Donald Wurtzel DDS, PC

I had been going to Dr Wurtzel for years and then he hired his children. Since then their quality of service and care has gone down hill. I had a night guard made by Dr Wurtzel’s son last time I visited and here I am a year later and it broke. When I called to ask if it could be fixed or not they were very rude to me. Sorry but I spent $ 600 on my very limited college student budge for that night guard and to have it break a year later is absolutely ridiculous. I will NOT be coming back here.

I’m a new patient at this office and have only been there twice. The first time was just for a cleaning and I was very impressed. My dental assistant was Annette and she was great.
The second time I came in wasn’t as great. I had dental impressions done. I saw Dr. Ben, and he was very thorough and careful. My dental assistant was Tracey, and I’d prefer not to see her again. She never introduced herself and wasn’t very gentle. As she was holding the impression in she was fidgeting and dancing to the music playing which is very uncomfortable when there are fingers and a giant tray in your mouth. She shoved a giant mirror in my mouth roughly without gloves on, and she got my saliva all over my face as she was cleaning me up. She also didn’t rinse my mouth out when we were finished, so I had residue and an awful taste in my mouth.
The office is great, I’m just not impressed with Tracey.

My family and I absolutely love going to Dr Wurtzel’s dental office! It is the best dental office in the world! Dr Wurtzel, Dr Lindsey, Dr Ben and the whole staff are very professional and so incredible! They make each visit very enjoyable and memorable!

I am a US immigrant living in Ypsilanti, Mi. and I have been a patient at Dr. Donald Wurtzel DDS.
I have found the Wurtzel Dentistry Clinic one of the best I have experienced. The staff are professional and the youth challenges and ambition of the doctors are excellent.
I have no hesitation in recommending the Clinic as one of the highest calibre

I have been going to this dental office for years and I have to say that I love them! They are so friendly and very professional. Dr Wurtzel is a wonderful dentist who does everything from fillings to dental implant surgeries. His two kids are the other dentists. Dr Lindsey has always been great with my two little kids. They love her! My daughter loves to see Emily for her cleanings.
If you are scared to go to the dentist or haven’t been for a long time, they will take very good care of you!

Very pleasant place to go. They have alot of staff, so checking in and checking out is immediate. Waiting was 2 minutes. They honor the appointment time exactly. Some places make a 1pm appt, but you dont get in for 45 mins.
They introduce themselves to you. Thats something that has been lost by most customer service places in town.
I save my 5 star rating for places that are exceptional, and because of the introductions, i am giving them 5 stars.

Dr. Wurtzel is OK as far as dentists go, solidly 3-​star.
The good: Dr. Wurtzel’s office makes it easy to make an appointment there. The office is easy to find right off Washtenaw Ave. The parking lot is accommodating. They have early morning hours and early evening hours, so it’s easy to find an appointment that will work around your work schedule. Unlike other dentists I’ve called, you can usually get in within a few days of calling for an appointment. Additionally, when I had to have an emergency root canal, he did a good, almost painless job and got me in next day after I called complaining of the ache in my jaw. One more positive: the dental assistants are really nice.
The bad: I have this thing about going to the dentist, and unlike other people’s dentist phobias, this isn’t about pain. My hesitancy about going to the dentist is that they will try to push cosmetic procedures on me to make money or refer me to their buddies so they can make money.
In this regard, Wurtzel’s office is about the same as any other dentist I’ve been to. They tell me I could have whiter teeth and ask about the little extra bit of flesh that kind of sticks out from my gum between my two front upper teeth. I just want healthy teeth– I’m not that worried about the cosmetic issue. I’m not planning to model or anything.
Dr. Wurtzel also wanted to book me for an appointment to be fitted for a dental night guard because I’m a nocturnal teeth-​grinder. Even knowing that my dental insurance barely covers anything (something like 5 percent of anything that isn’t routine maintenance), he wanted to charge me around $ 540 for the fitting and the guard. I know other people who have gotten similar devices for $ 300, and I know there are some cheaper over-​the-​counter guards that cost much less. I was disappointed that he went right for the big money instead of telling me about other less expensive options I could pursue first.
If you actually are interested in cosmetic dentistry, you may like the practice better than I did.
