Reading Dental Associates Reviews 3

I am a long time patient of this dental office. Terrence is my usual hygienist. Due to his absence, Stephanie was filling in. I can tell you, she is a lovely woman. She truly cared about my comfort, and she was thorough and gentle. She was personable, professional and I left hoping she gets to fill in again. She's definitely a keeper. I would highly recommend this entire practice. Especially if you have a dental phobia. Every person there truly cares about the patient experience.

I am a 63 yr old man and have suffered from extreme dental phobia for over 35 yrs
I attempted a few dentist appt but passed out once ran out of the office another time or cont to cancel appt
Meanwhile I suffered broken teeth tooth infections and pain
Finally after working with a there’s and an outstanding dentist “a gift from God”, Dr Annie Amsalem DDS, the oral surgeon. From the moment I walked into the Reading Dental Assoc on Ash st, and met staff and dental hygenist and a Dr Hojjati (she worked on my dentures) and of course Dr. Annie I felt a calmness and peace I never felt in a dentist office.
From the beginning taking X-rays and setting up a plan of care, Dr Annie explain everything honestly and with kindness and reassurance.
You just have to read Dr Annie bio on the website to see her expertise and vast knowledge and experience this also helped me feel at ease.
Dr Annie and I decided on nitrous oxide, which in my research is not available in all practices. It greatly reduced my anxiety. I had to have my upper teeth extracted and we decided it was best to do it gradually several teeth in each sitting.
The first thing I noticed is how focused she is and ensures that you have no pain.
The whole staff worked as a team I called several times after extractions with questions and I was always greeted with empathy and patience and quick responses.
They all were there to cheer me on and to lift me up when I would become discouraged or if I was crying they were so compassionate and sometimes the tears were just feelings of gratitude for these amazing people and I was walking through the fear. As time went on I would look forward to the next appointment because I knew it was another step forward and I would tell Dr Annie how I never looked forward to seeing a dentist till I met her.
She was open to talking with my therapist after releases signed and my therapist wants to send other clients with dental phobia to Dr Annie
Dr.Hojjati worked on the dentures with me making sure they were comfortable and correctly aligned and she was always open to seeing me to make an adjustment if I had any problems.
I now have a great pair of upper dentures and smiled for a picture tonight. It was the first time in years
There is a verse in the Old Testament in summary Sirach 38 my hand is upon the physician and God gives them the honor they deserve…
God’s hand is truly upon all those who work at this dental practice
If you have any fears of dental don’t hesitate go to these very special people

Very disappointed! As a patient, I feel I deserve the courtesy of being told that the business was sold BEFORE I show up for my scheduled appointment. Dr. Iebba left with no notice and closed out her books leaving me without my credit. New practice will not honor it, acknowledge that they owe me money, or return calls.
