I was dealing with a tooth Cavitation that Was potentially turning into a tooth infection and with Elfmans help i was able to prevent one problem from becoming a much bigger one. I ended up having to get a tooth removed but elfman did a great job in communicating the process and making sure it was as Smooth as possible for me. Highly recommend! 👍🏽
I will be forever grateful to Dr. Elfman and his amazing staff. I came in with so many issues, we made a plan and tackled them one at a time. Today I got my partials and left with a beautiful smile! They were so gentle and reassuring during the entire process. Do yourself a favor and go see Dr. Elfman, I'm so happy I did!
I had an appointment today for.both a crown and a.cavity. Dr.Elfman and his staff went out of their way to ease my worry and anxiety! (I tend to be a worry wart). All my questions were answered promptly, and I knew I was in excellent hands. My Wife and I have been patients of Dr. Elfman for many years, and always appreciate the care received! Thanks Dr. Elfman and staff for your professionalism and great care!
Shady practice ,they will schedule cleaning appt ahead of due date without telling patients they’re not due yet then send a $300 bill since insurance will not cover (obviously) they are not honest with their patients and is greedy !! They will make up things saying you need fills, root canal etc just to make money when in reality my teeth is absolutely fine with no problems. I Will find another practice immediately . Terrible practice !! 0 stars would not recommend
Dr. Elfman and his son Dr Mike is the best, and his staff are fantastic. Every last one of them. I'm very worry free when I'm sitting in his chair, and they work with your budget, which is very hard to find these days. He does fantastic work, please check it out for yourself you will be very happy with no regrets 😊 If there was a 10 STARS ratings that's what I would give to him and his team.
