I was a regular client of Rittenhouse Dentists up until I lost my dental insurance. I had a filling done by them less than a year ago and thought it had fallen out. They fit me in the next day to be seen and did an evaluation. Turns out my tooth was chipped - nothing to do with the filling. Still, they offered to significantly reduce the cost of re-doing the filling to accommodate the cavity that had filled underneath, even though it didn’t seem like in the end it was their fault. I thought that was above and beyond customer service!

Rittenhouse Dentist is literally the best dentist experience I’ve ever had. The space is immaculate snd stylish. The service is friendly. Communication is clear and technologically savvy. Personal text msgs remind me of appointments and I can text back with specific questions. Likewise, Dr. Balin is the absolute best. Her upbeat, positive attitude is only matched by the EXCELLENT work she has done on my teeth! She uses the latest technology and her skill creates a painless experience that leaves me marveling that THAT was a dentist appointment. Plus, they go the extra mile. I recently had to

First time going to this office after multiple bad experiences from the Bala office. Kept going back because my tenner in Philly is supposed to be short term. . . Anyhow, Lauren at the front desk was rude and aggressive. I received no sense of compassion about my care just that I was a number helping drive profit. Advice - answer the phone with Hello and how may I help you.

This place was a lucky first find when I lived in Philly, and I wish I could have taken them with me. All the staff are super personable and kind, and the services are exceptional. They really take care to work with your insurance, and they give great referrals, to top it off. Thanks for everything ladies, and I'll miss you!!

I had a permanent retainer installed at this office years ago. During lunch yesterday a piece of it broke off and was painful. Rittenhouse Dentists got me an appointment for 8 AM the next day! They were beyond helpful and insightful when sharing details about my dental situation. Highly recommend this all star staff and Doctors!

I may be a rare breed, but any time I’m scheduled to visit Rittenhouse Dentists, I am excited! They are professional and pleasant always. So much so, I get my teeth cleaned every 3 months to prevent any trace of tartar. For anyone that dreads their dental visits, Dr. Balin makes every experience easy and she is as sweet as pie! Keep up the good work ladies, and see you in 3 months 🤗

I’ve been going to Rittenhouse Dentist for 2-3 years now, and I absolutely love them! I’m not the easiest dental patient (general anxiety, gag reflex issues, etc.) and they are always so kind and understanding towards me. And the office itself is very well maintained and welcoming! I will continue going to Rittenhouse Dentist for as long as I live in the city.

I'm so relieved to have found a good dentist. The staff are welcoming and friendly, the office was clean and comfortable. I didn't have to wait more than 2 minutes to be seen. This was the easiest round of X-rays I've had to take, they're always a pain but she did a great job. The dentist did a thorough exam I left feeling like I was getting back on track with the care I needed. I really appreciate that they offered me estimates for the cost of my upcoming appointments.

I had a great experience at this place. Both doctor and dental hygienist were excellent, as well as people at reception. I came during my lunch break and managed to get the cleaning and talk to the doctor; there was practically no waiting time. The place was clean and cozy. Great work, Rittenhouse Dentists!

I had a disappointing and highly uncomfortable experience here as a new patient, and thought to share some helpful things to know about Rittenhouse Dentists.
Rittenhouse Dentists does not have the capacity to send their own patients' x-rays to their other locations. I learned this the hard way, by booking an earlier appointment at the Bryn Mawr location, hoping to schedule appointments thereafter for their Center City location. As a new patient, they required I have new x-rays taken. I made sure to clarify that those x-rays done at that location could be used for the CC location and they

Dr. Kansal and Asha are amazing! I absolutely hate the dentist but from the ease of making my appointment online til the time I checked out everything about my experience was easy and pleasant. I was overdue for a cleaning (thanks COVID) and had to get my first-ever cavity filled. After an unpleasant experience at another dentist last month, I was a little nervous to try another practice. Needless to say Rittenhouse exceeded all of my expectations! The location is convenient and everyone was kind and professional.

I had concerns about my cap dislodging several times in the past few months and shared with the dental hygienist that Penn Dental replaced few years ago. She cleaned efficiently and conveyed my concerns to Dr. Kansal. She repaired my cap in minutes! So happy with their service! Thank you to Rittenhouse dental staff!

I am updating this review because Dr. Shimma Abdullah is a gem. She reached out to let me know that certain employee is no longer in her service. As she was the only negative aspect to my experience I can recommend this office and will now return myself. Dr. Abdullah and her assistants are wonderful and make sure you are comfortable.

My dentist recently retired and referred me to Rittenhouse Dentists. My old dentis had put veneers in my mouth 6 months ago and one of them fell out and I saved it. When I called my old dentist office Rittenhouse Dentist answered the phone and I asked them if they would recement my Verneer back in place fo no charge ( my oldentist would have done that in a heartbeat). Receptions put me on hold for a while and came back and said yes, there would be no charge. When I walked into their new office smelling of vanilla with coffee service I was issued into one of their rooms and the young doctor drilled

I had my first appointment with Rittenhouse Dentists - Bryn Mawr today and I was beyond pleased with my entire experience. I have not been to the dentist in a long time so I was very nervous walking into this appointment. From the moment I stepped in the front door, I knew I made the right decision in picking Rittenhouse Dentists - Bryn Mawr. The receptionist was warm and friendly, the waiting room was clean and welcoming. I only waited a few short minutes before Jamie came out to take me back. She knew I was nervous and made sure to address any concerns that I had upfront. She explained exactly

I hadn't been to the dentist in 5 years and was nervous about my visit but everything about Rittenhouse Dentists put me at ease. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly, and they put a lot of effort into measures for a relaxing atmosphere such as candles, complimentary beverages, and warm washcloths to freshen up after the cleaning. My cleaning was extremely thorough and gentle and I left feeling like my teeth were visibly whiter. Although I unfortunately had to have my first cavity filled, it was quick and painless. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a dentist,

So I have not been to the dentist in quite sometime. And lately some pesky wisdom teeth has sparked my motivation to go! I'm new to the Philadelphia area and I was asking for some recommendations and this group was recommended. However, they are so popular that the other sites were booked months in advance but this location had something sooner. And this location was absolutely amazing! It was easy to find and had plenty of parking. The office is beautiful and inviting and the staff is top notch. My whole visit from start to finish was amazing. I feel confident going forward getting all my

This is the best dentist I have ever been to! Everyone is very polite and patient when explaining procedures and cost with those said procedures. I have never been to any kind of dental/medical office where they offer Netflix so that you're comfortable ! I actually enjoy coming to the dentist now and have no fear whatsoever. I recommend this place to everyone !
