First of all, I very much dislike going to the dentist, as much as anyone I guess. My teeth took a hit during the pandemic and being in EMS just made it easy for me to neglect myself while taking care of others. I have had such horrid experiences throughout my life. I found this AMAZING place in Doylestown. Of course for an Emergency root canal. Anxious and of course in pain 2000/10 pain scale. Dr. Patel took care of me in such a professional manner that I didnt mind driving an hour for dental service.

She put my mind at ease and performed my procedure with such diligence and edicate that I opted in for further service by her by getting on there dental plan that affords a pretty decent discount for services across the board. Everyone here is an absolutely beautiful soul and beyond knowledgeable in their duties. I am on emerency number two and just had to write a review.

I have absolutely fallen in love with these people and wouldn't want another place to do anything for me. Cant wait to get the game plan for total restoration, as I will enjoy my path back to the smile that use to make me, me. Thank you to all who have embarked on this challenge that is my life. Oh yeah, and if you are lucky enough to meet Dr. Bash, you will know why once you go BASH every place else is TRASH, sorry just had 3 teeth extracted and a bone graph. THANKS DR. PATEL, you are one amazing Doctor.

My nightmare with this lunatic keeps being pulled! February 5th, 2016 *Came to Dr. Bash for tooth pain in right upper molar (tooth #2). *He looked at the tooth and tapped on it. He said " you need a root canal on this tooth, but I think we should pull it and get you dentures as we have discussed." *I told him, " please stop talking about me getting dentures! " I said, if possible, I want to save a good tooth" He continued to talk about dentures which was upsetting to me.

I then told him I had contacted Simply Beautiful Smiles and was seeing Dr. Bunin in Langhorne on February 9th ( he is a prosthodontist for Simply Beautiful Smiles). *He then said, "Oh! I don't know about that guy! He has worked at 8 different offices." I told him he is a prosthodontist who specializes in restorative dentistry. I also reiterated that he stop talking about " getting me in dentures". * there was an older gentleman on the other side of partition whose daughter or care taker brought in. * Dr. Bash walked around the partition to talk to this patient he was treating simultaneously.

I heard Dr. Bash say to this patient " this tooth needs a root canal, but I think we should pull it and let me make you denture or implant". *Dr. Bash came back to me and began injecting anesthesia. The injections were given very forcefully and quickly ( I had NEVER experienced injections like this.). all my other numerous dentists had always injected my mouth extremely slow and usually waited a minute or two before injecting again.

As he continued these rapid and forceful injections I felt extreme fear and pain. I could not understand why he was being so rough as I had never ever experienced this with any dentist before. He continued with procedure and stopped to inject me with a few more extremely rough fast injections. I felt a horrible electrical shock- like feeling during this round of injections along with stabbing and intense pain and started crying.

He said, Toni, if you don't knock it off, we are gonna have to stop!". I managed to calm myself as he proceeded. All of a sudden, I felt a horrific fire like sensation throughout my the right side of my face, ear and jaw. I began screaming loudly. Dr. Bash immediately walked around to the other side of petition. I was left alone screaming in pain. NO ONE CAME TO MY AID!

I sat screaming for close to 5 minutes and no one helped me, touched me or told me what was happening! Dr. Bash's pet dog was jumping on my stomach. This dog smelled very bad and I managed to scream " please get the dog off me". Eventually, the dental assistant removed the dog from my lap without a word to me. Dr. Bash was nowhere in site. No one offered me assistance or any aid as I sat screaming.

I saw Dr. Bash come from around the partition where he was also treating the older man who came in at the same time I did. After a minimum of 5 minutes since the burning pain began, Dr. Bash came to me and removed the rubber dam, looked at my mouth and said " you have to get to the ER!" I was still screaming and crying, again, no one offered any help or told me what was happening.

I texted a friend ( Fred Saldutti) who picked me up and drove me to Doylestown Hospital ER. * I was screaming and in a fetal position upon arrival to ER.the pain was beyond anything I had ever experienced. I was immediately put on IV decadron, dilaudid and antibiotics. * After 3 injections of dilaudid, I was able to be taken to receive a CT scan. * I was admitted to ICU on February 5th at approximately 8PM. FEB, 7th 2016 Released from Hospital ( given pain meds, oral prednisone and antibiotics) FEB, 8TH, 2016 - hole in upper pallet opened where numerous injections were administered.

Hole is big and frightening! FEBRUARY 9,2016 * Dr. Bash called me and Fred several times a day since February 5th. He also left 2 voice mails on my phone saying " he was concerned about the fact I had Ehler's Danlos"! I have never had genetic and conclusive testing, but was told by a dermatologist that I presented with EDS, based on the Beighton Scale.

I always make sure that it is always in my dental medical intake, as this always calls FOR GENTLE INSTRUMENTATION! Dr. Bash, obviously did not read my medical intake, as his injections were ROUGH, VIGOROUS, EXTREMELY FAST.

Absolutely wonderful. Dr. Patel and Sophan were truly great. I went from the worst tooth pain I've ever had and unable to sleep to no pain at all right away. They did a great job, I felt at ease the entire time, and I wish I came here first for my previous tooth work. Thank you so much!

Had a great experience with Dr. Bash and his assistant Sophan, I called them on Easter Sunday afternoon and was not expecting anyone to Be open and I am so glad I found them and they were both very helpful in answering questions and getting me taken care of. ( I had extreme pain from a infected root Canal and I needed to get the tooth out and GONE) the little Pup that comes to comfort you in your Lap was the icing on the cake and did a great job as a therapy dog!

To help ease the pain. I am 6-8 hours of post opp and in NO pain. They did an amazing job and I am grateful that he gave me a great deal and was able to take care of me and even call to check on me. DO NOT hesitate to call and set up appointment, stop living with pain and wasting your time and money with other dentist. Go see Dr. Bash, his wonderful assistant and the adorable therapy pup. :D

Where do i start. Its 8:30 pm on a saturday night. My fiancee starting having severe pain in her mouth. We called a few "emergency dentists" only to be told they weren't open. As she struggled in pain we found Dr Bash in doylestown. I called his office and asked if we could please come in and explained the problem. He said yes come in now. We got here in 30 mins and were greeted by a sweet receptionist who gave us some paperwork to fill out and my fiancee was in the back getting xrays in less than 10 mins.

Now she is in the dentist chair and he is literally doing a root canal for her. Like how amazing is that. This late and he made himself available for her. Theres a special place in heaven for a man like this. Thank you so much for your dedication and compassion for helping people. Would def recommend Dr Bash.

Dr. Bash and his staff treated my Mother with the best of care. She especially appreciated all the attention from the therapy dog - sweet pooch eased Mom's stress during the extraction! Big kudos to all for being there when she needed you most.

The most amazing Dentist and team around. I had an emergency root canal during the thanksgiving weekend and his office was the only one open within 20 miles from where I live. Dr. Bash is extremely friendly and knowledgeable and his team makes you feel so comfortable. Plus he has the most beautiful therapy dog which help me feel so relax. Love this place and fully recommend it.

Wonderful dentist! My first time seeing Dr. Bash was for an emergency wisdom tooth extraction on a Saturday night at 11 pm. He was absolutely wonderful! He even called to check up on me the next day. I highly recommend his practice!

I try really hard to be happy. My private life is very sad, but not many people know it. Today after spending over $6000 the past year of my hard earned money on me teeth I laughed during the procedure. I laughed and got snapped at my the Dr. Patel. Unbelievable! I had to explain why I laughed 3 times. What would she of done if I didn't explain? I was laughing because she was putting the big rubber thing over my face and I thought it was funny.

It's not my favorite thing in the World so I made the best of it. I'm feel very uncomfortable going somewhere that doesn't allow laughter, becaue that's all I have. I'm sure she has a vailed reason, but I a little different. I've been through more than almost anyone and I'm still trying to be happy and will always respect people. Sad. I liked it there too. Hope Dr. Bash feels better! Thanks everyone else there in top notch! Love the front office personnel. The Dr. P.not so much

I Drove over an hour on a Sunday to visit Bash Dental. I also Waited over an hour to see the actual dentist. He wheeled himself over to my chair and It took him 5 minutes to catch his breath after coughing and heavy breathing. He was on an oxygen tank. As we began looking over my x rays and discussing what is bothering me. (My wisdom tooth) The dentist (in his 70's and very ill) proceeded to tell me I have horrible teeth, I eat too much and had too many children, he asked me why I had 5 kids and why I had not been to the dentist in 2 years.

I mean I just had a baby. give me a break. He told me I had wasted My money on a root canal I had done two years ago. He asked the assistant where are the photos of my teeth. She told him he was using the camera when she asked for it and he never gave it to her. He lost it, unleashed his wrath on her and started screaming and shouting oh my god oh my god and ripped into her.

I feel terrible for the kind young assistant who was managing as much as she could for several other patients, being the only assistant and a new one at that. I excused myself from the chair and told him, this is not going to work out, gave my sympathy to the assistant and left. As I was waking out the door he exclaimed that (he, the dentist) wanted to leave too.

The most horrific, unprofessional experience. How does this man even have a practice? Where are these 5 star reviews coming from. I his state of physical and mental health he has absolutely no more credibility to practice. He should retire and find out what the heck is bothering him so much to make him treat people like he does.

I did not receive work there but called for emergency care for unbearable pain. They couldn't get me in until 5pm tonight and stated they don't work with insurance and would have to charge me an after hours fee of $250 on top of the initial $175 for the xray. The lady on the phone was nice but at this point I might as well wait until Monday for another dentist during regular hours who does accept insurance. A little disappointing since I read the reviews which were excellent. Surprised nobody mentioned these fees and how they don't accept insurance.

I was given a one week notice that I needed a dental clearance for an upcoming surgery. I panicked and thought to myself how can I find a dentist to see me that soon and clear me. Dr Bash got me in the next day and stayed open late several evenings to get all the work done that I needed. I made the deadline. My mouth looks and feels great and now after 25 years of not seeing a dentist I see Dr. Bash. Regularly for cleanings. DR. BASH IS THE MAN

Went in on a Sunday morning and needed a molar extraction. Called that morning and no problem getting me in. I saw Dr. Sanchez and he was great at getting the tooth out & keeping me calm during the procedure. The assistant was also great forget her name. Theres a CVS in the same lot so got the meds right away. The office also called me back to follow up the next day. Highly recommend.

My husband had a terrible dental emergency. Overnight, his face swelled up with an infected tooth that needed to be pulled. It was the weekend, Sunday, and no one was available to help at our regular dentists. Dr. Bash saved us from an ER visit, and was awesome, realistic, and kind. He had prescriptions for antibiotics ready to go, which we filled at the CVS right by his office. My husband was in and out within an hour. God bless this man! He provides such valuable emergency service.

Dr. Sanchez was very caring and made sure I was comfortable during my whole appointment. I drove an hour each way and would do it all over again if I had another emergency.

Dr Bash and his team including winkles are a wonderful group of people. The atmosphere is one of comfort, honesty and real dentistry. I'm 44 and never did get the good teeth end. I had a false front tooth for many many years and I lost it the day before traveling to PA. I found Dr Bash online Sunday night and called him 600am his time. He picked up and promised me I would have a new tooth Tuesday morning.

Long story short; I landed an hour late and hit heavy traffic getting to him. I arrived at 830 that night and by 1130 we were done and my meetings went off without a toothless presentation! I've developed a plan to make quarterly trips for meetings in order to work with Dr Bash. I live in Ca and work for a PA company. Thank you Dr. Bash! PS : if you are nervous of the chair like me Winkles the therapy dog will sit on your lap and ease the nerves!
