love that they are all in the same office. I can't recommend enough Dr.Azar, Dr.Song and Dr. Gordon are fantastic!!!

Everyone on the staff is very friendly including front desk, doctors, x ray tech, and hygienist. The hygienist was very thorough and made sure I was comfortable and took the time to talk to me about the best ways to care for my teeth. Would highly recommend to anyone.

The hygienist was very informative and explained everything she was doing and why? She also provided information with regard to maintaining good oral hygiene. I would say she and the Office Staff provided Plus 1 customer service.

Friendly staff and Dr Azar is excellent
March 7, 2024Kim O.Verified patient
I find it very difficult to schedule with the office. My appointments are frequently canceled or rescheduled the week or a few days before the appointment. Communication is not great during appointments and procedures are not explained prior to work starting, including shaving my teeth during Invisalign treatment. I should have been informed about this.

I really appreciate the personal touch your given when you go to the office. I've gone to different Drs and you are just a number but here they are very attentive to your individual needs. Dr. Azar will take her time with you and explain every aspect of the treatment. So far I am pleased with my treatment.
June 7, 2017Sandra R.Verified patient
Dr Azar is amazing! She is very personable and attentive to my needs. Very accommodating. She came in on her day off to see me for an emergency. Wonderful person, Great staff, and comfortable atmosphere. I would strongly recommend Montclair South Dental.
