Todd A Fleischman, DMD and Associates

Dr. Fleischman and staff were courteous, professional and quite informative regarding my dental issues and options. I found out more about my own dental health and options for further care in this single visit than I have ever received in all my dental visits at other offices combined. Dr. Fleischman and staff answered all of my questions succinctly and without any aggressive «selling» of dental services. I would highly recommend this office.

Dr. Fleischman came highly recommend by two folks at work. He is indeed terrific. Even the the person who did my cleaning was great. The hours/​days they were open did leave something to be desired as getting an appointment was not as easy as I had hoped. However, the nasty, pushy, and generally horrible front desk person made me leave never to come back.
There is nothing worse than having someone with ZERO listening skills try and push treatment you don’t want, the doctor agreed you did not, want but she wants you to have. If the world is made up of people who listen and people who just wait to talk, the front desk person is in a class of her own as she just wants to talk over you in the most pushy manner possible.
It’s a shame you can’t get the treatment you want from what seemed to be nice folks doing the treatment just because you can’t get past the dragon manning the phones and front desk.

Confessions of a serial dentist-​dater:
From 2008 – 2011, I «dated» a lot of dentists in the Philadelphia area, mostly through Groupon. I figured dentists were dentists, that they were one and the same. I got some good deals on Groupon, but then when it came for a repeat visit, the prices shot up drastically. I found a decent one way up in the Far Northeast section of Philadelphia, but it took me about 90 minutes to get there each way, just coming from Center City.
I finally realized that the Groupon model was flawed in that the only businesses that had Groupon deals were ones that were hurting for customers, and thus a Groupon deal was a sign of inferior quality.
I asked friends for suggestions, and no one was really passionate about their dentist except for my friend who is the owner/​chef of Kanella at 10^th & Spruce. He was adamant that he had the best dentist, so I went, partially because of his endorsement and partially because of … another introductory offer at a steep discount.
But Dr. Fleischman’s practice didn’t offer a Groupon deal and I saw that as a good sign.
In my first visit, I didn’t say that the other dentists told me that I needed a mouth guard because of grinding teeth. I figured I would just play dumb. But Dr. Fleischman did something no other dentist did: He put his fingers by my ear lobes (not in my mouth) and asked me to bite down several times. He could tell from his exterior hand hold that I needed a mouth guard.
I had already gotten two sets of mouth guards from previous dentists, but they were of a flimsy material, and the mouth guard I got here was of a much firmer sort. But before I got it, they looked at my other mouth guards and explained to me why that material was not great.
I love all the hygienists, especially Patricia, who makes for a good therapist too. They all have a lot of experience and are not on internships from hygienist school. I don’t think they will be too offended to have me say here that sometimes it’s good not to look 21, especially when other people’s teeth are involved.
Thanks to good cleaning, I can put my tongue in cheek.
It’s a very competent staff, and I think the office has been there for over a hundred years…
the office, not the hygienists!

Amazing. I have teeth prone to decay and was very nervous to see a new dentist (my previous dentist was near my last job.) Dr. Fleischman’s staff at the front desk are extremely warm and Andy, his asst. was so sweet when I told her how anxious I was. Dr. Fleischman himself was so nice and so understanding. He explained everything during my visit and was incredibly thorough.

Who better than another dentist as patient to accurately evaluate the performance of a fellow professional? Dr Fleischman just completed some major dental treatment on me. I was very careful in my selection as to whom would treat me. My dental issue was «open to discussion.» After much careful consideration, I opted for Dr Fleischman. It was a great decision. And yes, Dr Todd was especially nice and patient with me, but honestly, the proof is in the pudding. From beginning to end, the staff, treatment, and most importantly, the end result, were absolutely the best best– blue ribbon. 100% perfect.

If I had better dental insurance, I’d come here all the time. This dental office is very up-​to-​date, with the latest technology, nice décor, with tea and hot/​cold water in the waiting room. It seems like they try to make it as comfortable for patients as possible.
Dr. Fleischman is very friendly and easy to talk to – I feel like my teeth are in good hands with him. Also, he seems straightforward and doesn’t try to sell me services I don’t need.
