Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Since you have told us that you have periodontal disease, I am sure that you know that this incurable infection touches 75-80% of the population! The periodontist we would recommend you see is Dr. Ed Marcus in Floral Vale. We send MANY advanced patients to see Dr. Marcus to control their periodontal disease. He recommends that patients come to see him sooner than later so there is still bone left to work with to give patients a smile that they like. We can certainly see you to do the restorative work; however, Dr. Marcus would be the person to help you with the periodontal disease. If you would like to see us first, you can certainly call us at 215-968-4400 and we can discuss your options with you once we see you. We look forward to listening to you so you can start your New Year off with a smile that you can be proud of! Elaine
