Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Gorkowitz is the best orthodontist! Professional, kind hearted, and passionate about his work.

We were out of towners visiting friends in NJ when my son’s spacer partially detached. I called Dr. Gorkowitz’s office at 5pm on a Sunday evening and he waited for us to arrive at his office. Totally reassured my son it would all be ok and fixed his spacer in 5 min. He was so kind, professional and a true life saver!!!

I have to give Dr. Gorkowitz recognition for seeing my daughter in an emergency situation this past holiday weekend . My daughter began crying because af a broken brace wire that was poking her inner gum which was hurting beyond belief. I was going to try to snip the wire but decided to call the office at 7:15 pm on Sunday evening. The Dr. answered. We were able to meet up in 15 minutes at his Livingston office. He replaced and repaired the issue within minutes. We were back at our home before 8

Dr. Gorkowitz is the best orthodontist my family has been to hands down. He is very kind and professional. Makes his patients feel at ease and my kids don't have that fear of going to their appointments. My family will highly recommend him and his practice for any orthodontic need.

Dr. G is the BEST!! ALWAYS available and always makes you feel at ease. Explains every step in detail so no surprises. Dr. G and his staff are a pleasure. I wish more doctors ran their practice this way. Flexible payment plans, flexible hours and at the end of it all, a smile you cannot put a price tag on!! Highly recommend!!

I recommend Dr. Gorkowitz to anyone. He is very professional and knowledgeable. He did a great job fixing my children's dental work. He worked on my son's dental braces a few years ago. Shortly after my daughter went in, today was her last day to wear the braces. Her teeth looks beautiful. Congratulations Dr. Gorkowitz. We really thank you for your patience and ability to work with children.

Dr. Bernie Gorkowitz is a wonderful orthodontist. As the father of 5, of whom 4 needed braces, I had the opportunity to observe first-hand the care, attention to detail, personalized concern and technical expertise that Dr. Gorkowitz exemplifies. I generally do not write reviews of doctors, particularly not positive ones, but I made an exception this time because people should know about him. If you want a good orthodontist in either Livingston or Hasbrouck Heights, I highly recommend that yo
