This was a very seamless process. Online intake form made that easier. Also clearly very thorough and knowledgeable all the way from front desk to full exam. Thanks to you all and looking forward to my next visit.

Just had my first visit at this practice. It’s been a whole pandemic, and then some, since I’ve been to the dentist and I was more than a little anxious. Every single person at this practice was fantastic. Knowledgeable, friendly, professional. They took the time to thoroughly explain everything and constantly checked in on my comfort level. I’m actually looking forward to going back. Very highly recommend.

Great experieance, wlaked me through my treatment plan and what I should expect

Dr. Tokowitz and his staff did a wonderful job serving me and getting me into the office. They made me feel calm, relaxed and they did a wonderful job on my teeth! Highly recommend!

Doctor Eliot and his staff are very attentive and they took care of me all the time, he explains everything very clearly plus he gave me multiple options to decide the best treatment for my case. I would totally recommend it.

The entire staff was super professional and friendly! I was seen right at my appointment time and was out within 30 minutes. I would recommend Sheffield Square to any of my friends or coworkers.

He was so personable and gave perfect advice for my long term gum health.

Everyone was very nice. The office was clean and modern. Very easy appointment scheduling and payment.

The best dentist experience I can remember. Very professional, top notch equipment, friendly and comprehensive. They truly care about the patient experience and explain everything in great detail, providing suggestions and alternatives. I have had a pain issue for years that no previous dentist could resolve. Upon explaining the situation, Sheffield Square Dental took additional measures to diagnose and treat the issue on the spot. Highly recommend anyone looking for an all around fantastic dental experience.

My appointment was a breeze! The office is really convenient to get to, and everyone I met with was friendly and professional. The cleaning was painless, and the recommendations for treatment were thorough. Very happy to have found this office.

Everyone at the office is so nice and welcoming. Dr. Tokowitz made me immediately feel comfortable and was very informant. His office made a point to layout all of my options and were very open with me about what was and wasn’t covered by my insurance.

Completely smooth transition from past dental practice. Everything was made clear throughout the process and I was very satisfied with the cleaning and service. Already made my next appointment!

Overall a great experience! I hadn't been to the doctor in an embarrassingly long time and the staff was all warm and welcoming. My hygienist, Alexis, is also amazing - I hope to get her every time I go back. She was so friendly and informative during the cleaning, she also explained everything as she went along. Overall one of the best cleanings I probably have ever gotten. Dr. Tokowitz was also very knowledgeable and friendly - bork down things for me to understand clearly.

Dr. Tokowitz was great! He was incredibly communicative and explanatory at every step and made sure I understood why things were being done. Everyone in the office was friendly and helpful. All in all, a great experience!

Great experience. Made me feel welcome and comfortable while staying very professional! Found my new dentist!!

The entire office was kind. I went through my appointment in a timely manner. I have scheduled a follow up and would recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist in the area.

Super friendly staff! Had a great experience. Would 100% recommend!

Entire staff was extremely personable, put me at ease.

Excellent experience, polite staff, all around best time you can have at a dentist I guess.

Dr. Tokowitz is super kind and very open to questions. I also appreciated him being honest with me about what treatments I do and don't need at the time. Overall a very positive experience with Dr. Tokowitz and his entire staff.

Awesome dental office can’t wait to return !!!

Great office staff. Super friendly and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. Spoke to me in basic English so I understood everything.

Dr. Tokowitz is very thorough with his exam and with education and recommendations.

First time getting back to the dentist in a few years, but had a wonderful experience! Felt super informed on the state of my oral health and anything to look out for or improved. Dr. Tokowitz was helping in explaining any treatment options and very realistic about my care plan.

Dr. Tokowitz and his hygienist were great!

Had a great experience here and felt like the assistants and Dr. Tokowitz did a very thorough job of explaining what they were doing, preventative care tips, and other useful information. One of the best dental visits I’ve had in a long time.

The best dentist I have ever visited. Hands down was the greatest dentist experience I’ve had. They were so quick to go above and beyond and even gave me preventive options and told me what insurance would cover before I agreed. Amazing!

Showed up for appointment, went right into consultation. Friendly and knowledgeable staff that's very accommodating. Set up a plan and future appointments for my requested times and days.

Great, friendly staff and amazing dentist!

Dr. Tokowitz’s team is warm and friendly. I got xrays and had my cleaning done and they were very thorough. My hygienist was a great communicator and she asked questions at the right time so I could answer without having a mouth full of water or dental tools. Upon filling out the paperwork there is a spot to mark if you’d like headphones, a blanket, or a warm neck pillow during the cleaning. The neck pillow was delightful. When Dr. Tokowitz came in he introduced himself, shook my hand and asked me a few questions then the hygienist a few question. What I experienced was rare genuine teamwork/ respect between disciplines that was so refreshing! I would highly recommend this practice.
