Patient Testimonials
"My son's wire broke and they told me to come right over. They were busy but they fit us in and rushed because they knew we were trying to make it to his soccer game. They always accommodate every situation and care about my son's comfort and needs. Hands down, the best dental and orthodontic practice anywhere!!"

“My daughter Jamie has been seeing Dr. Essner for 10 years! Jamie loves going to see her. We have always found Dr. Essner to be warm, friendly, gentle, thorough and quick, which is very important with children.
My son Mikey has special needs, and it takes a special person to handle him, because he is easily frightened and has difficulty understanding what is going to happen. He may cry, but it’s amazing — the job gets done, and Dr. Essner tells him what a great job he did and what fabulous teeth he has. Mikey always leaves with a smile and a hug. He says, ‘Thank you!’ and tells Dr. Essner he loves her.
As a person who needed a lot of dental care, I grew up with the imprint of the arms of the dental chair on my hands: I didn’t want that for my kids. Going to see Dr. Essner is always an overwhelmingly positive experience. Dr. Essner always makes everything fun — she makes it a game. It seems like she spends every waking hour coming up with new ideas to make children feel comfortable in that chair so she can do what she needs to do.
We really love Dr. Essner’s new office. The moment you open the door, Mikey’s appearance changes, because he remembers it and it has a calming effect on him. And the entire staff is just so nice!”

“I can’t believe it, but my kids love going to the dentist! They look forward to their appointments and love ‘Dr. Sharon.’ Both of my girls are comfortable with her, which makes my life easier as a mom dealing with cavities, teeth to be pulled and braces.
I find it very easy to talk to Dr. Essner about their treatment: she’s really up on what’s going on as a dentist. She picks up on things. For example, Dr. Essner recommended that Nicole see an orthodontist when she was just 9, which seemed very young. But she was right — Nicole needed braces very early.
My daughter Alexa needed some extensive dental work when she was not yet even 2 — she was just a baby, and we had no idea what to expect. Both Dr. Essner and Alexa handled it very well.”

"All 5 of my children are in great hands with Dr. Charlie and Dr. Ari. The quality of care they give each patient is incredible. They spend time with the parents to explain and make sure everyone is comfortable with the treatment plan. Most importantly is how caring these two doctors and their staff are. My son Luciano's teeth look beautiful. I am very happy with the results. I would highly recommend this office not just as a mom but as a registered dental hygienist as well. Thanks again for everything Dr. Charlie and Dr. Ari. You are both wonderful. I will be forever grateful for all your help."
