Probably one of the best dental appointment experience Ive had. Front desk was so helpful, called me and my referring dentist to make sure they had everything they needed prior to me even leaving to get there. It was an emergency root canal and they didnt want me to have to wait too long so went above and beyond.
Once i got there they were so nice and put me at ease. Very friendly and really made sure I was comfortable the whole time.

An absolute incredible experience during my visit with Dr. Zelig. Never knew root canals were painless, I honestly didn't feel a thing. Thank you Dr. Zelig, I highly recommend.

This was a terrible experience. They called to confirm my appointment and I told them I only needed an endodontist, and although I made that clear, the office insisted that I had to be seen by the regular dentist. I said fine. I go, the visit was fine, I was seen by both doctors. I needed a root canal, I said fine. They said that they would take my insurance, and gave me a quote, I said fine. 2 1/2 weeks later, 4 days before the appointment they call me to tell me that while the general dentist did take my insurance the endodontist (Dr. Zelig), does not take MetLife and so I had to cover 80% of the procedure. Then, the office accuses me of not know my befits as if I'm supposed to know that one of two dentists sharing would not accept my insurance (after they had already told me that they both doctors would). I said fine, cancel my appointment. Go back to Zoc Doc, add in my insurance information, and the 2nd name on the list of doctors who take my insurance is Dr. Zelig. Call back the office, they, so not politely, let me know that Zoc Doc is wrong and that Dr. Zelig does not accept MetLife. A terrible waste of time and a horrible experience.

Office staff pushed me for X-rays, which I didn't because I did bring my own. Then the staff forced a balance on me which was supposed to be a free consultation. AVOID!
