Best Dentist I have visited since moving to New York 10 years ago. Great care and attention throughout. Quickly addressed my problem. Will be my Dentist going forward.

The office was under construction and there was dust everywhere. It was a different dentist that saw me. He took my xray and said I had 4 cavities but then after he did the exam he didn’t say anything about them, I had to ask him and he said oh they weren’t actually cavities.

Dentist seemed overwhelmed by the dental work I needed done. Now I’m considering finding another provider who will listen to my needs and help me develop a clear dental plan.
