20 Best Dental Assistant Programs In Manhattan, 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

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 was looking for a new dentist and I googled and found Manhattan Dental Design. Since living in New York for college I’ve never really had a dedicated dentist but I’ve officially made this place my primary. The dental assistant was great and very kind and she knew exactly what was needed every step of the way. Dr. Ernest Tchoi was a great guy and very attentive to all of my concerns. At the end of the day I still hate going to the dentist but they made my experience a lot more tolerable.Emmanuel Derisse

I'm incredibly pleased with the service here! I went in today for 2 tooth extractions, was seen within a few minutes, and Dr. Tchoi's bedside manner is excellent. He regularly asked me how I was doing during the extractions and made me feel very comfortable. The office was clean and the receptionist was really nice.Alice Winter

Friendly staff, excellent results, and great location. I’m really happy that a great place like this exists steps from the 1 and A trains at 59th Street Columbus Circle. Will be a client here for years to come. Rest assured, you’re in good hands!Elie M

I went to Dr Rubinoff because she was close to where I live. I arrived pre pandemic with broken veneers that were 15 years old. Then, Covid hit and they were closed- not awful since I was wearing mask and once things started re-opening she invited me back in with all the precautions. taken and she laid out all my options. I could do this piece by piece, top then bottom, or all at once and I de cided to get it all done at once. We began the process of getting my mouth ready for a full set of crowns. It took some time, a root canal, and lots of impressions they took the time to do it right. They had beautiful crowns made for me and she put them all in. Once done, I was upset that I had to continue to wear a mask and hide my gorgeous teeth! I continued to get them cleaned there regularly and when masks came off, my friends and family noticed my teeth right away. I return regularly for my cleanings! Mouth/teeth care is important and expensive. I am not going to trust it to a dental club- I want the one on one communication and attention that I get at Devine Smiles with Dr Rubinoff.Susan Green

DR RUBINOFF IS AMAZING!! From regular check-ups to my invisalign treatment. She is very professional, courteous and kind. She explains the process very well and will work with you in terms of what insurance covers and what you can afford. I’ve already recommended her to my friends and also, she helped my sister when her tooth chipped when she fell!! Often we ignore the health of our teeth but they are more important than we realize. Any investment to it can only make it better. I love my smile even more now and she’s an enormous part of it. Thank you Divine Smiles!!Pristine Del Rosario

Dr Rubinoff is the tooth whisperer! I had a amazing crown done by her 12 years ago, then she left the practice I frequented and I regrettably didn't follow her. Several dentists later I found her again and visited her state of the art clinic in Manhattan for a tooth restoration. Her work is as exceptional as ever, if not better. I'm so glad to have found you again Dr.Rubinoff! Do not deprive yourself of the opportunity to receive considerate and expert work at the hands of a passionate professional.Diana Nahim

I decided to change my dentist, and I 100 do not regret choosing this dentist. The receptionist is so welcoming, super sweet, and professional. The dentist made me feel very comfortable, and my teeth have been the best since I came here. I used some have some Tartar on my teeth which I struggled with for years. They cleaned it, and my teeth felt so clean and refreshed. Also, I caused a little chip on my teeth when I was nine years old, making me insecure when I took pictures. Without mentioning anything about it, the dentist brought it up and made me get an appointment to fix and refill it asap after over a decade of having a chipped tooth. I one million recommend this placeKemi Bablo

I have been a client of Sachar Dental for around 3 years now and I couldn’t be happier with my dentist. Everyone is personable and welcoming from the front desk, to the hygienist (shoutout Amy), and to Dr. Sachar. Anytime I have had to reschedule, change insurance, or any other life quirk to throw off my dental experience, Sachar dental has made this process easy on my end and flawless on their end. To top things off, the professionals at Sachar Dental let me know exactly how to improve my dental health and provide a comfortable experience while in the chair.Tyler LaSalle

Sachar dental is the best dental office! The service is fantastic, efficient and on point! I completed my Checkup, Cleaning and In-Office Teeth bleaching here and it was the best experience ever! My teeth have never felt better and my smile has never been whiter. All of the staff starting from the Friendly Front desk ladies, down to all of the doctors and assistants in the back are beyond professional and very Sanitary. Very efficient. I would Highly recommend Dr.Sachar and Sachar dental 🙂 !Ash Lee

If I could give this office 6 stars I would! From the minute my husband and I arrived for our appointments as new patients the entire staff was very welcoming. Drena at the front desk greeted us both and check in was super easy as we had done all our paperwork prior to the visit. I came in for a full evaluation and cleaning and was surprised when the hygienist Sarah explained I needed a bit more then a cleaning. She was BEYOND kind, thorough and walked me through every step of the procedure taking her time to check on me and make sure I was comfortable and okay every step of the way. My husband had his cleaning done with Monserrat who was equally as amazing! Our cleanings were AMAZING! They took their time and did the work we both needed. We both were visited by Dr.Reich who was so great! He also explained in detail everything that needed to be done, walked us through the current plan and the future plan for both of our dental plans! I have never felt so informed ever! I was with the same office for 4 years and have never felt so good about a visit. Lastly, Linda the practice Manager visited us both, walked us through the procedures again to be sure we understood everything as well as all of our insurance questions. All in all GREAT experience and will be sharing this gem with everyone! Thank you to the entire Arch staff!Nicole L

Such a great office to be around! I was amazed by the positive atmosphere spread though out the office. Dr. Reich and his team were super friendly and took the time to answer all my questions and concerns. The front desk staff were super sweet and amazing, especially Drena. She makes you feel at home with just her smile! Dr. Reich made sure that I was feeling relaxed and comfortable. When I was having problems with my teeth, I left Dr. Reich office a voicemail and immediately received a call the very next day. Even though he was out of town on vacation he still helped me out by prescribing me medication and recommending another dentist to go to in case of emergency. He even gave me his personal cellphone number if to call if I had any more issues or concerns. It was so nice to see him care this much for a patient while being away. Going into this office I never feel like just another patient, I feel the care, love, and respect.  I could not have asked for a better dentist!Jannatul ARSHAD

As someone who is terrified of dentists and had avoided going to one because of this , let me tell you arch dental was the best decision I ever made. Every staff member makes you feel at ease and comfortable from the second you walk in the door. They are accommodating to crazy schedules and are a breath of fresh air to deal with . Both the dentist and the hygienist were very understanding of my fear and did everything in their power to make me feel comfortable. They allowed me to take multiple breaks and gave me options for pain relief and sedation so that I could get everything done. I can’t recommend them enough , look no further you’ve just found your new dentist.Meghan McCord Millar

I have no idea how this office got 4.9 stars. I felt obliged to write down my real experience. Last year, I went to the office for a regular teeth cleaning and was recommended to do two regular filings and an inlay filing. In less than a year, one regular filing and the inlay both fell out! The same thing happened to my colleague. He was recommended to replace the crown. In less than a year, his crown also fell out. Both of us has stopped visiting this office. The office I currently go to only has 30+ reviews and an average score of 4.5. But the doctor is 10x better. To me, the doctor at this office are very aggressive but unfortunately unqualified. Google review can be manipulated. I highly recommend you ask for a second opinion when doing anything other than regular dental cleaning.K Z

Detailed, thorough, considerate, and easy. The friendliness and courtesy of the staff and Dr. Randhawa made my fear of visits to the dental office a thing of the past. Totally felt welcomed and comfortable in the hygienic space. Left with a bunch of practical and easy to assimilate tips to keep my teeth healthy and clean. Did not feel like it was a push for future visits, genuine in their approach to customer satisfaction. Grateful I took the step into this first cleaning after ten years without seeing a proper dentist. Highly recommend for timid folks like myself!francis yu

Dr. Randhawa and her team are extremely professional and courteous. Procedure costs are fair and she does well at explaining her procedures in a way that’s easy to understand. The dental assistants are intelligent, friendly and do well to help you feel comfortable. The front desk associates are very kind and are helpful with answering questions and booking. Highly recommend this office for great dental work and service with a smile!Mitch Granger

This office and Dr. Etess saved me! I was visiting NYC on a trip when an old filling (from a different dentist) started to go bad and ache. I called on Friday AM and Karen at the front desk squeezed me in during Dr. Etess’ lunch break. He was kind, informative and hilarious (should definitely be a standup comedian) – gave me a brand new biomimetic filling that afternoon, and his cell number so I could call or text over the weekend if I had a problem. Wish I lived in the city so I could see him all the time!Hilary Smith

What can I say? They are the dentist of the future if the future actually cared about preventing disease rather than treating it. You will learn things about the health of your mouth that you have never been told before. They are probably the reason why I don't have periodontal disease at the moment. I always leave the appointment feeling like I did something good for myself by simply going and getting their state of the art cleaning.Camille Marie

Switched from a regular dentist to this more holistic dental practice. If you’re looking for a practice that will help you prevent dental issues instead of just fixing, this is your place.Reem

Bunch of things that went down for me here. 1. They said my insurance does not cover ceramic/white filling. (I’ve one of the best insurance out there). Kept charging me for out of pocket for 8 visits. Until 6 months later, I accidently logged into my insurance account only to see that my insurance had refunded the clinic for all my filling. When I contacted them, the front desk said oh we did not check and reluctantly gave me a check back. 2. They made holes and digged out the smallest possible minor cavities and made unnecessary bills. My new dentist says most of this was absolutely not required. I left this clinic for good. I wish I knew earlier could have saved a ton of pain, discomfort and money.priya harish

Amazing doctors, and staff. Every time my husband and I go for an annual exam or any treatment the care given is always extraordinary. As soon as we walk through the door we are greeted with kindness and understanding. The receptionists, technicians and the doctors all communicate with each other and with us in terms of our plan of care. It’s just such a caring and warm environment when we go. We always leave very satisfied and happy.olesya zhezherya

I’ve been going to Soho dental group since they opened, and love it. The office is great- sparkling clean and modern, and the staff are absolute pros. I just had the best and most painless cleaning I’ve ever received, Which is huge because I have such sensitivity in my mouth. I enjoy going there so much, that I’ve convinced my elderly parents to switch to Soho dental group as well, and they couldn’t be happier.Janna Dvilyanski

I’ve been coming to Beautiful Smiles for over 2 years now, from different locations and different insurance plans. Their service is top notch and somewhere you always want to come back to. The doctors are caring, professional, and I never feel rushed. They are very patient in explaining procedures and making plans for my teeth that fit my wants, budget, and coverage. I’ve been lucky enough to have Tatsiana for my hygienist, and she is amazing. Getting your teeth cleaned is no fun, but she makes the appointment fly by. I really appreciate that reception is so communicative and friendly. They always schedule appointments, do follow ups, make sure I know the cost, and deal with me being unprofessional and late. I’m very pleased to be a Beautiful Smiles client and would recommend it if you are looking for a dentist office who cares about their clients and provide a fine service. I love Beautiful Smiles!Marissa Farr

I have been going to Beautiful Smiles for about six years now and I can't stress enough how happy I have been with them. I've even stayed with them long after my office moved from Midtown to Tribeca! The staff is very friendly and treats me like family. Their facilities are very clean (I was particularly impressed at the height of the pandemic) and I have always been happy with the service. Tatsiana is normally my hygienist and I feel like we're good friends by now 🙂 I highly recommend them to anyone seeking new dental services!Christin Marks

Beautiful Smiles is the BEST. They are quick and efficient and lovely people. I picked them because they were 2 blocks away from my job, but I stayed because of how great they all are at what they do. They take hygiene very seriously (especially important post pandemic) which I appreciate. From the admins, hygienists, to dentists they just all are fantastic and work seamlessly together. I love that I can get my cleanings done during my lunch hour and still actually have time to spare to get a quick bite to eat.Katherine Rivera

I got to the place and there was a sign to text a number to start my appointment. No one answered my text, so I just went in. I was greeted by a nice girl at the front desk. I waited about 20 minutes beyond my appointment time and was then called back. The representative who worked with me was super sweet, explained everything well, and didn't rush me at all. I would highly suggest this place as of now and will provide an updated review after my treatment is complete!Ash (Asheetos)

Absolutely avoid. Glitzy packaging, and some initial results – a few weeks in aligners have obvious fit problems. After too many e-mails weeks (if not months) ago, still no solution offered. Meanwhile, payment proceeds as usual. Also, impossible to get someone on the phone (hours of wait, talking to someone for a second before being redirected and more wait). Cannot stress how much I do not reccommend them.Roberto Strillacci

I went for my 360 scan yesterday and was greeted at the door upon my arrival. The young woman that helped me was Giovana. She was very informative and clear in her explanations. She made me feel relaxed and comfortable. We even shared a few laughs. I recommend you visit this Smile store and have Giovana help you. I can't wait to start my Smile journey.Myra Riollano

Dr. Newgard gets a Five Star rating in my book! She is a kind, professional, highly skilled dentist who gets the job done quickly, effectively and with excellent results. Dr. Newgard is knowledgeable in her field and has a calm demeanor, as does her team. They fill the room with confidence and positive energy the minute you walk into the room. This is vital to any patient, but especially true for those experiencing anxiety or discomfort in the dentist chair. Dr. Newgard takes the time to explain procedures and answer questions. She is excellent at providing feedback when contacted and takes the time to listen. I would highly recommend Dr. Newgard to anyone seeking the best in dental care.Irma Rosario

I was scared. I had not been to the dentist since right before the pandemic. I thought there was a lot of work to be done then. I was wrong. I do need to go back for a new crown and one small cavity. I had my teeth cleaned. The relief I felt after the visit was incredible. It didn’t hurt. It was an enlightening experience. Face your fears. It is probably not as bad as you think.Laurie Mitchell

So Yeun Lee is a great dental hygienist. Super kind, friendly and, listened carefully to all the details I discussed with her about my teeth. She also did a great job in cleaning my teeth. She took her time and didn't rush me. I would certainly go back to her!Lida Rahimi

Please don't try this service, not good to your teeth. It gave you a professional sense at the first time but later turned out the service itself is not scientifically tested. I just have a very small issue to fix in my front teeth, after 2-month wearing their aligners, it got worse and resulting in creating spaces between my teeth, which is SO TERRIBLE. And I didn't get fixed until now. Not to mention you have to use the retainer LIFETIME after you started wearing their aligners. The retainers are very expensive to re-order like you have to continue paying this company money in your whole life. And they are just some 3d printed plastic retainers. Anyone can print it at home (cost like $2) if they have the 3d model of their teeth, but it costs like $200 for only 3 retainers which is so ridiculous. They don't give you the 3d model of course. You have to frequently change your retainer cause it got out of shape after weeks of wearing. Overall, I highly don't recommend this service or the company. Still suffering from the spaces they created between my teeth!!!Leann Lee

I’ve never posted a negative review, but this is just ridiculous. Do not use smile direct club. I started May 2021 where I was on a 8 month night plan. As the end was approaching, I was not happy with my result and submitted a request to have adjustment aligners. The request was initially approved and I then requested the new imprint kit – it never came. I did this 3 times. I reached out a dozen times over the course of 6 months and was completely ignored. I called and was on a waiting list for 45 min then was disconnected. I have requested my money back and I have not heard from anyone. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement, it’s feels like a complete scam. Smile direct – if you want to look into the matter and the requests that were not resolved, the key ticket numbers are 05814537, 05695009, 05672625, 05566581, 05629489 and the original “doctor” assigned to me was Dr. Gary Moore.Bryn Khoury

I purchased a set of nighttime aligners from the Smile Direct Club back in 2019. While I’m happy with the results, dealing with the company has been an absolute nightmare. I was recently prodded to purchase a spare set of retainers and did so. The problem though is that the Smile Direct Club made them based on my original 2019 scans and not the more recent impressions from 2022 which were needed after having dental work. They used those impressions to make my current retainers in March 2022 which fit perfectly. I explained this in multiple emails and spent close to an hour on the phone today with them. No one seems to understand how to fix this. It’s simple, make a new set of retainers using the 2022 impressions, the same as the last sent shipped to me. I’m not confident at all that this will be resolved. I’m beyond frustrated.Jeffrey Williams

Good for basic cleaning and stuff and do not recommend their oral surgeon. Visited the oral surgeon twice and none of it was a good experience. First time I was told I needed full body numbing for a wisdom tooth extraction and that wouldn't be covered by insurance. However, second opinion told me it's possible to do local numbing. In addition, was asked for additional exams during the consultation for $450 out-of-pocket cost (not covered by insurance of course) which I don't think it's necessary on after thought. Second time I visited to see if I could do local numbing for my wisdom tooth extraction, I waited for 30 mins and was told the doctor was performing a surgery. Overall bad experience for complex dental procedures. But recommend their cleaning service. Quick and efficient.Huan Kang

I went to Soul Dental for a root canal consult yesterday and had such a great experience! Dr. Park immediately identified the problem with my tooth and even performed the necessary root canal that day. He took his time to make sure it was done well, and his calm demeanor alleviated any potential nerves I had about the procedure. This was my first root canal, so I didn’t know what to expect, but it was such a breeze and totally painless. I had zero pain after the procedure (just a bit of jaw soreness from having my mouth open) and I have complete confidence in Dr. Park and his team.Sophia Purut

I've received great treatment here on a variety of fronts — routine cleaning, fillings, and most recently a tough crown lengthening and onlay installment on a hard-to-reach tooth. Special shout outs to Dr. Olga who performed this challenging procedure. She was patient and exhibited great bedside manner when it took quite a few attempts to achieve a conducive numbing state. Dr. Podolsky also did an excellent job with my gum surgery. Highly highly recommend.Shi Zhang

Due to different definitions of what constitutes preventative dental treatment between my insurer Cigna and Zara dental, upon review of my post appointment Explanation of Dental Benefits statement, I was stunned to see a customer responsibility balance. This was very upsetting and another sad reflection of the state of healthcare in America. Dr. Omar was generous and kind enough to absorb this balance making my first visit to her practice everything I had hoped for – x-rays, cleaning, and exam actually covered by the insurance I pay a monthly premium for. Thank you again for your service.Matt Kellen

I highly recommend Zara Dental. Dr Omar is very professional and gentle in her treatment in addition to being very kind. Her team is very good, very friendly and very organized. I did Invisalign with her and had a great experience with a very fair price. My 2 old daughter did a first visit with Dr Omar and it was amazing. She didn't cry and was very excited to clean the teeth of the stuffed animals they had for her. She's now excited everyday to clean her teeth at home after the experience.Jane Hunt

Whenever I go for an appointment, I never have to wait more then a few minutes. The staff is always friendly, and make the whole process easy. At all of my previous dentists, I would spend most of my appointment with the hygienist, and only see the dentist for a few minutes. However, every time I have been to Zara, Dr. Omar cleans my teeth herself and spends time talking to me about any concerns I have. It is truly a practice that focuses on customer service and patient wellbeing.Michelle Beauregard

I look forward to my bi-annual appointments with Dr. Igor for my cleanings and check-ups! The atmosphere is very low key and chill. The work Dr. Igor does with my teeth is always thoughtful and gentle. I feel so at ease in the dental chair that I almost doze off each visit, which makes for quite a relaxing experience. This clinic and all its staff are wonderful. Everyone is very easy going, professional and efficient with scheduling and the time I spend at the office. I highly recommend Dr. Igor and his team. Love this dentist!Sonah Lee-Lassiter

Just got back from this office. When I tell you they were efficient and so gentle. My cavity broke while I was there and they gave me a quick fix. I'm going back tomorrow to get a permanent fix. The hygienist was so nice and explained everything before we started. Dr. Igor is the most gentle dentist I've had. He didn't tell me I needed all this work done just stuck to what actual needed to be fixed. I've already recommended him to all my coworkers. Will be happy to return for a cleaning in 6 months.Channing Thomas

Dr. Cho was an excellent doctor. I really enjoy being in offices that are thorough and explain all the information about diagnosis and needs as much as possible- Dr. Cho checked all the boxes and then some. Crystal, at the front desk, was very helpful and through with my questions surrounding insurance. I felt very at ease at the office and loved the TVs in the room- really helps distract you while they’re working on your teeth. Looking forward to this being my primary dentist going forward.Julian Kingston

I was so pleasantly surprised at how friendly and helpful everyone was! From the moment I walked in the door, Stephanie cheerfully greeted me and quickly check me in. Tamara helped with my X-rays and when it was feeling uncomfortable, incorporated small breaks for me to rest, she wasn’t trying to rush me through it to wrap up quickly. Taylor my hygienist was amazing! So helpful and communicative, explaining what she was about to do and the after the cleaning, exactly what was going on with my teeth She gave suggestions on things I could do to improve or things to watch out for, and why those steps would be valuable. She never passed judgement on my behaviors and instead encouraged me to do better by clearly articulating the risks. Dr Chang quickly helped check over all the info and get me on my way. Thank you for a wonderful visit, highly recommend!Kelsey Lee

What can I say… Dental Serenity of Manhattan is unlike any other dental office I’ve ever been to. I was warmly welcomed by the manager Tamara & Stephanie who was so helpful from answering all my questions to helping me with my dental anxiety. Taylor, the hygienist was so knowledgeable & so bubbly. I loved how she calmed me down. She really cleaned my teeth and showed me the before and after pictures of my cleaning. I had such a VIP experience here. I’ve never been so happy with a dental office anywhere else. I will keep coming jere for many years to come. I would recommend anyone to come here!Connie Romero

I have been going to this dentistry for several years now–Dr. Chang is a true gem! I have also had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Keh who is simply wonderful. Everything here is state of the art and there is a true attention to detail. The hygienist, Taylor will have your teeth sparkling clean! The courtesy and professionalism exhibited from the front desk is always welcomed and appreciated. Shout outs to Tamara and Stephanie! You really feel like you are part of the family here and these ladies definitely go above and beyond.Anastasia Morsucci

Dr. Flores and his team have repeatedly shown compassion and flexibility. They were not judgmental about my oral care and helped me address a number of issues with patience and skill. Getting part of your mouth numbed when at the dentist is sometimes par for the course; Dr. Flores has an extremely light hand – I won't say you won't feel it, but it's a significantly better experience with him than dentists in the past. The whole team is friendly and thorough, willing to patiently talk you through your options, a procedure, or insurance questions. Open on Saturdays as well for those of us with busy schedules during the week.Tyler Hanson

Great dental practice! Just moved to NY and researched a lot of dental offices before deciding on Thyme. As a new patient my experience has been excellent. I had an urgent crown replacement to take of and was seen the day after calling. All of the staff I’ve met have been very helpful, professional, and friendly. Dr Flores is very thorough and explained my options. He is very sensitive to patient comfort and a very skillful dentist. The admin staff explained payment options and a care program providing benefits that I decided to join. I can highly recommend this practice.Jeff Lindberg

I had significant pain in my mouth and needed to see someone urgently. After doing a Google search I found Thyme Dental Care and all the fantastic reviews. I called Thursday late day and booked an appt for Saturday morn. I ended up needing a root canal and while it can be terrifying to trust a stranger to drill in your mouth, I felt completely safe and confident with Dr. Park. She and the team are top notch, and I feel quite fortunate to have found such a high quality and caring dental office. I will be using them for my general dentistry as well.Stephanie Penner
