Excellent advice and checkups. Dr Seth explained the X-Ray to me in details and explained my treatment options. Very satisfied with overall experience. The receptionist and nurse were awesome as well. I highly recommend Dr Seth.

My experience in Dr. Seth Black's office was comforting and smooth. Staff was extremely friendly and made me feel more relaxed about my wisdom teeth removal. My recovery from this procedure was also phenomenal. I was completely without pain after 4/5 days. Dr. Black also called me the night of the procedure to see how I was holding up which was so thoughtful! They are really helpful in making sure the post-op goes smoothly as well!

I was very nervous about getting my wisdom teeth removed, and Dr. Black made the process a lot less frightening! He was very straightforward and direct with his answers and was able to reassure me through a stressful process. Extremely professional and knows what he's talking about. Highly recommended!
Verified patient
The doctor is the best. The front desk lady should be replaced, a big minus towards the overall visiting. Her behavior is based on her emotion but not ethical standards!
First time visiting this office. Dr. Black was excellent. He explained the procedures very clearly and thoughtfully. He seems very gentle and considerate of his patients.
Verified patient
The doctor is great and knowledgeable but the front desk was somewhat rude and unhelpful. The rates were more expensive than usual as well

Verified patient
He’s a very caring and experienced doctor who isn’t just running a ‘factory’ type establishment, but a highly professional and effective practice, that’s for sure!
Verified patient
Very kind and gentle doctor. Explained surgical procedure thoroughly and answered any questions I had - I never felt rushed. The staff is friendly and pleasant. Finally, the office is located in a Park Avenue residential building with clean and modern equipment. 5 star experience!
Staff and doctor were really helpful with explaining procedures, next steps and my insurance/payment options. I was really impressed with how upfront they were with information (set up a good, trusting relationship). Scheduled a surgery with him immediately after my consultation.
Verified patient
In terms of dentistry, he knows what he's doing. But he has a bravado about him that I didn't particularly like; from my experience, he has a "take it or leave it" personality. I was referred to him because he was one of few specialists covered by my insurance, but I would not go back to him if I didn't have to. During my procedure (two wisdom teeth removal), a cap on another tooth fell out. Instead of giving it back to me so my preferred dentist could take a look at it, he threw it away.
My visit with Dr. Black could not have gone better. I came to him after a very bad experience with a dentist the day before and Dr. Black was very informative and put me completely at ease. His staff is also amazing! I absolutely recommend Dr. Black!
Verified patient
Doctor was informative and professional. Brought a couple dental issues to my attention and explained x-Ray thoroughly. Was very straightforward when asked about pricing/insurance. Office staff was great as well. Good experience.
Verified patient
Dr. Black was very knowledgeable and educated. He was able to immediately pinpoint the root of a jaw pain problem I had been having that many other dentists and orthodontists had missed. His office staff was friendly and professional.
Verified patient
The staff knows their stuff. Dr. Black has a great bedside manner. He doesn't just tell you what to do... He brought me over to the X-rays and explained the need for procedure, the risks, etc. He also build out the pricing and walked me through details. I trust his expertise, but I want to understand his logic and be able to make informed decisions.
Don't be afraid to ask questions. He will be honest and straight forward. The receptionist was sweet and welcoming as well was the dental assistant.
Verified patient
Dr. Black was very thorough and I trusted him right away. The 2 women in the office were also very helpful from the beginning.

Verified patient
Dr. Black was great and extremely informative. He had caught issues that my dentist did not even bring to light and thoroughly explained his recommendation, and the process for it.
Verified patient
Very informative! Loved this doctor!
Verified patient
Doctor was great, but assistant did not explain fee breakdown properly. Caused a lot of confusions and I was not able to get my treatment due to payment issues.
I was initially a bit concerned about having my wisdom teeth extracted but Dr. Black did an exceptional job with making the process both easy and relatively painless. He exceeded my expectations ten fold. Dr. Black is very knowledgable, an effective communicator, and has excellent bedside manner. My endorsement is difficult to come by but he has earned it.
Dr. Black's office continues to provide considerate patient care, from the moment I made my appointment to the moment I left. Dr. Blake is always willing to answer my long list of questions and has provided great care for my TMJ pain. In fact, one year after my first visit, I am still following his advice and am happily pain free. Always happy to come in for a check-up in this supportive environment.
Dr. Black was patient in explaining my situation and my options. His staff was kind, courteous and wonderful as well. The office has a very nice atmosphere. Would highly recommend.
Verified patient
Dr Black was very informative and thorough during my examination. He explained in greater detail than expected what my dental procedure would involve, alternatives, cost, etc.
