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. Scharf was fantastic! He did a wonderful job on my dental implant! I would highly recommend him!

SMILING SINCE 2005
I'm a regular at Dr. Scharf's office and I can say these negative reviews have to be scams or someone that was put up to writing a bad review. Go there yourself and you will see they're extremely professional from start to finish. All is explained at first consult visit and beyond. No question is ever ignored or brushed off. In fact, they treat patients like Family. MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND SMILE. L.K. from Lindenhurst. NY

Went after a referral seeking a routine dental cleaning with new insurance and was told this service could be provided. After several appointments and having nothing done but x-rays, I was then referred to another "regular" dentist to have new xrays and get actual work done. On top of this, I found out afterwards when I was billed that my insurance did NOT cover the work being done. The entire experience was a waste of time & money. I do not recommend this office.

I was very petrified of going to the dentist, based on past experiences. However, I found myself in a situation, where I had no choice. I was recommended to Dr Scharf. It has been a wonderful experience. The staff is very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. It was Douglas Adams who said, To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity. To say the least, Dr Scharf brings unmatched integrity to this profession

My experience with Dr. Scharf and his staff was SIMPLY wonderful. Unlike most dental offices, there was/is a short wait time and the staff treats you as if you're special. My surgery was pain free &, quick. I saw Dr. Scharf on television one night as i was flipping through channels, after months of putting off much needed dental work, and listened to the entire show. immediately i called his office, scheduled an appointment and now have most of my dental work is done. SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!
