Dr. Fishkin and his entire staff are just magical when it comes to patient care and dentistry. The office staff is second to none in attention to detail and customer focus. More importantly he and his associate have exceptional chairside manner and have been able to treat issues that were longstanding from a previous dentist and clearly explain and review the treatments. My teeth haven't felt or looked so good in 10 years!

booked a cleaning appt with my husband 6 months ago. we love dr fishkin and were happy to come back to his practice. our appt 6 months ago went well. we were able to have our cleanings at the same time which made our trip to mountainside from jersey city very convenient. we booked concurrent appts again. arrived at 3. waited in the waiting room for 25 mins before we were told (because we asked) that the one hygienist was running very late and we wouldn't be seen until 45 mins after our scheduled appt. then we were told that ... read more

Went into the office today for a checkup and cleaning. checkup was done and two hours later still in the office bc he does another 3 patients in between. Keeping you uninformed while he does so. In the end no cleaning was even done. lack of communication and service under par.

I had horrible experience. Dr Fishkin changed me fee for crown and gave me veneer that was kept falling off. It was horrible not knowing when it is going to fall off again. I asked to replace it and he told me he will charge me again for crown. I am never going back. He will charge your insurance to the max with unnecessary exams and x-ray. He is money grabbing no ggod dentist.

I had a very quick cleaning once and this dentist did a quickie exam. I'm sure he billed for a full comprehensive exam. My insurance didn't give him enough financial incentive to take time and explain what he thought needed to be done. Not that he put any thought into it. I went to thise because i was only interested in meeting this crook before having any serious expensive work done that involved paying out of pocket. I have some dental knowledge, so for me it was easy to determine if this was THE ONE. He wasn't. RUN AWAY F... read more

I have been a patient of Dr Fishkin for a few years now. A couple of days ago I received a bill for services that I questioned. I called the office and spoke with the Office Manager who also is conveniently Dr Fishkin wife. From the moment I got on the phone and questioned a fee I was black listed. Part of being in the health care profession and dealing with patients is dealing with billing questions. As a patient I am fully within my rights to ask about any and all fees associated with my care. I was spoken to in a deroga... read more

Fishkin and his associates (hustlers?) are guided by fees and have thinning ethics. Shame on them. I've been going here for years--that is until recently when Dr. Fishkin changed the business' priorities from quality to commission. (search "fee-for-service" and "overutilization" online). Since Fishkin took over, the quality of dentistry has degraded. He and his associates push services and treatments that are both unnecessary and more expensive. They recommend treatments that require more visits and have a low success rate... read more
