Samuel Rudick, DDS

Dr Rudick was extremely friendly. He answered all my questions with great patience and offered me all the information for future dental plans.
The office is very clean and the assistant I had was also very efficient with the cleaning.
The only drawback was waiting time at the beginning, I had my appointment at 12:30 and was seen by the doc at 1ish.

wow. talk about a horror show. I don’t even know where to begin. At first everyone seems friendly and nice. But the lack of competency and overall professionalism of this office is out the snacks. this is the nail salons of dental offices. they want you in to make a quick buck and get you out ASAP. scheduling was always a disaster, they changed my appointment dates and times on me so many times i lost count. They commit insurance fraud, overcharging your insurance company. I am now seeing one of the best dentist on the east coast and HE doesn’t even charge as much as these people. First, I had a root canal. failed. tried again. it is failing again. The hygenist never shuts up and if she spent half as much time talking as she did cleaning your teeth would actually be clean. not that you would know BC a dentist never checks her work. and then when you tell her she missed a spot she says it just discoloration. Lets move on to the periodontist «Dr.» Iman. It’s pretty pathetic that a construction worker knows more about the procedure than the perio himself. I got an implant and suggested doing a bone graft at the same time. he said i didn’t need one. this didn’t sound right to me but i trusted him and went with it. then when the abutment was put in and I had about a ¼ of gum loss i ask him why. he says oh well a bone graft would have needed to be done at implant to prevent this! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! so something that i had suggested was something that was necessary all along. AND my insurance covers it! AND GOD FORBID IF YOU QUESTION HIS AUTHORITY. He will be so rude and rough to you after. he has actually yelled at me for getting scared and worried that perhaps something wasn’t going well. I felt my whole head crunching as he screwed the implant in and it scared me. so he yelled at me and was so f***** rude i couldn’t believe it. I received ABSOLUTELY NO PATIENT TEACHING WHICH IS MALPRACTICE! I left that office every time crying my eyes out from all the damage they have done. so i figure i will just finish this fiasco and be done with this office. they couldn’t get any of my crowns to match because they keep switching labs. and they lie to you and say this lab is so good blah blah blah but some how this great lab cant seem to get anything right, not even a color match EVEN WHEN YOU GO THERE IN PERSON. Dr. Shin says he doesn’t like to rush but that’s all he does, his actions speak differently. He ruined my gums with these bootleg temporaries ($ 3000 gum surgery to fix), broke off a substantial amount of a tooth when removing a crown (hopefully the tooth doesn’t die from this trauma, may result in an implant, another $ 5000 to fix). His hands shake from alcoholism and he has shaven enamel several times off of perfectly healthy teeth that weren’t getting any work done. So after all this i have finally left. only to find out they’ve commited insurance fraud and submitted payment for finished work (which was never completed) to my insurance company. It took me a month and a half to get my medical records back and my refund from them. Also, it is now going to cost me $ 22,000 to fix all their screwups. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE! PLEASE IF YOU VALUE YOU YOUR TEETH, TIME, AND SANITY! LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE! PAY MORE AND SEE A REAL DENTAL OFFICE!

Had a great quick and easy consultation for my wisdom teeth removal. The staff is great and make you feel very welcome. The dentists are very professional.

Dr. Hoffer is Great. Always takes care of my crowns. Staff is very nice as well. Location is easy to get to and I commute in from the Bronx.

I love this dental office. Not only are they friendly, competent, and thorough; they also make every effort to assuage my anxiety over having to go to the dentist. Dr. Shin, my dentist, is very good and has a great chair side manner. I highly recommend Dr. Ruddick’s office for everyone.

Awesome experience for a fast and efficient x-​Ray exam and teeth cleaning. Went here because the office took my insurance. All the staff was extremely friendly and completely professional. Highly recommend!

Totally shocked by the bad reviews. This practice was nothing but awesome.
I had a 3:45 appointment and I went in at 2pm to see if I could get in early. They were able to fit me in at about 2:30 and the front desk staff was great! Very friendly and accommodating. My hygienist was great. Super gentle and quick. I went to a different room for my X-​rays and check up with Dr. Hoffer. I was worried they would tell me that I needed to fix all of my cavities and have even more work done but that wasn’t the case. Dr. Hoffer took the time to explain to me exactly what was going on with my teeth. Very informative and patient.
I have had trouble finding a good dentist in the city and I am so happy to have found this place! Highly recommended :)

This was hands down one of the best dental experiences I have ever had. Firstly, the receptionist (Tika?) was professional, friendly, and accommodating (in terms of making sure I was comfortable at all times, especially during the root canal procedure). The staff (especially Don?) was amazing. I thought I was going to be judged or looked down upon because I know I needed work done. They told me «We don’t judge here, we just want to do what you want to get done.» (Of course, with their recommendations). The finance and pregnant women were amazing. The chemistry and professionalism, I can’t speak highly enough of them. Thank you so much for making me feel welcome. I’ll be back and have already recommended you guys to some friends. :)

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. Worst dentist or doctor’s office I’ve been to. I went because it was near my work and I needed a simple cleaning. I arrived a few minutes early for my appointment and was not taken until 15min after my appointment was scheduled. Then they left me sitting in the chair by myself for over 30 minutes and the only explanation I received was that an emergency patient came in that they had to deal with but that they would be with me soon. I just walked out after 45 minutes and no one said anything to me as I left. I received a call 3 weeks later to ask if I wanted to come back. What a joke.

With all my heart and soul I can confidently say. «You will be sorry if you go here»
So many bad things I don’t know where to start.
If there were MINUS stars I would take the few that this MONSTER has.
Time and time they have people complaining and staff brushing them off.
Staff is not at fault. He under-​pays his workers
Dental work

HORRID
I don’t know who is worse him or his daughter.
Both butchers. Mess up constantly and always have a good doctor on staff to clean up after there mistake.
He charges insurance then charges you. I’ve heard him tell staff. You billed insurance bill them now. Every dollar he can get from you. Sucks you in with free cleanings then bills you till the cows come home.
Terrible Person and Dr. I don’t know how he is still in business.

I had a great experience with this office. I actually visited them the Sunday after Halloween weekend after chipping my tooth at a party, since they were the only office that was open on Sunday.
The receptionist was very friendly and I waited a bit since there were several people in front of me but once I got in, their team did a great job. Damone was my dental assistant and Dr. Hoffer was my dentist and they were both very friendly and honest. Damone took an xray and Dr. Hoffer smoothed out the chipped tooth and I’m pretty much good as new. It ended up costing me a fraction of what I thought I’d be paying and they could have upsold me into getting a bonding, but I found them to be very honest people who were up front and I’m happy I got the chip smoothed out by them. Would definitely recommend them.

Usually I do not like bashing businesses or people but this is necessary.
Please be cautious when coming here, I went to this location just because of the location. Big regret. I have to say, everything the other reviewers have said is 100% true.
They inform me that the doctors are in network of my insurance, yet I have paid over $ 1000 in basic fillings after being told insurance has been properly processed.
Oh and apparently I have tons of cavities all of a sudden… my last dentist never dealt with so much said cavities so I was terrified and followed through.
Then I have gum disease, first time ever for me so again, I was worried and listened to them. $ 985 dollars.
Then, I need 2 root canals, after the root canals all over a sudden I need $ 2000 worth of extra work due to said root canals.
The x-​rays were done unprofessionally by students it seems and cut my gums up entirely.
I decided enough was enough and went for a second opinion elsewhere, and there ya go — The procedures done on me were not to be so costly or necessary at all.
It’s more like a retail dental office than a professional caring dental office — they are trying to make money. I have never lost trust in the medical profession as I have now. From now on I will question anything that sounds suspicious — this is what I get for trusting people.

I received free teeth whitening certificates from a race I competed in. I called the office to ask what the catch was as I was coming in from Long Island. They claimed there was none so I made an appointment and went in… turns out NEVER DO YOU EVER GET THE FREE WHITENING… they find things wrong to prevent you from getting that service. They told me that I needed to get all my fillings re-​done! Some I just got done only months ago! SCAM… oh and the wait was over 2 hours to boot …

wanted to get a second opinion after being told i need to replace all of my fillings. was very hard to get the office to send me xrays and other files from my visit, in the end never got everything. at first i thought this place was okay, but after the fact, i am not so sure and i won’t be going back.

I know there is only one other review, but I have to echo it completely. I went more than 16 months after the other reviewer did and had exactly the same experience. I had broken a tooth in half and was in a ton of pain when I showed up. They got me in quickly, but once they had me in the room told me I had to pay $ 1,000 upfront and would «be reimbursed by your insurance company.» Since I had found the dentist’s office through my insurance company’s website I assumed this would be true. Lo and behold, however, they only have one dentist, the namesake, Samuel Rudick, registered with my insurance company (Guardian), and, as a result, none of my procedures were covered. In addition, my insurance company told me upon review of the bill that they had charged more expensive procedures than were necessary (again like the previous reviewer).
Finally, when I switched dentists, my new dentist told me that the crown that they had installed had a large cap between teeth and should have «been sent back instead of being put in your mouth.» It can be monitored he said, but there is a risk of further teeth problems if I’m not super dilligent and will probably need to replaced in 5 years.
Save your wallet and your teeth. Don’t go here.

This place was a little sketchy. They did not «understand» my insurance plan and attempted to overcharge me by about $ 400 for a procedure. They also recommended a lower quality procedure and basically said «it costs us less». They have one competent office manager and the rest of the front desk people are slow to understand and even slower to act.
Don’t go here. It seems like a decent practice until you get down to it. Sure it’s clean and they seem professional, but when it comes to cash they can’t be trusted.
