Dr. Elfman and staff can be described as quintessential professionals.This is a busy office and the attention and caring they pay to each patient would bear out that fact. I have had many procedures performed by Dr. Elfman. To date I have not experienced one negative moment!

For years I have feared going to the dentist for cleanings, fillings etc…My girlfriend recommended Dr Elfman to me. While I was very nervous my first time at his office, I was immediately put to ease. He explained everything, in a kind and professional manner.
And now, I actually look forward to going to the dentist to have work done on my teeth. No anxiety, no worries!!! Best dentist ever!!!

I had a small emergency a couple weeks ago and was away from my home dentist, I called around and explained my situation. They were able to clear enough time in their schedule to see me that morning and their service was great.

My very first visit to see Dr Elfman was EXCELLENT! Never have I ever had a dentist who was very caring and compassionate since previous dentist experiences were never good. He always made me feel comfortable as he would always explain what he was going to do BEFORE he did anything, his staff is exceptional and they are also very genuine with their care you receive even if it’s just for your routine cleaning. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Elfman for your dental needs!

I was a patient of Dr. Elfman for a little over a year. My first experience was okay, he informed me I would need some fillings and I went back to get them done.

I was a voluntary patient at the STCC dental hygiene program to assist students in patient count, and when I went for Xrays, they told me to consult my dentist as I had a cavity where I was having tooth pain - they also mentioned how most of the fillings he had done looked very poor. I made an appointment with Dr. Elfman to have this looked at, and from the get go he began the appointment with "If STCC finds something wrong, tell THEM to fix it instead of sending you to me." (they do not do fillings - they are students that do cleanings and xrays, which I informed him of)

During this appointment, he numbed my gums and when he asked if it felt good, I said it wasn't quite numb yet, so he roughly gave a second injection. The next time, he didn't even ask and began the procedure. I could feel the drill and the pain was almost instant, so I started to make audible sounds of discomfort, and all he said was "I know, just stay still". Until I continued to show discomfort, he finally asked what "the issue" was, and I told him I could feel everything and the numbing agent did not work. He told me he was going to finish as he was almost done.

I left with severe tooth pain and his parting comment was "Don't forget - next time STCC finds something, tell them not to send you to me".

For a dental "professional", he is lacking a lot of professionalism. I will not be returning.

As a family, we have been going to Dr. Elfman for more than 30 years. He and his excellent staff have been a pleasure to work with. Always professional and friendly, they have a superior level of care that keeps us coming back. Regular 6 month cleaning visits make it easy for everyone! Highly recommend.

Since the very first time I Walked into the office I’ve received nothing but great care and service. Dr.Elfman and his team are really here to help. I loved that they explain every step of the process to keep me well aware of what is going on.Another great element is that The dentist is extremely gentle.All and All I’ve had a great experience and appreciate Dr.Elfman and his staff for accommodating me and providing outstanding service .
I highly recommend doctor Elfman’s office.

For the first time in my life I've experienced dental work without pain. Dr.Elfman and his staff are truly the best around and I've been through many. Very polite and caring staff , you will always feel comfortable and well taken care of !

Had a great experience haven’t been to a dentist in over 6years due to dentist phobia had bad experiences in the pass until I came in to Dr.Elfmans office for tooth 🦷 extractions. His staff treated me very well and very friendly the service is excellent not painful at all will definitely go back for my routine checkups.
