 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After a long search and a bad experience  I am so lucky to find Dr.Belfer recommended to me by Dr Levy who retired. Dr Belfer is a wonderful dentist. She listens and teaches. It's important to have those skills. You never feel anxious and her small staff are polite and patient.    I have nothing but compliments. I hope that for all who encounter  her and her team have the same experience

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Elle Belfer is a talented, skilled, and seasoned dentist. After more than a decade with my trusted dentist, his retirement left me uncertain—until Dr. Belfer took over the practice. After a moment’s hesitation, I went in for my regular six-month cleaning and check-up. From our very first encounter, it was clear she was an outstanding practitioner. She worked quickly, efficiently, and identified several areas needing attention.

What impressed me most at that first visit was the way she combined advanced dental technology with time-honored techniques. Over the course of three follow-up appointments, I experienced her exceptional skill first-hand. While dental procedures are never my favorite activity, Dr. Belfer performed each one with speed, precision, and minimal discomfort. I was especially impressed by new techniques I had never encountered in dentistry before.

I recommend Dr. Belfer and her entire team without reservation.

I had cleaning and fillings done, extremely comfortable procedure and great results. Dr. Belfer was thorough, communicated very clearly to me what my best options were, and helped me book follow ups in a very timely manner. Fantastic family friendly dental clinic, won’t be going anywhere else.
