I set up an appointment as a new patient. My sister recommended me. My appointment was amazing this has been the best dentist I have ever been too! The dentist are super gentle with my teeth and gums. I didn't feel like I was getting poked up at all! Everyone was nice and had a warm welcome! I'm telling all my friends and family about this place!

Horrible horrible horrible customer service! Everyone there seems to hate their job. They don't know how to answer the phone or how to talk to people. I called to schedule an appt and the receptionist was rude because I had to get my insurance card out of my wallet. Asked to speak to the office manager and she told me that I was lying. Definitely not a place I would want someone working in my mouth when everyone who works there seems miserable.

They also tend to only service people of there culture which is SAD that we still live in a world like that. I would hope whoever is in charge of this company get trainings on ethics and proper customer service.

My daughter went here to have a cavity fixed, they drilled a hole in her tooth but never filled it she went back three times and they never fixed it she had to go to another dentist due to pain and they told her they damaged her teeth more then fixed them, would not recommend this dentist unless you want teeth issues and a lot of pain

My first time going there I had somewhat of an ok. But today was really strange I had an appointment scheduled for 9 yes I had overslept that was my fault I called to reschedule my appointment and was told that I will be charged $45 for rescheduling my appointment apparently if you missed two appointments you have to pay $45 on your next appointment now the reception that answered the phone when she was telling me this I felt as though she was very unprofessional and very rude about it and I believe I think that if y'all was to charge $45 then that would should have been something been told when a person first sign up to go to the building you know if I'm schedule an appointment then it should have been told in the beginning so I'm telling her okay well I never been charged $45 for a missed appointment why am I being charged $45 for a dental appointment and she was very rude about it saying well you know you can go find anotherdoctor office so I hung up on her because I feel as though that was very rude of her and very unprofessional

I want to compliment the staff at this location. They made me feel so much at ease, as I am petrified of the dentist. I was so calm after their courteous treatment. They explained the whole procedure. I did not wait long. I had no pain after the novocain wore off. I would definitely go back to complete my work.

Some of the staff are rude and disrespectful. They called me and blamed me for putting myself down as a new patient when I know I am not; the staff member put me down as a new patient; not I. Then they did not keep my appointment and I had to go at another time. They did not apologize for their mistake and did not give me an explanation of why they did not keep my appointment time.

Their excuse was sometimes kids are loud in the waiting room. That is a lame excuse for treating your patients disrespectfully. I expressed my comments to the staff about three times and spoke to the head manager named Ann in the office and I am very disappointed her and their careless attitude. No one should be treated like they way they treated me. The dentist is very good at his practice. Unfortunately I'm leaving Absolute Smile because of staff's unprofessional behavior.

Absolute Smile has the best employee's. I started going there 2yrs ago, and by the second visit the receptionist knew my face and greeted me by name. They really take pride in getting to know their patients. My dentist is very kind and compassionate. Whatever procedure your having he takes the time to tell you what's what. I would definitely recommend.

Thank you Absolute Smile for taking such good care of me today. They were able to get me a same day appointment. The super friendly staff made me feel at ease and answered every concern I had. Their prices are extremely reasonable.

Was able to get in fairly quickly. Was seen before my appointment which was incredible and they were even able to squeeze me in for services that I initially didn't come in for. Everyone was very kind and thorough. Absolutely no pain after like I've had in the past. Definitely a great staff and service.

First thing you notice is that the facility is extremely clean. They are very vigilant about COVID-19,r equiring all wear masks and giving all patients temperature checks. The ladies who work the front desk are very pleasant and very helpful with arranging appointments, helping with insurance, etc. I found the doctors to be excellent, they take the time to carefully explain your situation, and use their expertise to formulate a plan that is going to give you a great result.

Another thing that is nice is that they sincerely listen to your input/feedback about your ongoing treatment. I would highly recommend them for any cosmetic dentistry you wish to get done. I consider them artists for your mouth. Routine care is excellent as well. Marc S.

First time as a patient here. 1st thing I noticed was how clean the office is. Was immediately greeted by the receptionist. Didn't have to wait long to be called. Walked in there with a positive energy and received it in returned. Had conversations about other services offered, which I was impressed. They offer microblading, botox, fillers, makeup tattoos and more! Over all, the staff were very friendly and out going personality like myself!

Bad customer service. I've been coming here for years and had an appointment on Saturday that I schedule over six months ago. Then received a call a week before my appointment but no one left a message. I called today to ask what the call was about and was told they want to reschedule my appointment due to the pandemic they limit hours which was fine until the woman got upset.

I asked why did they wait so long to call me when I scheduled my appointment six months ago at my last appointment during the beginning of the pandemic. The woman did not like that I asked a question and asked me did I not know what was going on in the world. I advise her yes I know what's going on but I am an essential working and have weekends off that's why I scheduled my appointment six months ago for Saturday.

The woman got upset and said next available appointment she have was Tuesday I advised the woman again I work during the week asked if she had any Saturdays available she got upset and said I can find another dentist to go to. I asked if I can speak to someone else the woman said no and hung up. I'm not sure if she's having a bad day but customer service is very important at a business like that. I've never had a issue before with this company but this left a bad taste in my mouth.

Iam writing this because I had enough I do understand under the circumstances we are right now things get difficult but the fact that some of the staff are very rude this is from way before the COVID and sense I never got to write a review before I am writing now because today I had enough of this place. They will never see another penny from me! I understand when you're from another country sometimes it's hard to express your way of talking to people but being rude doesn't excuse you!

Ive been coming here for at least 10years! I love the service and the employees! So nice and they offer so many different Service's! Never had an issue. Always had a great experience. They take there time to clean your teeth, they don't rush at all! They explain to you what is goin on with your teeth and offer solutions to fix it. Very flexible with appointments. Staff is always smiling and polite! I will continue to go here. I always appreciate customer service cause not alot of places in phila have it anymore!

Absolute smile is the best! When you walk in the door most of the receptionist know who you are and your check-in is immediate & swift. Once you're checked in, your wait in the lobby area is usually less than 5-10 mins.

All members of the staff at Absolute smile are friendly and welcoming. Receptionist take the time to get to know each and every patients name, not just by paper, but by face. That in itself speaks volumes. I loved my visit and would definitely recommend the service.

Literally the worse experience I've ever had at a dentist. I've been their patient for about 8 years and ever since they started changing their doctors and staff, they've been doing a horrible job. I had fillings done that fell out 2-3 times! My teeth became soo sensative to anything I eat or drink. I'm very very upset at their job performance and what they've done to my teeth. Not only that, but the receptionist women are so unprofessional and literally leave you on hold for so long! Way to keep your business people.

We were not big fans of this dental office. There were relatively long waits for our scheduled appointments, even though we arrived early. I also had to go back for a filling and did not enjoy the process with the dentist. They were rough in doing the filling and did not do a good job at all. My tooth was very rough for weeks until it smoothed out.

It also does not feel like they did a good job. They also make you wear these strange orange glasses, I've been going to the dentist my entire life and never seen these glasses before. I would not recommend this dentist.

This was my first visit there. They got me in just a couple days after so called. My hygienist name was Irina and she was great. She listened to my concerns ( I'm a gagged) and only took the necessary X-rays and it went well. The Dr ( I don't even remember his name was nice and poked in my mouth for a bit. I made a appointment for 6 more months and I'll be back.

The waiting room is gorgeous and brand new, but the actual rooms were a bit shabby. Older chairs with multiple holes on them. The desk ladies where extremely nice to me but they were short with a different patient in the waiting room, on something that the girl admitted was there mistake () but if you want your teeth cleaned well and gentle. Go with Irina! I will go back!

Absolute Smile definitely knows what they are doing. I've been going to them for the last three years for regular cleaning routine and they have been very tentative and responsive.

I believe Absolute Smile is doing a good job. Usually, when I go to a dentist and ask for cleaning, they just give me what I ask for. I went to Absolute Smile and requested a cleaning, and I was shocked to find out that my teeth were in a bad shape for someone that goes to the dentist at least twice a year. They told me I will not be able to get what I asked for this time, and that I needed to be put in a necessary treatment. After my treatment I was glad to realize my teeth were no longer bleeding after I brush them.

It's not easy finding a good dentist, and a good practice that is instep with the latest technology not only in the medical sphere but also for instance in utilizing iPads to reward their patients through an "in-office reward program" (you don't see that too often in today's healthcare). The waiting room is comfortable and cosy, with a "fake" glass fire place and a huge tv to keep you entertained while you waiting (don't hesitate to ask them to switch a channel).

The doctors clearly know what they are doing and I really appreciated their "don't fix it if it's not broken" approach. Keep in mind that it is a Russian run and operated office, there might be some thing that are "lost in translation" so to say. And I think "Latrell C." who earlier commented saying "I can't figure out if they are rude or if it's their culture. ", might just need to get out a bit more;) (joking of course) I do have to say though that getting a superb dentist is not easy, and I am more than happy to overlook some "cultural differences" (if there are any there at all) to have a healthy mouth and a peace of mind. Major thumbs up! And a wide smile from this happy patient. :)

I have to agree the person on my teeth was very rough, and the staff are very rude after the second time I came back I had to ask to speak to someone else because the women was vey rude.im a very respectable and patience person but couldn't take the snobbiness. Maybe it's a race thing cause they were nicer to the white woman that came in next to me. So I decided to take my mine else where.

My experience with Absolute Smile was a very good one. I went in several times for gum scaling and Irena was very helpful at educating me throughout every step of the processes. This was very helpful and helped me relax. I have referred Absolute Smile to my friends and share my great experience in hopes others will have a great testimony as well. I look forward to my next visit!

Absolute smile takes care of what needs to be done. I recently signed up to be with them the past year and I am proud to say they did a pretty good job. Before I came to this dentist I was at another that I was with for about 10 years. I have to say, they do a good job just like my past dentist. I'm happy to be their customer and the workers are very nice! I recommend Absolute Smile to everyone.

Great dentist office. My son and me have been patients here for the past 4 years. The thing I really like about this place is how the Dr's take the time to describe the problem in detail, offering the tratment options in a way that is transparent and fair. A big kudos to Dr. Fishman for being such a gentle and caring dentist!

I have been a patient of Dr. Eric Friedman for 10 years. I've tried my luck with many dentists before, but I've stayed with Absolute smile for the following reasons: 1) If I have a problem I can always talk to the doctor and get personal attention to my problem. 2) Dr. Eric Friedman is very thorough and very competent. 3) The work that Dr. Friedman performs is excellent.

I have had root canals, tooth extractions, 2 crowns, multiple fillings done by him 4) Dr. Friedman has corrected mistakes of other Dentists :) 5) All his procedures are completely painless and he goes out of his way to make sure his patients are comfortable Overall, I highly recommend his services.

OK. NOW, i have no affiliation to Absolute smile, besides being a happy customer for at least 4 years. I just went to my routine cleaning and heard this crazy story. SO, there is a real opinion. First of all, Jim S., do you think is it fair to review a business that you have NEVER been to? I have never met you, Jim S., but judging by your reviews, i think you are angry old man, who would take any chance to complain. you are getting ONE STAR fella! Second, I understand that we are all different and its possible that not all of us would have the same great experience. So, im sorry Amy that hearing foreign speech scares hell out of you. Finally, I LOVE Dr. Fishman! THE BEST!

Just in few words, she is gentle and always discuss with me what she is about to do and why. About 2,5 years agoI recommended her to my friend, who needed lots of work done. guess what? he is still goes there twice a year and loves it. About the office in general. Clean, which is very important. If you are not late, they won't make you wait. If you are late, well, its your fault, they have other people to serve.

I never had any problems with anyone there, really. Just wanted to add. Past summer, I decided to "save" and bought a groupon for a cleaning to some office in Center City. well, I would never do it again. In comparison with the service I get in Absolute Smile, that cleaning was poorly done, very rushed and the office was kinda not clean.

Absolutely terrible! Very unprofessional! I scheduled an appointment for a check-up and a cleaning. When I was called back it took the dental assistant an hour to take my x-rays, during which time she hit me in the face with the arm of the machine not once, but twice. When the dentist did finally come in the room. He ignored my presence and spoke with the assistant in another language for 15 minutes, before acknowledging me.

I was then told that he THINKS I need three fillings, his uncertain manner made me very uncomfortable. I was then brought back up front to reschedule a time to come in for my fillings and cleaning, which came as a surprise to me, because I had made an appointment for the cleaning that day. When I voiced my confused, the receptionist informed me that the hygienist was too busy to clean my teeth.what did I make an appointment for then?!? All around horrible experience, don't waste your time!
