I went to Dr. Saidman for a long time when I was young. He's very nice and patient. His receptionist was very nice, but his hygienist was rude and mean. Dr. Saidman used to do very good work, but his quality has declined as he has gotten older. I had to have several of his fillings replaced because he did not drill out enough of the tooth before placing the filling. One of these even led to a root canal. Throughout my childhood, my mom asked him about braces, and he always said that there was no need. When I was 20, he said that I really needed braces. Too bad they were no longer covered by insurance because of my age. I am now paying out of pocket to have braces at age 28. He is very nice, and thorough in his cleanings and diagnoses. I'm only concerned about the quality of his fillings.
