It was great, I love my smile! Dr. Francis Barra is the best dentist I experienced in New York, so happy to found him! Thank you again Tatiana
Verified patient
I saw him very briefly to discuss what was needed in the future. He was straight to the point and then moved on, which I appreciated as I’m not a fan of dentist visits in the first place. At no point was he rude or dismissive. The lady that treated me was absolutely kind and explained everything in details.

he apologized for the long wait (1 hour and 45 minutes) as the maintenance staff was there to complete needed repairs. great bedside manner
Verified patient
The Dr and hygienist that took care of me was very nice. But there office is super unorganized, & equipment is wearing down. Secretary give you a lot of attitude. Also filled out forms on Zocdoc, had to refill forms there and they acted like they had never heard of people filling forms online.

I love getting treated by Dr. Francis. He listens to his patients and is very attentive to how you're feeling. Works fast and is super nice.
Verified patient
Office: Very old and outdated. I had a hard time finding the actual facility. Once inside it just doesn’t feel too impressive. Doctor: Barely spoke with him and his cleaning was very lackluster. It’s like he didn’t even try! Would not come back. Only thing good was the goodie bag they gave you with a toothbrush and toothpaste + mini floss.
The office took care of me quickly and a nurse came to pick me up before I could finish the paperwork! She was very sweet and Dr. Barra was also wonderful to work with. He finished my cleaning and there was minimal discomfort
Very professional. My appointment was quick and efficient and I felt comfortable scheduling my 6 month check up with him. I recommend going to see Dr Barra.
Verified patient
He said pretty much nothing to me throughout the entire visit. The cleaning took a matter of minutes and was not thorough whatsoever.
