PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. Alvarez and his staff were amazing! They were very warm and friendly, and clearly are dedicated to providing quality care and customer (patient) service. My cleaning, done by a hygienist, was quick and painless and when the doctor came to see me about an issue I have, he gave me options rather than try to push me toward a procedure I don’t need. He said he would look into how much insurance will cover and get me an accurate quote, and we could move forward from there. In my experience, doctors/dentists aren’t necessarily trying to accommodate to the patient’s financial situation and working so much with their insurance –they just want you to get xyz procedure done– so I really appreciate the doctor being considerate of that. Overall, I had a lovely experience in a clean and modern office, and I got a nice goodie bag with new oral hygiene tools at the end. Also, there’s netflix in the patient room, so you can watch (or listen) while you’re getting cleaned.

Exceptional service from the initial phone call. Jenny is so pleasant and professional. The entire staff (my apologies, I don’t remember all names) is just simply amazing. I have a little anxiety going to the dentist but they were all very welcoming and I was able to get an appointment very quickly. I will be returning for a follow up and look forward to resolving this issue. I have found a new dentist and couldn’t be happier. Thank you Bloomfield Dental Designs.

Four years later and I’m still the happiest patient. Dr. Alvarez is always very pleasant, professional, mad caring! Dr. Alvarez will always point out the good and gently approaches any situation with ease. I always feel comfortable, prioritize, and welcomed at each of my visits. In addition to my entire family visiting Dr. Alvarez we couldn’t have chosen a better doctor to meet all of our dental needs. Absolutely everyone is super professional and nice. THEY LISTEN! To me that is very important. In fact, number 1 on the list. Thank you to the entire team! The Hercules Family

This was the BEST Dentist I have ever been to. I assure you I have been to several Dentist in my life because well, my teeth are hell. Dr. Alvarez is the kindest and gentlest Dentist that has ever treated me. I get very anxious when I have dental work, to the point that I start shaking. Most Dentist will keep pushing through but Dr. Alvarez keep checking on me throughout the procedure and reminded me to breath. I had an extraction done and it was quick and painless. I’ve had an ongoing issue with an abscess for years, and not one Dentist has ever told me that I had a cracked tooth, but Dr. Alvarez did. Also all of the other office staff were fantastic. It’s a very pleasant and inviting environment. I’m so thrilled with the results and service that I scheduled another appointment for a cleaning. I’m so glad I found this place!

I’ve been going to Dr. Alvarez for about 5 years and he is amazing. The office staff are very professional and the office space is immaculate. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field and did an amazing job with my veneers. They look very natural and I always get compliments on my smile. I would highly recommend this dentist office if you live near Bloomfield.

This is going to be one of the most glowing reviews that I have ever written here on Yelp. I wish that I could give twenty stars to Dr. Alvarez and Bloomfield Dental Designs. I had the best possible experience during my office visit yesterday and every expectation was exceeded. I had been experiencing some pain in my tooth and jaw for several days. Initially, I thought that it was attributable to grinding my teeth for a couple of nights and that it eventually would go away. Alas, it persisted and it was getting worse. As Murphy’s Law would have it, the pain became unbearable on a Saturday and my current dentist didn’t have office hours (plus, her website where you can purportedly book appointments online was down; I couldn’t wait to call on Monday). A search online led me to Bloomfield Dental Designs and thankfully they had a slot available yesterday afternoon. Same day appointment AND they took my insurance! The new patient paperwork was easy and straightforward – no duplicative or useless questions. The receptionist was very polite, personable, and friendly. There was no wait either. Even though it was a same day appointment, I was seen at my scheduled time. I couldn’t believe it. The nurse took some X-rays and asked me about the pain that I was experiencing. I was also asked what I wanted to watch on television. I was given a keyboard and they have Netflix. What??? Dr. Alvarez then came in and introduced himself. He is extraordinarily kind and took the time to carefully explain that I had a “pocket” which was attributable to either having braces or a mouth injury I had in that area as a child. He also explained the treatment I would have that day from the hygienist, the medication required, and potential next steps. The hygienist carefully treated the area and then told me what do before my next appointment in two weeks. Dr. Alvarez then met with me at the front desk before I left to personally give me my prescription, the handwritten instructions, and shake my hand. Granted, parking may be difficult at times because it is near Bloomfield College and right off of Bloomfield Avenue. There is a parking lot nearby and if you are a Bloomfield resident, their office is in a convenient location right in the heart of downtown. Dr. Alvarez and Bloomfield Dental Designs will be my go-to dentist until my upcoming move. Their office is clean and modern and everyone is so nice. I even received a text as soon as I left reminding me of my upcoming appointment so that I could put it in my phone (instead of a card). If you are looking for a new dentist in the area, Dr. Alvarez is great!

After several failed attempts in finding a good dentist since I moved to NJ, my search is finally over!  From their receptionist and the hygienist to the Dr. Alvarez they are outstanding! My only regret was not finding them  4 years ago! I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for an outstanding dentist including to those who have phobia to dental visits.  They make you feel comfortable and are very patient to answer all your questions.

This dentist and all the people working there are amazing. I had some really bad experiences with my last two dentists and I was referred to this one by a friend who highly recommend him. This dentist listened to my concerns took everything I said into account explained everything that needed to be done even drew me a picture to explain and he said he was able to save my tooth that two other doctors said they had to remove. He takes a lot of pride in his work. I’m very happy I found this place it’s far from me but I will take the drive for me and my son to have a good dentist.

I’ve been doing to Bloomfield Dental Designs for a few years now and have been consistently happy with the entire office’s service and Dr. Alvarez’s knowledge. For years I suffered from TMJ pain and visited several different dentists to treat it, Dr. Alavarez effectively treated the pain with a simple corrective device. Recently I had a indescribable pain in my teeth and Dr. Alvarez was able to pinpoint it immediately without unnecessarily drilling into my teeth or blindly providing antibiotics … turned out it was nerve pain from a neck injury and with physical therapy the teeth pain went away. I highly recommend Bloomfield Dental!

Dr. Alvarez and his staff are very patient in explaining all aspects of your needed dental care. He reviews all available options and readily explains the pros and cons (if any) of each therapy. He is sensitive to the level of pain tolerance for each individual. As well as the challenges of convenient scheduling. His practice came highly recommended to me by several persons that I trust implicitly. I’m glad to call him ‘My Dentist’. I readily travel over 70 miles for this level of excellence in dentistry. You will too!

Bloomfield Dental Design is the best well-kept secret this City has had for many years. I am lucky to have recently discovered this practice. Dr. Boris Alvarez is the consummate professional. He made it very easy for me to understand his plans. Moreover and probably the most important, his charges and fees is very competitive. Complimenting, Dr. Alvarez skill and talent in this field is his Front Office. The ladies are very courteous, kind and very accommodating. Kudos to all, I always felt at home.

From setting up appointment, registration and check up process, all staff and doctor you met were wonderful, professional and dedicated people. Dr. Alvarez is super gentle and caring. This surpasses all dentist experiences I have ever had. He truly listens to my concerns and explains everything in detail. The staff is phenomenal. More than that, everyone was making sure I was comfortable during my visit. I like my hygienist, Bibi, very much. She is very thorough, efficient, kind, caring, thoughtful and encouraging.

Awesome first time experience. Office was very clean and modern. Receptionist was very helpful in processing the paperwork. The dental Hygienist made me feel very comfortable and explained everything thoroughly which is great because I am not a huge fan of the dentist. Very gentle but thorough cleaning. Dr. Alvarez was great, explained everything and carefully checked each tooth after the cleaning to make sure there were no problems. Would highly recommend Bloomfield Dental Designs

The receptionist was very nice and professional. the waiting area was very clean and contemporary with a small flat screen TV in the corner. The lobby couches are very comfortable. The staff was very knowledgeable. They made me and my husband feel very comfortable. They even offered to play some Netflix while I waited in the doctor’s chair. The cleaning was very good. I didn’t feel judged or uncomfortable

I need a lot of work done and we started it today. I left without looking in a mirror and when I got to my car I was so happy I had to call them and let them know how great it looks so far. They are really reasonable, price-wise. The office staff is really nice. I waited maybe 10 minutes both times I’ve been there. I’m really grateful I found an awesome dentist. Yay!

I have been going to this dentist office for the last few years and I absolutely love it. Dr Alvarez and the entire staff are very prompt, professional and caring. I love that any concerns I have they are willing to address it write away. I have recommended their office to friends and family and now they see Dr Alvarez too and are just as pleased.

Dr Alvarez is the best dentist I have dealt with and I have dealt with many. The others don’t even come close to Dr Alvarez’s bedside manner , caring and willingness to listen to your concerns. He does a great job and is very gentle ! I do recommend patients to come to his office . The office staff is also excellent and very professional and courteous. I’m glad I finally found a great dentist !!! ❤️

The moment I walked in the office it was an amazing experience. All staff were all wonderful, helpful and professional throughout my visit. Office space is extremely clean, comfortable and bib was very knowledgeable warm hearted and gentle throughout my cleaning. Dr Alvarez I can say is the best dentist I’ve been to, very upfront and has informed me of different options we can touch base on, also first dentist that actually took the time to ask me what I wanted and how I feel; and actually cares about my long term smile goal. I would strongly recommend him.

Very enjoyable visiting Dr. Boris Alvarez. As one who has never been fond of having to go to any dentist I am glad to say that I will not hesitate to return again. The staff are top notch and put one at ease with their warm and friendly service. Excellent dental hygienist, very professional, thank you ! Overall an excellent value and good experience.

I had an old filling (not from here) come loose and fall out while visiting in the area recently.  I needed a new one immediately, so I called Bloomfield Dental Designs and they were able to get me in quickly for an appointment.  The staff was wonderful and nice, and the procedure was painless.  I’m very happy with my new filling.  Great work!

I had an amazing experience at Bloomfield Dental Designs. I am typically very tense when I am at the dentist. The front desk receptionists were attentive and professional. My dental hygienist, Bibi, had excellent bedside manner. She did a thorough job on my cleaning and gave me excellent feedback on how to maintain the health of my teeth. Dr. Alvarez was extremely friendly, gracious and thorough in his examination and next steps. I am glad to have found a dental office in my neighborhood that is so wonderful. Besides the wonderful staff, the office is really beautiful and well kept. I will be returning to this practice.

This is by far the best dentist I have ever been to. Dr. Alvarez and his staff are so polite and friendly. My 9yr old daughter will not let anyone else touch her mouth lol. Lorena, at the front desk is on the ball and goes above and beyond to help the patients. During this crazy pandemic I have been in the office twice and my daughter once, they are extremely clean (which is normal for this office) and abiding by all safety regulations. I would recommend this office to anyone looking.

The best one I’ve been too so far!! The environment is welcoming, clean, and friendly! The receptionist are excellent in their job and 100 customer service, the doctor Is awesome and you can tell he cares about his patients and wants what’s best for them!! He makes sure you understand what his going to do and why it’s important for you, the lady hygienist she was sweet and caring and she didn’t make me feel uncomfortable!! It’s worth your money!! I will say cheap too because the service their giving me is the same service I got 4 yrs ago from a dental in OK and that dental cheat me out of my insurance!! I had to pay out of pocket so it’s like $2,000 plus my insurance payment!! Smh!! I really appreciate and am so glad my family and I chose this dental!! Honest people and doctor!! So I strongly recommend this place!! Come and check it out!!

After visiting and seeing several Dental Clinics in my lifetime both here in the U.S. and abroad I am lucky to have known Dr. Alvarez who did an amazing transformation of my dental health. I am extremely thankful and grateful to have met Dr. Boris. I will recommend his clinic and his practice to anyone and I will guarantee that the outcome will exceed anyone’s expectation.

I haven’t been to the dentist in a while and was really looking for a place that had great feedback and was easy to get to. I stumbled on this place here on my insurance recommendation list and decided to go on Yelp to see the reviews. Being that it had great reviews and was really close to my house, I set up an appointment. When I stepped into the office, the receptionists were so nice and welcoming. Since it was my first time, I had to fill out an online application. That didn’t take long and as soon as I was done, I was called to the back where my teeth cleaning would begin. My hygienist, Vivi, was the absolute best. Not only did she talk to me but she told me things about my teeth that I didn’t know. She was so nice and accommodating. Next, Melissa came in and took x-rays of my teeth. We discussed Invisalign and braces; what worked best for her and what made her want to go through the process. At the end, Dr. Alvarez came and gave a conclusion as to what I can do in regards to my teeth. Overall I had such an great experience that I told my cousin and friend who are now patients.

I hate the dentist… I came across this office one day when I was having pain in one of my root canal-ed teeth. They fit me in right away and took really good care of me while I had a re-root canal. I also cracked a filling not too long after this and they, again, fit me in right away. Going to this office is pleasant from the minute you step in the door. Mariana, the girl at the front desk, is great and so helpful. I’ve had a cleaning with them too and they found quite a few cavities that my previous dentist said nothing about. Just six months ago she said no cavities but Dr. Alvarez showed me all of them on xrays. They’re working with me and my insurance to get all the cavities taken care of as well. I think it’s really important to say that I have no threshold for pain. I feel it all. Dr. Alvarez takes his time to make sure that I don’t feel any pain and sometimes that can take quite a few shots and some serious waiting time but he’s super patient with me and my sensitive teeth. They really are great in this office! I just wish there was parking… but I wouldn’t trade their location and convenience for me personally (because i live 5 minutes away) for parking.

Today was my first appointment with Dr. Alvarez and I will definitely be back. I’m a big baby when it comes to the dentist and everyone there made me feel so calm. The office was clean and welcoming. The hygienist was very sweet. The receptionist was helpful and very friendly. Dr Alvarez was amazing. He was patient with all my questions and explained everything to me so I could understand it. I’m so happy that I found my new dentist. Thank you!!!

I had another dental appointment and again it was the best experience ever. Dr Alvarez is a wonderful doctor, the staff is professional and warm, the offices are impeccable and there is never a delay. The positive attributes are countless. Although my cleaning appointment occurred about a month ago I could not let the opportunity slip by to write this review at the first opportunity. It is with much sadness that we have just moved out of NJ and will probably not be using his services any longer. Although, my husband and I agree that he would be worth the trip!

Bloomfield Dental Designs has an extremely friendly staff who takes time to actually get to know their patients, in addition to provide excellent dental care. Each time I have been to their office I leave satisfied and feel as if my dental health is in great hands. I wish them a lot of continued success in the future and will definitely stay as a patient.

Love love love. I originally went to Dr Alvarez because I had an infection and I needed an emergency appt. His office was available. He and his amazing team have taken such great care of my teeth. I feel welcome as soon as I walk in. They’ve saved two teeth that would otherwise have had to be removed. The wait is a bit long BUT you don’t feel rushed when you go in. The whole team makes you feel like you’re their only patient. They are personable, knowledgeable, and professional.

I honestly love this place they are so excellent clean nice quick and gets the job done and they don’t try to get you for money like other places I would recommend them to anyone I Have recently started going to them and I fell in love with how they treat my teeth they are super excellent I just recently took my daughter here yesterday and she’s very scared of the dentist she was so excited to come back and tell me how they treated her good And how they didn’t Hurt her excellent place they need 1000 stars

I have lived in various states and visited many dental offices but none with the care or attention to detail as this office has. From the moment you walk in you are greeted and made felt right at home. Dr. Alvarez is amazing and has actually made coming to the dentist enjoyable. The office staff is phenomenal as well, always going the extra mile to help you out. I fully recommend this place for everyone.
