Norman Schneider, DDS

Dr. Schneider has been my dentist from 1971 to 1986 he is a good dentist knows how to talk to his patients i was 16 years old when i started getting work done and his assistant name was Martha at the time Mr. Schneider the only reason why i left his office was because when i changed jobs he was no longer under my dental plan so i had to change dentist but i would recommend him to anyone, he must have close if not 50 years of experience.

There is always Frank Sinatra music playing, and for that alone, I give five stars. I’ve been to Dr. Schneider’s office a number of times for myself and my son. Everyone there has been consistently polite and professional, and Dr. Schneider is a good man. Dr. Siddiqi is a great dentist; not only gentle and pleasant, she also restored a badly chipped canine tooth better than I ever dreamed. It looks as good now as it did over a year ago when she first fixed it, and truly natural in appearance. Don’t expect the bells and whistles and you’ll be fine.

Dr. Schneider has been my family’s Dentist for to many years to count. He and his staff are always courteous, compassionate and will always make sure I fully understand all procedures prior to being done. What I really love about Dr. Schneider compared to other dentists I have visited is he will never do any unnecessary procedures to pad the bill. He is always honest and has been a staple in the community for a very long time. His hands are the so gentle that you are amazed when he is finished. He truly cares about his patients and will fit you in for an emergency anytime.
His staff is also incredible. The Office Manager Stephanie is always helpful and will go out of her way to make sure you are treated properly. When my insurance ran out for the year, Stephanie was able to make it that I was able to afford a procedure being done instead of having to wait four months in pain. Dr. Siddiggi who also works for Dr. Schneider happens to be one of the gentlest and efficient dentists around that I fell asleep in the chair when she was doing a filling. My family will never go to another practice.

The first RED FLAG was before I even procceeded to go to this establishment for a cleaning, The receptionist answers the telephone and I can barely hear here… But, I do hear TONS of STATIC like an old school Chinese restaurant joint and she tells me the phone is broken! A dentist cant afford to purchase a new $ 20 cordless phone. OK… But, at any rate I went along and scheduled a cleaning!
On the date of my appointment, Which was scheduled for 9÷17÷2013 @ 1:30 PM, I admit I was approximately 5 minutes late, If that. I’d like to say 3. But, Whatever.
I sign in etc… Ok, I look at my time its now about 2:00 PM, I start to get antsy and start conversating with other patients whom are also waiting and complaining in spanish, Both whom had 1PM appointments. (OVER BOOKING)
At approximately 2:10 PM… I ask the NOT so empathetic receptionist, How much longer should I have to wait, Because I have to be somewhere important at 3;30 PM, She, With an attitude tells me … «I CAME LATE AND THERE ARE 2 ppl in front of me» (Yes, 2 people who has been waiting prior and had 1PM appointments)
I politely told her that I’d have to cancel the appointment.
I find this place to be unproffesional for over booking and inconsiderate as well as disrespectful of their patients time.
NEVER AGAIN!!!
DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME.

I agree with the previous reviewer with the bad experience. The staff is rude and they act begrudgingly towards you, like you’re the one wasting their time. I went there once two years ago, because it was the closest dental office to my house and I really needed an appointment for my inflamed wisdom teeth. The cleaning was SO painful! Dr. Schneider scraped at my teeth and gums with his tools and didn’t even finish the cleaning. If it weren’t for my other two wisdom teeth bothering me recently, I wouldn’t have returned. Luckily this time, I was treated by a younger, more patient dentist who didn’t leave my gums raw after the cleaning. The dental assistant was also very sweet and gentle.
But, when it came to getting a referral for the extraction, the receptionist and manager were both very negative and unhelpful, giving me excuses as to why they couldn’t schedule an extraction for me today (I had eaten breakfast already, so I couldn’t get general anesthesia), without offering alternative solutions, aside from blank stares. They didn’t even offer me local anesthetic. It was only until I suggested having local, that they scheduled the extraction for me. As an informed patient, I know what my options are, but as professionals, they should be the ones offering and explaining them to me. I give them two stars for their awful attitude problem, poor people skills, and unprofessional staff. It would have been one star, but the new dentist and nice assistant made my second visit just a smidge more pleasant.

Had dental work done today.
AWFUL!!!
Receptionist: RUDE
Dr. Mirzha or Mirza: ARGUED WITH ME AND WAS NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL. DIDNT TELL ME IF I HAD CAVITIES OR IF THERE WAS ANYTHING I SHOULD’VE BEEN CONCERNED WITH. AND WHAT WAS THE ARGUMENT ABOUT? — — - I wanted to replace my Mercury Composite or Fillings for the White Composites and he tells me they are not going to do it unless they are decaying. (Mind you my insurance pays for it) Explained to me that the Mercury in the fillings is minimal and is compressed and that its not going to go into my blood. He kept giving me attitude and telling me that he was not going to replace them.
Manager of the Dental Practice: Which I believe she said her name was Stephanie? Older woman with Brunette tinted hair and light eyes.
After Dr. Mirzha told me that I could come back Monday to have them removed, the Manager told me that she didn’t approve of it and that he just told me to make an appointment to make me happy???
WHAT IN THE WORLD???
DO NOT GO HERE!!! IT IS BAD, AWFUL AND DISGUSTING THE WAY THEY TREAT THEIR CLIENTS. THANK GOD ITS MY FIRST AND LAST VISIT.
