20 Best Dental Assistant Programs In Bronx, NY (2022 Updated)

A good school where you get out what you put in. Many trains stop within walking distance and buses as well. Just like any college, depending on your major, you will find good and bad professors. So always make use of the rate my professor website. I had a very pleasant experience. The administration was more competent than other schools I went to and my issues were always solved within a reasonable amount of time. The facilities I had to use for my major were in even better condition compared to some four year schools. The wifi coverage was good. Plenty of cafeterias with the best one being in the E building. Plenty of food trucks with different types of foods. Lots of seating areas with electrical ports. The class scheduling was workable with enough sections to fit almost everyone. Can't speak for any other major but it felt like that overall. They are always hiring new adjuncts so it's not the same professor teaching that one section you need all the time that everyone says is horrible. Always stay on top of your things if you want to have them resolved quickly. That's the part you play in your college years. The hand holding stops after High School. All I can say is, relax a little and have some fun. At the end of the day grades won't show the strength of your character after all is said and done.Mounia B

It seems like professors like the one I got Professor Arnold who acts likes she is going through the motions and don't there . i felt I waste my time and money which I paid out of pocket in her class and is thinking about leaving the college. She is one of the worst teachers/professors i ever had . I think cause it a community college a lot of them are mad cause they can't teach in a four year college through out of the community colleges in NY LaGuardia is the best . That being said she is the third professors that I had that sleeps walks through their class and I had another one that did something that weren't cool and I didn't show up for her class and never got an apology from her. I say if you over 30 years like me this college is not for you. I never had problems with anything else in the college but the professors cause I expect more and I also think cause the college got a lot of non white american people that they slack a lot and that's sad.clyde sparks,jr

Im currently in my last year at LaGuardia (majoring in business) and i have to say the Business department is full of AMAZING professors. Classes are really easy (most of them except accounting unless you're good at it) and the students are cool. I, personally, never talked to anyone or made any friends because I'm not an outgoing person. The school is constantly going under renovations and they just finished the new library and it looks AMAZING, as if it was a library from an ivy league. Food isn't that great but what do you expect, its school food [not free of course]. For people who are curious about the diversity of this school, these are my personal percentages of what i see; 20% – Asian 20% – African American 30% – Hispanic 30% – White/European Overall, its a good school to just do your 2 years in and get out.Paul The Pigeon

I really can’t explain what I went through with the staff, so unprofessional and the attitude is horrible I always try to be as nice as possible but the way they treat people is awful. They literally screamed at my mom who does not speak any English for not having her vaccine card with her although she had picture of the vaccine but her phone was dead they yelled at her and did not try to help her enter the building at all. Once I came and approach them they was talking to me with awful attitude and yelling at me!!!!! although I respect the policy but they always could help in situation like this making everything 10X harder and unprofessional behaviour. Please Lehman collage train your employees and staff it’s just seem that they was not train at Enough to deal with people!!A

One of its kinda school Historic place as it is more than 100 year old school CUNY’S most iconic campus so far As building is quite old, construction is going on still it’s worth taking a walk here Lush green gardens and beautiful library plus awesome walkways and old concert hall and other buildings. Library staff is too friendly and easy going and so is the library too They have open tables with solar panels which is awesome Lots of environmental hazards are there which can be dangerous. Work need to be done on that for sure else it can have some dangerous results Overall a good place to come and seatTaksh Shah

Lehman College is a 4 year college. Offering over 50 majors in Biology, Accounting, Environmental Science, Journalism and more. Affordable tuition and an amazingly beautiful scenic campus. Staff is professional. For information regarding Financial Aid, Deadlines and General information contact college or visit their website. Located near public transportation.Natasha M Jordan

The college has won multiple awards from the CUNY system as well as other institutions for its ability to grant Associate's Degrees at an impressive rate and to foster continuing education at senior colleges. With a respectable teacher-to-student ratio, significant public and private funding, and a central location in New York City, the learning experience has been covered by many publications and studied by experts. However, BMCC also suffers from a large rise in remedial education, lack of freshman retention, and overcrowding. Due to its larger base of capital compared to most other two-year colleges, expansion of new campuses during the rebuilding of Fiterman Hall was possible. Several trailers are still used as classrooms to this day in order to help expand capacity. Internal programs have also been created or expanded to help with academic advisement, provide online access for registration, transferring to other colleges, and job placement. A diverse student base, some of whom had immigrated to America shortly before enrolling, also makes tailoring a viable solution difficult. Improving the retention and graduation rate as well as the increased financial and academic burdens of a remedial program still remain a considerable problem. The Center for Career Development (CCD) provides students with comprehensive career planning services. Its professional career counselors assist students in making informed decisions about an area of study; research occupations that match their personal interests; write a resume; practice interviewing, and help them prepare as candidates for internships and employment. Students also learn to clarify their career goals, develop effective communication and interpersonal skills, conduct job searches, and develop a digital portfolio for employers to view as evidence of their skills, accomplishments and professional qualifications. In addition, CCD partners with New York Needs You, the New York office of America Needs You, to host career-oriented events and seminars to bring industry insights to its students.Nesar Ahmed

edit, update: ended up coming to the conclusion that because all of this uncertanty and my bad living situation I am dropping out, I did all I could, was not met halfway by anone but professors unless I begged here. do not go here if you're poor. Just, no. I can't take it anymore. I've tried to explain my situation to this school multiple times, and I'm left to struggle on my own. I am starving, housing insecure, financially unstable, and unable to make ot to class or properly study because of financial struggle, inability to be alone a place quiet to study because they won't house, and depression. In the end they want to fail you out so you can pay them fees later, I guarantee. I'lll gladly take my review down if it's actually a thing they decide they really want to help me with, only after I have been actually helped, and not as in, money grant to help my situation I never recieve, or new housing program email I apply for and am swiftly rejected because I am not enrolled just enough just yet due to circumstances that are once again not entirely my fault because when I applied here I intended to be taking 16 credits not 7. A joke, an absolute waste of my time and so so much heartache.Jens Åhlund

Very diverse. You can see all kind of people over here. Most of the students and staff are friendly. Environment is good. Friendly neighborhood. If you are hungry, you can find all types of food around the building. It has 26000 student. It also has a big cafeteria, big library, big quiet study place for study and a lot more . All in all this is one of the best college.S M Shuvo

WORST.SCHOOL.EVER!! I hope they close down for good VERY SOON! There's no motivation or inspiration at all in this school whatsoever. The counselors and teachers are horrendous!! For every 5 teachers there, only 1 teacher is decent! They hold back their students far too long from achieving their true potential and don't even get me started on the atrocious time consuming and full of adversity enrollment process!! If you're still stuck taking a remedial/non credit class; instead of being able to register online LIKE IT SHOULD BE FOR EVERY STUDENT, you're instead forced to go all the way to Valhalla to register for classes EVERY semester until you've passed ALL their pointless non credited classes! Very excruciating and appalling for any student! Their counselors are always putting down students, not one can potentially uplift you when it comes to succeeding in school. This school is entirely all a scam. They will give you classes that do not pertain to your major and leave the big fat F on your transcript if you fail it, even if you're a Math and Science student that was given a social worker class that has absolutely nothing to do with your program!!!Toki Sing

Miserable place. Professors don’t care. They have people who don’t speak English teaching the math department. Those in the financial building are miserable, uninformative and rude. Nobody communicates!! Financial Tells you one thing and the counselors say something different. Totally unorganized and made my college experience a miserable one. They prioritize minorities and even questioned me on why I’m not on financial aid. Teachers WILL fail you if you don’t agree with their POLITICAL views. Community college is supposed to be affordable, but they manage to shake you down for every little penny. Save your time and money and go somewhere where they actually CARE about student success.Dev Langer

I was pretty skeptical about going back to school during this plandemic and now that I’m back in school, I wish I would’ve saved my money. The website says lab classes will be conducted online but it’s actually remote. If you want to pay full tuition for a partial education, then this is the place for you. The people who work in the administrative building specifically the Bursar’s office don’t care. The administrative building is physically closed so the only way to communicate is via email. I have been emailing the manager of the Bursar’s office, Marcia, for weeks to no avail. No one cares, they just want your money. A money sucking machine.Schneia Robinson

I started going to NYU dental clinic in October 2017 for a dental evaluation and any work that may be needed including one implant on the upper right quadrant which had been missing for several years. Five years and many visits later and I need more work than ever, and we are still nowhere close to replacing the tooth I originally came in for. Now that clinic has broken at least three other teeth that later needed to be removed and I’m now walking around with three missing teeth, and one half-broken-off tooth in need of extraction. With no treatment in the foreseeable future as their students will not even work on my teeth through no fault of my own. I often see ads for how great NYU College of Dentistry implants is, but they don’t tell people that it will take years to actually get one if ever. The students pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a dental degree at NYU and the school charges patients through insurance and private payments so they can practice but it treats the patients like dental training manikins. It takes weeks and sometimes months just to get an appointment and you have a bunch of follow-up appointments that could the rest of the semester to work on just one tooth. They take my blood pressure before starting a session, which has always been low as I exercise regularly and run 17-20 miles a week but all the damage they caused to my mouth required even more work than before and they wanted me to pay for the damage they caused. This resulted in a spike in blood pressure one time and asked me to leave and see a cardiologist which I did and after a battery of tests was told I was perfectly healthy. However, I refuse to go back to NYU Dental Clinic.Joseph vizzielli

It's the first time to go to dentist in the US and I was kind of nervous but my students were very nice and gentle. And sane students are in charge always you go.(If they graduate then different student will be.) Usually a junior and a senior student are one pair. And it is appreciative price not like super expensive dentists. Treatments may take time since students give you the treatments mostly with supervised the dentist professor only at the beginning or the end so I recommend you if you can be patient and give them enough time. Just one thing, I went here for a filling treatment and I didn’t feel any pain at all and I didn’t know what kind of filling procedure they will give me. Then the senior student gave me TWO anesthesia shots which were UNNECESSARY!! I couldn’t tell my filling was good or not because of numbness around my teeth and mouth so I had to go back one more time to adjust on different day. My mouth was uncomfortable during the period. So it’s better you ask them every time BEFORE they do treatment for your teeth.日福米豪

I have been trying to get an appointment here for over 2 years. Each time I call, I am told different things and that's only if they pick up. I was told by their staff I was indeed a good fit for their disability dental clinic. I was told they don't take medicaid despite it saying it on their own website. When I pointed that out to the receptionist, she snapped at me about how that's not in her control. I was just letting you know so someone could take it off the website if its not true and then people wouldn't call and waste your time asking if you take medicaid. But to add on to that, another receptionist said you DO take medicaid. This place is very confusing and disorganized. I really needed your services and the crazy thing is, I still do! The longer it takes, the more afraid I will be of the dentist. I just wish if you weren't gonna help, You would've been upfront, honest and not let me suffer in pain for a return call that never came. I really had faith in you.Angel Baby

I definitely recommend Bayside Orthodontics!!! I made the mistake with prior dentists and jumped into getting Invisalign and it definitely was not for me. I was a much better candidate for traditional braces. I made my consultation and was completely skeptical and nervous due to my previous issues. To my relief, the staff at Bayside Orthodontics was absolutely supportive and kind with all of my questions and walked me through the payment process. The office itself is very clean and spacious. Dr. Mizrahi truly makes you feel comfortable and confident. I explained all of my issues and concerns and felt at ease. He explained every step and gave me options that would set me up for success. I also got a cleaning with Dr. Chan-Ly's and my teeth have never felt better. I am now on my New Smile Journey with my adult braces!!!Diane Cadena

We have been coming to Bayside Smiles for about 6 months. The office is very well setup. It's very clean and the decor is almost spa like. It's relaxing and always feels good coming in. Dr. Anne Chan-Ly is very professional and always takes time to explain the procedures that are needed and why, as well as what she will be doing at each visit. We have been coming for general dentistry as well as my sons orthodontics. In the short time we have been here there has been a great improvement in his teeth. We are very satisfied and would highly recommend Dr. Anne for dentistry and orthodontics.Cromwell Vasconez

Dr. Anne Chan-Ly is a true professional with a kind heart. I was very pleased with how she treated my daughter who was very nervous about seeing an orthodontist. I fully recommend Dr. Chan-Ly without any reservations, our whole family is delighted to go to Bayside for such great service. If you are looking for a skilled dentist who is gentle, kind and caring look no further, it's here at Bayside Smiles. In addition, the office space is pristine and spa-like with new machines and technologies to distract all the discomforts of dental work for any child or grown up.Siritara Khurana

Very fast and professional service. My retainer broke so I was looking at different places, comparing the prices etc. This office was near my house so I gave them a call and they were able to fit me in within two days. I arrived at the clinic 5 minutes before my appointment and they took my temperature for covid purposes. I didn’t even need to sit down in the waiting area- I was immediately escorted into a room and was given an iPad to fill out basic demographics and insurance info. After I was done they took couple pictures of my teeth and the doctor came in within 10 minutes. He was very kind and attentive. Then my teeth were scanned- they don’t use molds anymore which was a plus because the mold process is really uncomfortable. They told me to come pick up my retainers in 4 days and I was given two sets (as a backup) for the price of one. The price was the icing on the cake. Everywhere I called or went- priced me ridiculously high but here was very reasonable and I had no problem with it. I highly recommend this place for any orthodontic procedures- very professional and friendly. Also the office is very clean and modern.Adeline Minjoo Jung

Hands down this is an amazing practice. I always feel so welcomed as I’m greeted with smiles. Dr. Abraham has an amazing personality and always make me laugh with his jokes and stories. My smile is absolutely amazing and exactly what I envisioned thanks to Avenue orthodontics. I have zero regrets for giving Dr. Abraham, Dr. Elani and their entire team full control of making my smile beautiful. I feel like I’m part of the orthodontic family. Thanks Avenue Orthodontics!! -Nikkinikki

Search no more! Avenue Orthodontics is your place to go for your orthodontic needs! Dr Abraham Chahine completed today my treatment with braces and I am really happy with my results! I always enjoy smiling and laughing but now with my perfectly straight teeth I can enjoy it a little more. My husband who is using the Invisalign treatment is also getting great results. Thankfully I took my braces off before him 😀Marina Tsantili

One of the brightest Dentists/people I know, Dr. Fulcher and his staff don't just do their job, they reach to do a great job consistently everyday because they want to. They care about you not just as a patient but as if you were family. This is an encouraging school that could help you to move forward in life if just starting out, or finding yourself wanting a change in pace or path, not only will you get the knowledge you need to graduate and further your career, but the relationships as well to help you understand that it's more than just knowledge of business, it's also knowledge of people.Clinton Reynolds

I attended 90 Day Dental Assisting and really enjoyed the classes and felt very prepared afterwards to go into the dental field. Dr. Fulcher has a great approach at teaching the information that not only helped you understand but also made it fun to learn. I appreciated the hands on experience afterwards with the guidance of the doctor so I could be prepared in the field. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to start a career in the dental field or looking to make a change.Amanda Reynolds

I love Dr. Fulcher! He gave me a quote for 1/3 the amount from another Dentist for a full mouth of NEW teeth. I have 12 crowns and 4 bridges and now smile with no apprehension. I get a lot of complements on my smile and teeth and love the work He has done for me. The staff is friendly and caring and met my every need. You cant go wrong with My Dental. I love my new smile. Was worth every penny.Tracy Sevey

Over the course of my two and a half years, I can wholeheartedly say that I am so satisfied with my results of my teeth after my braces. Dr. Z and his staff were always so kind and answered all the questions and helped assist me as best as they could throughout my braces journey. I was always seen on time, it was always very easy to make/cancel/reschedule appointments and everyone was always very accommodating. So happy with how my teeth now look, I reccomend this orthodontist if you need bracesShelby Paris

I really like how the office treats us, and the doctor is very knowledgeable. The office is very clean and everyone here is so kind and respectful. I’m glad I came here to begin my kids braces treatment, it was definitely worth the travel all the way from BK. From the bottom of my heart I am grateful for all the staff and all the support. This office is going places!! Also the receptionist are so wonderful and patient! It’s a dream come true!carlos narvaez

Dr. Z and his team are fantastic, there’s a reason why he has only 5 star reviews! He cares about his patients and the results speak for themselves. My teeth were a disaster before, I’m almost done with my treatment and the difference is night and day, I’m very pleased. I’ve been recommended by my co worker, and I’m glad that I went through it!Rob A.

Do not walk: RUN. I broke my tooth on a Friday night and the office manager Mary was able to accommodate me the very next day. From the moment I walked in-I knew I was in the right place. The entire staff was amazing and welcoming. I needed a complete dental reconstruction and was considering an alternative procedure but I was convinced to stay with Dr Corbin due to his expertise and artistry. Dr Corbin not only was able to save my teeth but also gave me an alternative option with Porcelain veneers. Highly recommended!Louis A Damato

Whenever I walk in everyone is always smiling and very friendly. I get a Hello from everyone. Dr. Kevin and Sue are outstanding. Had a try in for my bridge, which was beautiful. The staff is compassionate, professional and always deliverers tender loving care. Angela always greets with a smile and Mary, who is an absolute Angel, her door is always open. May always listens.Shelley Oliva

I am a nervous, anxious dental patient. The Corbin Dental “family” have been extremely kind and gentle with me. They show me where I have issues and explain what needs to be done. I thought I would be losing teeth after other dental recommendations but the folks at Corbin are saving my teeth! Thank you all!!! Best dental experience in a loooong time.Alanna Marie Gismero

My experience with diamond braces was amazing. My journey started about 5 years ago when I brought my daughter in for treatment. I was so happy with the results I decided to get treatment for myself as well because I also wanted to match the perfect teeth my daughter was flashing. From managers to staff to doctors they all work efficient and clean along with their professionalism was the perfect orthodonist treatment a person can ask for. I will recommend anyone that cares about their oral hygiene and want to have a prefect smile go to diamond braces for treatment , if you don’t you don’t you will be doing yourself a tremendous disservice. I now have a prefect smile.Gustavo Chauan

Diamond Braces made me comfortable the very first day. Today was my appointment to get fitted for my braces and Invisalign on January 26 2022 and the whole time it was a nice experience. Cristina B RDH was very nice to me , she took her time to explain to me. She’s very nice person she made me feel very comfortable . The overall experience Team at Diamond Braces was good to me.Diane Burchette

Literally the most friendliest staff, extremely knowledgeable and works with you to obtain your goal. I was a little nervous at first but they’re making my experience awesome. Clean safe environment , a must to check out for your orthodontic needs !!!!Abraham Hakim

This place is absolutely amazing. I am extremely picky about dentists because of fears as well as multiple bad experiences but everyone in this office is incredibly patient and kind. They're patient care is great and the work itself they do is great. I had to do a deep cleaning and fillings and it was perfect. they have the sweetest man for the front desk, he called after each one of my visits to see how I was doing. which I appreciate so much, I'm not sure if it is normal for all their patients or because they could see how nervous I was about the procedures but regardless, it's wonderful. the dentist and the staff makes me not want to go to another dentist ever again.Briana Bermudez

Every single person from front desk to Dr. Murdakhayeva herself was so kind, welcoming and efficient! I’ve been twice now and as someone who waited YEARS in between visits because of how much I hate the dentist, I have to say I’ve finally found a practice I’m super comfortable going to. They walked me through everything from procedures themselves to the insurance information and when I mentioned I was on a time crunch for a meeting during my first visit they kicked it into gear and had me home in time for my meeting with time to spare. I absolutely recommend MediDental and will be going back in time for my 6 month cleaning!!Caitlin Humphrey

I've been having my Dental work done at MediDental Care from their beginning. So much $$$$ money has been invested in this state of the art facility. The best equipment & machinery to ensure all procedures are done perfectly. They have exceptional Dentists/ Dental Assistants & adminstrative staff. From setting your appointment, examination, work performed & payments. They are always ready for the next step to help you. By far, this is the best Dental Care Facility I've been to. 💯 percent trust I have with MediDental.Paul Abbate

The best experience! From the minute I walked into perfect smile I was treated with love and care. Every staff is super attentive with all of your needs. I ran a journey of 4 years with braces with perfect smile and they never failed to confirm appointments and accommodate me if I missed one. Today I removed my braces and Vicmelys along with Dr.Tanksley treated me amazing. Definitely recommend this practice to anyone looking into braces!Kimberly rosario

I started my Invisalign process last year and just completed my treatment. I am so overly happy with my results and the treatment that I’ve received at Perfect Smile braces. My teeth are straight and I have no complaints. My process was fast, thorough, and painless. They provide constant reminders about your upcoming appointments and keep you updated with your treatment the entire time. I have referred my sister here as well 😀Tianni Wilson

Very nice place, nice and friendly staff, the orthodontist and the nurses/assistant were very professional and helpful during the process. It’s was a pleasant experience and the environment is very clean and safe during the height of the Covid. I’m pleased with the results of the treatment and I would highly recommend this clinic for installment of braces. Also shout out to the staff who calls to remind me of my appointment!Dee Cee

I was extremely impressed with my experience at the Smilist Dental office. My first point of contact was making the appointment. All of the medical & background information was available in an easy to complete format on my I-phone in advance of my appointment. It is important to understand that a smooth administrative process is critical to ‘’first-impressions’’ – and the Smilist team proved itself as a first class operation. When I showed up for my appointment, I was greeted pleasantly by the reception team and there was absolutely no waiting. The dentist – Dr Joseph and the dental assistant were courteous and professional. Within a few short minutes the Dr. Joseph identified my dental issue – assessed my needs and within minutes completed a procedure to relive my dental problem. Dr Joseph was very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment / procedure! I was in and out of the office in no-time and completely satisfied. I would highly recommend the Smilist medical group!!!!Anton Schubert

Excellent place. Easy visit without paper work / insurance nightmares. Treatment went smooth- no pain. Thank you to the crew at Whitestone Smilist Visit 2 – All went well. Expected discomfort is subsiding quickly. Front desk folks are sharp and get the paper work done quick. Smooth running show.- I’m good. Visit 3 – Excellent crew at front desk. Very pleasant, have all paperwork ready to go. The in chair work went smooth without any serious discomfort. Great practice.anthony firriolo

My son recommended Smilist – so I looked up all the reviews which were great and decided to give it a try. I had a toothache, and they saw me in less than 24 hours as a new patient! I was very pleased. I was early – they took me in right away and my dentist Dr. Ellen Morrisey (sp) was patient, gentle, thorough and compassionate. I’ve Already recommended her to a colleague and I’ll be going back to have all my work done. Great place. Great service, skilled doctor. 10.Cathleen Williams

This is by far the best dental academy in the Tampa Bay Area. Let me just start out by saying a big thank you to my instructors Teresa and Bobbi for teaching me and guiding me on the right path to become the best dental assistant I can be. If you are looking for a fun, caring and educational School, this is where you should be! The School revolves around its students. There is so much passion that goes into the way these teachers teach. The teachers are always willing to help in any area you may be having trouble with. Academy for dental assisting is always there for you through your whole process of becoming an EFDA. The curriculum is developed in the best way possible to help you as a student gain the education and proper training you will need to become an EFDA. The director of the academy Ronda, is wonderful as well. She makes an appoint to drop into the class without disruption to say “hi”, answer any of our questions and make us feel welcomed. I am highly satisfied with academy for dental assisting. If you’re considering going to school to become a DA, honestly look no further because you’re right where you were meant to be!Belinda Yohn

I’ve been a dental assistant for 33 years. I moved to Florida from Ohio and needed to get the Florida EFDA and X-ray certifications. I was so nervous to take the tests but I didn’t need to be. The instructor ( thank you Theresa!! ) and office manager ( Thank you Brooke) were so nice and funny and helpful. Once I entered the classroom Theresa had us relaxed and laughing. She took the time to get to know each of us. The class size was small so all of us girls were able to feel comfortable working with everyone. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. By far this is the best dental school I’ve ever been to and would highly recommend anyone take their classes or certification courses.Kasey Dreaden

This is the best school ever. They care so much about you and try all the possibles ways, so you can get the lesson and what they are trying to teach. My instructors Ms. Kathy and Ms. P. Jai are beyond any expectations about what a good instructor looks like. The care so much about the students and the way they teach is 100% understandable. I am going to miss them so much… I really enjoy my time there and I would recommend it 100% and beyond. If you are thinking to take this school as your, don’t have any doubts about it is the best decision ever. Take the Saturday class and the success is 100% warranty.Evelyn Dopico

Dr. Backer is truly an excellent dentist. My wife, my son and I have been patients of his for several years now and have consistently received superb services, visit after visit. He habitually walks you through his process and explains and/or answers any questions you may have. I have always had a really low tolerance for pain relative to dental procedures, yet he has a way of keeping me very calm, no matter how complex the procedure. Typically, I am totally unaware that he has rectified a particular matter because I wait for pain that never occurs. Over the years, I have grown to learn not to expect pain during his procedures. He is quite awesome and always pleasant. He is a six star dentist!Boris Drew

I was a patient of Dr. Backer for years in Brooklyn. I always received great service. I then moved to NJ. I decided to try to find someone local. I did and used this new dentist for about 6 months. The difference in attention to detail and expertise became pretty clear. Needless to say, I have returned to Dr. Backer despite the longer commute. Dr Backer takes pride in his work, has exceptional bedside manners (he really knows his patients on a personal level) and does exceptional work. He is by far the best dentist I have been to.Scott Dennis

Every time I go for a cleaning, I am greeted with a helpful and kind staff and dentist. I always have a wonderful conversation with Dr. Backer from how is everything to the condition of my teeth. Dr. Backer will mention what he notices on my teeth and provide helpful feedback and tips such as on how to clean your teeth better. Dr. Backer does a great job cleaning my teeth. I always have a great experience and I highly recommend this dentist office.HX L.

The dentists are rude here, I have no cavities I am 45 years old but yellowing in teeth. I regularly brush my teeth still for crowding or coffee they get yellow. The dentist was saying over and over you don’t brush. I went 3 times to get rid of plaques. Her comments about hygiene so rude. The last dentist was good at cleaning and so quick. Staffers are nice tho.Hey Oh

I was super amazed how friendly and courteous their staffs were! You can see how passionate they are in delivering excellent dentals services. The dentist was able to clearly explain to me the procedures that I need to undergo. Will definitely recommend this to my friends!Kreena P.

Not satisfied with the cleaning and was so quick & i guess the dental assistant is having bad day.. They did two fillings but they dont explain to me what why did that? I need to ask if them if im done? They should take time to show to the patient the xray result.jero un

A friend referred me to this location for braces for my daughter. It has been pretty good so far. They take our coverage and we only had to make a few copays to cover the retainer. The visits are usually pretty quick, even though sometimes we have to wait awhile before she is seen. The location is accessible by public transportation and there is a target parking lot nearby. It's also wheelchair accessible. We only have one issue. We moved recently and wanted to find out about transferring to another location. It looks like that's not going to work out for us due to our coverage and authorizations it something like that. So, we plan our visits accordingly and schedule for days when we're visiting family. It's a good spot.Eubie Toro

Always quick and efficient. I have envisalign and loving the results so far. But I still have several months left and I am concerned about my gaps. They have not closed much. Update. I am on my final trays. I am told that the initial reason I came in, to close gaps in my front teeth could not be accomplished due to receding gums. My gums were receding when I came in for my consult but none of that was mentioned then. On the contrary, I was told a correction was guaranteed because it was minor. Well over one year year i get this news. Thanks for nothing. I still have my gaps and lost out on over 2k. Extremely disappointed. I should get a partial refund.Keila Z

1st visit for evaluation for my daughter and worst impression ever, our appoinment was set for 9:00 am, and we were waiting there for about one hour, I asked a few time why customers who had appoinments after us were attendanted 1st, she (the recepcionist) explained me they were there for aligment and they didn't have a person for evaluation yet, but the recepcionist had a great customer service and also offerted me to do the evaluation by her self (because she is in training), I was there for a full professional expirience but founded a huge dessapointing expirience. At the end just left with a feeling of emptyness for loosing one our of my time.Yliana Cruz

I started seeing Dr. Sood this year because the insurance recommended to me and the truth is I do not regret it, I am a Dental Assistant and honestly he does a Great Job. He is very kind and answer everything you need to know, his work team is a charm! If I had the opportunity, I would work there too!Iriana Cano

This has been my primary dentist office for the last two years and I could not be happier. The entire staff is kind, respectful and extremely informative. Very short wait time, and thorough teeth cleanings! Would definitely recommend visiting if your looking for a new dentist.Karla Medina

My wisdom tooth broke in half the day after Thanksgiving, needless to say the pain was excruciating. After many calls to many dentists telling me I would have to wait until mid January for emergency surgery I was feeling totally hopeless and miserable. Really at my wits end!!! I visited a dental location in the bronx that was supposed to be a walk in clinic and they were closed. Even more bad luck…so I googled and found an emergency dental service who connected me to Always Smile Dental. And I have to say I had an amazing experience. I quickly made an appointment for 11 AM (the appointment was made around 8:30 that same morning). I drove on over to Queens and went in to the office about an hour early. I was the first patient in and they saw me right away. So I don’t recall anyone’s names (I’m so sorry I was in pain 😩) but the receptionist/assistant was so so so so sweet and welcoming. She had me fill out paperwork right away. After doing this the dentist had her take some initial x rays so he could see what was going on. He also had a very kind, and welcoming personality. Both were very gentle with me and you can tell they their patients. He went over options with me and gave me his best recommendation. I didn’t feel pressured in any way to do anything I wasn’t willing to do at that time. He told me to go pick up my meds get some food and come back later that day to see the oral surgeon for extraction. I did as he instructed and when I returned a little early I waited until exactly when he said and the surgeon was there right on time. He was also very kind, professional, gentle and caring. He and his assistant (total sweetheart also!) numbed me up very very well I didn’t feel a thing. Which I was afraid of naturally…the entire procedure probably took all of 20 minutes? Maybe less..I don’t know I wasn’t keeping track. But the relief I felt afterwards was well worth it…all in all I say this team is completely professional and beyond capable. I was so lucky to find them in a pinch and receive same day service. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family for any dental services. Thank you Always Smile Dental!!!Michaella Fahnbulleh

This place is VERY patient with their customers. I was running late on the train for my 6pm appointment and I kept providing them updates and they kept accommodating me each time. When I arrived I noticed that the place was spotlessly clean. The staff were EXTREMELY courteous, friendly and assisted me throughout the sign-up process. The best part about this place is that they WORK WITH YOU every step of the way. The doctor himself is very professional but at the same time after the X-ray examination he guided me and informed me of several options that I could choose from, leaving me with a chance to make my own decision based on my personal choices. I will be returning at a later date to have my tooth pulled out as this is the best option for my needs. I will update this review at that timeDakota Xu

Yesterday was my first visit, there wasn't any dental work provided. Other than x-rays, discovery questions and answers, as well as antibiotics prescribed for an infection. I can't comment on their dental work as of yet. Dr. Albert Malakov, comes across as a no nonsense concerned professional. His daughter Dr. Alevtina Malakov, may be the rising star of the business. She has the gift of healing in her manner of speaking. If their dental work matches, my initial impression of their character's. I'll retain them as my dentist's, and give them a better rating in the future.Henry Rios
