Richard Eidelson, DDS

I had a broken Front tooth with sharp borders bothering me on Saturday September 05. They accepted me the same day, The dentist repaired my tooth so perfect that no one can believe it was broken. I really appreciate their professional service in such a short notice. Richard Eidelson, DDS is very convenient and professional dental clinic I recommend Richard Eidelson, DDS to every one who need dental treatment.

I was freaking out Saturday morning after realizing my replacement teeth came lose, felt out and broke as they hit the floor. I knew I need and emergency dental office that opened on the weekend. It’s nerve racking till I found Dr. Richard Eidelson office located on south and 10^th that opened and fairly close to my apt. I came in, feeling worried and uncomfortable bout my smile. However, the staffs were welcoming and Dr Eidelson was able to see me right away. I was informed about the cost and it came down to be quite a lot of money. I knew I could probably be able to find a cheaper place, but I didn’t wanna risk it and have to deal my tooth broken again. Knowing I’m a student, Doctor Eidelson was kind enough to give me some reduction. I got X-​ray, consolation and temporary teeth prepare. It’s long hours, thought Everything went smoothly, and the whole time I was giving excellent service. Dr and his staffs stayed late after work to their work on me. my next visit was schedule within 3 days which was helpful. I came home and a couple of day later, I was surprised and appreciated it very much that the staffs called and checked on me when I was home. I’m coming back for teeth cleaning and further treatment for my tooth replacement!!’

Umm had my filling done by his assistant (Asian one in the pic) not sure if that’s allowed but follow up dentist told me that they did a bad job.

I have been going here for a few years now and am so happy my friend Mike referred me. These guys are the best! Dr. Eidelson is so warm and friendly. He is very smart and conscientious. I also see Adam the periodontist. I had to have a tissue graft and it turned out perfect. I can’t say enough about the staff. They are all very friendly and super cool. I highly recommend this place.

Not a good dentist. Fumbles around. Never reviews charts.

I work in Center City and was having bad tooth pain today and wanted to see someone right away. I called this practice to see if they had an appointment available today so I could find out what was going on with my tooth. I only told the receptionist who answered the phone that I was having tooth pain and wanted to be seen. She said she had to go consult with the doctor. I was put on hold for a reasonable amount of time and when she came back she told me I had two options: that I could get a root canal if I wanted to «save my tooth» or that I could get the tooth extracted. I found this these options to be very extreme, especially because they had not seen the tooth or conducted any x-​rays to determine what was wrong with it. I have never had a cavity before and it could have been that or my wisdom teeth attempting to come in, but they did not even consider these options when jumping to the conclusion of root canal or extraction. I was very unimpressed by this scare tactic used, especially because I know how pricey root canals can be. From the reviews, it seems like Dr. Eidelson is a good dentist but I would just be wary when calling and make sure you get a consultation before partaking in an expensive procedure.

Considering my complicated dental history, calling Dr. Eidelson’s office was one of my better decisions this past year. I was born missing both of my adult lateral incisors and received a temporary fix from a local dentist who did not do much cosmetic dentistry. For roughly 11 years I had temporary filling that helped make my canines look similar to what lateral incisors should look like. While this sounds like an easy resolution, this temporary filling would stain easily, broke on multiple occasions, and had a negative impact on my level of confidence.
When I was finally ready to have the teeth fixed permanently, I stumbled upon Dr. Eidelson’s contact information while looking for cosmetic dentists within the Philadelphia area. Upon initial consultation in his office, I was immediately comfortable. He took the time to get to me know me, explained in detail what my options were, the timeline of the process, and answered all of my questions thoroughly. Not to mention, his staff members, including receptionists & dental hygienists, were extremely friendly and welcoming to me as a new patient. They are all extremely efficient, hardworking, and take time to get to know their patients (which to me is rare and very important as a patient).
Needless to say, the work he did was phenomenal. I could not be happier with my smile and what it has done for my confidence level. I would refer him to anyone in need of dental services, cosmetic dentistry, dental procedures, etc. Dr. Eidelson and his team are great and it is guaranteed to be an enjoyable and comfortable experience!

Unlike previously visited dentists, Dr. Eidelson and crew didn’t immediately suggest a plan to fund their next vacation after one look at my pirate teeth. In fact, they even complimented my previous dentist’s work, and sent me on my way with a zero-​cavity review.
I must admit, I’m a bit skeptical, as it feels like «the first one’s on us!» treatment. No matter, I’m happy! They have an office a block from my work in center city, and were able to get me in for my first appointment at noon within a day or two of calling. And turns out they even have Saturday hours at a South Street location. Pretty great.

DO NOT waste your time. Rude, disrespectful staff. Condescending Doctor.
This isn’t Mayberry– you could literally walk down the block & find dentists who will treat you better & take the time to listen to you. That’s what I will be doing.

Simply the Best
Dr. Eidelson is an excellent dentist. Not only is he skilled in the most up to date techniques, he’s also understanding and caring. The staff is kind and friendly. At his office, you aren’t treated like just another number. They offer individualized, personalized treatment in an upscale office setting. Honestly, I can’t say enough kind words about Dr. Eidelson and his staff.
I can recall quite a few times when he stayed late just to accommodate my busy schedule. Recently, I had an emergency when he was in Germany on vacation. Dr. Eidelson arranged for me to be seen on the same day. It was amazing to say the least. I am truly thankful to the entire staff. There is only one way to sum it up. Dr. Eidelson is simply the best.

Dr. Eidelson’s dedication to his patients goes beyond any care I’ve ever experienced from a medical professional, ever. He routinely exceeds my expectations with his kindness, thoroughness, and concern for my progress (I experienced trauma to my mouth and needed a series of cosmetic dental procedures). I count myself truly blessed to have found him, and have just helped a friend make their first appointment with Dr. Eidelson the other day. A great dentist is hard to find, and Dr. Eidelson is truly a great dentist, in every sense of the word!
Side note: Dr. Eidelson recently took a (short) trip to Germany. While he was away I experienced some issues with my temporary crown. Unbeknownst to me, his daughter (who is also a dentist) sent him an email concerning my situation. He used his resources to call me from overseas, and also had his daughter meet me the very next day at a time convenient for me (which happened to be 8:00 that night… outside of regular hours). So grateful!!!

I love my new dentist at dentistry 4 life– the crew at this dentist Offc are very friendly, patient, and courteous. I switched my entire family after my hubby went and they treated us all so nice when we went with him for his visit. They are very thorough with your treatment and they follow up with your by sending cards & calling to check on you. I like the personal attention they give & how they care. They treat us like family. Oh and the cookies the give you are great.

Dr Eidelson is great. With his new location at Two Penn Center it has been extremely easy to get an appointment, which I schedule for my lunch break at work. Dr Eidelson and his staff are friendly and efficient: I had one of the most extensive teeth cleanings there and had fillings done in less than an hour. I would highly recommend him.

I was referred here by my Mom, who swears that work done here is the best. She is right. I’ve only been here a few times, but everyone already knows me by first name. It’s a very relaxed and professional atmosphere (hard to believe, but they’ve got the right people here). I have anxiety, especially at the dentist, but I have no problems at this office.
Making an appointment is easy, since the phones are always answered and they are quick to give you open appointments. They always ask if you’re having any issues, and even call you a day or so after your appointment to make sure you’re okay! I have never had another dentist give me a call-​back. Also, if you give them permission, they will send you emails and/​or a text message alert for your upcoming appointment. You can confirm by responding. Easy and convenient.
I am going through Invisalign, but have also had a root canal and other work done here. Dr. Eidelson is very good about keeping you in the loop. He doesn’t just sit you down and go to work. He and his staff will explain what they’re doing and why. This is very important to me. Dr. Eidelson even showed me the computer models of my teeth, and how they are expected to progress with each new Invisalign set. He has a lot of technologically advanced equipment compared to every other dentist I’ve ever been to. He does a lot in-​house, which means I can have one long appointment instead of 5.
The guy that does the root canals is a Master. Seriously. I never thought a root canal would be a good time. He also indulged my curiosity by showing me the tools he uses and the before and after x-​rays.
Candy is the absolute best, most delicate and thorough professional. I think she is an assistant, but she’s such a pro I feel that calling her an assistant seems silly. She is super nice and funny, too! I adore her!
I am pretty sure Heather did my cleaning — she got right in there, as cool and nice as Candy, and let me know what I was doing right, and what I was doing wrong as far as flossing and recommended a specific toothpaste, which has helped me a lot!
Location: right on 11^th and South. Can’t miss it. The office is large, beautiful and well lit. Lovely and comfortable furniture, lots of magazines to read (National Geographic!), wrap around, large windows, too. Easy and amusing to people watch, since it’s on South. Nice hardwood floors. It hardly feels like a waiting room at all. The bathroom is CLASSY, and I’m leaving it at that.
Everyone is so helpful and friendly here.
All of the staff is top-​notch. Dr. Eidelson is calm, funny, just a nice guy to be around. He also knows exactly what he’s doing, and his work shows it. He has a great attitude, as does his entire staff. Best dentist I’ve ever had in my entire life. I only wish I’d started coming sooner. I can’t say enough about my great experiences here.

Dr Eidelson cracks me up! he’s cool dude

It’s been a few years since I’ve been to the dentist and didn’t want to have to show up with a problem like i usually do with dentists. Scheduling was really easy and super pleasant. He is an in network dentist for Guardian, which is a plus. Also in a good and accessible location, right on the corner of 11^th and south.
Reception was welcoming and nice. The office is really spacious and clean. The assistant Candy was really nice and took care of a full set of x-​rays gently. It always hurts when the film digs in your gums, well my gums, and she was really attentive to this and my comfort level.
When I met Dr. Eidelson, he was funny and smart. Theres nothing better to reduce your dental anxiety then a doctor who can make you laugh. He took the time to look over my teeth and while I have some minor issues with a crown and a bridge, since they aren’t bothering me he didn’t push me to have them redone.
I’m scheduled to go back for a cleaning. He is also going to work with my invisalign case as I lost my retainers two years ago. What was great is that I knew the cost going in and out and they made every effort to make sure the services were in network, netting me a cost of *tada* ZERO dollars so far. Pretty impressive considering the meager payouts my dental insurance gives and lack of adult orthodontic coverage.
Smart and funny dentist nets returning patient.

I’ll try to keep this review short and try to make it less about me and more about the service.
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Eidelson since 2010 and can honestly say I have never had a problem with the staff, or the service. I chose his office because I needed a dentist and not a relationship and because I liked the convenience of walking to the dentist. What I didn’t expect was how friendly and personable Dr. Eidelson and his staff were and still are. Especially his staff. They all deserve raises in my opinion.
The office is located on South Street with nearby parking above the Whole Foods and Superfresh markets making it convenient for driving to. Eidelson’s waiting area is modern, well lit and spacious. First impressions make lasting impressions and the comfortable seating and relaxed atmosphere help to make what is typically an uncomfortable experience much more tolerable and pleasant. Your average dental office reflects the personality of the dentist which is to say most dental offices are boring and dull. Dr. Eidelson obviously put time and effort in the design of his office taking care to make sure a patient or potential patient is comfortable when they walk into the office.
I’m not going to pull punches here. I have experienced a few above average wait times. Duh. It’s a dental office, not a Starbucks. It’s all about having reasonable expectations in relation to medical services. I would rather wait knowing that the dentist/​doctor is taking his time with the patient before me then rushing people through. That is the difference between quality service and poor service.
So what about the actual service? I’ll be frank. I believe if you trace the history of dentistry back far enough you will discover it started around the same time as the spanish inquisition. Dr. Eidelson works hard to make sure you are comfortable from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave. He and his assistants, who are all wonderful (and deserve raises), will continually check with you during a procedure to make sure you aren’t experiencing any major discomfort. There is no such thing as pain-​free dentistry but having a staff empathetic to ensuring your comfort makes it all the more pleasant.
I’m never switching dentists again and I recommend Dr. Eidelson to all my friends.

This guy is terrible. As a physician I can tell you that he needs to slow down, do less volume and focus on the patient’s best interest and not the most expensive solution. Stay clear of him for your health and your wallet. I had a very similar protracted, chaotic and condescending experience as Jody o posted. He has poor skills and little value for anyone’s time other than his own. I switched to dr cabot a few blocks away and couldn’t be happier

Dr Eidelson put me right at ease from the moment I walked through the door. Going to the dentist is NOT my favorite thing to do, but he was very understanding and professional. My teeth look great; he gave me a reason to return!
