I have used Dr. Gelfman several times over the years. He is an excellent clinician with a kind and funny personality. He has pulled several of my teeth and I have also done implants with him. I never experienced pain and my recovery was smooth. He explains every procedure and carefully does the work. His office staff is one of the most professional I have encountered. His office is pristine and welcoming.

His bedside manner eased my fears, his humor allowed me to forget the impending procedure and his talents made the surgery seamless! He explains the entire process, possible outcomes and makes suggestions based on MY NEEDS.

I give this Medical Dr.- Oral Surgeon 5 stars. He took care of my wife who has serious Osteoporosis expertly ,not hurting her jaw bone structure which is brittle. He was courteous and gentle, enough said.

Staff and Dr. Gelfman were both professional and friendly. Dr. Gelfman provided an ongoing commentary on what to expect during and after the extractions. One molar had a split root, yet it was removed without too much trauma. I liked that Dr. Gelfman took the time to explain how to take the prescriptions.

When I went to Dr. Gelfman for the first time he did not give me enough time and rushed me out.The second time I went to have my tooth pulled for implants. He was rough and leaned on my lip and nose and got mad that I told him.He then got annoyed when I wanted to know when to come back and put me in a room and told me he would not treat me again. I couldn't believe what I was hearing because I am always told what a good patient I am. I now have to pay for another consultation and xrays. He should not be practicing dentistry because he has no patience and is nasty.
