“This is not my first time with NYC dentist as I have always went to their 23rd street location but going to their 34th street location was a change. Their staff was great especially one of their hygienist, Nikki she was really attentive and caring to her patients. The staff did had a mixed up with the appointments but it was resolved luckily.”

“Honestly, this was the best healthcare experience I have had in NYC since moving here 4 years ago.
The office was clean, they took their time, and they made it seem like cared. Other doctors offices felt like a factory where they cycled me in and out as fast as possible. The team here was not like this at all, it felt like my hometown dental office experience. ”

My 1st time here but not my last time. Staff was friendly and respectful. My doctor was AMAZING. She made me feel calm, was patient and explained everything after she did it.

Was seen on time, waiting area was not crowded and appeared clean and tidy. Hygienist was not the most gentle but was a kind woman. Barely saw Dr for even 5 minutes but I had no concerns so I guess that’s fine.

The experience here was top notch all around. I was initially annoyed that the Dentist with whom I specifically booked the appointment was not involved at all with my visit and I was not informed at any point, but the hygienist is impossibly proficient and dedicated to her service so I ended up pleased by the choice to go there. To boot, they give a unusually generous to-go bag of dental goodies that put a final great touch in my book.
No longer jumping around for a nicer practice to get my regular dental cleanings; Found my spot!

I would give this place 15 stars if I could! I’ve seen various dentists for the past few years at 34th Street Dental and everyone has been great, but I just completed the process of getting veneers with Dr. Le and was especially pleased.
I have never had such a pleasant experience at a dentist or any medical professional in my life. Dr. Le is a gem! She cares SO much and will go out of her way to make you feel comfortable and have the perfect smile. Brandon who handles billing and insurance is amazing too. I had some insurance issues and he did everything he could to make sure I got the best price possible for my veneers. I called the front desk so many times when I was trying to figure out my insurance and the front desk staff were so nice to me every time.
And I cannot finish this review without mentioning that this dentist is next door to the best bagels I’ve ever had (and I’ve lived in NY my whole life). It’s called Best Bagels & Coffee.
Overall, I truly could talk about how much I love this place for hours. Dr. Le is the best dentist in the whole world.

The cleaning felt a little rough

Very professionally run practice and no pain in the exam room. Valeria, one of the hygienists, is very skilled and caring. I highly recommend 34th Street Dental Associates!
More than 1 year agoJay N.Verified patient
I haven’t been to the dentist in a couple of years now but Valerie - the dental hygienist who worked on my teeth - makes me want to come back ASAP. Really! She was so great. I cannot thank you enough for making me feel so comfortable, Valerie.
March 11, 2019Maesha M.Verified patient
Best cleaning I've ever had. I always cringe when going to the dentist because of my past experiences with other dentists harshly poking at my gums. Val (I believe her name is) was super gentle with the tools and cleaning.

Incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful staff. Did not wait long to be seen. Very efficient visit. Everyone made an effort to call me by my first name. Highly recommend.
