I have come to Dr. Alster for 25 years, traveling from more than an hour away because I trust him. He's conservative and only does procedures if you really need them, very professional and takes great care to make pain free. Warm staff.

Each patient is special and unique to Dr. Alster, and this makes you feel cared for. His chairside manner keeps even the most nervous patient at ease. I've sent many friends to him who all agree. The quality of his work is supreme and although I have little patience for waiting. I know I will get the attention I deserve! Here's a tip: call the office beforehand to ask if there's any wait time. If he's running late you don't have to sit and wait! He is truly the BEST!

I recently needed a procedure that included an extraction and crowns. Dr. Bram Alster and Dr. Jason Alster worked as a team and the entire procedure was painless, with a quick comfortable recovery.It couldn't have been easier. Both Drs. are highly skilled professionals who truly care about their patients. I would highly recommend them both.

After countless unfortunate experiences with other dentists, I finally ended up in Dr. Alster's office and I'm glad I did! He is super friendly and very trustworthy - qualities one would like to see in their doctor. His staff always clean my teeth to perfection and the office is very clean. I've been coming here for years, and will continue to do so.

I have been going to Dr Alster for over 25 years and have always found him to be friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and concerned. He always explains what he will do and why, and is willing to answer any questions. His work is technically and aesthetically excellent; an oral surgeon I once saw commented that Dr Alster's temporary crowns are as good or better than some dentists' permanent crowns. Staff members are also skilled and helpful.

I have been going to Doctor Alster's office for my dentistry work since I was 8 years old. So it has been 26 years now. I would never go to another dentist. I tried 2 years ago due to price, and regretted doing so after having the other dentist do a crappy job on a simple bonding. Dr Alster is amazing with attention to detail and a told pain in the butt with timing! Would highly recommend as long as you can deal with the extensive wait times.
