Absolutely amazing experience with this dental office!!! I came in with chipped off old tooth feeling with stained teeth by poor choices and genetics and cavities in all my front teeth! This people jumped into action and made me feel like a new person with smile I am not going to hide anymore.

Huge THANK you goes out to Dima / doctor and Rita ! Omg you guys made

His staff is great! He is flexible and most of all he has a sense of humor that tops it all. I have been with him for many years . He loves his work. Dentistry requires strong hands, and expertise . The dentist and entire office fulfills your every need.

The worst dentist I ever had. He was so nice when we meet, and told me that in two months max I will walk out satisfied and the work will be done. I explained that my bite was lost and he needed know how to correct it. He lied and claimed that he has a special machine and its not a problem. Also, he told me that he helped a patient before me with the same problem with the bite, and the was patient happy. Before he finished his work, I paid in full with credit cards. For 4 years, I had to drive from NJ to Philadelphia, and he never found my bite. And I had many bad bridges. He knows how to make

I cannot say enough good about Dr. Karagodsky and his team. I found him through a friend when I was in excruciating pain. The good doctor managed to squeeze me in the same day. I told him that I have dental-phobia, and he made me feel very at ease. I ended up needing one of my wisdom teeth removed, and he made sure it was as painless as possible. Thank-you to Dr. Karagodsky and his team for squeezing me in and taking care of me. Im your patient now.

The entire procedure was completed in his office, the implants fit perfectly, they feel like natural teeth, and not once did I experience any pain or discomfort. I can't
