Dr. Lee J. Simon, DDS: Reviews
Negative experience: Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this office. This entire process began after a routine dental cleaning, when I was referred for what I believed would be an evaluation and potential treatment plan for a surgical implant. Based on that referral, I expected a more thorough discussion regarding my options and whether the procedure could actually be performed. My experience was extremely disappointing from start to finish. I waited nearly a month for the appointment, but very little was explained to me beforehand regarding what would actually take place, what my options were, or whether I was even a candidate for the procedure. I was scheduled for a 1:30 PM appointment, only 30 minutes before the office closed, and after waiting weeks to be seen and taking time off work, I left feeling like nothing meaningful had been accomplished. I was charged $225 for a consultation and ultimately told there was little or nothing that could be done regarding the implant I was seeking. If that was the case, I believe those concerns should have been addressed before scheduling the appointment and collecting the consultation fee. What frustrated me most was the lack of communication and personal attention. As a patient, I expected a more welcoming experience and a clearer explanation of my situation, treatment options, and realistic expectations. Instead, I left feeling like just another number rather than someone seeking help with an important dental issue. To make matters worse, after the appointment I attempted to contact the office by both phone and email regarding my concerns and the charges associated with the visit. Unfortunately, I never received a response. The lack of follow-up only added to my frustration and left me feeling that my concerns as a patient were not being taken seriously. I understand that not every patient is a candidate for every procedure, but I believe patients deserve transparency, clear communication, and realistic expectations before investing their time and money. Had I known there was a strong possibility that no treatment could be provided, I would have explored other providers rather than waiting nearly a month, taking time off work, and paying for a consultation that ultimately led nowhere. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this office and would encourage others to ask detailed questions about consultation fees, treatment eligibility, and expected outcomes before scheduling an appointment. would've like to see dr. Simon,this Dr. Zhu is not at all concerned with her patients or the care, she just gives off for the money vibe.
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful time at their office. I really recommend
Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for years. The staff is personable and helpful. Love the fact that they have an in house dental plan for those who do not have insurance to help ease the burden of costly procedures and to promote good dental hygiene.
Fantastic experience: I've been with Dental service for over 30 years. Great service, always there to coordinate you needs.
Fantastic experience: Professional service, and I never have to wait in the waiting room unless I'm early...they always seem to be running on time.
Thank you for the nice review!
Positive experience: Hygienist was personable and efficient.
Fantastic experience: I enjoyed my visit. The tech was very informative. I spent less than five minutes with the dentist because the tech answered all of my questions and she did a job on the cleaning. I believe her name was Shareda. Also the view is beautiful, lying on the chair staring out of the window was very relaxing.
Fantastic experience: “I consistently receive superior dental care at this office. The cleanings are excellent, and the quality of the dental work is outstanding. The staff is welcoming, professional, and always makes me feel comfortable. The dentist is knowledgeable, gentle, and truly cares about patients. I highly recommend this dental practice to anyone looking for exceptional care.”
Fantastic experience: Always great people courteous and super efficient
Hi L.C. , Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to review for us. See you at your next visit!
Dr. Simon and staff
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lee Simon is the Best Dentist in the whole wide world I am going to miss him dearly when he he retires.
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience for my teeth cleaning. Very knowledgeable and kind staff, will be returning for future appointments!
Fantastic experience: Great first visit! Dr. Zhu and Sirena were very patient, thorough, and kind. Answered all my questions and promptly scheduled me for return treatments. Excellent care!
Negative experience: I was very disappointed with the administrative and intake process. I submitted my new patient forms back in July 2025, but they were never acknowledged or processed by the office. I had to follow up several months later, through both a phone call and another email, and I still did not hear back. Based on this experience and the complete lack of response to my attempts to enroll, I seriously question if this office is accurately representing that they are accepting new patients. A lack of organization and responsiveness with new patient forms is a significant administrative concern.
Fantastic experience: Always helpful, professional and make my visits enjoyable!
Positive experience: Very Good and accommodating support staff, I have had a wonderful experience with my general dental cleaning at the Doctors office. Christine was really good. I would recommend Doctor and her staff to anyone!
Fantastic experience: So kind, so gentle, and so knowledgeable! This is what dentistry should be!
Fantastic experience: Marci was great. Couldn’t ask for better service
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Dr.Zhu and staff are friendly, knowledgeable about insurance coverage, and offer excellent care.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Z. is doing a great job and the staff has always been excellent. The only dental practice I trust for me and my family.
Fantastic experience: Everyone there has always been amazing! I would highly recommend this office to anyone who is looking for a new dentist
Fantastic experience: The staff makes you feel at ease and welcome from the time you arrive. If any work needs to be done it's explained in easy to understand language. You receive quality treatment in a friendly environment. The practice has changed hands since Dr Simon has recently retired. So I hope the policy of the office operation remains unchanged especially for retirees without insurance. Another change is Monica who was my hygienist for many years is retiring and she made my visits pleasant because she has similar situation as I do because we have children and grandchildren. I hope that she enjoys her retirement and her replacement is as enjoyable as she is.
Hi John, we are happy to hear that you are comfortable with your visits in our office. See you at your next check-up. :)
Fantastic experience: Super friendly and awesome staff. Dr Lee does amazing work very pleased!! Fast service aswell
Fantastic experience: Will be back and highly recommend them. Kind caring, not making you feel like they are in a hurry.
Negative experience: Dr.Lee and his team are awesome such wonderful staff. Very unfortunate that the new Dentist whom took over the practice she drilled too far in to my teeth and causes me To have an abscess for over a year now I have been dealing with the pain and infection. They will not just pull my tooth and I cannot find a dentist/endodontist to save my life. Missing Dr.Lee Simon real bad.
Fantastic experience: The absolute goat
Fantastic experience: Always have a great experience at Dr. Simon's. Monica is very professional and a great person.
Fantastic experience: This dentist’s office feels good. They are concerned with patient experience. The staff is knowledgeable and spent time talking to me. The dentist answered all my questions. Also, pretty sure this is an Erie local, women-owned business. Have your teeth cleaned in a massage chair while looking out the window!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful service and very friendly staff. Dr. Zhu took me in for an emergency visit, and address the issue promptly with professional service. Glad to finally have a good family Dentist.
Fantastic experience: Staff was super friendly and a great environment to be in :) Very pleased with my cleaning!
Fantastic experience: Everyone is extremely helpful and friendly at this office!
Thank you for the positive review! We are glad to take care of you.
Negative experience: I never had an issue with Dr. Simon, he was a great dentist. However, ever since I had a tooth extraction by Dr. Zhu my life has been a literal nightmare. Dr. Zhu brushed me off and told me I must have had an issue before I had the extraction. I have been in severe pain for months and have spent thousands of dollars on treatments for the pain. I attempted to call the office several times to let them know that I would not be returning as well as my children, but every time I called it went right to the answering service. I was very hesitant to write this review because all the other employees were very kind to me when I was a patient there. I don’t deserve what I am currently dealing with and all I wanted to do was express why my family and I will not be returning.
Carrie, we are so sorry to hear about your negative experience, and apologize for your difficulties getting through to us. Please get in touch with us at [email protected] or use our contact form at https://www.leesimondds.com/contact-best-dentist-erie-pa and we will make sure someone gets back to you.
Negative experience: I have been a patient of Dr.Simon for over 4 years. He never raised any concerns about my teeth and complemented how I took care of them. Then I had Dr. Zhu for the first time this year. First, she didn’t introduce herself at all. I’m actually pretty sure she said nothing to me the entire time. Secondly she claimed I had FIVE cavities (she didn’t even tell me directly she had the assistant tell me) that apparently developed in less than a year. I went to get a second opinion today and the dentist said I have ZERO and complemented how well I take care of my teeth. Be aware of dr. Zhu and get second opinions.
Hi Katelynn, we appreciate your feedback. Patient care, communication, and attentiveness to detail remain our foremost priorities, and we look forward to maintaining the same excellent standard you've come to expect with Dr. Simon. Please reach out to us directly if you'd like to discuss your experience in more detail.
Fantastic experience: Dentis Zue and all her staff are the nicest friendliest dentist I abd team i ever been too
Hi there, Angela! Thank you so much for your extremely kind words - it was a pleasure! :)
Negative experience: I have been a patient of Dr. Simon's since I was a child, before he even moved into his Cranberry street location. Dr. Zhu, the new dentist taking over, is more concerned about making money than she is about patient care. (Typical of young professionals that are being taught businees over skill/craftsmanship.) My sister and I both still have our wisdom teeth because they never caused us any trouble, and we were both given a "pitch" on why we should have them removed. Dr. Simon NEVER encouraged a patient to do something that didn't need to be done. Another disappointment is the new dental hygienist Melanie. Yes, she is very thorough, but she takes forever to do a simple teeth cleaning. I understand that she wants to "consult" with the patient about better tooth care, but wait until after your done cleaning my teeth! Look... your hands are already in my mouth. I don't need the added stress that comes with a 12-hour presentation on the severity of my tarter build-up!
Hello, Matthew! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Transitioning to new team members can bring changes, and we are committed to maintaining the high standard of care you've come to expect. Dr. Zhu and our team prioritize patient care and aim to provide thorough consultations to ensure all treatment options are clearly understood. Your comfort and satisfaction are important to us, and we welcome any further feedback you might have. Please feel free to reach out directly if you'd like to discuss your experience in more detail!
Fantastic experience: The staff is super kind, friendly and professional!
Thanks so much, Deborah! The team appreciates your feedback!

Fantastic experience: I had a painful, toothache emergency and they got me in within an hour of my call. Very kind, thorough and extremely professional. They took the time to explain everything and answered all my questions. I appreciate everything your team did to help me. Your the best!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Zhu is a compassionate, caring, knowledgeable great Dentist. I was very happy I chose her among 5 other dentist. I wish her The best in the world. Ramona
Fantastic experience: Dr. Zhu and her incredible team are absolutely outstanding! From the moment I walked in, I was treated like family. I had a tooth that needed a root canal, and they were able to fit me in as a new patient within just one day. The procedure itself was seamless—I didn’t feel a thing! The temporary crown was expertly placed, but the final gold crown is simply perfection. It fits like it was custom-made just for me and shines brilliantly! The entire process was smooth and stress-free, and I genuinely look forward to every visit because of the warm, friendly atmosphere created by Dr. Zhu and her team. Without a doubt, Dr. Zhu is now my go-to dentist in Northwest PA! Highly recommend!
Positive experience: Lee Simons' dental technician, Melanie is experienced and very concerned with the patients' comfort. I hit it lucky with the young lady who took over the practice.. very knowledgeable and young enough so I probably won't have to find another dentist unless I move or she does.
Fantastic experience: They have a great staff that was friendly but also punctual. Straight to the point and very quick with scheduling appointments. I highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Sirena was very professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend her to my family and friends.
Thanks Sabrina for taking time to review . See you at your next check-up :)

Fantastic experience: Dr Lee Simon has a first rate practice, When I had a dental problem in Florida we came back early to have Doctor Simon fix the problem, after seeing a dentist and a endodontist in Florida.

Amy did my cleaning and she was very helpful, talkative, and kind. They treated me as though I've been coming there for years. They even donated toothbrushes and toothpaste to the emergency shelter I work at which my administration was very thankful for. I look forward to coming back and setting up appointments for my wife and children.
