Robert J Wolin, DDS

This review is simply for the attitude of the receptionist. When I tried to sign up as a client of Dr. Wolin’s my insurance company notated that this office accepted faxed eligibility forms. When I called to confirm my form was there and schedule an appointment the receptionist was completely rude and inappropriate to me. She told me that they do not accept eligibility forms and the insurance company was wrong and treated me like I was a burden, not a customer, when I further asked if they would take a fax if I called my insurance company back to re-​fax the form, she told me know again in a rude manner. I asked to speak with Dr. Wolin and she was rude yet again, saying something like «he’s busy.» I told her I’d be switching my dentist yet again and would post this experience on Unilocal.Hopefully Dr. Wolin reads this and takes care of one of his employees attitudes.

I just went to Dr. Wolin for the first time the other day for a general cleaning and checkup. I will be going back for my 4 fillings too.
Only one patient is ever in the waiting area at one time so the wait is not long with no over-​bookings. The staff is friendly and helpful on the phone and in person. This office is pretty flexible in every way possible (including payment).
Reasonable prices most importantly. (Avoid Cityview Dental Arts on Armitage $$$$$). Dr. did not try to push me into cosmetic options or try to scare me into getting 6 fillings or I would have super expensive surgeries in the future. Proactive but practical treaments.
Dr. Wolin is hard of hearing but he understood me perfectly.

I agree with the last reviewer. I’ve gone to Dr. Wolin twice a year for the past 3 years for cleanings only as I haven’t had any other issues. He and the staff are super nice. I’ve never had to wait more than 2 minutes and Dr. Wolin is definitely entertaining in a goofy way.
Dr. Wolin is definitely old school (no high tech gagdets) but I think he gives a thorough examination. I too cannot speak for any more complex procedures.

I can’t vouch for more complex dental procedures. Judging from the other reviews, I guess Dr. Wolin isn’t very good for that. But I’m a guy who has very simple dental needs. I need to get my teeth cleaned twice a year, and that’s it. I need someone to look at them and tell me if there are any trouble spots I should focus on. I’ve always had great dental health (thanks, Dad, for being so hardcore).
So, if you just need a nearby friendly place to go, this is the place. The staff are nice and Dr Wolin is a goofy old man who’s a riot to see twice a year. But I can’t attest to how good they are with dental needs beyond the manditory routine cleanings… I just wanted to throw out my own positive experiences.

Let me start out by saying this is one of the nicest dentists. With that said I must tell you of the problems that my partner and I have had. I had to get 9 (yes, nine!) fillings last year, at least 3 have fallen out already. My girlfriend got 4(I think, not nearly as many me) fillings herself and she’s had 1 fall out since. He’s not so great with gloves or the drill. He was consistently late but always super friendly and his staff is nice too. Had he and his staff not been so friendly & courteous I would’ve given him only 1 star.
I really wish he’d done a better job.

It’s worth noting that, though Dr Wolin is a fine dentist, he is also nearly deaf. If you require any sort of elaborate description, you’ll have to explain it through his assistant (who is great) — for me, it was explaining Peace Corps needs. Overall, this changed a pleasant Dentist’s trip into a hastle and a half.
Again, staff is great. Dr Wolin is not bad. But communication is next to impossible. Place is clean, bright, etc. Man is deaf.
