Dr. Brandes is absolutely fantastic. Friendly, compassionate, and makes my teeth look amazing after every visit/cleaning. I have recommended her to several friends and they all have had the same experience!
I never wait to be seen, I always get great care, and she remembers all my chart notes right off the top of her head. Could not be more thrilled.

Dr. Brandes is professional and caring, she even returns calls on the weekends. Her bonding work is top notch, nobody can tell any dental work was done on my teeth. She is really among the best.

Dr Brandes is fantastic! I found her on Zocdoc over 10 years ago and even as my insurance networks have changed as I've moved jobs over the last decade, I will still only see her. Unlike most dentists, she does all cleanings and all of my visits herself, which I've found to be pretty rare -- usually it's a dental hygienist who does everything and the doctor only comes in to do a quick check. Lovely staff, all so friendly, and a very clean and pleasant office that's been updated to be COVID-safe. Really great practice and she has really great referrals to the top specialists in NYC if needed.
January 27, 2021Alice C.Verified patient
Once again, always a pleasure to see. She remembers her patients, is very friendly and thorough. Will never see another dentist as long as I can help it! :)
March 13, 2020Daniel R.Verified patient
Very positive! My first visit to a dentist in many years due to a bad experience and I am quite pleased with choosing Dr. Brandes.
She is patient, thorough, kind and considerate. She took the time to explain EVERYTHING! Her assistant Margret is awesome as well! I only had X-rays and an examination thus far, but that experience alone can be horrible with other dentists.
I can’t wait till my next visit.

Dr Brandes is great! Definitely recommend. From someone who has a fear of dentists she takes the time to answer your questions and I never have any pain. Also every time I go there is little to no wait time, which is great when I have a busy schedule.
