“ My 5.5 year old son has gotten extensive work done at Empire Pediatrics and it is always a good experience with Dr. Chang. He has a great rapport with children. The office is really kid friendly overall. The work done is of high quality and my son has never complained of any pain or issues after multiple crowns and fillings. Highly recommend!”

“We are from outside Manhattan and it was incredibly difficult to schedule a dentist appointment during Covid. Scheduling on ZocDoc and filling out forms electronically made the process very easy. Our visit was pleasant, excellent bedside manner and child-friendly; definitely worth the trip. The kids were smiling at the end of their visit. Looking forward to our next one!”

Great

Great dentist. It was my son’s first time to the dentist and everyone there helped him feel st ease. Everyone was kind, the office was clean and decorated nicely. My son especially enjoyed watching tv in the exam room while his teeth were cleaned/examined. He was also a big fan of the tablets and bouncy seats in waiting area. Overall, I’m satisfied and will be back.

I brought my 5 year old (almost 6) daughter for her 6 month check-up. My daughter was actually happy about going to her dental appointment and woke up early on the day of the appointment. Everything went smoothly. Almost no wait time at all. Dr. Chang and his assistant were professional. Doctor spent time explaining how to help my daughter maintain healthy teeth. Clean, modern and kid-friendly office. There are many pediatric dentists closer to me in my area, but I go out of my way for my daughter to be under this dental practice's care. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend to others. First visit to the dentist for my 5 year old and it was awesome. The office staff and Dr. Chang were amazing. Very brief wait time - less than 10 minutes. Modern, clean and kid friendly office. Staff is kind, efficient, responsive and knowledgable about insurance. Dr. Chang is a great listener, addresses all issues and takes the time to explain. I drove close to an hour for my daughter just to go to this dental office and it was totally worth it. My daughter requested to go back to see Dr. Chang again.
