Dr. Charmatz is a friendly, warm and down to earth dentist. He makes you feel at ease. Dr. Charmatz is compassionate and very detailed about procedures and information. He will explain step by step all that needs to be done and how to avoid unneccesary work. He favors a more holistic approach to dental care. Dr. Charmatz is also compassionate about dental discomfort. He understands the tension surrounding Novacaine injections and will suggest alternatives if possible. When I insisted on a tooth colored filling, he explained why it may not be a good idea. Instead of just taking my money. When I wanted a wisdom tooth removed, he gave me the pros and cons. Now that's a good dentist.
