All of the staff was very kind. Dr Lazar was patient, knowledgeable, and talked me through the process which was helpful. I am not good with dental appointments but he set me at ease.
If I had a negative, the suite number is listed at 104, but they’re located in suite 400. I think they recently moved (address is the same just moved to a different floor)
April 15, 2023Pam O.Verified patient
Dr. Lazar was polite and professional. Made me feel comfortable from the start and did not feel embarrassed. Made me laugh a handful of times and made the visit much more enjoyable!
March 3, 2023Jan A.Verified patient
Dr. Lazar was great. He explained everything in great detail. He addressed all my concern and explained all of my options I had. More importantly, he made me feel welcomed and in great hands. After telling him I have neglected teeth and haven't been to a dentist in a couple of years. His kindness, his understanding and his professionalism put any shame and embarrassment I had to rest. I'm now proud to show my smile. I'll be seeing him again in 6 months for my routine cleaning/checkup. (As everyone should) He is now my dentist.I would recommend this doctor to everyone.

Dr. Lazar and his staff were amazing. Office called me to confirm my appointment. I was actually seen by Dr. Lazar on SUNDAY! Very accommodating. Doctor explained everything clearly. Options on treatment and payment, and proceeded to perform 2 root canal treatments. Would highly recommend Dr. Lazar and Genesis staff.

Dr. Lazar treats myself and other family members who live near by. He’s a kind, attentive doctor who makes you feel at ease and explains everything clearly. I’m very happy to be a patient here and recommend them whenever anyone says they need a dentist.
September 5, 2022Mohini P.Verified patient
I really loved this doctor! He was genuinely nice and very gentle with the progress.. The office staff was OK, bu the Dr was the one that did it for me. He was very funny while doing the cleaning ( making good jokes) which I liked because he made me forget about it a little bit ( I'm a little afraid of dentists lol) but he made it a good experience. I will definitely come back every 6 months and I will bring my husband with me!
May 4, 2022Leidy Y G.Verified patient

May 31, 2021John B.Verified patient
Sometimes the time on Zocdoc is not up to date, so it may be a good idea to call the practice and confirm the appointment time. They were still able to see me within 30 minutes of me getting there, which I was happy about.

Unfortunately was not impressed. I think he spent a total of 7 minutes cleaning my teeth, it seemed super rushed and incomplete. The patients’ comfort level didn’t seem to be a priority. This was after waiting over an hour to be seen.
