I started at the DC location. I knew of Dr. Shebani but was never treated by her so it’s full circle to both be in the city and for her to be my dentist. The location is beautiful Dr. Shebani and all the staff are very nice and attentive. Location wise it’s very convenient a few feet from the train and Bloomingdales on 59th street.

Great experience! Very modern office with helpful, pleasant staff. Dr. Pahwa is an excellent dentist who took her time in going over the results of my X-rays as well as formulating a treatment plan for necessary follow up work. Costs are very transparent. Dental cleaning went well and I immediately scheduled my follow up appointment to get cavities filled. Dr. Pahwa has excellent communication skills and a great chair-side manner. Highly recommend this dental office!
January 22, 2025Steve B.Verified patient
I had a great experience with Dr. SPA. She was friendly and professional. During the visit I noticed she delegated many tasks to assistants that were still learning some of the tasks at hand but I didn’t mind their learning curve since all the staff was very friendly and accommodating.
I was a bit confused about the address I was given vs where I ended up for my appointment. Good to check before being late.
January 17, 2025Diego Q.Verified patient
Clean and updated office. Doctor and assistant were professional and communicated everything to me as they were doing my cleaning and I felt comfortable expressing any concerns. I arrived early and they took me early for my appointment.

Amazing office space, super clean and professional. What I truly appreciated is that I was able to have an open conversation about receiving a bond and if insurance would cover it for my tooth before work was done.
January 18, 2024Ariela K.Verified patient
I usually have a good experience here but the dentist / hygienist I saw this time were not very thorough or very clear in what we were doing. The hygienist would not listen when I said I needed water or to pause because my teeth were sensitive and insisted I sit still and listen. She also broke dental floss in my teeth multiple times and generally didn’t seem to know what she was doing.
August 23, 2023Erica T.Verified patient
Had a bad chip in my molar. Dr Shebani Pahwa Arora was able to address the problem in 30 minutes and I was able to avoid a root canal!
