Alexander Vilderman,DDS

He is great at what he does, and he also offers different types of sedation for people like me that need it. He takes his time to see what the problem is and comes up with a great plan to take care of what needs to be done soon versus doing the small things first. I have been coming to see him for dental care for over 10 years and would never switch to another dentist.

«I went back twice for them to be fixed. The first time, the dentist tried convincing me it was nothing even when I was in a lot of pain and I was sent home. Hilarious.»
OMG! I don’t know why, but nothing changes at the DR Vilderman world… I went to Dr Vilderman more then 10 years ago and came to this page today by mistake and found new reviews with similar complaints.
Dr Vilderman very bad person even talking sweet. I went to see him because had little pain and also wanted to clean my teeth.
He was not there and another doctor gave me medicine. My pain went away. So, I came for cleaning but Dr Vilderman said that he has to extract the tooth. I told him that I have no pain and want cleaning. He told me that if he will extract my tooth he will make me 2 bridges– upper and lower. (I had one tooth missing for 13 years and it was not bothering me, but tooth Dr wanted to take out was right over empty space)
I said that I don’t think I need tooth extracted, but Dr was adamant, and I said OK, just pull this tooth if it so dangerous, BUT NO BRIDGES!
DR gave me shots, I closed my eyes, he did something and when finished told me that he «prepared me for lower BRIDGE!!!
I could do nothing– it was done. He pulled out healthy upper tooth. And prepared (cut) two teeth to make a lower bridge.
So, I had couple visits and got one lower bridge.
I had terrible pain, couldn’t close my mouth, couldn’t talk, sleep, saliva was running from my mouth like I’m a dog, it started to smell, but every time I would come back and complain Dr would tell «you have to wait, it all will go away in 6 month.»
So, after 6 month I went to my primary doctor and asked referral to.psychiatrist.
My doctor was surprised and after I tell her my story she said that problem — my bridge and I need to go to another dentist, not psychiatrist.
When I came to new dentist he had to remove bridge and puss fly out of my mouth.
If I wait any longer may be I’m not will be here now.
Doctor had to extract one more tooth and made me new bridge.
It is long story but I hope it will help somebody not to became a Dr Alexander Vilderman victim.

Not even worth a star– but they get one because Unilocal requires it. They did not fill my cavities correctly. I went back twice for them to be fixed. The first time, the dentist tried convincing me it was nothing even when I was in a lot of pain and I was sent home. Hilarious. I went again to a different dentist at this office. Same thing. They didn’t even x-​ray to double check if the fillings were done properly! Sent home again. FML. The only positive thing was that the receptionist was pretty nice.

The one star goes to me, having to endure what was my worse dental experience ever!
First I called in to make sure they accept my insurance, after the receptionist assured me it was fine I scheduled my appointment.
I came in at 10 am and had to fill out an outrageous amount of paperwork. Then I got my 48 x-​rays done!!! If I add up all the times I got my x-​rays taken my whole entire life it would never amount to this!!! Mind you, I only had a minor chip to my tooth that had to be filled… I have no idea why they would need so many angles of my mouth for a simple filling…
Then I waited 30 minutes on the dentist table for the Dentist (who I have to say was at least kind) to show up and almost completely ignore the reason I came in for.
He found ten thousand other things that weren’t urgent, but had in his opinion to be done (even though I was at a different dentist only 3 months ago that «cleared» me and said my teeth were in great shape).
After I told him I wanted only to take care of my chipped tooth this visit, he said that his receptionist scheduled me for a check up and that he usually doesn’t do any «fixing» on the first meeting… this after I specifically told the receptionist what it was I was coming in for, as well as jotting the reason on one of the million of pages I had to fill out when I came in (not a yearly check up, but an emergency cavity fill).
So then he sends in the receptionist to tell me how much this all will cost and she tells me that if I wanted a white filling I would have to pay the difference out of pocket. So I ask her how much more would a white filling be and she says to me that she doesn’t know since they don’t work with my insurance (!!! this after her assuring me on the phone that they do work with my insurance!!!)
Anyways, long story short, It was 1 ½ hours into my appointment and I still had a open gap in my tooth that wasn’t filled or remotely about to be filled… the dentist was with another patient at this point, leaving me to wonder if I will EVER get out of there!!! and l still needed to deal with his idiotic receptionist that couldn’t tell me how much everything would cost …
Bottom line, if you want to spend all day on a dentist bed and watch «Cheaters» on T.V. and get no answers as to how much you are going to pay, and want the dentist to find millions of other non– urgent things to do to your teeth… oh, and get brain cancer for the ridiculous amounts of x-​rays, then go to City Dental, Maybe Dr. Vilderman won’t be too busy with other clients during your scheduled appointment and will actually fix what you came in for in the first place.
BTW– I left the practice after two hours of crap, without my tooth being tended to. I just gave up on waiting for them to get their act together…

Decent dental care, but what is this shit about BOTH myself and a friend with different insurance «Accidently» being misquoted our out of pocket expenses. Both were told that our portion was $$, then two months later we were BOTH told that our insurance’s refused to pay as much as they should have and that we were responsible for the extra $$$$. We both called our insurances and both insurances said we were being over charged by the dentist.
This happened a year ago, but now as I look for a new dentist, which I hate doing, the looking, the going, the paying more then I thought, it’s starting to grate on me again and you, my dear Unilocal readers are the beneficiaries of my long pent up crankiness.
UPDATE: Found fabulous new dentist who told me I need to get my teeth cleaned more often. Um… I told her that I had had them cleaned regularly, although was a little late with the finding a new dentist and all… and she sighed and shook her head then proceeded to spend about 4 times as long cleaning my teeth as my whole entire visit the this office used to take.
