Stewart C Brody, DDS

I am absolutely appalled by this «Doctor’s» service. Stewart Brody is the most unprofessional doctor I have ever encountered.
He was extremely insulting and would would speak to me like a child; he would threaten me with shots if I made a noise due to pain (the pain wasn’t even from the work being done, but from the way he was aggressively grabbing and pinching my face). He would actually yell «You want me to give you a shot? Because I will if you won’t hold still!» while I was struggling under his Kung Fu grip. Other times, he would make comments such as «Don’t be such a baby, it’s just a brush.» And yes, I did tell him multiple times that his grip was the problem, not the tools. It seemed as though everything I said would just go through one ear and out the other.
I was disgusted by how unhygienic he was with everything. I have witnessed him drop tools on the ground and simply pick them back up and continue to use use them in my mouth. He would work with his bare hands, because apparently «gloves made things difficult», and I felt the hair on his fingers and hands as he put them in my mouth. Absolutely repulsive! He would also touch the crown with his fingers, and even dropped it on his lap numerous times — catching it between his legs. Disgusting. He would’ve definitely gotten an earful from me if I hadn’t been stuck in the chair with tools in mouth, unable to speak. He didn’t wear his face mask correctly either. It was always on but was always around his neck, not his face. He kept breathing into my mouth while he worked on me.
He doesn’t care about the work he does, and isn’t the least bit attentive to detail. When the crown came in from the lab, I asked him what kind of information they left about it, he said he didn’t know because he «didn’t bother to read the note». Additionally, he couldn’t read his own x-​ray that he took of me — he claimed that I didn’t have a post when I was sure that I did, I even took it upon myself to confirm with my primary dentist. He replied with «Oh, ok. I still don’t think it’s there, but let’s just say that it is». Incredibly unprofessional.
It took him an inconceivably long time to get the first molding for the crown done correctly. The appointment I had with him for the impression molding took over 3 hours! All of the temporary crowns he would give me kept breaking the next day, even though they are supposed to last for over a week. I had to (unfortunately) go back to his office several times to constantly replace the temporary crowns until the real crown came from the lab.
It also baffles me how a dentist (an older one at that, who has supposedly had some years of experience) does not know that suction is necessary if an impression is being taken for 3+ minutes. But no, he kept me laying in the chair, chocking on a pool of my own saliva. He always had his back turned while he had me hold the impression tool in my mouth, and when I tried to get his attention, he told me not to dare move because impression wasn’t finished.
I’ve never felt so disrespected by a doctor before. I found him through
— which I’ve now realized is a scam website (no bad reviews for ANY of the doctors on that site… really?). I’ve researched and found that the glowing reviews are actually all written by employees of Zocdoc, and apparently the more money a doctor pays their company, the higher up on the list the doctor appears on their search engine.
I wouldn’t recommend this doctor to ANYONE! Not even someone I hated. I certainly won’t be using Zocdoc again either. I’d imagine that the only doctors that are okay with paying for fake reviews are bad and dishonorable ones.

Dr. Brody is the best dentist I had ever met. He is very dedicated to what he does and truly cares about his clients. I was always afraid of dentists and therefore I haven’t seen a dentist for quite a while. Dr. Brody’s friendly and caring manner had made all my fears gone. He provided me a very thorough dental exam and education on dental health. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
