I just recently changed to this Dental office as my other provider has retired and was pleasantly surprised by Melissa, Shaye, Dr. McClennan and Dr. Nathanson's genuinely pleasant office and bedside manor that has allowed me to return (3) times in the past couple of months to have dental work done that should've been done years ago. The office is upscale and VERY comfortable from the front lobby to the chair. These folks know their craft and I'm very pleased with the work AND finally something I've never had in 55 yrs of going to the Dentist...Dr. McClennan calls each evening after a procedure

I set it up my apt. a month in advance and called specifically to ask if they took my insurance. They said yes when I read off all the info on my card. I filled out dozens of pages of paperwork, many trying to sell botox and teeth whitening, about a week in advance and was called and texted several times to remind me to fill it out, but when I called back they'd check and say oh yes, sorry, it is filled out. The night before my appointment they called at nine at night and woke my kid up, just to see for the second time that day if I had any questions, which I had already said earlier I did not

Who knew this little gem was hiding on the backside of Shawan road. My hygenist was very personable and remembered to give me my goodie bag. She provided a warm blanket and a neck pillow which made the experience much more pleasureable. If you are like me, searching for a new home after your dentist for over 30 years retires or you are looking for a unique dental experience, give Nathanson a try.

I have known Dr Nathanson since he opened his practice in the Baltimore area many years ago. As this practice grew he has always remained first and foremost interested in those persons he cares for and his staff reflects this. A visit is always a good experience.

As usual the staff at Nathanson Dental was professional, courteous, and efficient! They ask great questions and really listen to the answers. They are a true Customer focused organization and I am glad we found them when we moved here.

I have been to a lot of doctors in the past several years because I was dealing with an ongoing medical condition. I have never had an experience with a doctor as knowledgeable, hospitable, and genuine as Dr. Nathanson. I am extremely disappointed to say that I will not be able to work with him because I am moving down South in a few weeks. What makes Dr. Nathanson stick out is his willingness to contact me and help me find a doctor in my new area, even though he knows I can't be his patient. If you want to have an experience where you actually feel like a person, then I highly recommend Dr. Nathanson

Dr. Nathanson & his office staff provided wonderful service, and expertise on the sleep appliance to treat my sleep apnea.
I tried many different sleep machines and various masks, but with no luck it just didn't work for me.
I have had the oral sleep device for about a month now. It will take some time to adjust, but I'm hoping to have success with this treatment. I feel even better knowing that Dr. Nathanson and some of his staff have personal experience with it.
The office and staff have been very welcoming, cheerful, kind, and friendly. During my first visit, a huge storm came through. I

The dentist is not my favorite place to be but Nathanson Dental makes it as positive as it can. I switched from another dentist a few years ago because I detested having my teeth cleaned. It felt like torture.
At Nathanson, the hygienists are ALL gentle. They are the best! I don’t dread going at all.
And Dr Nathanson is a true professional with all state of the art equipment. He’s done a great job making his office safe during the pandemic. I feel like I’m in good hands!!

Where do I start. Unprofessional, Inept, a Scam. I called asking if my insurance would be in-network and was assured it was. (It wasn't and I paid for it, as opposed to the Dental Office who made the mistake!) I have never had a cavity in 27 years and I walked out of their office with a record number of 11 cavities. (I went to get a second opinion and was informed I had no issues- I have been going to a Dentist twice a year since I was a child ). (It should be noted I requested they did NOT run a pre-estimate and they did anyways – the pre-estimate total was roughly near $1000, no wonder they
