Dr. Fertig is by far the best dentist on the whole upper west side bar none. I would trust her with my children and my grandparents. Gentle, meticulous, caring, No other dentist gave me information to seriously care for my teeth in the long term, and follow up (!!l than Dr. Fertig.
Best of the best......
December 13, 2023Dan B.Verified patient
Dr Fertig is thorough and painless. She truly thought about my issue. She gave me 2 good choices and gave me a referral. She will do some work on her own. No ego got in the way.
September 13, 2023Shelley H.Verified patient
The doctor was nice but the office was kind of gross. Not what I would have expected from that area of the city. I probably wouldn't go back in the future.
July 24, 2023Harris S.Verified patient
Probably the best dentist I've ever had. Dr. Fertig was calm, kind, and very professional. She explained everything she was doing and the tools she was using. When she recommended coming in again for a cavity and for potential wisdom tooth removal she explained how she came to that conclusion and the optionality I had for both things. An experience like this makes me want to see the dentist more frequently!

She was excellent.. very friendly , sweet and efficient.. I needed a wisdom tooth to be extracted as I was in pain, and out of care not to break it for me, she referred me to an excellent Surgion whom she called and booked me an appointment with him right away . That was so humble and I appreciate that . she was so caring and I would definitely visit again in case I needed..
January 9, 2020Mariam A.Verified patient
Dr. Fertig is the best. It's always a pleasure to visit her office as I feel very well cared for. Likewise, the staff couldn't be nicer.

I cannot recommend Dr. Fertig more highly! I had a great experience with her, especially considering that my previous dental experience at another practice was less than satisfactory. She was both sincerely empathetic and extremely competent, and I will definitely be going back to her!
