A number of folks requested that I compile all the Dentist recommendations that I received, so here ya go! Thanks to everyone who emailed me about their dentist! You may wonder what Dentist I went with, and the answer is none! I was looking for a dentist who was part of a DHMO (dental health maintenance organization), but none of the recommended dentists are part of a DHMO, so I’m just sticking with my current dentist. -Todd Shirley: ________________________ DENTISTS: Dr Matthew Feigel in Oakland (on Craig). He works with/took over Margaret Horning's practice. all my kids and I go to him, we love him and we love the hygienists. Dr. Todd Resek is GREAT. He's in Oakmont. Nova dental associates in Etna or Bloomfield both are quick from HP. Have been going there a long time. Great dentists. I've been very happy with Dr. Murcko in Bloomfield. Her office is on Penn, across from Children's Hospital and near the corner of Penn and Main. Here's her web site: https://www.pghfirstimpression.com/ <https://www.pghfirstimpression.com/> I am very happy with Dr. David Anderson at 4200 Butler St. 412-687-8200 Dr. Bonsteel at Chestnut Hills Dental on Centre Ave (near Petsmart, Whole Foods) is AWESOME. Strongly recommend. https://www.yelp.com/biz/block-harvey-m-dmd-pittsburgh <https://www.yelp.com/biz/block-harvey-m-dmd-pittsburgh> Dr. James Petraitis ALCOMA DENTAL ASSOCS, Saltzburg Road, Penn Hills. Only takes 10 minutes to get there. He is awesome, and so is his staff. Very satisfied customer. I've been goung to John Waldman, who is downtown and in squirrel hill on wilkins. Perfectly nice Dr Matthew Feigel in Oakland. I have had terrible dentist experiences so I hate dentists and I absolutely love him!! I highly recommend him! I'm on my second generation of dentists at Fox Chapel Family Dental (Formerly Johnson Family Dental). I am very satisfied with them. I've not had any experience with them for children, but have no reason to think they would not be good with kids as well. http://www.pittsburghdentalfamily.com/ <http://www.pittsburghdentalfamily.com/> 501 Freeport Rd. Aspinwall, PA 15215 (412) 781-4511 I love Dr. Juliet Murcko in Lawrenceville! And you can always go to Pitt dental school for very thorough and discounted treatment. We like Dennis Garrow. Address, 500 S Aiken Ave # 111, Pittsburgh, PA 15232, (412) 687-3080 <applewebdata://A2BB9DE6-72C8-4C32-B2EF-97F1EC76E3BD>. That's the first floor of the Coronado bldg on the corner of Centre and Aiken. It's a small practice. He is pleasant and low key. We think his rates are very reasonable. And he is very practical, e.g. he doesn't over treat or push "cosmetic dentistry”. I started using Chestnut Hills Dental in the Eastside shopping plaza last year when my dentist retired and her replacement didn't accept my insurance. I've been pleased with my experience, although I've had a different dentist each time I've gone. It seems I get a young dentist who moves on. (I've like each of them, though.) The hygienist has always been the same. There is a dentist, Dr. Bonsteel, who has been there for some time and is highly regarded. Dr. Jeffrey Frye Squirrel Hill on Murray Ave 412-422-9222 Atlas Dental is great. They are in downtown so not necessarily close to HP (and parking is not easy or cheap) but they are the best I've found in Pittsburgh. I would recommend Dr. William Petraglia in the Essex House Center Ave 412-661-7500 I have been going to him for 30 plus years and his daughter just joined his practice. Takes most insurance. Just switched to Dr. Gleason (Gleason Family Dentistry) in Squirrel Hill, at Shady and Forbes. So far, so good. polished dental Jancey st across from the old school 412-362-5677 Dr. Horan in Squirrel Hill on Murray Avenue. Best in the biz 1825 Murray Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15217 412-521-5343 I am VERY picky about dentists, and I highly recommend Chestnut Hills Dental in Squirrel Hill (above the Dunkin Donuts). They are very kind and have many services under one roof (routine checkups, xrays, root canals, orthodontics, etc). Plus, you can get a treat at DD or Starbucks when you're done. Paul Gleason in squirrel hill. Been with him 13 years. Recommend him unequivocally. Larry Leahy, on Ellsworth. He's a great guy, and knows his stuff. My kids, wife, and I all go to him, and have for years. I absolutely LOVE my dentist - Tammy DeGregorio (http://holisticdentistpgh.com <http://holisticdentistpgh.com/>). And how many people can say that!? Mary Vogel in the Gateway Towers downtown- 4126651810 <>.I have been going to her for years. I have only good things to say about Dr. Conicella in Sharpsburg. Paul Gleason on Forbes near Shady with free parking lot. Takes UPMC insurance and others but not Guardian What do you consider in the area? I go to Dr. Resek in Oakmont. He's really great. I won't see anyone but him or his partner, Dr. Nader. Harvey Block in The Factory. Penn and Braddock. I've known him since grade school Good dentist http://docblockdmd.com/ <http://docblockdmd.com/> I have been going to Dr Zena Jeffries for several years. She is on Centre, just after Morewood as you drive towards Oakland. She is terrific, and I really think she is very knowledgeable. And, as a bonus, (in my eyes), she runs an all female business! Good luck, Designs in dentistry I really like Fox Chapel Family Dental on Freeport Rd.: http://www.pittsburghdentalfamily.com/ <http://www.pittsburghdentalfamily.com/> I really like Dr. Leahy (not sure of his first name). His office is on Ellsworth Ave. not far from Shady, plenty of street parking. He found and fixed a bad filling that my previous dentist had missed, I like his hygienist, his receptionist is super nice, and best of all, he has a couple of rescue dogs who hang around in the office. They’re old so they pretty much lie there but it’s distracting and soothing to have them in the room while getting treatment. The phone number is 412-362-0900 <>. I've been going to Dr. Terry Langett in Aspinwall for years. He and everyone in his office are friendly. i love Dr. Larry Leahy Ellsworth Dentistry on Ellsworth very great atmosphere - 412 362 0900 <> My wife and I go to Dr. Mark Malvin in Oakland. He's on Craig St. My dentist is Dr. Stephen DeFusco on Liberty in Bloomfield, near the post office, and he is terrific. Always kind and cheerful, very thorough. The staff is great, too. Dr. DeFusco has a new female associate whom I had the pleasure of seeing recently for a non-routine appointment (chipped molar). She, too, is very personable and did a great job on the repair. Nova dental associates. Have been going there for over 25 years. Etna and bloomfield I have had a good experience with All About Smiles across from the seminary. It's like a clinic where hygienists do the cleaning then a dentist checks things out. I haven't had any major dental work there though. Dr. Warrin, Gruendal & Boles Oakland. I go to Dr. G but recently Dr B treated me. I think very highly of both. I've been going to Dr. Stephen DeFusco in Bloomfield for nearly 20 years--highly recommended!http://www.vitals.com/dentists/Dr_Stephen_Defusco/office-locations <http://www.vitals.com/dentists/Dr_Stephen_Defusco/office-locations> I've been going to Dr. Stephen DeFusco in Bloomfield for nearly 20 years--highly recommended!http://www.vitals.com/dentists/Dr_Stephen_Defusco/office-locations <http://www.vitals.com/dentists/Dr_Stephen_Defusco/office-locations> I love Dr. James Petraglia.
