Always a great experience going for my 6month check ups. They are quick, friendly, and very easy process. I love that they text reminders of any appointments 2 weeks before and day of, its very helpful to remember to schedule off work. I also like that they give a goodie bag with a toothbrush, floss, and toothpaste! The wonderful lady at the front desk is always so sweet! I dont remember her name but she is always smiling and happy to answer any question.

I've always had so much anxiety with seeing the dentist. The entire office staff cured my anxiety today. I've already recommended Prime to my daughter who recently had a bad experience with her current dentist. For the first time in my life I can honestly say that I'm looking forward to my next appointment.

I was so scared to go to the office and everyone made me feel so comfortable. Checking on me constantly, everything was explained to me in detail and what I didnt understand or get it was broken down to me. From the customer service from the front office to the assistant and my dentist was just awesome and comforting.my anxiety level isnt as bad as I first walked thru that door.

Dr. Shah and the team at Prime Dentistry are doing great. I have a good experience during my emergency root canal treatment. The services that I receive from Dr Shah are excellent. Dr. Shah and the staff are friendly and ensure I am adequately informed about my procedure and care. I would have no fear in recommending them to anyone and friends.

Incredibly kind staff, they explain exactly what they need to do for treatments, and they don't pressure you into anything you aren't comfortable with!

Dr. Shah and his team are amazing. I used to hate going to the dentist but now I don't mind because of how well they treat me. I did not go to the dentist for a little over two years and decided to go back and realized a new team had taken over. Initially, my first appointment was not registered in the system when I showed up but Dr. Shah was kind enough to take me in and do the cleaning himself.

He found a few cavities and was gentle throughout the whole process asking me if I'm okay often, which I appreciated. X-rays also showed that one of my teeth did not have much bone left and was bound to fall out like a baby tooth. Dr. Shah and his team answered all of my questions and was patient. I had to do a bone graft and dental implant. The whole process took about 9 months, but time flew by because of how well they did everything. 100 out of 5 stars. Highly recommend! Thank you Dr. Shah and Pamela! I love my new tooth and smile thanks to you and your team.

I have an intense case of dental anxiety which has prevented me from obtaining proper care in the past. This led to many issues with my teeth and I was so overwhelmed that I didnt know where to start. I was given the name of Prime Dentistry by a friend and my life was changed from the first time I stepped into the office. The staff was sympathetic, caring and nonjudgmental.

The doctor went above and beyond to alleviate my fears, work with my concerns and determine a plan moving forward. I had my first treatment today and I am blown away by the genuine thoughtfulness of the entire office. I finally feel as though I am on the right track with my dental health and I am so grateful for the doctors and staff at Prime Dentistry. Thank you!

This dentist office was INCREDIBLE! I had been experiencing pain and when I arrived everyone was super nice and welcoming. Then after X-ray they told me the cost as well as payment options, then we got started right away. During the procedure the dentist continued to ask if I was ok and to make sure I wasnt experiencing any pain. If you are experiencing any pain check them out, thank me later! Then they called and checked on me the next day!

This staff is AMAZING! I started as emergency visit patient in need of TWO EXTRACTIONS. Dr. Shah is the KING OF EXTRACTIONS! I only felt a little pressure but NO PAIN. I loved the staff sooo much I made a two week appointment to have my teeth cleaned and normal checkup. Let me say, it had been over 10 years since my last dentist visit and I NEVER would have come back until I was in more pain.

But this office has changed my views on dentist visits. I drive from South Jersey ( it a easy direct route with the office on a major road). Each staff member plays an important role in the offices exceptional customer service. They even text you to remind you about your appointments What a continued experience
