Dr. Bartusiak and his staff have redeemed my faith in dentistry.  It goes beyond being the cleanest office I've ever seen.  It's more than the fact of having the happiest and most helpful staff.  It's the care that he, and all of his staff, put into every patient.  My children adore Dr. Bob and the whole crew!  No fights getting them through the door.  He has calmed the lifelong fears I've had of dentists.  His recent 'fixing' of my front teeth went beyond anything I imagined.  My teeth didn't look like I picked them out of a catalog.  They looked like mine.  It brought me to tears that he made them look just as they did before I met him.  That is more than talent.  That is putting all his care into every patient.  I can't thank Dr. Bartusiak and his staff for not just restoring my teeth, but my self-confidence as well.  For those, and so many other reasons, Dr. Bartusiak and his staff are priceless.

I have had long term issues with a set of four teeth that had been susceptible to infection. Dr. Bartusiak has been my dentist for years. He was aware of these issues and closely monitored the status of these teeth over the years. Recently, one of the teeth became infected. This required extraction of the infected tooth and replacement of the existing crowns. Dr. Bartusiak recommended an excellent course of action for extracting the tooth, making a temporary bridge, and replacing the existing crowns with a permanent bridge. The well planned and executed process spanned several weeks and was well coordinated. The final steps included making a final impression for the permanent bridge. The results were outstanding. I am very pleased with the fit of the permanent bridge and the cosmetic appearance. Overall this was an excellent experience and I highly recommend Dr. Bartusiak for dental services and especially for crowns, bridges, and cosmetic dentistry. 

Dr. Robert A. Bartusiak and his excellent staff do a wonderful job for all of your basic dental needs, cleanings, fillings, crowns, etc. However, Dr. Bartusiak is exceptional if you have Cosmetic Dentistry needs. 

I had a bit of a 'snaggle tooth' on my front teeth which was physically small, but very noticeable and it made a BIG impact on my smile and confidence. My oldest daughter preferred pictures of me not smiling because of it. As my 'snaggle' was at the very tip of my teeth, it was going to be very difficult to 'fill' it and of course, the color matching had to be perfect, or any filling material was going to be very noticeable. 

First, the 'snaggle' is completely removed and the profile of my teeth looks very natural. Second, the color matching is phenomenal! I knew that Dr. Bartusiak added material to my teeth, but when I first saw the picture of them, I asked, "Did you add any (visible) material?" Which, of course, he had. The color match is so perfect, that even if you know where to look, you cannot distinguish between my real teeth and his cosmetic dentistry.

Dr. Bob has again fixed my smile and given me back my confidence. I cannot tell you how hard it is to find a dentist with the skill and kindness he has that I can trust elsewhere. For me he was worth driving across the state for such excellent dentistry. Thank you all so much! You all have made my dental difficulties a little easier.

Perfect Fit Every Time: Did you ever come from a dentist after your procedure feeling that your bite just wasn't quite right? Even after the Novocain wears off the alignment still wasn't there. I have had fillings replaced as well as complex bridgework and the results have been the same... A Perfect Fit Every Time. 

Cleanliness and Hand Care: Impeccable describes it best. Dr. Bartusiak and staff impressed me with this on my first visit and it is still their common practice. Watch and observe for yourself.

Listening and Caring: The welcome smiles and greetings are sincere. They explain your procedure and answer your questions. The breakdown of the bills really helps. 

Yes, I would highly recommend Dr. Robert Bartusiak. To the young and to life's more experienced people. 

I highly recommend Dr. Bartusiak's practice for all your dental needs. He is competent, professional, and always has a pleasant attitude. I had a cracked tooth that was causing me a lot of pain, so much I could not sleep, so I called him at 11:30pm one night. He answered my phone call, recommended what medication to take, and he followed up with me via phone calls on a Saturday. He has a pleasant and very nice office staff, and they squeezed me into the schedule whenever I had an emergency or immediate need.

Miracles can happen! I went to Dr. Bartusiak for an opinion on fixing my existing crowns in April 2016. Repair was not an option, so I agreed to proceed with 14 new crowns. The lower crowns were not necessary but would make a difference. The temporary crowns were complete for Memorial Day weekend as I celebrated my 50th class reunion in Michigan. The complete process took place over the next few months and spaced out so that I could adjust. Today, I have my new crowns, identical to my permanent teeth and I could not be more grateful and excited about my new look. Thank you Dr. Bob for taking your days off to fit me in. My statement to you is that you, as my new dentist, are over the top with skill, chair-side manners, and a staff that is so accommodating. 

If you are in the process of finding a new dental practice, I highly recommend seeing Dr. Robert Bartusiak. I have been a patient of his for several years after spending many "white-knuckled" visits to other dentists in the area. When you enter his office, you are greeted by his friendly staff members and by the time you see Dr. Bob, you are totally at ease. Dr. Bartusiak's personality is one of being highly professional yet making you feel like a friend more than just another patient. He runs his office very efficiently with all of the latest equipment necessary to meet your dental care needs. He also takes the time to explain to you in detail before proceeding any procedure, which to me is important. I am confident anyone who chooses Dr. Bartusiak will be very satisfied with their dental care. 

I moved to the area in 2008 from out of state, and in asking for dental recommendations, several neighbors highly recommended Dr. Bartusiak. I have found the level of care to be outstanding, and not once have I ever felt being rushed out of the chair for the next patient. Office visits are a pleasure, as he and his entire staff are very friendly, personable, and very welcoming for each appointment. Dr. Bartusiak takes the time to explain what he "sees", what he would recommend to address now and what needs to be watched for during future visits. I have followed through on all his recommendations, as the dental care has been exceptional and I am very pleased with the outcomes. Like our neighbors in 2008, I also highly recommend Dr. Bartusiak and his staff to anyone seeking a highly professional, caring, and friendly dental care practice.


Dr. Bartusiak has restored my faith in the dental profession!  For years I have been terrified of going to the dentist due to bad experiences early on in life and into adulthood.  As a result I had/have a lot of issues.  Dr. Bartusiak's patience, understanding, concern and genuine display of caring is why I am now getting some long-needed work done.  The work so far has improved my self-esteem, given me the confidence to smile again, and allows me to eat healthier.  I've been to a number of dentists and most have been rushed and did not really take the time to explain everything.  Dr. Bartusiak does.  He also takes great pride in his work which allows me to be proud of it as well.  He has literally changed my life for the better.  Thanks!


Dr. Robert Bartusiak...I have no idea where to begin.  

My name is Mike, and I don't think there is anyone in the world who hates the dentist more than I do.  My family and I have bounced around for years, dentist to dentist, to find the right fit.  Some were just flat out bad, others were just okay but I still hated to go.  I just can never get myself to enjoy the dentist. 

When I first met Dr. Bartusiak, I had to go in for a crown.  Obviously me not liking the dentist I am thinking: oh great, here we go again.  I've never met a more heart-filled, caring, self-motivated gentleman in my life.  He is truly there for the patient and makes you feel at home.  

I had appointments with him once a week for six weeks.  Most would think someone in my position would be miserable, but in reality I wanted to go and visit with him.  He treated me like a normal human being, not just another patient that he was just trying to make money off of.  My temporary tooth actually fell out at work and he insisted that I come see that day, even though he was on a tight schedule.  He would ask me about my work career and give me insight on life.  To a 23 year old, hearing that from a successful man means the world. 

Not only did I leave with remarkable teeth (which going in there, my teeth were yellow and I never cared about taking care of them), I left the office knowing he would take care of me whenever I need it.  I now am motivated to keep my teeth looking awesome!  The heart and passion Dr. Bartusiak put into my teeth has helped me to care about my looks and feel more confident.  Most of all I want to take good care of my teeth so I can continue to have this awesome smile.  If you don't see Dr. Bartusiak, I highly recommend seeing him.  It will change your outlook on dental hygiene for life!


I had terrible teeth. 

Old, deteriorating amalgam fillings that darkened most of my teeth.  Broken and cracked teeth.  An infected tooth.  Exposed nerves at the gum line almost everywhere.  Stained teeth from years of coffee and red wine.  An obvious crown in front that didn't match the rest of my teeth.  After doing only cleanings and basic repairs for years, I hated my smile, my teeth hurt, I thought it was hopeless and didn't know who to call or what to do...but I had to do something.

I didn't know Dr. Bartusiak, but I often saw him and his family at church; I called for an appointment, warning them in advance that my teeth were a mess with all sorts of problems.  They immediately put me at ease by telling me to come on in, assuring me that they had seen it all and could fix anything!

From my first visit there I felt comfortable - everybody on staff is pleasant and fun and good-natured.  What really set the tone, though, is that I felt like I was a valued customer in every way.  I'm a consultant, and I provide service to my clients on an hourly basis, so I fully understand that time is money; that's why I was amazed at how much time and effort Dr. Bartusiak and his team spent with me.  Between looking at photos, x-rays, and showing me things in the mirror, he described everything from the outset.  He explained what was what with every tooth, answered my questions, and went through different options and alternatives in detail.  Dr. Bartusiak recommended the procedures that should be prioritized, identified which things could wait, reviewed how long all the work would take, and made sure I understood the plan of action and I agreed that it made sense - not just for cosmetic appearance, but for health and functionality, too.

Now fast forward two years: after fearing the worst, this turned out to be an amazing experience for me.  There were no surprises, and true to their word, they did indeed fix everything.  I originally anticipated all sorts of extractions and bridges and implants, but fortunately, Dr. Bartusiak's team was able to fix what I had.  It took 13 crowns, a tooth removal, two fillings, and a Zoom whitening, but WOW!!!!  My tooth pain is gone: no more trouble with cold drinks or sweets.  My teeth are now white and they match.  I can comfortably chew on both sides.  To top it all off, it was truly painless dentistry, as I don't think I said 'ouch' even once through all those procedures.

Yes, I now have the smile I never dreamed possible.  To say I'm thrilled with the results would be an understatement -- I'm the happiest patient you've ever had!

Thank you, Doc!  Thank You!


My teeth look terrific!  I had no idea my smile could look as good as it now does.  Thank you so much!

I was having pain in my tooth and needed to see Dr. Bob quickly.  His staff was courteous and quickly fit me into their schedule, taking into account my work schedule.  Even with their difficulties in dealing with the power failure that occurred the day before, I was still seen by Dr. Bob at the quickly scheduled time.  I appreciate it very much.  I no longer have pain in my tooth!

Been going to Dr. Bob for almost 20 years!  Convenient appointment times, close to my house.  Dr. Bob is caring, understands my fears and my smile never looked better!

This was my first visit and I have to honestly say that I felt the staff and doctor had genuine compassion and sympathy for my situation.  They made time for me and had an appointment available right away to help me.  I believe they want to remedy my dental issues and work with me to make this happen.

Very convenient location in Peters Township.  This office is very accommodating and helpful.  Dr. Bob is very professional; great personality and awesome with kids.  The office is very nice.  Both Susans are friendly, helpful and good at their jobs.


I have always been warmly received upon entering the reception area.  There is an atmosphere of professionalism, courtesy and caring during the entire visit.  Susan did a thorough job of cleaning my teeth and Dr. Bartusiak, whom I have come to consider as an old friend, did a thorough exam and apprised me of my current dental concerns.  I am always made to feel comfortable during my visits to this office.

We are very pleased with the plan of treatment set forth for John.  We find all of you so friendly.  We would highly recommend Dr. Bartusiak for dental care.

Dr. Bartusiak and his staff are the best.  I've always had a fear of going to the dentist, and he and his staff took me under their wings and eased my fears.  I was not a patient of theirs and I had an emergency dental issue and they got me in the office, even squeezed me into their busy schedule to take care of me.  Dr. Bartusiak has the most gentle hands and he deeply cares about his patients.  Always asking if you are ok.  I needed a couple of new crowns on my front teeth and never felt any pain.  Thank you so much for taking care of me.  I can now smile with confidence.


I am so thrilled with my veneers!  At the urging of my grandson (who is the 'President of Dr. Bob's fan club'), I had veneers done on my four front teeth.  My teeth had discolored because decades of eating lemons had eroded the enamel.  Now with my beautiful veneers, I have regained the bright, white smile of my youth.  I even smile when I am angry!


As a patient of Dr. Bartusiak since 2002, I continue to come back because of the care and professionalism I experience every time I visit.  The staff is very friendly, upbeat and positive, which immediately puts you at ease.  Dr. Bartusiak has a wonderful 'bedside manner' and while you are in the chair he verbally affirms and updates you on the progress he is making so you can relax even further.  Dr. Bartusiak is also very thorough and proactive in his dental practice and only recommends treatments that are necessary and in the best interest of his patients.



When I moved to McMurray in 1999, I was looking for a new dentist for myself and my daughter.  We really chose a practice that we felt comfortable going to, working with and exploring dental options.  I replaced crowns and WOW! what a difference in the appearance of my teeth/smile!! Dr. Robert Bartusiak and his staff over the years have met our needs with their expertise in cosmetic dentistry and overall oral health.  We have referred children, young adults and seniors we know to Dr. Bartusiak because he is quite simply, the best.

If you are in the process of finding a new dental practice, I highly recommend seeing Dr. Robert Bartusiak at his office in Waterdam Plaza, McMurray, PA.  I have been a patient of his for several years after spending many 'white-knuckled' visits to other dentists in the area.  When you enter his office, you are greeted by his friendly staff members and by the time you see 'Dr. Bob', you are totally at ease.  Dr. Bartusiak's personality is one of being highly professional yet making you feel like a friend more than just another patient.  He runs his office very efficiently with all of the latest equipment necessary to meet your dental care needs.  He also takes the time to explain to you in detail before proceeding any procedure which, to me, is important.  I am confident anyone who chooses Dr. Bartusiak will be very satisfied with their dental care.

I have been a patient of Dr. Robert Bartusiak for 24 years.  Before this, going to the dentist was a nerve-racking experience for me.  Dr. Bob and his office staff have earned my complete trust.  Now I am so comfortable I almost nod off.  One of the reasons I trust Dr. Bob is his skill as a dentist and attention to detail.  I want a perfectionist when it comes to my dental health.  Dr. Bob also clearly communicates the situation and explains the options so I know exactly what needs to be done.  The office staff and Dr. Bob clearly care about their patients.  They ask about my life and family, who are also patients here.

I've been coming to see Dr. Bartusiak for quite a few years.  I have received the best dental care here and would recommend him to anyone looking for such care.  Due to insurance coverage one year, I had to change dentists :-(  Well as soon as my insurance switched back I did not hesitate to come back to Doc B.  If you are nervous or scared of the dentist, he does everything in his power to quelch those fears.  I recently had to have an emergency situation taken care of and even with a packed schedule he got me in and took care of it.  I felt no pain and he knew what he was doing!  Thank you, Dr. Bartusiak, for your outstanding care!!  

Picking a dentist when I moved to Pennsylvania was very difficult for me.  For the first year I'd return to Connecticut to visit my dentist.  But after the third trip I had enough and decided it was time to find someone local.

So I did what anyone would (or at least should) do - I made up a questionnaire and mailed it to about 25 dentists.  When six of the dentists had replied I made copies and forwarded them to my Connecticut dentist to review.  Between us we came up with two names.  So I interviewed them and chose Dr. Robert Bartusiak.  This was 18 years ago.  It was one of the best choices I ever made.  My dental work is what I would describe as high-maintenance and "Dr. Bob" - as his staff calls him - has handled it superbly.  He not only has a great "chairside manner" but when I ask questions - and I ask many - he takes the time to answer them and he answers them well.  He has the personality, the knowledge and the hands.  And the staff is wonderful.

Over the years I have recommended Dr. Bob to several people.  Almost to the person they have thanked me, multiple times, for setting them up with Dr. Bob.  I could not give a stronger recommendation to a medical professional than I can to Dr. Robert A. Bartusiak.    


I have been a patient of Dr. Bob's since 2005.  Since beginning my time at this office I have gotten married and moved to the North Hills.  I trust my care at this office and really love the family atmosphere every time I walk in the door - and so I do the 45 minute drive to come here!  I would highly recommend Dr. Robert Bartusiak for anyone looking for excellent dental care.   


Dr. Bartusiak and his staff are always pleasant, considerate, friendly and professional.  With all my dental work, Dr. Bob's kind and gentle treatment has prevented any painful aftermath.  I have been very satisfied with the quality of his dentistry.  Although no one wants to go to the dentist, Dr. Bob and his excellent staff make the experience as positive as possible.  

I had continuous neck pain, headaches, and jaw pain for a very long time assuming it was from TMJ and it was something I just had to deal with daily. After seeing Dr. Bartusiak when I cracked a tooth, he had come to the conclusion it was from me grinding my teeth at night which I didn't even know I did. He made a mouth guard for me to see if it would help.    

After using the mouth guard for two weeks, I saw all of the severe grind marks I put on the guard... I knew my pain and cracked tooth was the result of grinding my teeth. 

I can’t tell you how much the mouth guard has helped me! I feel like a new person in the mornings – pain and headache free! Not to mention his staff is fantastic – such wonderful folks! I would recommend everyone I know to see Dr. Bartusiak and his staff!


Dr. Bartusiak is a good, caring dentist. His staff is kind and efficient and they always make you feel comfortable. I had become lax in my dental routines. He has given me a new smile and encouraged me to give it my best. I now feel confident that it is worth it to find a good dentist.  I like Dr. Bartusiak and his staff.  

Dr. Bartusiak is very professional and friendly. He is very aware of his patient's needs and works at the patient's pace. Throughout your dental procedure, Dr. Bartusiak constantly asks if you are doing alright or if you need a break. I have always been satisfied throughout the whole process of my dental work. The entire staff at Dr. Bartusiak's office is welcoming and professional. 

I have always experienced nothing but professional work with expert descriptions as to the procedures and what to expect at the outcome. I have had many different and difficult procedures done, all ending with exceptional satisfaction. To see my before and after photos is truly amazing. To bring back a happy show-off smile has been my reward for trusting Dr. Bartusiak. 

Dr. Bartusiak was highly recommended to me by a colleague after I relocated to the Canonsburg area.  From my first visit, it was easy to see why.  The staff members are all very welcoming and friendly and their warm personalities make each patient feel like they are a valued part of the practice.  The personal touch that is given to their outstanding level of professional care turns visiting the dentist into a pleasant experience rather than a daunting chore.  I couldn't be more pleased with the treatment that I have received as a patient of Dr. Bartusiak, and would not hesitate to recommend his practice to anyone looking for outstanding dental care in the South Hills.
