Great experience and great people.The whole staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Sorkin does a great job of explaining everything if you need any work done.If you want preventive care using cutting edge technology this is place to go.

I have been amazed by the level of care given to me by Dr. Sorkin and Andrew. I went in for small fillings and they explained that they would be able to use a new procedure called "air brushing" that would be able to completed drill-free as well as in a fraction of the time. Because of the position of the filling, I also did not have to have any anesthesia/numbing agent applied! Truly amazing.In addition to this, I truly appreciated being provided with eye protection during my time under the lights. Dental lighting can often be intense and having eye protection was a really nice touch.Lastly, I was delighted by how proactive the front desk staff have been with scheduling and following up with appointments. I also really appreciate the welcome and warm atmosphere.

Very pleasant and professional. I hadn't been to the dentist in a very long time and had a lot of negative expectations. During the painless and thorough high tech exam, Dr. Sorkin and his staff made me feel very comfortable.Note: I have now had several more appointments and their warmth and expertise are a joy to experience. Very relaxed and low stress.My rating is 5 stars out of 5. But I'd give it 100 out of 100 if I could!

Couldn’t recommend more! For years I had been avoiding the dentist out of fear, And the health of my mouth suffered. Knowing things would only get worse and I mustered up the courage to finally make an appointment, and I am so happy I made my appointment with caring dental of Spotwood! Every single person in this office was extremely caring, understanding, gentle, and professional. They listened to my concerns and put my mind at ease with their knowledge and compassionate work. I have never felt more comfortable in a dentist chair! Everyone on the staff is just so incredibly nice and they now feel like family! I highly recommend this practice for everyone - especially those that dread the dentist office as much as I did in the past!

Dr. Sorkin and the employees of Caring Dental in Spotswood are phenomenal! I could not believe I could have an old crown removed and a new permanent crown cemented in place in 1 visit, in just a little over 2 hours, with no pain at all when the numbness wore off. Thank you!

My husband and I had a dental emergency while traveling in the area and Dr. Sorkin was able to get us in immediately. The entire office staff was so friendly and accommodating and Dr. Sorkin was amazing! So thankful they were able to see us so quickly so that we could continue with our vacation. I would highly recommend Caring Dental of Spotswood!

I am updating my review of Caring Dental (on June 3rd 2022) because Google doesn't allow multiple reviews of the same business. I have had additional interactions with caring dental since my initial review, and they just keep getting better. It seems like many services I encounter are becoming less reliable, but Caring Dental is getting BETTER!!!! This includes hygienists Diane - who is thorough but gentle with cleanings and treats patients with respect and tremendous care - and Andrew - who is clearly very skilled and works so well with Dr. Sorkin. The office personnel is amazing... Gail and Chioma are super nice and professional and are tremendous with helping navigate insurance and payment matters. And of course there is the man behind the greatness... Dr. Sorkin. Dr. Sorkin explains everything he is going to do, is doing, and has done in a way that is comforting and conveys all you need to know to understand the process. He even followed up with me personally a few hours after a procedure. All of this would be enough for a top review... But on top of all this, he has a wonderful demeanor and sense of humor. Furthermore, everyone else in the office has the same overall friendly yet professional way about them. Perhaps the best way for me to describe my view of this office is that it has all of what one hopes for from a healthcare professional office... That is, all of the things I had feared had become extinct. My thanks to everyone at Caring Dental of Spotswood. You are a beacon of light in the dental community.I've encountered many dentists throughout my years, and I can say that without a doubt Dr. Sorkin is the most thorough in both his examination and explanation of what he sees and does. He instills confidence because of his clear expertise. Having moved back to Middlesex County after being away for twenty years I'd gone to a different dental office about six months ago. Not comfortable with the care I'd received there I came across the great reviews for Caring Dental, and when I had my first visit I could see right away why the reviews are so good. Dr. Sorkin and his staff are all professional, thorough, kind, and most of all highly qualified. I am so glad to have found a permanent dentist now that I've moved back!!!!!

Incredibly kind, caring and patient staff. From the moment I walked into the office, my mind was put at ease. Dr. Sorkin was gentle, compassionate and helpful at explaining everything. I was most impressed that Dr. Sorkin called me in the evening to see how I was feeling! My fear of dentists *might* be over! Highly recommended!

Record keeping here seems to be fantastic, and so they should be able to easily identify and changes in my teeth in an objective manner. Also had a cavity filled, which went as well as that process can go.

I haven't been to the dentist in decades because of dentophobia (yes, that's a real thing) but my mouth has been okay thanks to good dental hygiene. With that said, recently one of my teeth that had gotten a filling as a teenager cracked--I'm told that's not uncommon. There was no pain but I was in fear that the whole tooth would fall out of my head or, at the very least, that silver filling would detach and wind up in my belly. So, I was forced to face my fears.As with all decisions I make, I did a ton of research online. I also happen to work in healthcare so I talked to some of the industry people I know. All reviews and recommendations pointed toward one person: Dr. Matthew Sorkin. He's one of the top dentists in New Jersey, apparently, but more important to me were all the glowing reviews using words like "compassionate", "gentle" and "pain-free". I'm a big dude with a high pain threshold but when it comes to the mouth, I'm a big baby..so knowing that all dentists enjoy inflicting pain, I just wanted someone who was 'less of a sadist' than most dentists.Turns out Dr. Sorkin was not sadistic at all. He is a legitimately kind and gentle guy. He explains everything he's about to do before he does it, then when he carries out his actions he does so as gently as possible, and he takes pauses here and there to ask how you are doing. When he talks, he is soft-spoken--sometimes too soft spoken to the point where I have to ask him to repeat himself which ain't easy when you have fingers and/or dental instruments in your mouth. Point is, he's a very calming presence and a super-competent physician who is well-deserving of all the great reviews, word-of-mouth and awards. Deep down inside I feel like darkness dwells within his heart and at any moment he's about to poke me just for laughs, LOL. But seriously...I see now that any fears I had of dentists getting their kicks watching patients writhe in pain were just in my head--at least when it comes to Dr. Sorkin. There is (surprisingly) such a thing as a dentist who takes his time, is careful and pain-free and concerned more with your well-being than his next yacht payment. If you want someone who is unrushed, meticulous, compassionate, pain-free and best of all a dental wonk who knows his profession inside-out and backwards, then Dr. Sorkin is your guy.I would be remiss if I didn't mention the other facility staff who are just as important to the overall experience. Gail, the Office Manager is super-sweet and accommodating; she went above and beyond in helping me schedule, reschedule and in dealing with my insurance. Chioma at the Front Desk is a sweetheart who is beyond helpful and a great person. The Dental Assistants Andrew and Satinder are great and thankfully, working for Dr. Sorkin has erased any sadistic tendencies that drove them to dentistry in the first place. No, seriously, Andrew was there at my first visit and Satinder at my second and they are both just as accommodating, patient and gentle as Dr. Sorkin. The whole team at the office is great. I have a few more visits scheduled and I expect more great service but if they should happen to throw a net over me next time and take turns jabbing me with periodontal probes, I will definitely update this review. I know they are just itching to hear me scream! I'm kidding, of course. Dentists and office staff are not what they were in the last century. Much nicer these days. And let me talk about the technology for a minute...Wow, the tools of the trade were perhaps the biggest surprise. There were no hammers, chisels or 'dental pelicans' to be seen. These days they have pain-free drilling, high-tech electronics like mouth cams, less invasive x-rays...not only does dentistry in general have lots of newfangled tech to make things easier for doctor and patient, but Dr. Sorkin's office has every doodad you can hope for. All high-tech instruments.Okay, enough ranting. Call. Schedule. Go. Thank me later.

Really nice office and friendly staff. The dentists listened to our challenges and looked closely. They gave my kids advice and training on flossing. I’m glad we found an office we can trust.

Today I had my 1st appointment at Caring Dental of Spotswood. the Office Staff are very friendly. they put me in a office with a computer to fill out my paperwork on the computer unlike most offices when they give you a clipboard and a pen and have you sit in the waiting room filling out page after page. After that I spoke with a very nice Dental Assistant, she explained Everything to me clearly, took Xrays and photos of my mouth .No biting on Cardboard film . New equipment I have never seen before ,No discomfort at All. she took Amazing photos of every tooth. She made me feel totally comfortable. Dentist Dr.Sorkin came in and introduced himself . and I stood up and shook his hand , I think as a Man you should Always Stand when shaking another person's hand. a short while after the Dr.s Assistant was done taking photos and Xrays Dr.Sorkin looked at everyone of my teeth and went over each one and explained everything in detail. I had to tell him the music that was playing throughout the office was very good . the Entire Vibe was positive. I can't wait for my cleaning on Thursday . on a scale from 1 to 10 . this Office is off the charts at a high 17 . Highly recommend. and Thank You

This is simply the best Dental Practice anywhere !!!

Dr. Sorkin, his technicians and staff all worked every thoroughly to properly diagnose my condition that couldn't be found by another Doctor. I'm so grateful for these professionals. I'm now on the road to restoration and recovery. Everyone here treats you like family : )

Thank you my good friend Allen Friedrich for this Dental Doctor recommendation.
