What an amazing office! Dr Ruchlin is incredibly talented at what he does. Decades of professional experience, attention to detail, use of state of the art dental practices/devices and outstanding in-person communication in discussing treatment options, etc. Additionally, the office staff is top notch.

Best dentist ever. Not only is the Dr. Ruchlin skilled, he spends time keeping up on the latest techniques and innovations. I recommend him to anyone who avoids the dentist due to concerns about anything from pain to aptitude. He has a gentle touch and is highly skilled.
