TESTIMONIALS

Nereida

I am a single mother of three children and three grandchildren. My career spans over 30 years working at the American Lung Association, a non-profit organization with a mission to fight lung disease and promote lung health through programs seeking to advocate the rights of non-smoker’s. I am proud to say that our organization is responsible for smoke-free flying, work places, restaurants and most recently hotels. Prior to that, I worked in two city government agencies (Maternal and Infant Care Family Planning and Methadone Maintenance Treatment Programs.)

I first learned about Dr. Oelbaum’s office through 1-800-Dentist and have been a patient for four years. My first impression of the facility was that it was managed by an efficient, caring staff. Dr. Oelbaum and his colleagues offer up-to-date dental services to their patients. In the four years that I have been coming to Dr. Oelbaum’s office, he has made some renovations and or improvements to better serve patients, such as providing coffee in the reception area.

Compared to my previous dentist, I believe Dr. Oelbaum keeps up with new technology and always makes sure his patients get the best care possible. He is one of those rare doctors who genuinely cares about his patients and often follows-up with a patient who has had surgery or major work. When he learned I was battling breast cancer, he even called me at home, just to say hi!

The doctors and staff make me feel like I am a part of one big happy family. The minute I walk through the door, I am always greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. I am always amazed the staff remembers each patient by name.

I keep coming to this office because of the thoughtful care, concern and treatment provided to each patient. This wonderful team of doctors and staff run the office very efficiently, delivering appointment confirmations to each patient and very little waiting. They offer workable payment plans, as needed. I have recommended Dr, Oelbaum to my son, and many of my friends and neighbors.

My attitude at one time was that dentists were like car mechanics. You were at their mercy. Throughout the years, I have had my share of dentists, with little or no satisfaction. My teeth were gradually crumbling like pyramids. The only problem was that this process was going on in my mouth!

Well, ten years ago, I had the great fortune of hearing several colleagues talk about their experiences and satisfaction with work done to their teeth. I casually mentioned that I was looking for a dentist. I immediately received one of Dr. Oelbaum’s cards. To make a long story short, I called and made an appointment.

When it comes to going to the dentist, I am just as much a coward as they next person, but the situation in my mouth was even more frightening. When I entered the office, a warm, personable and efficient receptionist greeted me. The office was attractive and spotless, yet it dispelled that “clinical” aura that can be so intimidating.

I have friends who insist on going to the “city” to see a dentist, with the illusion that going downtown ensures them of the best treatment. I’ve seen the results of the work they received. Unfortunately, their disappointment is obvious and all their money and time spent have been to no avail. It’s their loss, because one of the best, if not the greatest dental community is right here in the Bronx. Dr. Oelbaum and his associates have maintained their instruments on the cutting edge of technology. Patients are warmly and quickly attended to as well. Professionalism and expertise are without question.

I am a 65-year-old retired teacher of 32 years. Thanks to Dr. Oelbaum and his associates, I now have the smile of a 30- year-old. Occasionally, I receive complements about my lovely smile. Of course I say, “Thank-you” and silently I say, “Thank-you Dr. Oelbaum.”

I taught for many years in the elementary school in New York City. My career was my fulfilling--a great experience. I taught near Dr. Oelbaum’s office in the Bronx. A friend of mine from school highly recommended him. I have been a patient in the office for more than 20 years.

The office is very clean, well maintained and managed. Over the years, more staff has been added and are very highly qualified.

Dr. Oelbaum has always upgraded his office decor and machinery and uses the most modern equipment.

The office staff is not only efficient, but also very congenial. There is a warm feeling in this office. You are always made to feel comfortable.

The expertise of the staff is excellent. You always feel they take a personal interest in your particular problem.

Presently, I am under the care of Dr. Cheng. He is very competent and compassionate. Following a difficult procedure, a member of the staff always calls you at home.

I am so fortunate to have Dr. Oelbaum and his staff take care of my dental needs, including his hygienist Jennifer.
