While Dr. Fleiner is a nice guy, I cannot recommend his practice. He's got all the bells and whistles and latest machinery, but that also means he's got to find a way to pay for it. That means his office dupes patients into UNNECESSARY PROCEDURES. Two examples: first, his office recommended I replace my perfectly good silver fillings with new clear fillings. Well, now that I have a new dentist, I've learned my old silver fillings are better and last longer than the clear ones. I did not need to replace my fillings. second, his hygienist recommended a full deep scaling -- even though I brush and floss daily. I got a second opinion from a great dentist who told me I didn't need any such thing. If you're a patient here and Dr. Fleiner or his hygienist recommends a procedure -- don't take their word for it. Get a 2nd opinion.

About Hygienist: Dr. Fleiner once had a great hygienist-- I think her name was Rosie. She was thorough, pleasant, and experienced. But she retired and the current hygienist is some impatient young girl who rushed through the cleaning and break-neck speed and finished up by telling me I had the early stages of periodontal disease. I got a second opinion. It's been two years, and I'm just fine.

I know this doctor: 2+ years
