I have never felt safer then in his capable hands, he is the kindest man and so skilled. I only wish I could have continued my treatment with him but my mouth needed extensive work that needed to be done in a hospital. I am how ever confident that who ever he refers me to will be as good and kind as he is. I highly recommend this dr over and above 5 stars. His skills cannot be put into words he is that good

I have had a number of implants and procedures completed with Dr. Aptekar over the years. Many implant surgeries. I must say that the work has been great. I have never had any issues, and the implants feel like my own teeth.
Dr. Aptekar has always taken the time to explain everything to me, and provided my always with all my options. I have never felt rushed, or pushed into any treatment. He has always been very carrying, and through. Thank you for the continued excellent work Dr. Aptekar.

Saw him for a consult, but decided to see a real specialist when it came to getting an implant. Claims to be a "specialist", but he's not. Just a regular dentist who does implants. He was a little to quick and abrasive for my liking. I felt he wanted me in and out as quickly as possible. He's in it for the money and not the patients best interest.

Dr. Allen Aptekar's response
Hello sorry you felt this way.
We never ever state that I am a specialist. We take this very serious. However one should know that there is not one dental specialty that is a specialist alone in Dental Implantology. There are many dental specialists, but not specifically for dental Implants.
All Specialists:
Peridontist - "gum" specialist
Oral surgeon - jaw surgery- pathology, extractions
Endodontists - root canals
Prosthodontist - crown and bridge specialist
General Dentist - all aspects of dentistry

All of these disciplines all are involved in implants, but not one is consider the ultimate speciality in Implants.

I am sorry that you felt anything with respect to that we are only about the financial gain. That is furthest from the truth. We pride ourselves on only providing information and services that are necessary for optimal oral health for our patients. Not only do we complete procedures at fees that are on an average scale with our colleagues, but if an extra procedure or an extra implant at some point is deemed necessary during the overall treatment plan for our patients, these procedures many times are completed at no cost. Reason being is that our number one goal is about the best oral health and happiness to our patients, and ABSOLUTELY NOT finances.

Thank you and once again we apologize for the impression you got.
Allen Aptekar

The doctor has done an incredible job for my mother, who is 87 years old. Within an hour and a half, the doctor took out her last 3 teeth and placed 4 implants for the lower denture. Thank you very much, Dr. Allen, from my mother and me.

It is shocking at one some people write, as i read below. People!!! These are doctors that try to help you, not a restaurant, or waiter. Honestly....I have never met a nice doctor with respect to getting medical dental treatment...and i have had alot. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this doctor. He knows his stuff inside out....my treatment with him, had many stages, and he explained everything along the way, and as you get to know him, you will see he is the nicest guy. He did an outstanding job. Thank you so much Dr. Aptekar for everything.
