Dr. Idelson is the best dentist I have ever been to. He is so compassionate and gentle and explains everything so clearly. I am not afraid to go to the dentist anymore, no matter what I need to get done. Because I know he is not going to hurt me. He has Bose noise canceling headphones hooked up to the chair so I spend the appointment listening to music and not hearing any drilling at all. I have had many fillings and bonding with him, and he made me bleaching trays. My teeth look very nice. It is a remarkably pleasant experience. Barbara is wonderful as his administrator and always has kind and encouraging words. If you are looking for a great dentist in Long Island(or even the city — I would definitely travel to LI from the city for him) I absolutely recommend checking out Dr. Idelson. He’s great!
