I was happy to have gotten the extraction that I booked the appointment for on the same day. He made sure my mouth was sufficiently numb and my extraction didn’t hurt at all after the first 2 hours. The wait time was very short and the appointment times are convenient. I will definitely return.

Very professional. Great experience.

Walked in today at 11:41 am with pain in my tooth as well as fear and uncertainness. I filled out the paperwork, got my wisdom tooth extracted and out by 12:05. I felt so calm and soothed and Dr. Joshua Ishal's sense of humor made the process seem mindless because it was painless. Thank you Dr. Ishal & Brooklyn City Dental for a great experience.

My teeth had become very sensitive and sore after a filling, I was incredibly worried there would be an infection or anything that would require an extraction. Dr. Ishal was so nice and reassuring. He was able to figure out what would be the solution to an issue the X-ray didn't even show. It's been about a month now and my teeth are not as sore anymore! Highly recommend him :) Thank you Dr. Ishal!

Dr. Ishal was very gentle and kind and helpful. As someone terrified of the dentist and dental costs he was very acommodating.
