Just left another great checkup with Dr Berkeypile. He’s always super thorough, taking the time to explain issues and treatment options. He practices proactive care, and only recommends care that’s necessary for my continued dental health. Thanks, Dr B!

Ive been a patient of Dr. Berkeypile for many years. He takes care to do the best work for his patients. Ive been told by another dentist that Dr. Berkeypiles work is excellent. He doesnt cut corners. He really cares for his patients. He strives for perfection so sometimes he may take longer.

I went to Jersey Smile for cleaning. Since I moved recently I needed a new dentist. Dr. Berkeypile went above and beyond in taking care of my oral health. He is very caring, knowledgable, he explains every aspects of best oral care and never misses even a little detail. He is very kind and caring. You feel privileged to be taken care of by him.

Dr. Berkeypile is thoughtful and caring with adults AND children! Im a SMALL Adult with gagging issues--no problem! Dr. Berkeypile uses a numbing spray to help calm your gagging reflex. Dr. Berkeypile gently introduced my kids to the dentist chair and they have had excellent dental care for over 20 years. Always IMPRESSED by how Dr. Berkeypile stays on top of the latest technology. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this wonderful dentist.

Aside from routine cleaning, Dr. Berkeypile recently fixed my cracked front tooth. It was cracked badly from an impact by a wrench. He assessed the damage, and we decided to go with a cap. Although it was a time consuming process, Im convinced I couldnt have gotten a better end result anywhere else. He is very tedious, and holds his work to a high standard.

UPDATE : Well, after being seriously sick for 5 days now, I suddenly found myself with severe tooth pain - think: it hurts to talk, drink water, eat, it hurts just breathing kind of sudden pain, because just being sick wasnt good enough. I called Dr Berkeypile this evening, (Friday night) thinking Id get an appointment fo next week--but to my surprise, he stayed open, waited for me, and insisted on helping me tonight so I could have a pain free weekend. I cant say it enough-- Dr Berkeypile has such a smooth kindness about him, he just exudes comfort and genuine care, explains everything in detail as he goes, and hes just so reassuring that everything can be fixed that I forget that I used to be terrified of dentists. I know it was quite late when I left there, pain free, and feel so furtunate to have him on my team! Thank you again, Dr B. 01/09/2021Dr Berkeypile is wonderful. He has a kind, practical manner, explains everything easily, and is a true artist at his craft. His work is meticulous, his color matching skills (fillings, bonding, crowns etc) are beyond conpare, and he has a gift for making a patient (even a nervous patient like me) feel comfortable. I was concerned about seeing a dentist (or going anywhere) during the pandemic, but all precautions are set in place, protocols are followed and the office is scrupulously clean and safe. I was very much at ease. He never makes me feel rushed, takes time to make everything just right, and always fits me in when I call. The only thing missing today was Lovely Delias presence. Thank you, Dr Berkeypile.

I have been visiting Dr. Berkeypile for years now and have been very happy with the service that he provides. He is thorough, careful and professional. He takes extra time to explain procedures and options without trying to sell you on any unnecessary procedures or products. Visiting his office is generally quick and painless (well, relative to visits I have had with other dentists). Plus, Delia, his assistant and office manager, is the best! One of the most kind and caring individuals I have ever met at any doctors office.

My family and I have been Dr. Berkeypiles patients since we moved to New Providence in 1992, and we cant say enough about the first class dental care his practice has given us. Dr B and Delia always go the extra mile to make sure our experience is great and give us the best treatment possible. Dr. B is also concerned with the long term outlook, and he makes excellent treatment recommendations that will keep us smiling long into the future.

I have been Dr. James Berkypile’s patient for very many years—perhaps his OLDEST patient, both in years of service and in age (Almost 91).I love eating crispy food and do so daily, despite Dr. B’s warnings (I especially love chicken bones and eat them daily). Nevertheless, I have NO DENTURES and do not really know which of my teeth are my own, which is a cap and which is a replaced tooth. AMAZING!!What greater recommendations can I give for Dr. B. He is also most kind and caring!

Dr. Berkeypile has been our family dentist since we returned to the area in 1996. During those 17 years, “Dr. B” has taken excellent care of all our dental needs.In all his work, Dr. B and his staff are very professional, warm, friendly, and caring. Dr. B exhibits a tremendous commitment to excellence…..with a recent crown for Paulette, he tweaked the color twice to give her a perfect Jersey Smile! Also, he uses state of the art digital technology. Looking at x-rays and photographs on the flat screen is awesome and helps patients fully understand their dental conditions and treatment needs.Thank you Dr. B—we are very grateful and really appreciate your dedication!Paulette and Charles Garber

Our family moved to NJ last year. I found Dr. Berkeypiles office because I loved his Logo, Jersey Smiles. Our family have been very impressed by the thorough job Dr. B performed. Dr B always offers a variety of treatment options to best suit our individual needs and he gives the best treatment and care. How would have we known that we found the best dentist by moving to NJ!!

I have been a patient for almost twenty years. There is no other dentist I trust to work on my teeth. I am a resident of Florida and live at the Jersey shore in the summer months and still drive to Berkeley Heights for my dental needs. Dr Berkeypile is very thorough and meticulous. He makes me feel very comfortable. I also want to give a shout out to Delia (his assistant) who is also wonderful.

Dr. Berkeypile is the best dentist I have every used. I originally found him when I was new to the area and experiencing tremendous pain. He saw me right away and was quick to put me out of pain. I wound up getting a Root Canal and he made the experience as pleasant as a root canal could possibly be. I could tell her cared and he was informing me of what he was doing every step of the way. Very nice people.

I recently went to Dr. Berkeypiles office as a new patient. I went there initially for a teeth cleaning and x-rays. I was very impressed by the thorough job Dr. B performed. My teeth have never been so clean!! He also uses high tech equipment to explain and show you what is going on in your mouth. He offers a variety of treatment options to best suit your individual needs. He also gives the best level of treatment and care out there. I have used many dentists in the past, but now I have found a permanent one. I would highly recommend Dr. B to anyone!

Review №28

The ONLY dentist I recommend in NJ! Id been a patient of Dr. Berkeypiles since my family moved to Berkeley Heights in 1988. Due to an insurance change, I had to leave the practice for a couple years. One of the biggest regrets of my life. The other guy DESTROYED 2 teeth -- one couldnt be saved and had to be pulled; the other turned into an extensive root canal. Thankfully, my insurance upgraded again and I was able to go back to Dr. B. I will NEVER let anyone else touch my mouth again. EVER!Dr. B. does the most extensive cleaning and oral exam. He educates you on exactly what is going on with your teeth. I went in complaining of a molar ache. He could have easily told me I needed a procedure worth thousands of dollars, just to make a quick buck. Instead, he took digital x-rays and showed me exactly what was going on in my mouth -- right there on the screen. He relieved the bite and said if I was still in pain, to come back. Hed remove the old filling and see if there is a crack underneath. A root canal would be our very last resort. Thankfully!His Office Manager/Assistant, Delia is one of the sweetest and most friendly ladies Ive ever met. She makes the entire experience warm and inviting. If you need a dentist in Berkeley Heights, I highly recommend Dr. Berkeypile.

I came to Dr. Berkeypiles office 5 years ago when looking to have a tooth fixed. I have since remained with his office and couldnt be happier with my results. His kindness and precision have not only prompted me to continue with his office, but my 6 year old daughter is now his patient too. He takes the time and care to answer any of your questions and inform you of any upcoming needed work. Dr. Berkeypile is the best dentist that I have ever seen and continues to stay on top of new and upcoming technology. He provides his patients with a comfortable, and caring atmosphere, making for a more relaxed visit even if it is just for a cleaning.

Finally, after quite some time looking for a GREAT dentist (and having been to some not so good ones…), I feel I have found the right one! Dr. Berkeypile makes you feel at all times that you are getting the best possible treatment for your dental needs. I came to him with a different number of issues and he has provided a comprehensive solution to each of them. He removed some old fillings, corrected cracks and filled them in such a beautiful way that it seems as if it was the real thing. Not even once I have had to go back with an issue. To complement it, the dental care is done together with the most advance media technology that allows the patient to be involved with the treatment at all times (high-def cameras). I can’t say how relieved I am to have him around in my neighbourhood looking after me and my family. Having said this, the highlight is how wonderful he and his staff makes patients feel, for everything, from getting the appointment to teaching the basics of oral care. Totally recommended!!

Review №32

My dental visit was for a routine cleaning and checkup. Appointment was on schedule and Dr. Berkeypile was courteous and concerned for my oral care. Covid concerns were addressed within the office and in the process taken to perform todays cleaning. The cleaning was thorough and took what was a normal amount of time historically for my specific needs. There was a usual post cleaning discussion to address future oral care needs. I have trust in Jersey Smile dentistry. They have been my dental care provider for a long time.

Dr. Berkeypile has been our family dentist for over 30 years. My son, his wife and child regularly return from Roanoke, VA to continue that relationship. Dr. Berkeypile is the most dedicated, meticulous and thorough medical professional that my wife and I have ever known. He does it right with the latest technologies and explains everything. Using this practice seems to be a guarantee of excellent oral health. Highly recommended.

Dr. Berkeypile has been my dentist for over 10 years, and I wish I had found him sooner. His attention to detail is second to none. My mother, Dolores found him after searching for a good dentist.

Review №35

Ive been a patient of Dr Berkeypiles for almost 20 years. I appreciate the attention to detail he and his friendly staff provide and the terrific dental results they achieve. I recently tried the KoR Whitening system which I really like. It took two office visits and a bit of discipline outside of the office to complete the 3 week cycle but the results were very good and the custom trays and extra whitening gel can be used again over time to maintain the desired color.2014 ReviewIve been relying on Dr Berkeypile for all of my dental care since 1999. With the benefit of 15 years of hindsight, coming to Dr. Berkeypile and staying is one of the best health and quality of life decisions Ive made. When I first started in 99 I was new to the area and just wanted to find a dentist to help me avoid cavities and bigger dental problems. Id had a lot of issues with my teeth over the previous 20 years and consequently got to observe a number of dentists. Dr. Berkeypile systematically improved my dental health over time with his ability to diagnose, prioritize, recommend options, and perform work of exceptional quality. After a while the dental issues were gone but I also noticed an unintended result that my teeth and smile looked a lot better - I attribute this completely to Dr Bs attention to detail and professionalism because I never even asked for it, it just happened. Dr Berkeypile is without a doubt the best dentist Ive ever had - like other professionals he constantly invests in the latest technology and keeps up to date (I can say that since Ive been there for 15 years), but I think what really distinguishes him is his technical and artistic skill combined with an absolute commitment to do the right thing and to never take short cuts or make compromises with the dental health of his patients.

If you are looking for a local dentist who can provide highest quality of service, in a clean and quiet setting and who will recognize you and know your name if accidentally runs into you on the street, then look no further.This is a one-doc office where Dr. Berkeypile takes care of business more or less on his own. Unlike a typical busy dentists office, he’s likely to answer the phone himself and schedule your next visit himself. And that’s not to say he doesn’t have assistants - he does, but he still runs the office and the assistants do what they are supposed to - assist without taking over. This is very much unlike just about any other medical office I’ve ever been to where you have to fight through one or more Maginot lines of administrative “defense” before you can speak to the doctor. And did I mention that my typical waiting time between arrival in office and proceeding to the operating room is about 2 minutes?Doc is as experienced as they come and uses all the latest tech: xrays are sent to a flat screen in front of the patient’s chair as soon as he takes them, and so are regular photos; laser cavity depth detectors, rubber dams, to name a few.The experience comes through in his rational assessment of his own expertise and if you require help beyond the realms of general dentistry or orthodontics, he will refer you to a proper professional, e.g. an oral surgeon, and not risk your health attempting a procedure himself, just to make a buck or out of sheer vanity.Doc’s advice is never imposing. The way he’d explain it will never make you feel threatened or dumb, even if the issue at hand is a no-brainer to him. The decision ultimately always stays with the patient to choose which procedure to undergo, when, and where.

Simply the best.Let me say that I have had had horrible experiences with dentists for 30+ years. I went to Dr. Berkeypile for an evaluation and to discuss treatment options. I have been there 3 times in the past few months and he has taken special care to attend to my apprehension. He makes the experience almost pleasant. He has a device for applying anesthesia called the wand. It applies anesthesia without needles. WITHOUT NEEDLES!! Just last night I had 2 teeth filled and bonded and my smile has never looked better. I am smiling for the first time in 30 years. Both because my smile looks better than ever and Dr. Berkeypile makes me so comfortable with dental work.

Dr. Berkeypile has been my dentist for the past fifteen years. He is most thorough. As well, he takes his time to explain what he is doing, and its reasoning, while he is working.My young children also use Dr. Berkelypile for their cleanings and dental exams. In fact, Dr. Berekeypile was able to help diagnose my two month old son with tongue tie issues, when others were unable.I am ALWAYS greeted, whether on the phone or at the office, with a warm and caring dental assistant /receptionist. Delia Clemente goes out of her way to help get you the appointment you need, work with your insurance, and help you have a pleasant experience. She is even known to help watch young children in the waiting room so that one can have an undisturbed visit. It is her manner that truly makes a visit to the dentist unlike any other doctor in which I have visited.I recommend Dr. Berkeypile for all your dental needs.

I have had several terrifying, unpleasant experiences with a different dentist that made me terrified to go back. After two years of avoiding the dentist altogether, I found Jersey Smile online and it had excellent reviews. Sure enough, Dr. Berkeypile soothed all my fears. He is a kind, patient man who takes him time to be precise with his work and to explain everything to his patients. I am no longer afraid of the dentist. I would highly recommend Dr. Berkeypile - he really cares about his patients’ wellbeing.

While my wife and I were vacationing my lower denture broke. Dr Berkypile was kind enough to accommodate my needs the very nextday even though I was not a usual patient. I was taken care of with no wait and treated with the utmost courtesy and care. The complicated repair to my denture (more than three hours) was accomplished in the office. It is strong but still cosmetically attractive. My regular dentist at home was very impressed with the quality and workmanship of the repair. He informed me that the time and cost that their office would need to charge would be substantially greater than that which I paid Dr Berkypile to accomplish the repair. Finally, Dr Berkypile was professional and personable and gentle. I highly recommend this dentist.

Dr. Berkeypile is a great dentist. He is very kind and knowledgeable, and explains the procedures he’s performing so that we can feel more comfortable knowing what is being done. Furthermore, Dr. Berkeypile’s assistant, Delia, is one of the most compassionate people I have met. As someone who has been going to Dr. Berkeypile since I was in 2nd grade (currently a college graduate) I can, without reservation, highly recommend Dr. Berkeypile and Jersey Smile for anyone’s dental needs.

Review №51

Ive been going to Dr. Berkeypile for years and will never go to anyone else due to the simple fact that he is wonderful at his craft. I have always felt right at home in his office and leave feeling well taken care of. My most recent experience is what prompted me to write this review after all this time. Ive suffered from extreme sensitivity to cold, which severely impacted my ability to drink water comfortably. Even something as simple as using mouth wash or eating ice cream was unpleasant for me. Daily activities became a painful nuisance. Upon seeing Dr. Berkeypile, he discovered that I had exposed roots in certain areas from brushing too hard on my gums over the years. In addition to showing me the proper techniques to avoid further damage, he was able to seal those areas for me (about 5 or 6 spots) with a quick and painless bond that lasts a few years, and has worked wonders for me. I no longer feel any pain when I drink water or have anything cold. What a relief!! Also, at that same appointment I had to get a filling for a cavity, which I know most people dont exactly look forward to. Dr B made this process so simple and absolutely painless through the use of a wand, rather than the traditional novocaine administered with a needle. The wand simply numbs the area where the cavity is, at the root, so you do not experience any pain, needles or the awkward numbing of your entire face. This completely transformed my experience at the dentist! I highly recommend Dr Berkeypile as he truly cares about his patients and wants them all to have a positive experience! Thank you Dr B!

Review №52

For years I’ve wanted to do something about my smile and just never have. I’ve always been “uncomfortable” in social situations or smiling for photos. It got to the point that I would even cover my mouth when laughing or speaking to people. I was actually ashamed of how I looked. Every holiday photo I have is with me grimacing through a closed lip smile. My kids even asked me “Mommy, why are you so angry in all of our pictures? That was the last straw. I was really tired of going through life this way. Going to the dentist has never been easy for me to. I think this is because I had bad experiences as a child. I recently moved to the area and my physician highly recommended Dr. Berkeypile at Jersey Smile in Berkeley Heights, NJ. He said he takes his entire family there and wouldn’t go anywhere else! Well, if it’s good enough for my doctor and his family I thought I’d give them a try. BEST DECISION I EVER MADE. They made me feel comfortable and cared for from the minute I walked in the door until my treatment was done. Dr. Berkeypile, unlike previous dentists I’ve been to, actually spent time with me. He took the time to listen to all of my fears and concerns, and took the time to find out what kind of smile I WANTED. I finally had a plan. Fast forward to now. I have a beautiful smile that I’m proud to show off. It took three visits, and I even got my teeth cleaned. Dr. Berkeypile explained everything he was going to do before he did it, and made sure that I was always comfortable every step of the way. Finally I’d like to mention Delia. She’s amazing too! She took care of sending in all of my insurance paperwork so I didn’t have that headache, and she helped me find a way to afford my gorgeous new smile. To say I couldn’t be happier is an understatement! Yesterday at work one of my coworkers commented on how much younger I looked, and my kids commented on this year’s Christmas photos that Mommy looks so happy! Dr. Berkeypile, you’ve given me more than my smile back. You’ve given me my self confidence back. I love the way I look now, and I love the way that makes me feel. That is huge! Thanks so much. You’ll be seeing my husband and children soon. Happy New Year to and Delia and thanks again!
