Dr. Gitelman is simply the best! I had my upper, and three years later, lower wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Gitelman. Dr. Gitelman is a true professional. You know you are in good hands once he walks into the room. Both of my extractions were done with local anesthesia fast, painlessly, and with no discomfort. Aside from being a professional (I prefer a professional dentist to a compassionate dentist), Dr. Gitelman is extremely nice. He takes the time to explain your options, answers your questions, and give you alternatives. I am usually never 100% satisfied with medical doctors, but Dr. Gitelman is excellent.
