PATIENT REVIEWS

I had to change my dentist from south side because they never even answered my call and I have to say Michael Cushman’s office is the best dental experience I’ve had. I went in got a cleaning, the process was very simple, and Mr. Cushman himself is a really great dentist to talk about your oral Health with. Upon my great experience I even received a free coffee mug and dentistry products

I work regular 9-5 hours during the week and the office was able to get me in in under 3 weeks from scheduling to appointment with my preferred time. My appointment started on time and the office staff, Nicole and Renee, were very friendly and we had good conversation throughout the visit. Dr. Cushman fixed a problem tooth that had been bothering me for a while and did a thorough check for cavities. Happy with the experience and will continue dental care at Smile Studio.

I have visited Dr. Cushman’s place for 4 times. The most recently one happened today. My toothache kept me from sleeping throughout last night. I called the office early in the morning at 7:30AM. Surprisingly someone answered the call. At 9AM they called me again and directly scheduled my treatment on the same day for my convenience. Just got back from there, luckily I can sleep tonight. Dr. Cushman and his colleagues are all very kind, patient and nice. You do need to pay a little more comparing to public services. However, it is definitely worth it.

While I wouldn’t say having a root canal is necessarily fun, Dr Cushman makes the whole experience a lot easier on you. He is very good at translating your muffled words into intelligible sentences, and willing to talk you through the process. He is an artist when it comes to teeth. During my cavity removal, he stripped back the tooth layer by layer to determine how far the decay went to determine whether the root needed treatment, and was extremely thorough at digging out and shaping the root channels. There was very little pain during the process, even the numbing agent wasn’t that bad. The resultant crown took another two visits. One to shape and measure the remaining tooth. One to fit and mount, the customed order to the mouth. He also realigned the bite. I have a better bite than I did with the natural tooth now. Prices are unfortunately steep, but considering the cost of dental care without insurance is high, it wasn’t surprising. However the cost of the initial visit and x-rays was rolled into the cost of the original cavity removal, which was then rolled into the cost of the necessary root canal, so I was never charged extra for the prior services. They even discounted a second cavity filling after I opted for a crown, because he was more concerned about me getting it fixed, before it got as bad as the tooth he just worked on, than he was about getting another $150 at a later visit. They accept Care Credit.

One of the bests Pittsburgh has to offer. I highly recommend this dentist. When I got veneers Dr. Cushman was my doctor. And I was traumatized because the million-dollar, natural smile that I had cultivated was gone. Dr. Cushman made me feel truly at ease and re-created my smile perfectly. After years the dental work has held up well and this new smile looks the original. Every cleaning is always pleasant and my overall dental health and knowledge increases as well because the hygienists and Dr. Cushman gladly answer any questions. The staff is friendly is warm and inviting.

I can’t recommend Dr Cushman & his office enough — I started seeing him in 2011 for an abscessed tooth and have been seeing him regularly for both routine and reconstructive work.  He is unfailingly skilled, patient, gentle, and friendly; if you have emergency tooth pain, his staff will do their best (and have always succeeded in my case) to fit you in on the same day in order to alleviate it.  He and his staff are also very knowledgeable & patient-friendly; they will always explain a procedure before they perform it, and answer any questions you may have.  That extends to the admin staff as well; Nicole at the front desk will always let you know how much a procedure will cost, how much your insurance will cover, etc before you schedule an appointment, and will assist with payment options afterward.  I recommend Dr Cushman & his office to everyone I know.

the place is top notch for dental work of all kinds. The satff at the front desk are on top of the insurance changes, prompt with reminders about your appoitment and always smiling. They also work with you on paying for your exams if you were hit with a crown payment or root canal out of the blue. So glad I found this place 5 years ago that i even referred my wife and work colleague’s without worry. Keep up the great work Dr Cushman and staff.

Prompt, efficient, and competent–highly recommend. My college student needed to be seen quickly for a broken baby tooth, and Dr Cushman provided quick, excellence service. We needed x-rays e-mailed to a different provider and they were done on the spot. Every time we called the office for an inquiry or request, the person answering the phone was pleasant and helpful.

Dr. Cushman is both a great dentist and a nice guy. I wanted to get ceramic veneers, so I made appointments with several dentists in the area. I found Dr. Cushman had the best eye for detail and was the most knowledgeable about the whole process. If this is something you are considering, be sure you trust your dentist! Dr. Cushman has been helpful throughout the processes, including taking molds, sculpting the teeth, bonding the veneers, and then following up afterwards. The one issue I did have (crack in one veneer, due to extenuating circumstances), Dr. Cushman addressed right away, and did so free of charge. I feel lucky to have chosen Dr. Cushman. I have now had the veneers for several months–and I couldn’t be happier.

The best dental experience I have had in Pittsburgh. Dr. Cushman and his entire staff are fantastic. They are courteous and accommodating professional. Most importantly, his quality of work has been unrivaled, and the wait time is very short. The office also is very clean. Scheduling is simple and can be done at your visit, and they offer an emergency visit when needed. Definitely happy to have them my dentist, and I highly recommend him.

I neglected going to the dentist for a long time, to the point where I needed a root canal and a ceramic crown on a molar. Dr. Cushman was able to get me into his office on that day in order to help. I must say that the reason I neglected going to the dentist for so long was because I wasn’t too thrilled about going to the dentist in the first place. Dr. Cushman and his staff are extremely caring folks. They never made me feel like I was a bad person for not going to the dentist. They simply acknowledged that work needed to be done and got right to it without the lecture that I was expecting. Dr. Cushman is constantly aware of the patient’s needs, and is always checking in with you to make sure you are comfortable. I’ve heard horror stories about how bad a root canal can be, and I honestly don’t know what people are talking about. It was a near pain free experience, and went very smoothly. After the root canal, I had the crown. This consisted of taking a mold of the tooth, and crafting a new one from ceramic. Dr. Cushman’s work is excellent. I couldn’t be happier that I chose Dr. Cushman. His dental hygenist Sherri and his dental assistant Rachel were superior, and very personable people. His front desk person Nicole is as nice as can be. I highly recommend Dr. Cushman and his staff.

I’ve been had Dr Cushman during my college (2016-2018) and he’s always v caring and thorough w my dental checking. I’ve had my root canal done in late 2017 – it was successful and great ever since. Really appreciate for his help over time and would highly recommend his office to all nearby residents!

I had never been to Dr. Cushman before but was unable to see my dentist and I called his office very early in extreme pain. They weren’t open yet but I was redirected to what seemed like his home, where a lovely woman took my information and I was contacted as soon as the office opened. They squeezed me in and were extremely kind and helpful as I am terrified of the dentist. I was very impressed with this kind of service and for someone who I have never even seen before. I plan on making Dr. Cushman my dentist for my future dental work, he’s awesome.

Dr. Cushman is great! I had to get a cavity filling fixed and I was very nervous. I told Dr. Cushman about my nervousness and he was very understanding! He used extra precaution when numbing me for the procedure and talked to me to keep me calm. He made me feel very comfortable! I highly recommend that others who dread going to the dentist see Dr.Cushman!

This is a wonderful, caring dentistry office.  I was visiting from out of town and had a dental emergency;  my husband tried calling several other places closer to our hotel, but none of them wanted to be bothered seeing me, even though we have excellent insurance.  Finally, my husband called Dr. Cushman’s office.  From the very beginning, Dr. Cushman and his staff made it clear that they cared.  The people in his office are kind and responsive.   And Dr. Cushman himself is easy to talk to;  it is clear that he is highly experienced and skilled, and he also knows how to speak to patients as if they’re intelligent.  There is nothing condescending about him.  I left feeling as if I had been taken care of by someone who really had my best interests at heart–even though we just met.   We were so lucky to find him.  If I didn’t live 3000 miles away, he would be my regular dentist!!!

I cannot say enough nice things about Dr. Cushman and his staff in Oakland. I found him through a basic Google search after deciding I no longer wanted to go to my hometown for dentist appointments; it was the luckiest Googling of all time. He’s like a wizard. I had a scorching headache for A YEAR STRAIGHT from grinding my teeth, and not only was he able to explain to me why it was happening, but he was able to find a way to correct my grinding problem. No more headaches, which for me is reason alone to throw the man a parade. The staff are open, friendly, and professional. I always felt like my previous dentist just wanted to make money from me, and I never feel that way now. I’m never asked to move up my appointments, and they have been great at getting me in and out of the office, even when I’ve been running late. If you’re looking for a dentist in Pittsburgh, truly, look no further.

Dr. Cushman and his staff are simply amazing! I no longer mind going to the dentist. I agree with the previous review that calls Dr. Cushman a wizard. He is incredibly intelligent. I had been complaining for the past 3 years to my previous dentist that I had some pain under a cap. On my first visit to Dr. Cushman, he looked into the problem (turns out I needed a root canal).  With the problem fixed and I no longer have any pain. Working at Presby/Montefiore Hospital, he is just a few blocks away. It is easy to make time to go to his office during the day to get to my general annual cleaning. His office staff schedules just the right number of patients so there is never a wait. He is very accomodating and easy to get a hold of on the phone or via email. I can’t say enough good things about this dentist. I recommend all my family, friends and co-workers to go to him.

Dr. Cushman found a problem with my jaw that other dentists never noticed or cared about, and referred me to a great orthodontist. The fix took several years and was quite costly, but the important thing is that he noticed the problem and referred me to people who eventually managed to fix it. Eternally grateful.

I have been seeing Dr Cushman and his staff for over 10 years, for routine cleanings and more complicated procedures following a car accident. All services are of the highest quality. Most importantly, Dr Cushman is gentle, kind and patient. I recommend this office to everybody looking for a dentist including children.
