Grateful Patients
Read our patient testimonials below to learn more about what our patients have to say about us.
General
Grateful Patient
"I recently have come to Eastman for dental care for lack of insurance. The price is right; I pay cash, I get excellent care. Dr. Elizabeth Wierchowski put me on a great plan towards dental care. She not only does her practice with the patient in mind, but also with great professionalism. Keep putting out great doctors like her. Life will be better for all… also like to thank your assistant and front desk people. Well done UR." --Submitted on Web by grateful patient
Daniela Miculeanici
“We feel very confident with Dr. Dellanzo because she knows how to talk to patients. As a nurse, I know that patients don’t always know what to ask, but Dr. Dellanzo takes the time to educate you on all aspects. Working with someone you trust – especially when it comes to your health – is invaluable.” --Daniela Miculeanici, New York, NY
Alex Picciano
“Coming to Eastman Dental is worth every mile. I trust them completely. Dr. Alina Dellanzo is so energetic and all her energy goes into what she’s doing. And, the cost is so much less than what we would pay in NYC, even with all the travel. I like coming here, it’s very comfortable and I have no stress.” --Alex Picciano, New York, NY
Pediatric
Ray Durant
When you take a child to the doctor’s office, you want to see a pediatric doctor, I mean you don’t want to go internal medicine. You go to a pediatric office. When you go to a dentist, and you’re taking your child, you want to go to a pediatric office. And with Eastman Dental, it’s good to know… it’s comforting, it’s rewarding –you feel more at ease knowing there are pediatric professionals on the other side of the door there. It’s not just a hello, good bye, we’ll see you in 6 months. You develop a relationship. That’s what’s exciting. Going to Eastman Dental is like going to Wegman’s or Tops, you always bump into someone you know. I love that! --Ray Durant, Rochester, NY
Natasha Sealy-Robinson
I have three children two of them require extensive dental work--Justin, age 9 and Tiffani, age 8. Justin was assigned to Dr. Terry Farquhar and Tiffani was assigned to Dr. Gill. Both Dr.’s dealt with me very professionally but more importantly took the time to connect with my children who have had scary dental experiences in the past.
Dr. Farquhar noticed that I was a self pay client and took the time to explain to me not only what needed to be done but the cost. He could have simply referred me to Child Health Plus by giving me a number to call but he went above and beyond and initiated the process on his own by contacting [social worker] Leonora Colaruotolo.
Mrs. Colaruotolo took the time to thoroughly explain the Child Health Plus process and told me to personally contact her if I ran into any stumbling blocks.
After several calls into the Child Health Plus facilitator with no success and my Justin having a dental emergency (a boil on his gum caused by an infected tooth), I called Mrs. Colaruotolo to see if there was anything that she could do. She promptly called me back and as promised, she assisted me by putting me in contact with Kim Flint.
Mrs. Flint met me in the lobby and made calls and emails on my behalf.
Both Mrs. Colaruotolo and Mrs. Flint came to the examination room to see how my son was doing. As a result of Mrs. Colaruotolo and Mrs. Flint efforts I received a call from the child health plus facilitator the very next day.
Regardless of the out come I am extremely grateful of the help I have received thus far. My son was treated by Dr. Ostro who was awesome to say the least. He administered anesthesia and pulled my son's tooth out all before his tears could hit his cheek.
There aren't any words that can truly express my gratitude towards the Eastman Dental Staff. I am honored to have made their acquaintance and must say I am glad they have chosen the profession they have. You have an amazing staff. Thank you doesn't seem enough but thank you!! --Natasha Sealy-Robinson
Barbara Jackson
Barbara Jackson first learned about Eastman Dental through Head Start, a preschool for her great-grandson Adrian, which requires a dentist visit to enroll.
At the time, Mrs. Jackson was going through the process of getting legal custody of Adrian, so he was not on her insurance yet. Shortly afterwards, Adrian took a fall and cracked his tooth. After praying about the situation, she called Eastman Dental and made an appointment at its School #17 location.
“Even though Adrian was uninsured, they still cared for him,” Ms. Jackson said. “From the very first time I went there, I was so impressed. They have a caring spirit there, and it shows.”
Dr. Huang extracted Adrian’s tooth, and later provided treatment in the operating room to take care of some present decay as well as implement preventive measures for him.
“Dr. Huang took great care of us,” Mrs. Jackson said. “and Lenora did whatever she could to help me. She and Colleen were very kind. They would call and check how he’s doing. Everyone there is very helpful and concerned.
“I just thank God for Eastman Dental and all the wonderful people He put me in their presence,” she added. “I’ve been blessed just because of their kindness and because who they are and I enjoy going there. From the receptionist area all the way back, everyone is friendly.” --Barbara Jackson, Rochester, NY
Sherrie Tanner Campbell
“I take my children to Eastman Dental Downtown because the staff is very patient with my children and they always take time to answer any questions or fears they may have – especially my daughter – she is a girly girl and gets scared. I love its warm, cozy atmosphere and everyone greets me by name.” --Sherrie Tanner Campbell, Rochester, NY
Orthodontics
Paul Stella
“Eastman Dental has been a worry-free solution to my son’s orthodontics needs. His doctors are very attentive and do a great job keeping us updated on his progress. Also, I appreciate the personal attention provided by the entire staff.” --Paul Stella
Cleft
Lindsay Kolk
“Everyone we spoke to had nothing but great things to say about Eastman Dental and Dr. Karp and Strong Hospital – everyone we talked to told us this was the best choice we could make for our child. Sierra’s life has been changed forever by everyone here at Eastman Dental…everywhere you go, you don’t see medical professionals put the time and effort and care into their patients of what I’ve experienced here.” --Lindsay Kolk, Elmira, NY, mother of Sierra who was born with cleft lip and palate.
Our Physicians
Adina Jucan, D.D.S.
Was very quick to do a great job. Very pleased with all the work!
Meghan Barroner, D.M.D. & Joseph Fantuzzo, D.D.S., M.D., Mark Ridenour, D.M.D.
Over a two day period, I spent approximately 6.5 hours with this team. I had a very complicated, painful condition and these doctors were determined to help. I can't say enough good things about their care and skill.
Ms. Betty Moses
After experiencing severe tooth pain and numerous cancelled appointments related to staff unavailability, Ms. Betty kept me on the cancellation list so that I could be treated when there was an appointment sooner. Ms. Betty called me and my appointment was scheduled the following day. I am so grateful that I will be pain free.
Fnu Chitvan
Dr. is doing an awesome job at working on getting my teeth done and should be recognized for her work. She has worked on getting my molds for my dentures and is getting them molded so they fit right. Dr. shows the utmost respect when in there and seems to smile and talk about her work. Your staff is doing a great job too.
Lisa Pfenninger
Lisa is always professional, hardworking, conscientious, pleasant and thorough. She makes me look forward to my cleaning. She does a good job!
Rita Ruchlin-Lyubchanskaya
Her encouragement has improved my own dental habits. Our cleanings have gone progressively easier. I have sometime thought I didn’t feel like brushing but immediate the thought follows –do it for Rita, Rita says I’m worth it. Then I almost always brush. Her pleasant, relaxed optimism and serenity radiates to me during our treatments.
Oriana Ly, D.D.S.
Dr. Ly was informative and compassionate when our toddler had a dental injury. We were impressed with her advice and patient manner. Thank you!
Abdulaziz Basha Hijazi, D.D.S.
Thank you for extending your services to me. You listen to me and explain everything very well so I can understand. You’re very humorous, lovable, warm, witty, caring, respectful and courageous. Be blessed and keep the faith.
Celeste Giles
Thank you so much for all of your assistance with my appointments and answering my questions. You were not only helpful but incredibly caring and attentive. Your compassion is very much appreciated during this very difficult time. Thank you, so much again!
Dr. Mark Sorensen
Thank you so much for making me feel comfortable during my extraction. You are a great team and an amazing asset to the staff. Although I hope I never need our services again – I certainly wouldn’t mind being your patient again. Thank you again.
Mark removed an impacted wisdom tooth and he was very pleasant and caring for my needs. He explained everything before the procedure very well. He is pleasant, caring and shows compassion. He did a great job.
