Dr. El Haje put in a few crowns which have not given me any problems. It was pain free and to my expectation done very well. He was very thorough and talkative which made me feel welcome compared to other dentists. Other than that I thought he did a great job and have been going to him every since.

I thought Dr. el-Haje did great work on my teeth for a little to money out of pocket (insurance took care of the rest). He is very thorough and likes to talk and get to know his patients. He works hard and seems to care about his patients and their teeth. Overall I think he is a great dentist.

Great dental work, I had two crowns done and I haven't had any problems with them. They were pain free and cheap due to my insurance.

About Hygienist: He was very thorough with his work and made sure to lay out all of the steps that needed to take happen before the work was to be done so I didn't have any surprises.

Excellent work. I've had multiple procedures done here, including a tooth extraction, that were pain free. My favorite service is the cleaning. Fair warning, Dr. El Haje is a character but he is honest and his practice is evidence based so he won't have you go through unnecessary procedures.

About Hygienist: Thorough!

I had a deep cleaning, regular cleaning, a crown and 3 fillings done. All painless and mostly covered by my insurance. He did GREAT work in my mouth... my crown matches my other teeth perfectly! The receptionist was very friendly and talkative and Dr. El Haje made sure I was very comfortable because I was VERY nervous.

About Hygienist: She is awesome!! Very friendly and gentle, but thorough and always made sure I was very comfortable. She took lots of time to describe and show me modifications to help me keep things clean!

Dr. el- haje is a really great dentist. He is friendly and thorough. The procedures I've had done turned out extremely well. He also did an excellent job diagnosing and treating my dental issues.And I had no problem getting an emergency appointment when my temporary filling fell off. Moreover, I've found that the procedures are always reasonable and he never attempts to sell me things I don't need. The office staff are friendly and helpful . I strongly recommend him to others.

My experience with Dr. El Haje was initially quite pleasant, but it has significantly deteriorated over the past year or so. Aside from general issues like his very modest office and the sometimes rude receptionist, there are two significant issues that have caused me to look for another dentist. First, his current hygienist seems unbalanced and injured me during my last cleaning, and then yelled at me for complaining about it. I often hear her yelling at someone or with the dentist while she is in other treatment rooms. Second, I have been kept waiting for over an hour during my last two appointments while people who arrived after me were seen before me. When I asked about the delays, the doctor was rude and told me to read a magazine. Also, when I tried to ask questions about a recommended procedure, he yelled at me not to ask questions while he is writing and then walked out of the room. I am not sure what has happened to the office or his service, but it is now horrible. I will not go back to Dr. El Haje and do NOT recommend him to others.

About Hygienist: There seems to be a problem retaining hygienists in the office, as there have been several in the past three years and sometimes it is difficult to get appointments when there is only one working a couple days a week. The current hygienist seems a little unbalanced and was extraordinarily rough and rude to me during my last visit. She even yelled at me when she nicked my tongue with her instrument, causing me to bleed. I felt physically scared to let her work on me after that incident.

Old, dirty facility, rude staff and did a terrible job on major bridge work. I have no occlusion on my left side. He did not know how to properly numb my mouth which caused excessive unnecessary pain. After paying thousands of dollars, the bridgework was done very poorly because he couldn't take a proper mold (which isn't that hard).

I was a patient of Dr. El Haje for 4 years and would probably still be if it wasn't for changing jobs/networks. As a dentist, I thought he was good. However, the office itself was quite disorganized and there were 2 occasions that I showed up and was told the hygenist did not show up and I had to reschedule (why they couldn't call me in advance is beyond me). The dentist is professional and assisted with wisdom teeth (referred me to a good sugeon) and a mouth guard to assist with teeth grinding. Overall, I would recommend him as long as they resolved their admin and hygenist issues.

This dentist is OK and the process of finding another dentist is too difficult because of my insurance. I don't have any major complaints other than the office could use a makeover and it just feels like a "second-tier" dentist office. Dr. El Haje himself is fine, if a little brusque, but I am comfortable with his treatment. I have had cleanings and fillings done by him over the years and everything has been easy and mostly painless. One specific complaint - his office is the only dental office I've ever been to that doesn't give out free toothbrushes and dental floss. Not a big thing, but just makes it seem cheap.
