I have had the pleasure of being Dr. Sydney Sher patient for over two years and I continue to be extremely satisfied. As a retired physician I am very particular in my personal choices of providers and Dr. Sher is for me a shining star. She provides me with top notch, state of the art dental care, imparted with a very careful, professional style. With her, I feel I am in good hands. I appreciate how she explains to me options for a given procedure with a wonderfully reassuring style and with respect for my financial choices. Dr. Sher is also very kind not only to patients but to her office support staff as well, which makes for a great environment for a patient. Dr. Sher’s strong focus on prevention is something I have also truly appreciated given my particular need to prevent further gum loss, dental decay. Lastly, and very important to me has been that she has always addressed any urgent issues no matter how trivial they may have been. Thank you, Dr. Sher. You are highly appreciated.
If you want a pain free experience with a quintessesental professional, go see Dr. Sydney Sher for your dental needs. I was fortunate enough to be referred to her by a friend. Having experienced too many uncomfortable hours in the chair, I was somewhat skeptical about visiting, yet another dental professional. Dr. Sher is truly exceptional. She treats everyone as though they were her only patient. Her caring staff are treated as equals, as well. I can’t say enough about her willingness to accommodate her patients. I was extremely verbal regarding my dental phobia, and to my surprise, when the novocaine wore off, I was fine. If you don’t have time or excess money to waste, then go see Dr. Sher. She tells it like it is, and she’s a master at her craft. My teeth have never looked better, and I can’t believe that I’m saying this, but I am actually looking forward to seeing Dr. Sher for my follow up appointment next week.

We are all timid about visiting the dentist office, but with Dr Sher, I look forward to visit the dentist as I know I will be treated correctly and best of all, no pain at all.
