Amazing experience, the whole team was very friendly and explained the procedures clearly. The office is really clean and modern. I couldn’t be happier!
Verified patient
Best dentist I have been too in a long time.
Seamless dental experience! The hygienist and doctor were both very welcoming and willing to answer any and all of my questions. I found the navigation in the building to be a little confusing, but nothing concerning. Would definitely recommend, a great team!
Wonderful office. Everyone is so nice, made what could have been a scary visit into a really great one. Couldnt be happier with my decision. Shes amazing!
kinda hard to find but overall the best dentist experience I've had in nyc. Work was quick, friendly, and seemed honest (didn't try to upsell me on stuff).
Dr. Zehra Husain was wonderful. She saw me after the hygienist did an amazing cleaning for me! The whole staff is attentive, friendly and listen to your questions. This was huge for me as I was looking for a new long term dentist I could trust! Dr. Husain didn’t try to upsell me on anything either, which was so refreshing! I am use to the “Invisalign pitch” def recommend!
Verified patient
I am really frustrated with this dental office. I had an appointment scheduled, and twice they canceled on me either the night before or the day of, claiming there was no available staff. I completely understand things happen, but when I reached out to reschedule, they never responded. It's very unprofessional, and now I'm left questioning what's going on with this office.
Verified patient
wonderful service. can’t recommend highly enough
Verified patient
My hygienist Kelly was so so nice and very thorough! She walked me through everything that she was doing and explained what I can do better to resolve some of the problems I was having with my teeth. Dr. Husain came in at the end and was very personable and informative! Usually I hate going to the dentist but they made it a very warm and welcoming environment.
Verified patient
This was the best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist office. They were incredibly thorough, accommodating, and transparent about costs up front. Highly recommend!
Verified patient
Honestly was an amazing experience and I was pleasantly surprised. Going to the dentist, especially a new one, can be a bit daunting, but Dr. Husain and her hygienist made the experience a 10/10 and so smooth. They were great listeners and communicators, while making sure you had a clear understanding of everything that they were doing during the appointment alongside next steps. The receptionist was also great as well! I’d definitely recommend this to people looking!
Verified patient
Incredible experience- both DMD Zehra Husain and hygienist Kelly were exceptionally knowledgeable, kind, and informative. Loved my visit. :)
Verified patient
For the record I left before meeting Dr. Husain but I feel like my review is still relevant. This is not a normal Dental office, its an Onsite Dental office located within a “The Parlor NYC” space which claims to be a wellness center but feels more like the Chinatown mall… a huge maze of little rooms, some actually completely empty, offering everything from waxing to dentistry. The images online are not a reflection of the actual place. I sat in the “waiting room” which is actually just a random open area where various hallways converge and isn’t at all near the dentist rooms (I honestly don’t think it even qualifies as an office) for about 25 minutes before going back up to the front desk and asking where the dentist was. The front desk lady pointed me down a hallway and disappeared leaving me to wander around for another 10 mins looking for this random room. The office acted surprised to see me… needless to say I canceled the appointment and left. Seemed like a scam of some sort.
Verified patient
I would strongly recommend this dentist! The hygienist I saw was amazing - she was so reassuring and understanding of my fears around teeth cleaning, explained everything she was doing so I would understand all the steps (and any potential additional costs) involved, and was quick and professional. This was by far the best experience I've ever had at a dentist's office.
Onsite Dental were great. Super professional staff, quick service and flexible. They showed a lot of attention to detail and cared about the job in hand, ensuring they did the right thing for you. They also were careful and made sure how much I was being charged before we proceeded with the service, which was appreciated!
Verified patient
Incredible visit. I hate going to the dentist, but this visit was exceptional! Waiting room - very comfortable. Dental Hygienist - Kelly was INCREDIBLE. She was so patient, gentle, and communicative. Would recommend her to anybody! She really took the time to explain everything to me, and kept asking if I was ok or had any questions. Love her!! Dr Husain was fantastic - so kind and patient . Explained everything to me. Some dentists speak to you as if you’re an expert yourself - Dr Husain was so patient and communicative! Will not be going anywhere else in NYC from now on!
Verified patient
Dr. Husain made my dental visit easy and relaxing, which is a rare experience at most dentist offices. She is kind, warm and thoughtful about your comfort! Going to the dentist can be an unpleasant experience, but Dr. Husain made it very pleasant for me. She provided small thoughtful comforts that made such a difference such as vaseline on the lips before cleaning, numbing gel for areas where my teeth are sensitive and checking in with you throughout the cleaning process. She clearly communicated each step and next steps and really listened to my needs. The staff is also very friendly and kind! Thank you!

BEST DENTAL EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD. JENNIFER, BEST DENTAL HYGIENIST. ASHLEY, DID MY XRAYS, ALSO FABULOUS. DR. ZEHRA HUSAIN, FANTASTIC. APPRECIATE HER BEDSIDE MATTER AND HER EXPLANATIONS AS TO HER PROFESSIONAL OPINION. LAST DENTIST I WENT TO, TOLD ME I NEEDED 5 ROOT CANALS. THAT WAS 5 YEARS AGO. (BEFORE THE JUDGEMENT, I PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR ROUTINE CLEANINGS AND NEVER SAW THE DENTIST). YESTERDAY, TOLD EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD. THAT ALL WE NEED TO DO IS COME BACK FOR ROUTINE CLEANING AND MONITOR A FEW THINGS UNLESS SOMETHING BOTHERS ME. THANK YOU ASHLEY, JENNIFER, AND DR. ZEHRA HUSAIN

Could not recommend Onsite Dental enough! The entire staff was so kind and I really trust them. They explained everything really clearly and made sure that I understood exactly why I needed my crown replacement.
Verified patient
Dr. Husain was professional, kind and efficient. The office is clean, the staff were all great and very educational. I also enjoyed they provide you with special sunglasses to block the bright lights.
Every person in this office was super helpful. They verified my insurance prior to starting my visit without me even asking, and I honestly learned so much about dental care. They explained their findings and my options including any costs that might not be covered by my insurance. Highly recommend! Definitely found a dentist I will be sticking with.
Verified patient
All of the staff I interacted with were exceptionally friendly and informative. The dental hygienist who worked on me made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Dr Husain had fantastic bed side manner and was able to help with any questions. The overall experience felt very professional, non-judgmental and helpful. I will definitely be back!
Fantastic experience. Was informed what services I would receive in the appointment and how insurance would cover or not cover each. Every question I had was listened to and answered both regarding insurance and best dental practices. Cleaning did not feel rushed at all and was very methodical in work. Highly recommend!
So friendly and clear!
Verified patient
I had a great first time experience with Dr. Zehra Husain, she and the rest of the staff made sure I was comfortable and understood the procedures and costs. I needed deep cleaning and 2 cavities filled and this was definitely the best dental experience I've experienced. The office space is beautiful as well.
Verified patient
Dr. Husain and the entire team at this location are fantastic! Came in for a cleaning and was able to fit in a few fillings and a scan for a night guard. Their tools and tech are very updated, and all of the procedures I had were smooth and pain free. The team clearly communicated with me throughout the appointment and checked in to ensure I was comfortable. Best dental experience I’ve had to date!
Verified patient
Very great experience!
I had not seen a dentist in a while, but there was no judgement just gathering information to know what to work with. She listened and went through what we should work on. She guided me through it all and was concerned about my comfortability to the point that she gave a break. I loved the outcome and highly recommend.
Verified patient
Great facilities, really nice space in a great neighborhood. Great staff across the board. The cleaning was comfortable and thorough. Will be coming back.
