I had an emergency, and the staff at Academy Dental Care were more than accomodating in squeezing me in. Dr. Shuster made the process pain-free, explained what she was doing, and answered any questions I had along the way. I intend to use their services even after this emergency!

Dr. Shuster and her staff are great. She is very detailed and truly the best dentist I have been to. Her staff is also very friendly, caring, and professional. Having Saturday hours helps me have procedures done without worrying about taking off of work. I would not trust anyone do the same quality of work that Dr. Shuster is capable of handling.

The office staff was warm and professional. Everyone was exceedingly kind to me, as well as my children who came in for their first visit. Dr. Shuster was warm and helpful. She was conservative and knowledgeable in her recommendations for dental work and gave me the information I needed to move forward with confidence. I am very happy with this practice.

I was very impressed with the staff, Maggie, and Dr. Shuster. They made me feel right at home and didn't critique me on not taking better care of my teeth like some other dental offices. My experience with Maggie was the best cleaning I had ever had / hands down. Instead, they took the time to explain how I can improve my oral health and what preventative measures I need to take.

I felt like I bonded with Dr. Shuster and I can talk to her for days like I would with my close girlfriends. I cannot wait to bring the rest of family to this practice! Thank you!

Dr. Shuster is on maternity leave (she is fantastic) but the person covering for her was also fantastic. I've had a crown that is affecting my bite and she took all the time I needed to listen and try to remedy the problem. The hygienists are always gentle, thorough and pleasant.

Have been a patient here for several years. This is the best place ever. The staff is knowledgeable, efficient, professional and friendly. Dr. Ella Shuster does amazing work and isn't satisfied unless the patient is happy. She explains everything she is going to do and makes sure the patient understands and is comfortable. She is the best and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a new dentist.

It was my first trip to the dentist in several years and I was very apprehensive about the state of my teeth. The moment I walked into Academy Dental Care I felt at ease. The team was super helpful and attentive and walked me through the process and answered all of my questions. I feel very optimistic about the future of my dental health and look for forward to working with them in the future. Would definitely recommend.

After years of not going to the dentist I decided it was time to take better care of my teeth. After reading so many great reviews I decided to go to Academy dental and I do not regret it. To echo the other reviews Dr. Shuster is amazing. She is by far the best dentist I've ever been to. I hate dentist visits and get anxiety but she made me feel comfortable. Dr. Shuster and the staff at the office are very nice and helpful.

The hygienist that did my cleaning was very gentle. Dr. Shuster truly cares about her patients. When I initially came in and I didn't even want to proceed with the cleaning, a month later all my cavities are filled and I have a teeth cleaning scheduled. I've been to many other dentists but Dr. Shuster is truly exceptional! If I could I would give her 10 stars!

I had such an amazing experience today at this office. Olga was very well educated and really helped me understand in depth the effect of tartar on the gums. I felt very relaxed and not rushed and was able to answer all my questions. The doctor was very professional and helpful as well. Great first impression!

I've always been afraid of going to the dentist and I waited until I couldn't take the pain
any longer to find a new dentist. I looked in the yellow pages and found Dr. Shuster who saw me the same day. I told him about my anxiety and he worked with me to get through the root canal and out of pain as fast and as gentle as possible. I haven't had a problem with that tooth and its been 3 years.

I was so impressed with his professional behavior and knowledge that I have been going back ever since. I tried several dentists before Dr. Shuster and have never been so happy with my dentist. His staff is friendly, the receptionist is welcoming and I have never waited longer than 5 minutes to be seated (which is big for me). I also never heard of the confirmation/cancellation policy the other review talked about.

I receive confirmation calls for every visit and go to the appointments which are NOT automatically cancelled. I would recommend Dr. Shuster to anyone, he's a great dentist.
