“Dr. Ma is a truly professional and compassionate dentist who puts her patient's care at the forefront of her mind. I was having some issues that I felt could be serious and she saw me almost immediately to take a look. During the visit, I felt like she definitely cared about my well-being and concern rather than making a diagnosis and moving on to the next patient. The health of my teeth is a top priority and she is one dentist I can always count on to make sure any problems are found and quickly taken care of. I highlyh recommend her and I can wholeheartedly say she will always be the dentist I trust with my pearly whites!”

About Dr. May Ma
Dr. May Ma grew up in California as the daughter of two amazing immigrant parents. She received her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where she served as Vice President of the school’s Saturday Veterans Clinic and was in the Honors Prosthodontics course. She completed her residency at Flushing Hospital Medical Center in Queens, NY, and is currently attending the NYU Implantology fellowship part-time. She believes in lifelong learning—to better serve her patients!
A fun fact is that Dr. May has had almost every dental procedure done on herself before! Her favorite part of dentistry is learning about her patients’ life stories. She strives to create the most comfortable environment for her patients. Fluent in Cantonese and English, her aim is to spread kindness and gratitude through dentistry.
She is a member of the New York State Dental Association, American Dental Association, and Academy of General Dentistry.
Outside of dentistry, she enjoys running (she completed the NYC Marathon for the first time in 2024!), concerts and music festivals, traveling, photography, and spending time with her family.

Dr. May was fantastic! It was a pain free and informative experience with her. She answered all my questions with a lot of detail and reassurance. She mentioned she’s doing an implant fellowship at NYU and I hope when she finishes she will still be available for any future dental work I need. Thank you so much Dr.May!

I took my mom here, who was visiting from California. My mom only speaks Cantonese Chinese and she is now in her late 60s, so it was heartwarming to have a doctor who could communicate with her and take care of her.
Dr. Ma did a great job explaining everything to my mom and making professional recommendations on the health of her teeth. My mom said she did a very thorough cleaning for her. She is very understanding and asked my mom multiple times if she was doing ok during the cleaning.

I HATE going to the dentist, but I wanted to use my dental benefits before they expire. And I am so glad I did!!! I saw Dr Ma and she was super professional and explained everything so well! She informed me about a root canal and explained the procedure in terms I could understand which I had never experienced. Will definitely be recommending her to all my friends

What I like about Astoria Modern is that it is quick service for a cleaning. I didn't have to wait long. They're also very thorough with their cleaning.

The dentist bedside manners needs to be worked on. I have big lips, and when she was doing my cleaning, she kept pulling it as if it was not attached to my body to the point that I had to hold it down myself.
I felt uncomfortable and my teeth didn’t feel clean when she was done, unfortunately I would not go back

I had a long history with dentist anxiety but Dr.Ma was kind, insightful, and talked me through my whole appointment. She got to know me as a patient and briefly as a person. I had a great experience and I will stop avoiding the dentist now!

I saw Dr. Ma for a simple exam and filling. I usually have dental anxiety but she welcomed me with such kindness and listened to what I had to say with full attentiveness. Her hands are a God’s send!
I didn’t even feel the injection and the filling ended up looking like a natural tooth...
Most importantly, I can tell she’s not unethical and means well for the patient. Something very rare nowadays!! I will be back and will recommend her to anyone!! 10/10 experiences thanks to Dr. May Ma!
