  I've been coming here for as long as I can remember, and the care has always been outstanding. The staff (especially Ann at the front desk) is friendly, professional, and genuinely cares about their patients. Appointments are always pleasant, and I trust this team completely. Highly recommend!

  When I was a child, I had to be sedated in order to even get into the car to GO to the dentist's office, and every visit was a white-knuckled horror in my eyes.   If Dr. Selcher had been my dentist then, my experience would have been completely different - I have never once had a painful or uncomfortable experience under his care.  I've been his patient for over 30 years, and really look forward to my visits with him and his wonderful staff (I actually fell asleep once DURING a root canal performed by Dr. Selcher!).   Even when we moved an hour away, we'd go back to Middletown to see him.  My children were raised with regular visits to his office, and always looked forward to visits with him, too (they'd even come with me to my visits so they could see everyone). I have recommended Dr. Selcher to many people; I truly believe there is no higher standard of up-to-date professional, compassionate, accomplished dental care anywhere.
