Excellent service all around. Thorough and personal yet efficient at the same time. Highly recommend Dr. Lee and colleagues.
July 17, 2020Michael P.Verified patient
One of the most pleasant dentist visits I've had. Dr. Lee took her time cleaning my teeth and she did not miss a spot.

The office and atmosphere was very modern and nice compared to the building itself.
As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the front desk. She was aware of my appointment as I walked in right at the time I was suppose to be there. Once checked in, I was brought to the back to have images taken of my mouth in preparation for Dr. Lee to review.
Once met by Dr. Lee, she introduced herself and we went through a series of questions about my dental history. I went in for a cleaning and she was gentle and thorough with the cleaning, basically every gap, corner and crevice covered, when compared to the previous dentists that I've visited.
She is highly recommended!

The appointment with Dr Joanne Lee was very pleasant even though I’m not a fan of going to the dentist. She was very clear when communicating and the receptionist was very nice.
June 17, 2023Initials hidden
Dr. Lee is AMAZING. Honestly wish I found her sooner. Her bedside manner is excellent as she is a great listener. She cares deeply and actually tries to address your concerns without being pushy and trying to upsell you into doing a procedure that is more lucrative. I had a gap between two molars that I lived with for most of my life and she helped me fill it in. The gap was causing a lot of food to get stuck there and it gave me a new cavity. Her actions showed me that she genuinely cares about my well being and doesn't put her own wallet first.
I've had dentists in the past who try to make me do expensive wisdom teeth removals or get invisalign and even refuse to do the routine procedure you request, because they want you to do their expensive and unnecessary procedures first. She is not like that. Amazing Dentist!
More than 1 year agoJonathan Y.Verified patient
Super kind and addressed all my questions in depth (including potential issues and things I need to look out for). Went the extra mile to show me exactly what good flossing technique is and cleaned my retainer which no dentist has done before!

The doctor was amazing! I am not a fan of the dentist but Dr Lee was attentive, made me feel comfortable, was very honest about the status of my teeth and gave me options and proper instructions on how to care for them! The lady who took my X-rays was a gem! Super fast and very thorough! Will definitely be going back!!!

She is the best dentist I ever met. Very considerate and communicative. Always listen to your concerns. Staff is friendly as well.
July 15, 2022Xueyu Q.Verified patient
The doctor was so friendly and knowledgeable. Besides, I told her I have had stressful experiences with dental cleaning in the past due to sensitiveness and she was super careful! It was the first time I was not tense at the dentist chair. LOL.
Definitely recommend her!
March 25, 2022Sarah L.Verified patient
Great experience! Would highly recommend
December 15, 2021Gloria V.Verified patient
Everything was great, the dental work, the friendliness of the staff, Nice clean office and the wait time. I arrived at 2:20 pm for a 2:40 pm appointment and the procedure started at 2:30, 10 minutes earlier which is always a plus.

November 19, 2021Richard T.Verified patient
Dr. Lee by far has been the best dentist I have seen. If you have a fear of going to the dentist like myself please do yourself a favor and go see her. Absolutely the best experience and the staff is just as amazing. Plan to make her my permanent Dentist.
September 17, 2021Greg S.Verified patient
Dr. Lee is always so sweet and kind, I always have anxiety around teeth cleaning and fillings and Dr. Lee is always so accommodating in helping me relax. Would recommend Dr. Lee to anyone!
September 15, 2021Elizabeth L.Verified patient
Dr. Lee and everyone at the office was great! I was feeling nervous about booking an appointment after delaying going to the dentist during the pandemic and being new to NYC. Everyone at the office was so kind and friendly and Dr. Lee was amazing! She made me feel comfortable and answered all of my questions.

Dr. Lee was great! She was very kind and calming, and went over all my previous dental work. The office was clean and modern, and had Netflix playing while I got my cleaning! The staff was super helpful and followed up before and after the appointment.

May 11, 2021Henry F.Verified patient
better than my last appointment! it was faster and the procedure was a lot more comfortable this second go around. my teeth feel cleaner than ever!
April 30, 2021Karina L.Verified patient
Dr. Lee and all the other staff I saw at the office were wonderful! Leyla took my x-rays and was sure to assure me that my visit would be covered by my insurance; she was super kind and accommodating. I went to see Dr. Lee for a routine cleaning and she was very thorough yet as gentle as she could be. Dr. Lee was very sweet and had really great bedside manner. I would highly recommend Dr. Lee and her colleagues!
April 27, 2021Yu Hung W.Verified patient
I could not recommend Dr Lee (and the whole office) more! The office was beyond accommodating and Dr Lee was so kind, patient, gentle, and thorough. She answered all of my questions without any hint of impatience and left my teeth feeling better than they ever have. I will absolutely be going to Dr Lee from now on and would recommend her to anyone. Also Odessa at the reception was really kind and helpful. She went above and beyond.
April 3, 2021Sydney H.Verified patient
What a great experience! This was my first time visiting Dr. Lee, and it was great— no wait, great communication, very nice office. I’m just disappointed I didn’t find her sooner!
March 12, 2021Daniel L.Verified patient
Very friendly and professional. Most important factor is that the doctor is ready for me at my appointment time and she doesn't mind listening to me rambling on. Comparing to my doctor in Brooklyn, it is night and day difference.
March 10, 2021Grayson T.Verified patient
Dr. Lee is the best!
February 19, 2021Kylie P.Verified patient
Dr. Lee really made sure I was at ease during my appointment since I had told her about some anxiety I experience while having my teeth cleaned and she could not have been more kind and accommodating! Actually looking forward to my next visit this summer!
February 18, 2021Elizabeth L.Verified patient
Dr. Lee is my favorite dentist. She and her colleagues are always super friendly and efficient. At the same time, Dr. Lee never cuts any corners and does the most thorough cleaning and checkup. Highly recommended.
January 29, 2021Michael P.Verified patient
She is better than my childhood dentist which I was reluctant to leave but so glad I did because I have never had such a pleasant dental experience as I did with Dr. Joanne Lee.
January 29, 2021Jasmine S.Verified patient
Dr. Joanne Lee was extremely professional and catered to all of my concerns and questions. Her technical expertise was really high level and would recommend to anyone looking to have a true professional work on their teeth.
January 17, 2021Andrew R.Verified patient
This is my first time at the office since my last dentist no longer accepts my insurance. The place is very modern & clean. I was seen by the hygienist right away. Michelle the hygienist was very gentle with the cleaning. Dr. Lee was very patient with me, taking the time to explain my xrays & answering all my questions. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience.

Dr. Lee was great!! All the staff is wearing PPE stuff with masks, so I felt very comfortable given the times. Everyone is taking the extra time to make sure I felt safe and comfortable during my visit. See you in 6 months!

I am so glad to have found Dr Lee. Everything was a breeze, from making the appointment on Zocdoc, confirming insurance information, checking in, exam, cleaning, and X-ray. I was seen right away when I arrived on time for my appointment and she showed up and did the exam and cleaning after X-ray. Love not having to wait and love that they give out bamboo toothbrush and coconut flavor gloss. Highly recommended.
July 10, 2020Stanley K.Verified patient
I've met Dr. Lee for the first time today. She is super friendly, nice and professional. I'm very specific when it comes to choosing a DDS, Dr. Lee and the entire staff at Dr. Joshua Wilges are top shelf. I've referred several of my friends and co-workers who have also had a great experience. The space is clean, chic and filled with good vibes. The practice takes on a modern approach to dentistry which is a rarity these days.
June 30, 2020Younes R.Verified patient
I have been to several midtown manhattan dental office, so far, this one is the most cleanest and aesthetically pleasing office!
