Jay H Samuels, DDS

Great experience– had a chipped tooth with limited time to address– not only is it perfect functionally and esthetic the office could not have been more pleasant with my dilemma… thank you dr. Samuels!

I feel badly leaving a negative review because he is a nice guy, but I have serious reservations about his professionalism as a dentist and would be remiss in not sharing my experience.
I saw Dr. Samuels several years ago after receiving a recommendation from a friend. Office was clean, convenient, and the hygienists were excellent. Dr. Samuels was pleasant and knowledgeable. I had never had any serious dental issues and my visits were pretty routine. During my last visit to Dr. Samuels, he pulled out a fancy tool that could detect cavities in my teeth. According to this new technology, I had 3 new cavities. I had never had a cavity in my life and now I had three. He told me I should schedule an appointment to have them dealt filled ($$$) When I questioned him about the accuracy of this device, he assured me it was accurate. I went to get a second opinion from another dentist. This second dentist told me what I already knew in my gut– the «tool» was a joke and my teeth were fine. No cavities. I found a new dentist.
My husband, who also saw Dr. Samuels, decided he liked him enough to stay with him. Until about a year ago. My husband came home from an appointment with Dr. Samuels in which he learned he would need to have work done which would cost thousands. I implored him to just go see my dentist once for a second opinion. My dentist– who is now also my husband’s– merely adjusted my husband’s night guard and viola– within a month, problem solved, no extensive dental work, no excessive cost.
Dr. Samuels may do great work, but I do not believe he is a good dentist. A good dentist will do good work AND be honest and conservative in his/​her treatment. I do not believe this is the case with Dr. Samuels and I encourage anyone seeing him, who is told they need a lot of work (and must spend a lot of money) to take the time to get a second opinion from a reputable, honest dentist.

I have been a patient of Dr. Jay Samuels for many years and I can’t say enough about his calming professionalism, perfectionism and knowledge of dentistry and caring personality. The office staff is always very friendly and very helpful. Everyone in the practice is excellent at what they do and I would highly recommend Dr. Samuels to all adults and their children!!! He really is the best and has earned my rave reviews in an age where very often the patient does not come first. A+.

I just finished my 6 Month Smiles treatment with Dr. Samuels, which means that I have been visiting their office quite often for the last 6 months. I would recommend the office to anyone in a heart beat. I had been unhappy with my crowded smile for years, and had saved and researched my options. I wasn’t going into this lightly, but I immediately felt as though this was the right treatment and right office for me. The office is extremely personable, well-​run, clean, and professional. Dr. Samuels has an excellent chair-​side manner, and is a perfectionist when it comes to teeth. Also, I never felt pushed into anything (for example, when I needed a filling replaced, it was suggested that I could just go to my normal dentist, where insurance would pick up the bulk of the tab – I had been planning on this, I really appreciated not feeling awkward.) I felt like a participant in the process and never was confused about the treatment. Most importantly, I’m very happy with results!
