I was contacted on August 6, 2026 regarding an appointment for my sister that was to occur on September 10. I was told that the hygienist couldn’t see her because of back issues. They suggested I see another dentist in the building. I said I found it strange that they were recommending another dentist and asked if she could see another hygienist. They said she was the only one there. My next question made things very clear to me. I asked the receptionist what will all the other patients do. Her response was that it depends on the patient and how much bending the hygienist would have. Since all patients sit in the same dental chair every hygienist has to bend over in order to take care of them. My sister has dementia and is not at all a difficult patient. Once she is in the chair she is very cooperative. She can’t talk or walk at all but poses no problems during her teeth cleaning. This is a clear case of discrimination against a disabled person and I am appalled at their attitude. The last time we were there they cleaned her teeth for about 15 minutes and when the hygienist called in Dr. Lindenfeld he said “I don’t need to see her”. He didn’t even take the time to look

I had my first consultation with Dr Lindenfeld on Dec 30, 2025, regarding doing a crown lengthening. He is in my dental insurance network, but he is only interested in having the patient pay out of pocket. On my first consult with him, he openly stated that he does many crown lengthenings, and his patients pay out of pocket, and then they can file with the insurance company for reimbursement. I was not one of those patients. Why should I pay out of pocket if the insurance is paying for it? It took Dr Lindenfeld 2 months to get the pre-estimate approved for my crown lengthening with the insurance company from Dec 30 2025, to Feb 25, 2026. He deliberately sent in the wrong X-rays, faxed them to the wrong number, and this went on for close to 2 months. I called Dr Yang, my Periodontist from All County Endodontics, for assistance. He performed the root canal that led to a crown lengthening, which is a standard procedure before a crown is placed on your tooth. I called him, since my claims with Dr Lindenfeld kept getting denied. He had his billing coordinator, Lisa contact Dr Lindenfeld to assist him with getting the pre-estimate approved since she was very familiar with this process to

Dr. Lindenfield and the hygenist provides a very detailed cleaning everytime I visit. One of the visit I had to set up 2 appointments because my teeth was so dirty.

Dr Lindenfeld is meticulous, caring and experienced. I have been his patient for many many years for tooth extractions and implants. In addition to his superb work, he is full of energy and good spirits. Simply put, when I visit his office, I know I am in good hands.

For almost two decades I have been a patient of Dr. Lindenfeld. He is an outstanding specialist who has always taken excellent care of my dental needs. I recommend him highly as a superb dentist who always treats patients respectfully by answering any and all questions clearly. The staff in his office is courteous and friendly, which makes visits more pleasant.

I have been receiving my periodontal care from Dr. Lindenfeld for over two years and have been very impressed. He tends to be a therapeutic conservative (tends to avoid procedures that are of borderline utility) and has helped me avoid costly "root canal" surgeries with one session of gum surgery and regular scaling and cleaning sessions. He is professional yet personable and extremely efficient. The office runs efficiently as well including scheduling (reminders, appointment changes), billing (insurance and deductibles), and patient throughput (short waiting times). My appointment times mean something.

I received excellent care from Dr. Lindenfeld and his team. I needed an implant and the procedure was almost painless. They were professional and they made sure to follow up after my procedure. This reassured me and let me know that the dentist valued my patronage. The office staff is also courteous to the patients. I highly recommend this dental service.
