Dr. Essey has always been great, but last week he and his crew were particularly awesome! The weekend before Christmas I fell and broke BOTH front teeth! (Photo included, though some of the damage was on the back side of the teeth and isn't visible from the front. ) I called first thing Monday morning, praying they could fit me in that day, and thankfully they found time for me, despite being super busy! He fixed up my teeth and now they look good as new! I'm very impressed with how everything turned out.

You can't even tell I broke my teeth at all! THANK YOU, DR. ESSEY!

Dr. Essey and his team are amazing when it comes to patient care. Not only is the office incredibly accommodating if you're running late (trust me, I've been there!), but Dr. Essey and the entire staff go above and beyond to make even the most anxious patients feel at ease.

Their calming demeanor, explanation of procedures and gentle approach to treatments make each visit a stress-free experience. I highly recommend this practice for the quality of work, their professionalism, and understanding.

Great dentist & office. I was looking for a dentist a few years ago due to relocation. The office is nice and clean and zero wait time for my appointments . Dr Essey helped me get a new Invisalign Retainer from his peer in Fox Chapel. He also was able to take my husband in as a new patient to help fix his cap that fell off. They are very accommodating

I have been taking my son here for about 2 years now. I got an email yesterday about time and date for his appointment that was made in January. The date was correct the time was not! I would not have picked the time because I know myself or hubby can’t make it there. So I call, ride on the phone, didn’t apologize, told me she was new and not her fault.

She told me no appointment for that time, I said we can’t get there to the time that was sent in email. Nothing about rescheduling! This was the business issue not mine. I don’t even want to take him back to this place!!!
