Alek Klebaner, DDS

Really great team that cares for the patients. Cleaning by Lena is by far the best I’ve ever had. You will not regrets being a patient here !

Always a pleasure to visit with Judy (hygienist) and Dr. K. I’ve been going here for roughly 10 years. Best DDS on the area.

I love this entire office from the front desk staff to the awesome Dr. Klebaner and his wonderful wife and dental hygienist Yelena. The best care and kindness, clean office, and a lovely new location. I highly recommend them.

Called in as a new patient for a repair to a chipped bonded tooth. They put me in on a Saturday– 3 days! Awesome!! The office is lovely and immaculate! The staff is terrific, and the repair is beyond perfect! I am so Happy!!!

We have a new dental «home.» This busy working mom is doing a *big* happy dance.
My entire family was in need of a new dental practice. The adults were overdue for hygeine and checkups. My kiddo was outgrowing her pediatric dental practice. Where to go?
In years passed I’d cycled through a few «recommended» dental practices where the dentists and hygienists all turned out to lack any bedside manner or much intelligence, frankly. The last practice I found through an online review site (ahem) left me asking myself «Are all dentists dumb?»
Now clearly that’s not a fair statement about dentists, right? But my experience had been telling me that all those aggressive little businesswomen out there flogging dentistry via postcard and various other means couldn’t possibly promise me «good care» in the usual sense. They were good businesswomen (for some reason they were all ladies, not sure why — I’m very pro-​businesswoman!). But they were, frankly, cr*p dentists who were «phoning in» any semblence of patient empathy.
Then, last fall somebody bought the gorgeous old craftsman building around the corner from us. Lots of construction going on! I asked the foreman «Who’s going in there?» «Dental practice,» he says. Ok, I said to myself — let’s check these guys out. I mean really… I’ve had some bad luck before, how bad can it be? At least these guys have great taste in architecture.
Unilocal reviews were positive, so that was encouraging (but I’d been steared wrong before). I emailed the dentist — Alek Klebaner, thinking «No way is this man going to answer me.» But he did — right away, in a friendly, gracious, articulate manner. (Wow, I’m thinking, great start).
Can you possibly help me get my daughter a hygiene appointment soon? I asked him. Her old practice books months ahead. Other practices were quoting MONTHS to get a cleaning.
Dr. K got right on it — had his staff call, then he worked us BOTH in, mom and daughter for checkups and cleanings within 14 days of my request. Holy cow!
He’s smart, analytical, careful, patient, well spoken and he obviously cares a great deal about offering care that’s high quality *and* high touch. He cleaned my daughter’s teeth himself — to work her in on her Spring break. I saw «Judy» I think (for hygiene) and I adored her — smart, experienced, charming.
Dr. K spent extra time with me to discuss my daughter’s orthodontic plan, then jumped on the phone to consult with the orthodontist so «We’re all on the same page.»
We love Dr. Klebaner and his staff. My daughter is especially happy with him. He has a little girl about her age, so he understands where kids are coming from.
Highly recommended. Do not pass go. See Alek Klebaner if you need quality dentistry. They’re at 501 Walnut Street now, by the way. In a lovely older Craftsman building that — kind of like a Tardis — hides its sizeable inner workings behind a charming façade.

Dr. Klebaner is the BEST DENTIST EVER! He is so kind, gentle, honest and has a fantastic personality! He almost makes you want to get a cavity — just so you can see him! :-)
My go-​to dental hygienist is Judy. She is AMAZING! She’s the only one I will see. I’m sure the others are great too — but I adore Judy. I look forward to seeing her every 6 months — as it’s always a pleasure to «catch up»! Nicest person EVER!
Side Note: It was virtually impossible to get my husband to go to the dentist (for 18 years), but after seeing Dr. Klebaner and Judy — he actually looks forward to going! And trust me… that’s no small feat!
And of course I cannot forget to mention his staff… they are all FANTASTIC! They are all so knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and competent! Every patient should be so lucky!
I very rarely give reviews (as I’m a very picky person — and I know it)… but I felt compelled to share with the world what a wonderful office this is. They are all ROCK STARS… and would highly recommend to anyone (and do!). I would give it more than 5 stars if I could! Trust me, you WON’T be disappointed. :-)
Note to Dr. Klebaner and Staff: You are all AMAZING — and you already know that I adore all of you! Thank you for existing, and making the world a better place, with brighter smiles! :-)

My dentist of 15 years retired. The dentist that bought his business always seemed to be in a hurry and trying to sell me services I didn’t want. A friend recommended Alek Klebaner. He was very patient and explained why my gums were inflamed and how to take care of them so it wouldn’t happen again. His office is very clean and everyone working there is upbeat. The dental hygienist did a thorough job of cleaning my teeth. Best cleaning I’ve had in years.

His office is extremely well ran, and someone that really cares about his patients. He remembers every bit of detail about who you are as a person, and extremely caring to get the right job done.
They will never force you to get x-​rays done, or push anything that you don’t need. He is truly a professional, and his practice runs as a «small little family» run business and you feel it the moment you walk in the door.

My dad who is 90 years old is afraid of dental work but he finally agreed to see Dr. Klebaner after things got bad. Dr. Klebaner’s receptionists were friendly and very helpful to get him in right away. I explained that my dad doesn’t have dental insurance and that was no problem. After four invites, my dad’s smile is much improved and he can eat things he couldn’t before. Dr. Klebaner is very generous with his time, super friendly, very professional and I’m so grateful for his work. The overall cost was very reasonable and unlike my own dentist, he didn’t nickel and dime us on every little thing. He even gave us a senior discount! Woohoo!

A very caring, professional office with excellent staff. Dr. Klebaner and staff go above and beyond the call of duty. He fixed my daughters emergency a few hours before he needed to be at the airport leaving for his vacation!

Everyone in the office is kind and thoughtful, and they remember you. They have all the latest digital x-​ray equipment, so Dr. K can immediately show your xrays to you on the monitor and point things out. He takes his time and explains things. I’ve had my teeth cleaned 2 or 3 times by Yelena now, and she is a jewel.

I’ve been going to Dr. Klebaner for 5 – 6 years, so I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write a review. He is awesome — conscientious, considerate, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and very careful & detailed in his work. I was referred by my brother, and through all kinds of insurance situations I have never wanted to go elsewhere. Covered or not, I will continue to go to Klebaner’s office.
I’ve had all kinds of dental work done since I was a kid — palate expansion, braces, teeth pulled, etc. So, I have no real fear of the dentist, and thus I don’t need my dentist to make his/​her office look & feel like a spa or resort. I prefer the practical, no-​nonsense dentist, one who will focus on my teeth. Dr. Klebaner’s office is clean and comfortable, but not over the top — they focus on what they do best, not window-​dressing.
Over the years I’ve had a number of hygienists (some better than others), but my current one is by far the best — Jelena (Dr. Klebaner’s wife). She is detailed, considerate, and very kind, I enjoy my visits with her.
Highly recommended!

I really appreciate having Dr Klebaner for a dentist.
He’s very smart and always remembers whatever I told him about my life the last time I was in 6 months before. That never fails to impress.
Further, his skills with a needle are quite good (I have had few cavities in my life so I was a little worried about it, but I barely noticed when he used it) and his «chairside» manner is excellent.
He treats my entire family and we’re all equally impressed.
