Steven E Baskin, DDS

Dr Baskin has been our family dentist for 20+ years. He is extremely knowledgeable and dedicated. We've had nothing but positive experiences with him and his wonderful staff. I've recommended him to friends who also feel the same way. Dr Baskin truly cares about me as a patient and as an individual, his office and professionalism is second to none.

Love Dr. Baskin! I bring my whole family. He's a great dentist and runs a very professional operation. Great with my kids. Staff is also very nice. Prices are reasonable and he takes most insurance plans. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

I've had such wonderful experiences at Dr. Baskin's dental office over the years. Dr. Baskin is patient, gentle and kind. The office is also very clean. I would definitely recommend him to everyone.

Edit Update 5.15.21: Still no cavities after routine checks every 6 mos with my current dentist. Quick reminder that Dr Baskin informed me I had EIGHT cavities that needed filling. My current dentist was very concerned that he had recommended this and had told me how thankful I should be that I didn't follow his advice. Initial review: I am from out of state so this was my first time seeing Dr Baskin. I go to the dentist routinely every 6 months. My appt was at 10 and I was taken back at 10:15 - after the doctor and front desk woman discussed billing issues for 15 minutes. After my X-rays, I sat in the room for another 15 minutes until a man came into the room. He didn't introduce himself, just briefly said hello and immediately began poking at my teeth. He didn't say a word to me the entire cleaning. Once he was finished, he turned his back to me and began writing as I sat there in silence for 3-4 minutes. Finally, he turns and states that I have "eight cavities." I am shocked because I haven't had a cavity since I was a child and every time I see the dentist they are impressed by my teeth. I ask this man, who I've determined must be the dentist, how that would be possible? He turns to me and says, verbatim: "I am the doctor. You are the patient." Attempting to assert some dominance over the situation versus educating me. I asked him a couple other questions such as if it were ok to wait on filling the cavities mainly because I don't trust him at this point and would rather see my dentist from out of state to verify these "findings" and he continued to give me wishy-washy answers back to all of my questions. At this point, even if I have the cavities verified by a trusted dentist, I could never let Dr Baskin be the one who fills them, due to my lack of trust, his lack of bedside manner and the overall lack in patient education. At the end of the appointment I asked if I could get a new toothbrush- something I have received at literally every dentist appointment I have ever been to- and he reluctantly sighed and gave me a toothbrush and exclaimed "Just because you asked I'll give you one." All in all it was an incredibly strange experience. I will be seeing my dentist from back home in a few months and I will update this and ensure to let everyone know how many cavities my other dentist says I have- if any. I have high suspicions that Dr Baskin hoped to make more money off of me, and I will gladly update this review if he happened to be correct, and more likely, verify that he was incorrect after my next dental appointment.

Competent, caring, and fair pricing. No up-sell or scare tactics. Been on Central Avenue in Jersey City for over 20 years. He's a nice man, and a great dentist. I feel fortunate to have found him.

If I can move Dr. Baskin and his crew of workers with me. I totally would for me and my entire family. Best dentist thus far for about 23 years for me.

I would love to make an appointment at the office if they would return my voice messages and not put me on interminable hold every time I call to do so.

Dr. Baskin and his staff are excellent. Highly recommend!
