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.

Worst experience in the 6 years of my sons life. My son is on the autism spectrum, and we’ve been making progress with dental visits. This would have been our 3rd visit with Dr Kantor. While I was attempting to get my son in the cleaning chair using the First and Then method, Dr. Kantor insulted my parenting skill and was insensitive to my son when she said, “it’s as simple as put him in the chair”. I responded that if it were that simple it would have been done. However, as her request I attempted to put my son in the chair (even though I knew he wasn’t ready) and he kicked and screamed, my son is 6 years old, 60 pounds and about 4ft tall. Instead of continuing to try and putting my son in a worst emotional state, I decided to leave. As we were leaving Dr Kantor tries to snatch her mirror away from my son, he was using the mirror as a Stemming tool. I blocked her snatch with my arm and handed her the mirror which caused my son to throw an even bigger fit about the mirror.

Thorough, kind, gentle, knowledgeable dentist and peaceful office with no wait. All four of my kids have been going for several years. She is the best dentist I have ever been to.
