I did not have a good experience here. He tried to pressure me into something that wasn't right for me.

I never have to wait. The staff is always kind and courteous. The hygienist is amazingly thorough with up to date technology. Michael, the dentist, is super-competent and has a sense of humor!

I've been coming here for over two decades, and have always gotten great service and great dental care. Over the years I've made several recommendations to friends who are still patients here. The office is clean, modern, and the staff is very friendly and professional. I've had many procedures done that were badly needed years ago, and my teeth and gums are healthier than ever - thank you! Dr Adler and staff performed an ortho miracle and straightened a bothersome overbite I lived with for nearly 50 years - Now that was life changing!

Dr. Adler has been such a breath of fresh air after having a terrible dental experience prior coming to Adler Dentistry. My dad and myself come here and absolutely love it. I would recommend this office to anyone. The staff is warm and welcoming and Dr. Adler himself always just makes me feel so comfortable and taken care of. This place is the definition of being in safe hands.

Sitting in the dentist chair can be difficult for me. I have terrible anxiety. Dr. Adler has a lot of assistance/options for anxious people like me. The staff is also extraordinarily thoughtful and helpful. I had some major work done yesterday and today I feel so grateful. I have been going to Adler for years now. Thank goodness I found Adler Advanced Dentistry! My mouth is so happy! Trust

All of the staff at Dr. Adler's office are amazing. I am pretty terrified of the dentist, and they never make me feel bad about it and are very accommodating. Dr. Adler is very skilled and they have all new technology and equipment.

I just had my first appointment with Dr Adler, and I am delighted! I have been seeing various dentists in Boulder for over 30 years, and I have had a string of pretty mediocre experiences, so I decided to switch to Adler on the recommendation of my friends and family. And I'm glad I did. Everything, from the very first phone contact, to every aspect of my visit (thorough exam, and very thorough teeth cleaning) exceed my expectations!

Gentle & fast! I've had cleanings other places that hurt my gums and jaw pain after having cavities done other places. My cleanings were gentle. I had two mercury fillings removed and three cavities filled in probably less than an hour! Fast and done right. The team at Dr. Adler's is amazing!

I am a relatively new patient to Dr. Adler's office but right from the start you get a very warm and compassionate feeling from all the staff. Carly at the front desk is amazing and very efficient. Dr Adler really works hard to make your smile the best he can and you can see he is truly committed to his profession. I believe he is a perfectionist and will go to any lengths to give you a perfect smile.

On my recent visit his assistant, Sarah, was extremely kind and comforting as the dentist chair is not my favorite place to be. She explained the whole procedure to me in a professional, yet caring manner. I would highly recommend Dr Adler and his staff!

I always enter the dentist's office a little apprehensive thanks to the dentists I saw before Dr. Adler. And every experience I've had with Dr. Adler has been painless. Literally, and figuratively. The care is top notch, the people friendly and I always leave feeling relaxed. Best dental practice that I've experienced in my life, hands down.

Amazing and so advanced it's a whole new take away when you actually experience dentistry done like this. Why can't every dentist practice this way. Truly a compassionate professional in his industry!

I can't say enough good things about Adler Dentistry. Having some major BAD experiences with my last couple dentists, I had a lot of anxiety heading in to this much needed appointment. To my surprise they remembered me from simply booking my appointment, and had many options to help me feel comfortable and informed (as much or as little as you need/want) about what was going on.

The technology was fantastic and the entire staff was welcoming and super nice - I felt like I had been a patient there for years! I can confidently say that this is the kind of office that I would travel to should I ever move from Boulder. Top notch service! Thank you!

This office is wonderful! They scheduled my appointments quickly and also sent reminder emails and text messages. Dr. Adler took this time to explain both the dental processes and the great tech they have. They use a cavity detector laser! I returned a week after my initial visit for a cleaning and had another great experience! The hygienist was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

After my cleaning they handed me a lavender infused warm towel for my face and hands, sent me off with product samples, and rescheduled my 6 month visit. This whole visit took a little under an hour, they have a very efficient team at Adler Advanced Dentistry!

I was a bit skeptical about the neuromuscular dentistry treatment for my TMJ, but it does work. It's non invasive (a huge plus) and while you can't see results immediately, it is worth it to be patient and go regularly. Dr. Adler, Carly and Heather are very warm and understanding, even when I'm the cranky patient. It's an expensive treatment modality, but it works. Highly recommend.

Excellent visit today. I was greeted warmly with a friendly staff and spotless environment. Talia cleaned my teeth efficiently and basically painlessly (given the state my teeth were in :)) and was very professional. Highly recommend for an easy dental experience!

I have known Dr. Adler since 1999 when I first moved back into Colorado after being abroad in Japan for 7 years. After not having seen a dentist in Japan, I needed some periodontal work and it was great to have. healthy gums back after that. He and his staff have always been courteous, knowledgable and professional. He pulled my wisdom teeth when I was 31 years old and I was really scared but Dr. Adler quelled my fears and did it quickly and painlessly. Dr. Adler is the best in his field for cosmetic dentistry and I value his skill and his word.

The staff is amazing. They are funny, professional and always, always provide the answers and help I need. After I have my teeth cleaned, they are white and smooth because Thalia et al do the best they can. I've never had someone work on my teeth with such regard for perfection! Kudos!

I've been a patient of Dr. Adler for something like 24 years now, and have almost always gotten good service from him and the rest of his staff. The office is comfortable, and they're always using the latest technology to maintain my mouth's health. The only negative things to say are that the office is far away now that I live in Denver, nobody really loves going to the dentist, and the fees are always higher than the "standard" prices my insurance will pay for.

Dr. Adler. Is a terrific dentist. His expertise and sensitiviity to his patients' needs are exceptional. Dr. Adler's work and his team are superb. I have never been to a more careful and caring dentist than Dr. Adler. I strategically plan my trips to Colorado to coincide with my biannual checkups. I fly in from California just to have Dr. Adler and his hygienist work on my teeth. I will continue to travel to see him and his team. My teeth look and feel great!

Dr. Adler did a full mouth restoration for me, which eliminated all my cracking metal fillings and crowns, 'straightened' all my teeth without orthodontics, and generally gave me a beautiful smile, which I'd never experienced in my life. The staff is caring and the office highly professional yet comfortable.

When I originally went to this dentist, I specifically asked the front office to verify my coverage and let me know what my copays and my part of the billing would be so that I could pay them since my job with my dental insurance would be ending soon. They gave me the information so I paid what they asked me to pay. MORE THAN A YEAR LATER, right after I asked to be taken off of their reminder list since I wouldn't be going back to them, they suddenly decided that I owed them money!

I hadn't been to see them in over a year, and I never received any bill until I asked to be taken off of their reminder email list. Since then, I have been going back and forth with them, asking them for my records, and for my bills to see if they are even valid. I have continually been ignored, threatened and lied to. This is the sleaziest, most unprofessional, expensive dental office in town.

This was the Greatest dentist experience I've ever had. No wait, very professional, kind, and gentle. Doctor kept close tabs on how I felt during treatment. Hygienist was equally considerate and professional. I have brought my son here as well for braces and he had a great experience as well. I would recommend Dr Adler and team to everyone. Finally a good dentist.

It felt like the mission of this practice is to squeeze the most money possible out of patients as long as they have them in their chair. The Dentist outfitted my daughter with an expander that was not needed according to two other specialists (a Dentist and an Orthodontist). My son's teeth had previously been checked by two Orthodontists who concluded he needed no intervention at all.

He was visiting this practice for routine dental care and they told us he needed an expander as well. This is when we left the practice. If you have better things to do with your money and your time, avoid this practice.

Used to be nice a few years ago. Had a great Hygienist that was really good at teeth cleaning and had a great staff that was competent. He fired them all to get a whole new staff of cheaply paid young girls that don't know their rear from their elbow. Terrible cleaning, overpriced work and they have consistently ignored my complaint about something for a year now.

They never return calls and they offer a scam teeth whitening for new patients that they refuse to give you or just forget about when you ask. He seems to have a great time suggesting work you don't need, but simple stuff is ignored or they try to turn it into something more. New staff is incompetent and their services are overpriced. Go outside of Boulder if you want a decent dentist.

Just a talentless money-grubber who pretends to do clinical work while giving you a hard, incessant sell for (way) overpriced cosmetic work you probably don't need.

This was the best experience I have had with a dentist. I had a tooth that was cracked and I waited a little longer than I should have to get it fixed. I called first thing in the morning and Carly told me to come right in (as a new patient I really appreciated that). I got in and Laura his assistant was very very nice. She put me at ease when we discussed the plan of action for this tooth (it had to come out).

When Dr. Adler came in he made me feel at ease he let me know step by step what he was going to do and boom the tooth was out. I would recommend this practice to any of my friends.

This guy and his team are jerks. Unprofessional and demeaning, it seems like every recommendation they make is solely for the purpose of paying off equipment they've purchased. When you decline the "up sell, " he makes snide comments about you forfeiting your dental health. Hey, dude, I don't have an extra $3000 to get each tooth undergo root planing and scaling just because you think it would be a "good idea." You know what's worse?

His recommendations were not made in good faith: I went to a few other dentists to get a professional opinion. I saved a lot of dough taking this extra step. I overheard him get in a fight with the oral surgeon; she was NOT recommending this scaling/planing service, saying she thought the patient was fine. Adler just bought this machine, so I guess that takes precedence.

I had some photos taken to assess my smile and the younger assistants were actually laughing at the photos and mocking me. Ladies, the office isn't that big and it's quiet in there; people can hear everything. Honestly, I'd recommend Perfect Teeth over these guys.and that isn't saying much.

What a wonderful place to work. Also just got my first onlay done at the office, and I feel great. It was great to have it all done in about an hour because as a recently new mom, time is precious. The team took great care of me just like I was one of their own. :.

About 8 years ago, on my back molars, I had 5 Crowns put in by Adler. Do not EVER get the "Crowns in a day" kind that I was talked into because they just don't hold up over time. All the crowns need to be replaced because the edges, where the Crown meets the gum line, have all deteriorated. So if I smile, you can see where the Crown ends and my old tooth begins, as there is a gap and the old tooth area is very dark looks just terrible.

I went to another dentist, and after looking at my 5 Crowns that need to be replaced, he said, "I see you've had work done by Adler". Just unbelievable, I was shocked that he could tell. My new dentist told me the edges on the "Crown in a day type" are just too soft and just don't last. I have a Crown that was done by a different dentist about 16 years ago and it still looks so good you can't even tell it's a Crown.

So I know what good work looks like. If you need a Crown, get the old fashion kind where you first get a temporary Crown, and then your permanent Crown at a later date, and make sure YOU approve of the color first. I now have to spend thousands to have replacement Crowns done because I have become very self-conscious about my teeth. I wish I had never had any work done by Alder.

Dr Adler is top of the mark - plus the office is filled with nice, genuine people who care about my health

I've been using this dentist for about 3 years. After my last visit I decided to leave. While giving me a shot he shocked me twice inside of my mouth. Not acceptable! He's hurried and works on other people while you wait and was very unprofessional with the dental assistant while working over me. I no longer use this dentist.

If you are looking for a nice dentist, with a beautiful office, that does nice cleanings - perhaps this is the one for you. However, for cosmetic dentistry? Not sure you are at the right place. I don't like to leave bad reviews but we're out a significant amount of money and that was the least of our problems. The work done was actually detrimental causing many thousands of dollars to repair - with some of the damage to the teeth irreparable.

I don't want to disparage a business, but the followup dentists we saw afterward were shocked with what occurred. That's all I can say here - just do your homework.

If you're looking for a practice that will mislead you into paying thousands more than you should, and scare you into thinking you have more dental problems than true, look no further! Dr Adler is a fraud and has no issues taking your money for false issues. He was naive enough to hand me a written review of my dental work with the cost, which I knew was crap and took to a few other dentists for a 2nd opinion.

Both agreed his write up was unnecessary and not at all what was needed, and that his proposed costs were exorbitant. Honestly, steer clear of this guy - he's a total fraudster as confirmed by other dentists on the Colorado state board, and one of his former staffers.
