I finally found Dr Pearl. She's a blessing. She understands when someone is freakinly afraid of needles . She was very patient and comforting with me.
Verified patient
This was my first dentist visit in a long time, so I was nervous. The staff at this office were kind and welcoming from the first second I walked in. They explained exactly what they were doing and what I could expect. I left with a nice new toothbrush and recommendations for dental care products. Overall it was a great visit and I'd recommend this practice to anyone!

Dr. Unterman was excellent -- Did a thorough exam and cleaning with great bedside manner. Responsive to my questions. Gave good feedback on how to improve my oral health, and took pictures to help explain things.
Dr. Pearl is friendly, professional and efficient. She always explains exactly what she's doing and why, and she makes the experience as pleasant as being at the dentist can be!

Dr Pearl is friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoy a dentist who does the cleaning and dental work. She is always on time and you never have to wait.
Pearl is great - she is totally non-judgmental and takes the time to explain what she's doing and why. She makes going to the dentist a pleasant experience.
Verified patient
Very thorough - also good about reminding you to follow up with other healthcare such as a mole screens and PMD visits. She did an oral cancer screen and I don't think I've ever had that done before! Or at least not as thoroughly
Verified patient
She is the best! and I'm hard to please
Verified patient
The best medical experience I have ever had. I felt like I was at a private practice, she spent so much time explaining to me what she was doing and why, and her entire office staff was incredibly friendly
Verified patient
She was professional yet personable. I was late due to the weather and traffic but she still saw me. I really appreciated that because I had a difficult time getting there. She explained everything to me in detail and was open to questions. I would recommend her to all my friends and family.
Verified patient
She was very professional and thorough. Fantastic bedside manner. She saw me right away both times that I've gone. Her assistant was also very friendly!
Pearl was very professional
I liked Dr. Pearl. She took time to clarify my medical and dental history, since it was my first visit. Some of her bedside manner seemed like it was more suited for younger patients, but overall she was friendly and thorough. She has a small office, so be prepared to wait to be greeted if she and the hygienist are with a patient.
I have been to Dr. Unterman 3 times in the past few months and every time she has been great. I was even a half hour late for my first appointment because I couldn't find parking and she still saw me right away. She is knowledgeable, quick, and very friendly. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dentist.
Verified patient
Dr. Unterman is super sweet and warm. I was anxious getting in there but once you sit with her you are at ease. Very knowledgable and did a fantastic job with my teeth. She is my go to dentist for sure.
Verified patient
Pearl was very friend, gentle and informative. She provided a great deal of feedback and suggestion on how to best take care of my teeth without being judgmental at all. She was thorough during the cleaning and even sent her assistant next door to find the flavor of tooth polish that I like when she did not have it herself. I highly recommend her.
Verified patient
A+!
Verified patient
Dr. Pearl Unterman is such a delight. She called me back personally to help schedule my appointment as soon as possible to fix my chipped tooth. Her beautiful corner office is settled high above Walnut street providing a calm yet professional setting. I cannot thank her enough for accommodating me and giving me my smile back!
Pearl is a great dentist. She's friendly and professional and made me feel totally at ease. Also, she was not judgmental about my bad dental habits, which was nice; I was worried I was going to get scolded for not flossing often enough. Highly recommend!
Verified patient
Relaxing.
Dr. Pearl is a careful, gentle, skillful and accomplished practitioner. She is available off hours if a patient needs her, either to accommodate work or school requirements or certainly for an emergency. I would recommend her services to anyone. She has saved a tooth of mine without performing a root canal which would have been the simple recourse for most dentists. Her fee schedule is clearly reasonable. She is facile with new technology and any appropriate explanations.
