Some of my previous dentists had refused to be "preferred" dentists on my dental plan because they would have had to accept lower fees. I ended up paying out of pocket so that they could make more money. Dr Schwartz is preferred on my plan so I pay nothing for my normal visits. My previous dentist had recommended an expensive procedure to repair a chipped tooth and that I have all of my silver fillings removed. Dr Schwartz recommended a very quick inexpensive tooth repair and said that removing my fillings was completely unnecessary. He could have made a lot of money from the more expensive procedures, but he was honest and said that they weren't necessary. When I needed dental implants, he found me an oral surgeon on my plan's preferred list so that it cost me less than half what my previous dentist had recommended. I later read in the paper that this oral surgeon was famous for his surgical results. Dr Schwartz put the crowns on those implants and he used a local lab he trusted instead of the cheaper option of having them made in India. He is extremely easy going, his office is not a modern show palace, it is homey, like a living room. I have recommended Dr S to several people who are now his satisfied patients.
About Hygienist: Always friendly, does a thorough job and lets me know how I'm doing with my daily regimen. A nice change from my last dentist where the hygienist thought that a cleaning wasn't good unless it hurt!
