Ronald Schwalb, DDS

You will not be sorry if you go to this office. Not only is Dr Schwalb someone who does only what’s necessary and at an unbelievably fair price, and serves all socio-​economic groups (UNlike Park Avenue orthos who charge double what he does), his insurance maven, Kris, is fabulous. She is always proactive, responsive, efficient as hell, and gives you all the information you need without your having to ask. Just today after I had trouble with another office and the insurance, she made a call and straightened the entire situation out, saving me thousands of dollars. She goes the extra mile with evening emails, morning calls, and is always cheerful. Some reviewers here are complaining about Dr Schwalb being sarcastic. I don’t see him that way. He is not gonna baby talk to your kid, but he is fair, knows his stuff, and has a dry wit. AND he has great deals with the insurance companies. So far my daughter never dreaded going there and we are very pleased.

I’ll have to lay it out plain and simple. i went from the worst orthodontist who takes Healthplex to the best-​Dr. Schwalb. I can’t put into words the professionalism by both the Dr and his staff. Let me give it a try: professional, clean, worthy, attentive and helpful. I read all of the other reviews and couldn’t disagree more with the negative one. poo on them!
And his one staff member «C_​_​_​_​» (you know who you are), she put more time and effort into helping me resolve my insurance issues with the previous orthodontist, i think i want to marry her!
I highly, highly recommend Dr Schwalb***

I saw Dr. Schwalb for years during my Invisalign treatment. However, because of the nature of his office, I interacted more often with his administrators. I found one in particular to be unprofessional, unpleasant, and sometimes condescending. Dr. Schwalb acknowledged challenges with her a couple of times but didn’t seem to take adequate steps to address the situation. I would not go back based on how unpleasant it was to interact with his office staff.

Definitely would not recommend this guy. He’s terrible with patients — impatient, grumpy, sarcastic, condescending to say the least.
A plus is that the visit was really short.
but overall TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED

I gave 3 stars because he’s great at straightening teeth but he’s a little on the grumpy/​miserable side. Not a people person but he’s a great Orthodontist which is what matters in the end I guess…

Dr Schwalb, this guy makes me laugh. He’s very direct, which is helpful when you’re an adult trying to get this done during the work day. You’re in and out fast, with frequent checkups. I enjoyed my time getting Invisalign from him.

I went to see Dr. Schwalb for an orthodontics consultation on January 21. We discussed several treatment options, including Invisalign and traditional braces. He indicated that either treatment would likely take around 8 months of work. When I asked for a price quote he told me I should receive one via email in ‘a few days.’ It has been 29 days and I just received my quote, which included incorrect information on the Invisalign pricing ($ 800 for 8 months, which is completely inaccurate) and absolutely no pricing on the traditional braces. I would not go back to this doctor based on their customer service alone — if they can’t handle getting me a correct price in a timely manner, there is no chance I would trust them with my teeth.

Dr Schwalb straightened my son’s teeth recently. My son now has a beautiful smile and I am very grateful to Dr. Scwalb. He has a nice manner and my son loved him. I recommend him!

I first saw Dr. Schwalb a couple years ago when I had lost my original retainer /​nightguard and needed a replacement. I remember him being very professional, efficient, and honest — if I recall correctly, he offered me 2 options, and I chose the thinner, cheaper, more comfortable option.
I returned to see him earlier today because I was worried that my teeth had slipped back into an edge-​to-​edge bite, which my dentist cautioned could lead to chipping. He told me that if I wear my nightguard all the time, there is little danger of chipping, as my teeth will typically not be touching during the day. He said that he could correct my bite, but that it would cost thousands of dollars and leave me with gaps between my teeth which I’d then need my dentist to fill in.
Dr. Schwalb had every incentive to offer me as much treatment as possible, but instead he gave me honest advice that saved me (and lost him) thousands of dollars!
I was also out of there in 20 minutes, without feeling like our appt was rushed.
If I could, I’d perhaps subtract half a star for the fact that my teeth are now end-​to-​end, but it’s possible they had already slipped back to that position by the time I originally went for a replacement retainer/​nightguard, as at that point I had gone several months without wearing my retainer/​nightguard.

I just had a consultation but, Dr. Schwalb and his other dentist are attentive and helpful on the options for dental work, insurance and payment. We shall see!
