I am so thankful to have found Dr. Lerner and his wonderful staff!!! I have always been a very focused high energy and successful person my entire life. There was nothing I couldnt accomplish once I put my mind to it! I started my own medical billing company at 23 years old, was just married with one child already and bought my first home. I loved cooking and exercising and everything about life. By the time I was 30 I had 4 children and went back to school to be a holistic health counselor and was doing that on the side as it was my passion. Around that time I had some dental work done. I can remember it to be that time specifically because my youngest daughter just finished breast feeding and was now one. I had a few root canals done and two infected teeth pulled. They only put one crown on one of the root canals because they discharged anyone with my insurance from their practice. That dentist said he would put the crown on it and I could go somewhere else if I had an issues. Oddly, I did have a pain in that tooth when I bit down. I went to another dentist and they said the root canal looked fine and not to worry. However they wanted me to pull more teeth which freaked me out. Something didnt feel right and so I decided to look for a holistic dentist since I followed holistic principles with everything else in my life. Upon visiting Dr. Lerner we addressed all of my concerns and rather than rushing me into anything he allowed me to be a part of planning what we would do next. That was exactly what I needed! When examining the root canal with the crown he felt there was something deeper going on and sent me to a specialist. Turns out I had a terrible infection in the root of that tooth and Dr. Lerner said we had to pull it. I had no idea the impact that was going to have on my health. Around the time I had that root canal done 5 years ago my energy just seemed to decrease. Everything overwhelmed me. Eating healthy was impossible since I was constantly craving sugar and fat and my blood sugar would drop constantly. I could no longer exercise because it would completely burn me out for the entire day. I couldnt stay on task with anything and I couldnt focus. I have been suffering with adrenal fatigue for the past 5 years (accompanied by brain fog, depression, chronic fatigue, low blood sugar and pressure..and everything else that comes along with it). As you can imagine my life completely changed as I knew it. I could no longer do any of the things I loved so much. It was even hard for me to work more than a few hours a week and I completely stopped holistic health counseling. At the time I didnt connect it to the root canals but I do now! I had the infected tooth pulled last week and I immediately felt a difference in my body and my MIND. I am no longer tired or depressed. My brain fog is completely gone and I can focus and get things done again. I havent felt this normal in a really long time and I cant tell you how happy I am. Dr. Lerner is amazing! He listens and takes the time to investigate what is going on. I highly recommend this office to everyone and especially anyone dealing with any health issues that has root canals!!!

I had develop a great fear for snythung dental related, after a couple of painful experiences, just listening to the drill will be enough to make me pass out. Due to a family situation, functional medicine became an integral oart of my family. We have an excelent functional doctor, but no luck funding a wholistic dentist. Then it happened, a root canal from 10 years ago got infected. My regular dentist then sent me to an oral surgeon. I called and told his assistant I was a referral and that I had a toothache. I was happy they were going to ser me right away. I arrived and next thing you know I am being prep for an extraction. I was in full panic. The idea of saving the tooth was not even considered. I manage to get myself out if the situation. I got a prescription and went home. Browsing thru a magazine, I came acrois Dr. Lerner. I called for a second opinion. They took me in the same day. I was evaluated and examined every which way possible. In the end the outcome was the same. The tooth got extracted. I was very comfortable during the procedure, and someone from the staff called me at least twice to see how I was doing. Many other rhings have been uncovered after that visit. Jane has removed rocks from my gums. My bite us being fixed, and all metals removed from my mouth since thru other channel I found out I am allergic to nickel. No biggie my implants will be ceramic. My husband and two sons are also patients of Dr. Lerner now. They all appreciate the time spent during their visit, specially cleanings. They went from the express 15 minute cleaning with their regular hygienist, to an hour cleaning with Jane or the new lady( sorry do not know your name). The no mercury policy is a big winner for us. My family and I live the fact, that we feel treated like the being behind the human, and not like cattle or wors yet a number. If you want to feel truly cared for, then this is your place.

I have to say, if going to the dentist can be an amazing experience than this is it. The staff was so friendly, and they were so gentle and patient. They renewed my faith in dentists, and I think I finally feel good about good to the dentist again. If you are nervous, or have been procrastinating going, I HIGHLY recommend this office, they are OUTSTANDING! I had developed a fear of going to the dentist, after a horrible experience a few years back. I had been going to the same dentist for roughly 20 years. He was the only dentist I went to since I was 5 years old. He probably should have retired much sooner than he did. Although I am fortunate with no cavities, a simple cleaning turned into a blood bath.... Each time getting worse as he aged and his hands were not as steady as they began. It took years for me to go back for a check up again. I rarely write these recommendations, but when you receive OUTSTANDING service, you just want to tell EVERYONE. Thank you!!! :)

I found Dr. Lerner’s office online while searching for Holistic Dentists in the NY/tri-state area. I was looking for a healthier and more natural way to approach my dental hygiene and care, which is exactly what I found at The Center for Holistic Dentistry, and more! Dr. Lerner and his staff were extremely thorough during my cleanings, as well as when I had a new crown put on my tooth. It was almost to my surprise, because I had not received that level of care before at my previous dental offices. Everybody who I talked and interacted with at the office was extremely personable and very accommodating when it came to scheduling. Their level of professionalism, combined with a true desire to help their patients, has transformed me into a life long patient. Anybody that honestly wants to take responsibility for their dental hygiene/care should come to this office. My time with Dr. Lerner and his staff has truly changed my dental habits, and for that I am grateful.
