Fantastic experience: I never have to wait long. All staff is professional and courteous. Procedures are always explained and done in a timely manner. I have been a patient for several years and am Very comfortable going here even though nobody likes to Actually go to the dentist. .
Negative experience: As a parent, it breaks my heart to write this, but I feel a responsibility to share what happened so other families are aware and can advocate fiercely for their children — because that’s what they deserve. We’ve been coming to this dental office for years. We’ve never had an issue with the care itself, but billing has occasionally been frustrating. That said, nothing could have prepared me for what happened at our most recent appointment. At the beginning of June, my 6-year-old son began complaining of tooth pain, and I noticed visible decay. I immediately called to schedule an appointment. The earliest they could see us was nearly a month out — we took the date we could get. When I booked, I very clearly stated that we did not want sedation this time. My son has had sedation in the past (almost a year ago) and found the experience more traumatic than helpful. He was adamant about not doing it again, and frankly, we saw no benefit from it the last time. I was very specific on the phone: no sedation, and no need to schedule with the doctor who only works with sedated kids. Fast forward to the appointment — we arrive on time and the receptionist reminds me that we were supposed to come 45 minutes early if we wanted sedation. I told her (again) we did not want sedation. She acknowledged it, smiled, and said everything was fine. We waited and were called back. Once in the room, I explained that my son had been in pain and the cavity likely reached the nerve. The dentist responded, “Well, I don’t work on kids who aren’t sedated. You’d have to see someone else for that.” I was shocked. I reminded him — calmly — that I specifically requested no sedation when making the appointment and had confirmed again that morning. I asked why we were only now being told that he wouldn’t perform the procedure. He questioned when he last saw my son (as if I was lying), and asked his assistant to look it up. She confirmed it had been nearly a year. I explained, again, that we were not doing sedation and that we were already there, ready to get the work done. My son was in the chair, and I was prepared to hold his hand through any discomfort. We weren’t leaving. The dentist didn’t even respond. He left the room. A couple minutes later, he came back, didn’t acknowledge me, and spoke directly to my son: “Well, we’ll give this a try.” Then he began the work. Let me be very clear: The entire procedure took 5 minutes. My son didn’t flinch. He didn’t cry. He didn’t need sedation. He felt nothing. And he walked out of that office proud and empowered that he had “been a big boy.” That was nearly taken from him — and us — because a dentist was so set on sedation that he nearly refused treatment altogether. I don’t know if it was about control, comfort, or extra billing, but it was not in my son’s best interest, and that is unacceptable. Parents, please advocate for your children. Even when you're being dismissed. Even when you're being doubted. You know your child better than anyone. Medical professionals are human — and some see dollar signs before they see people. This was a deeply disappointing experience, and while I appreciate the care that was eventually given, I will not be returning.
Fantastic experience: We just moved to Erie PA and I needed dental work. Everyone at Plaza Dental are so nice and friendly. Dr. Rodgers is wonderful. He's kind and gentle. His assistant, Oksana is so sweet and nice too. We are very happy with the service here. Today I needed an urgent appointment due to pain. I knew the tooth needed to be pulled. Dr. Myers fit me in and extracted the tooth so fast I didn't realize he was done. He and assistant Natasha were also so nice. I just want to add that Dr. Rodgers is a very good dentist. The staff and doctors and assistants are all so nice at Plaza Dental.
Fantastic experience: Check In was quick and Appointment was on time. Staff was good and efficient
Fantastic experience: Dr. Schuster is irreplaceable! Going to be hard finding a new dentist with as much integrity! He deserves a wonderful retirement!
Fantastic experience: The staff is very professional and compassionate towards their patients individual needs. They are clear in their care instructions and open to squeezing in patients that have emergency situations.
Fantastic experience: Everyone that works at Plaza Dental is always pleasant and helpful. Dr Wilcko and Molly were so kind to remember to offer condolences for my brother who passed and was their patient. I can’t forget about my favorite dentist, Dr Schuster! He has been so wonderful to my family for many years and we will miss him. He deserves to retire and focus on his family and himself! We will miss him when he retires but we know we will still receive great care at Plaza Dental. Thanks Dr Schuster for taking such good care of us! Ed and Chris
Fantastic experience: Very thorough and informative. Did an excellent job. There was a time where she didn't like a small part of the filling process so she redid that part. Took her time to do it right. Felt no pain throughout the procedure. Very happy with her "bedside" manner. Thanks to the staff.
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about this dental office. I came in with a lot of anxiety, especially about getting fillings on my front teeth, but the entire team went above and beyond to make me feel calm, heard, and safe. The dentist was incredibly gentle, explained every step clearly, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. My front fillings look amazing , completely natural, and I left feeling so relieved and even a little proud for getting through it. This experience truly changed how I feel about going to the dentist. Highly recommend, especially if you struggle with dental anxiety!
Fantastic experience: Staff is always pleasant and efficient. Very clean and modern office. Minimal wait time. Dr. Weber is wonderful. I have TMJ and he always lets my jaw rest during any procedures. Very kind and thoughtful dentist. I was very glad to find out that he won’t be retiring until the end of NEXT year
Fantastic experience: Dr Rodger, Oxanna, and Kat make a great team. Everything that was / going to be done was explained really well. I was really please with how the multi-step process went. I suffered no pain. Thank you all!
Fantastic experience: Never had a better experience at a dentist office than I have had there. Everyone is friendly and puts any fears you may have at ease. Dr. Myers is who I've been dealing with and has been very patient with me answering any questions I have had. Love this place and would highly recommend. His two assistants, Emma and Holly have been awesome with the adjustments I've needed with my new dentures. The whole experience has been very pleasant.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff yet also very professional. Got me on and out without a wait and set me up moving forward. Ashley and Amanda are top notch
Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful experience with Dr Deluca. She explained everything so well to me and made me feel so comfortable.
Fantastic experience: The entire staff at Plaza Dental are courteous, friendly and professional. They all seem to enjoy what they do! Dr Wilcko is so kind and caring. He is very nonjudgmental in caring for our son with Developmental Disabilities who does not maintain the best oral hygiene. Molly is an exceptional hygienist who has cared for Andy for many years since starting with the practice. Andy is seen every three months to be proactive with his oral hygiene. I have highly recommended this practice to others! Patty Johnson

Fantastic experience: Everyone from the staff at the front reception desk, to the technicians and dentist, was professional, thorough and kind.

Fantastic experience: There is no finer dentist than Dr. James S. Schuster. A+. He did a three-peat yesteerday: 3 root canals without one second of pain.

Fantastic experience: I have been a long time patient at Plaza Dental for just under 40 years and there aren't enough positive things for me to say in this short message but without question every experience I’ve had over the years has been positive – the office and staff have always been professional and courteous — I’ve been a patient of Dr Schusters throughout the years and to say he is amazing isn’t quite meaningful enough – he is the best! Many thanks to him and to his assistant Sara for taking exceptional care of me with my most recent procedure – Lastly congratulations and best wishes to Dr. Schuster for his up and coming retirement – He will be missed — Sincerely Joe Bondi
Fantastic experience: The staff, Dr. Myers and his assistant took great care of me yesterday. I appreciate being seen and I appreciate being listened to.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and informative Very good nurses and doctors really liked the whole thing
Fantastic experience: Plaza Dental would be 10★'s if #Google allowed it. They are a family practice and have been helping to treat my family and I for over 18 years, l'chaim. I've had my 2 front teeth going strong for that long through a special friends & family discount, likely saving me at least 30k. My family means everything to me and my smile only shines with my regular check up from Dr. Schuster. My 5 year mission work included a brush with death, so we weren't connecting much. Due to some metastatic issues, I can only remember our last call involving some mouthwash. Like me, Dr. Schuster is both sensitive and gentle in professional practice. Both of us wouldn't hurt a fly with an air/water squirt gun . Being illegally framed, both literally and figuratively for righteous whistleblowing has been harder than pulling teeth. Plaza Dental is the kind of establishment in which you just know LLC E O, Goød will takeover when Dr. Schuster eventually retires. Family comes first, you know the drill...James 1:2-3: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face TRIALS of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance."
Fantastic experience: Very caring staff. Took time explaining things to me and not rushing. Definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Always friendly, personable staff from the front desk, hygienist, assistants, and to the awesome dentist!
Fantastic experience: Can't say enough positive comments about the staff and dentists. They are the best in town.
Positive experience: First, the Dr's are great. 5 Stars as far as Dr's go and work done. They make sure you're comfortable and numb for any work. 1 star for wait times. Appointment is at X time? Expect to wait an additional 20-30+mins before you're called back.
Fantastic experience: Dr Wilco is very Caring and efficient. Great follow up, all of the staff is amazing.
Negative experience: First, get mail in my name with my husband's procedure cost. Second, he gets sent to him for mine and my son's. Third, you have people pay after their appointment without billing the insurance first. Which I know for my son's sealants my total cost should be 40 from what the insurance sent me. We owed 13 between my son and I. 53 dollars plus whatever I would pay for the cavity which I highly doubt would be $127. Does this mean any overpayment would be sent to my husband and not me who paid it? The dentist I have no issues with but billing I do. Thus why the low score.
Fantastic experience: I had a situation with a tooth and my usual dentist at plaza dental was booked up that day. They scheduled me with Dr DeLuca and she and her hygienist made me feel very comfortable, explained everything they were doing and made me sure I wasn’t in any pain. It made a sometimes unpleasant experience pleasant. Everyone that works there is always very nice and accommodating
Fantastic experience: I want to thank Plaza Dental effectively pinpointing the problem with my tooth that was causing me pain and discomfort. I appreciate you and want to thank them for getting me in as soon as possible making me feel at ease during the process of my tooth capping procedure for crown. Thanks Again Plaza Dental
Fantastic experience: Cathy is always very pleasant and does a great job cleaning my teeth
Positive experience: Love our new dentist makes you feel relaxed and is so pleasant wished we would have gone to him long time ago !my only suggestion is you guys could use a new dental chair in the first floor examining room it’s not very comfortable can’t do stairs yet getting over a broken ankle !
Fantastic experience: All the staff from receptionist, to check out, to hygienist’s and dentist are friendly and welcoming. Nice office. Wait time for next appointment is pretty long.
Fantastic experience: Best in Erie Pa. by far ******* Dr Adam Myers is top notch and knows what he's doing. He can do what any other Los Angeles, or NYU can do, (I previously lived in both cities ) and better service, too. He has a great personality, kind and efficient. Also the Hygienist Jacob is so good, professional, and informational. He's in demand!
Fantastic experience: My only complaint is that it is so hard to get in. At my annual cleaning it was discovered chemo did. Number on my teeth, resulting necessary teeth extractions. Dr Meyer’s did a fantastic job other than the Novocain I felt nothing but a little bit of pressure.
Fantastic experience: I dreaded going to my appt. It has been many years since the last time I saw a dentist. From the moment I walked in the door, I was immediately put at ease. Everyone was very friendly and seemed like I already knew them. Great experience!!! I am looking forward to getting the work done that I need to regain my smile. I have since recommended this practice to my grown children.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Cusati and Ashley are great. Put me instantly at ease. Receptionists were so friendly and willing to take time to answer my questions. Looking forward to continuing with Plaza Dental.
Fantastic experience: Always a pleasant dental experience. Jacob was very professional, polite and kind
Fantastic experience: The staff is amazing , friendly and very helpful. It was the best experience I've had with a dentist, my son, the simple fact of hearing the word dentist gives him anxiety, the dental assistants were phenomenal, they helped him calm down and that his experience was not traumatic, one hundred percent recommended.
Fantastic experience: Great Dental practice. Highly professional and very friendly. Look no further! :-) Update - May 2025: My hygienist Theresa is wonderful and Amanda Cusati, DMD is awesome! They both make a trip to the Dentist an enjoyable experience!

Fantastic experience: Brought my daughter for bi annual check up. Wait time to be seen was minimal. Hygienist was professional and courteous. Office was clean and neat. Check out counter was very nice.
Negative experience: I had called prior to my visit asking if they carried my insurance and they said yes. Then made the appointment months out, and filled out all the paperwork and the day before my appointment they informed me they did not take my insurance. Then I feel they added on a bunch of extra work that was not necessary.
Fantastic experience: Called due to an immediate concern my dentist, Dr Cusati was on a much needed vacation with her family, but Dr Walter’s was able to accommodate an emergency appointment for me the same day. He was excellent, very nice, and did a great job fixing me up. I am very pleased with all services they have provided to myself and my family over the years. Excellent care and staff!
Fantastic experience: First class service and professionals. Dr. Wilcko and his team came highly recommended in our area. Look no further , this is the best in Erie.

She does an amazing job when cleaning your teeth and works well with the dentist also. The establishment is well organized, The staff in the office run a tight ship. They contact you or send reminders which is awesome. Always on schedule which is terrific because they work as a team. I had to get tooth removed and Doctor Walters and Dr. Myers were awesome.
