disgusting disgusting service, if i could give 0 stars i 100% would. i was 1 minute late and the receptionist was the most unprofessional unpleasant women i have ever come across, i usually do not write reviews but this dental office was absolutely disgusting in the way they treat their patients. I had an appointment at 5pm and showed up at 5:01and while i was going into the office the doctor was driving out meaning he did not wait even until my appointment to leave. I am 38 weeks pregnant and in pain and the receptionist did not care whatsoever she gave me an attitude, told me i was giving her a hard time because i was 1 minute late, ridiculous. she closed the glass window and acted like she couldn't hear me, told me she wouldn't reschedule my appointment, absolutely insane i have never experienced this anywhere else in my entire life. STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! they are simply not worth it. They deserve to be out of business from what i can see with my experience and everyone else's on here!! read more

I'd rate it 0 stars if I could. I don't even write reviews but they just blew off my pregnant fiancé's appointment for a root canal because she was a minute late. Let me make that clear.. ONE SINGULAR MINUTE. And they couldn't've even bother to reschedule until her mom stayed in the office demanding a reschedule and it's still 2 weeks from now. Actual dogshit service. Steer clear. read more

If there was a way to write this post without a star I would! WARNING! DO NOT EVER TAKE YOUR CHILDREN TO THIS DENTIST! She does not know how to deal with children, especially children with anxiety about the dentist! She threatens them that they will get hurt while she tells your child to stop crying! I am BEYOND pissed and upset for Wala After she told me I have to refer him to a pediatric dentist, he can't act like this! read more

A while back I was required to go there with the Army Reserves. Coming back from active orders, I wanted to go to the VA. I was told that wasn't an option. When I arrived, I was aghast at what I saw. The place was filthy. The staff was rude. I was going to let some clown stick his filthy hand in my mouth? I think not. Worst of all, they wanted my social security number and to agree to pay if the military didn't. Hell, no! I never wanted to visit that dump in the first place! This led to a major issue. Since I didn't have orders to get paid, I was on my own time. I wasn't going to take that nonsense. I walked out and had the exam done elsewhere. Bottom line, don't go to A & B Dental. They don't do right by the patients. read more

Rude, nasty and combative staff. They don't try to help they get nasty and say you can go somewhere else. Zero

Never go here they dismissed my girlfriend who had back to back miscarriages all because she missed an apt because she was in the hospital...not right and def not a good look and way to treat your patients shame on you make me sick!! read more

Adult visit: First time patient seen by dentist who says all is ok. I've never had any problems just went for a regular check up and cleaning. They transfer me to the hygienist. She does her job and then states that I have a problem in my gums and it's not covered by insurance and I need to pay $1,000 to have the laser procedure done ($500 upper $500 lower. I got scared didn't have it a thought and said ok. She took out a sheet of paper and wrote I agreed to pay $2,000 and when questioned she said don't worry just in case we need another session. Stupidly I signed. When she finished she called the other hygienist and as I'm just walking out says " Hey do you always do both sides and charges them? He replied: Yes. At that moment I realized they sold me a service I probably did not needed just like an extended warranty to a brand new leased car. Child experience: My son had an appointment as a first time patient. We waited 3 months for it. Called to confirm same day and now they said it was 15 minutes earlier than what I schedule it for. They offered to see him 2 hours sooner. I explained I had already taken the time off work to be there by 4:30 and they said just complete and email the paperwork. We get there 4:30 exact, they said your appointment was at 4:15, the doctor already left. CALL us to reschedule (while I'm there outside the door!) Me: ‍. Reconsider if you're thinking about this place! read more

My bf is absolutely livid and we do not recommend this dentist to anyone looking to preserve their teeth for the long run. If anyone is attempting a malpractice lawsuit, or misdiagnosis, or any other attempts to get compensation for poor dental work, feel free to read my situation and contact me. Please respond also if you also experienced something similar. This place needs to reevaluate their morals. He is a 21 year old male, senior at Stevenson University, who has been going to this building for dental work since a little child when the previous dentist was there (she ended up moving out west and somehow we are stuck with Foyer, Markowitz, and Singh). When these 3 dentists arrived here, they brought a ton of new technology to better analyze your teeth and provide better insight as to what they are dealing with. Unfortunately, the dentists manning the technology can't seem to properly identify and remedy cavities adequately. In fact, am almost certain that they dictate the kind of care they give you by first observing your insurance to see how much money they can get out of you. While He was younger, He changed plans due to family reasons of which resulted i being on a discount plan to lower the cost of treatment. When this switch happened, He just so happened to have 8 cavities sitting in my mouth, of which he initially thought was his fault and had to step up his oral hygiene. He has those 8 cavities at 19-20 years old, of when he finished. Though cavities aren't meant to be comfortable when getting them treated, Dr. Foyer's touch was very unpleasant and painful throughout the entire experience, however He was able to power through and get the fillings filled. On that day, He fully threw himself into their dental recommendations by getting a new electric BURST brush, sensodyne toothpaste (for an increase in fluoride), and Listerine Total Care (once again, for additional fluoride). COVID has influenced a lot, however He called back in November complaining of pain in cheek and gums and that He would like to see Foyer, or anyone else, to see what's going on and give me the treatment necessary. The front desk notified told him he was unable to get an appointment anytime until January 18th, a whole 2 1/2 months after I'd initially call regarding the emergency. He ended up going to another dentist just to get them to see what is going on, just to find that 4 of the fillings placed in before were broken, 1 in particular that has decayed into a deep gaping hole in the molar, AND the remaining existing fillings remaining have decay on top and under the fillings. Because this was Dr. Foyer's work, He gave a to call A&B and attempt ANOTHER emergency appointment, of which they reluctantly brought him in for later that week. When he finally arrived, Dr. Foyer looked at me square in the eyes, and told me everything I knew already, and told him that he cannot do any procedures that day DUE TO THE SCHEDULE. Keep in mind, he scheduled an EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT. He is AM A 21 YEAR OLD WITH DENTAL WORK FALLING APART AND NOT ADEQUATELY DONE! He CANT BE BLAMED FOR THIS WHEN FILLINGS SHOULD BE GOOD FOR 10 YEARS. In addition, if this establishment truly gave the attention to detail that they'd give when finding new and exciting ways to charge you, this dentist would be the best office ever. Unfortunately, he is left with a mouth that resembles many recovering addicts and terrible dental hygiene when In reality, He was never getting his needs met, AND no one seems to care about it. From him: As an educator, especially looking to teach in the South as a person of color, maintaining a professional look is essential for me to maintain the respect of my colleagues, yet in a few years of being in their establishment, I am potentially looking at getting teeth pulled. This is unbelievable and truly upsetting to pass down on anyone. In addition, I have countlessly reached out to try and make a new plan for my situation, but unfortunately Dr. Foyer couldn't pay no mind to my situation. Luckily, I will never be paying this dental office again. read more

This piece of crap dental place can't do their paper work right.My son went to another dental place to get his teeth check,clean and have 3 teeth pulling,when the dentist goes to pull 1 of the teeth he found out that A&B Dental claim they already pulled the tooth back in 2010,how can a tooth grow back in again to be pulled again,well it turn out instead of putting number 30 tooth they put number 3 tooth which he just got pulled.Now he has to pay 210 dollars out of his pocket which he doesn't have since being on workers comp for getting hurt at work. The lady I talk to at A&B Dental was a real bitch had no matters at all,She shouldn't be working there at all. I wouldn't go to this dentist office if they can make this mistake,what if they do damage to your teeth or charge you more then it should be. read more

I went to this dentist. They seemed nice enough but every appointment they call the day before to confirm. This last appointment they didn't call and didn't leave a message. The secretary lied and hung up on me. Then I called back and she said she was dismissing me from their office. I saw her being so nasty with some other patients, that didn't speak English very well. Obviously, I would never recommend going to this horrible office. Nasty nasty whore. Also the girl is an absolute liar and this dentist lives in East Setauket. Our children went to school together. I can't believe he would allow such trashy people to work the front desk. One of my children works for a prominent oral surgeon and she said this rudeness was unheard of and the office should fire her and apologize to me. I will be waiting for an apology and if I get one I will post. I'm sure she was afraid to lose her job. read more

If you have a dental problems this is the place to go ............ they reasonable ............they are so helpful ,everyone's friendly. and Moe was awesome read more

I wish there was a button to right a review without giving it a star. WORST DENTIST. Dr. Markowitz is a very miserable guy and he is by far an absolute weirdo . He does not know how to work on teeth . I needed a root canal for some odd reason which he was doing and ended up putting to much pressure and broke the whole tooth . And put a temporary cap which didn't last long and he has yet to fix it . He extracted one of my tooth without numbing me all the way and I felt every bit of it i was screaming and he tells me to grow up and pulls out a needle and says do u want another one what kind of imperfection is that . He needs to loose that whole business. Don't know why people still go there . They work on teeth while acting like there blindfolded such a dummy read more

Nightmare. Went in there with a broken tooth . Dr seemed cool , quirky but cool . They also got me in promptly. They do the X-rays , dr tells me I need a root canal . I say ok let's do it , he says we will call when insurance approves, they call me back quick and say I was approved. When I get there they tell me they are going to do 4 ROOT CANALS . I said I think there's a miscommunication. They explain to me that I needed the 4 done & I wasn't approved for the broken tooth I came in for . I said that may be , but I need the broken tooth fixed . They send some random woman in to tell me I need to pay 900 + 1350 for the root canal . Frustrated, I ask how much for an implant . Which she replies 3600. I say let's do that . She said we need to do a CT scan . After they do it they explain that I need a bone graft while an extraction is done which will cost me 250 out of pocket . I agree . While waiting I'm contacted 3 different times from the office reminding me I need to pay 250 , which I agree to . Finally the day before my appt a woman named carol reminds me of my appt and to pay 750 for the bone graft . Which I immediately dismiss . She than backpedals and says oh , il waive some fee and it will be 500 . I begrudgingly agree . She calls me 45 seconds after we hang up and rudely reestablishes the 750 fee . I told her , let's just do the extraction and il fine someone else for the implant . She told me they wouldn't waste their time on me and to go somewhere else & hung up . Complete trash . After reading all these negative reviews I'm glad they aren't going to work on my teeth . THAT BITCH CAROL BASKINS !!!! read more

I cannot stress this enough. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! Originally when I went, I met a very kind dentist. We discussed options for my teeth and what we could do. We decided to go with dentures. In January my teeth were extracted and that's when it all went bad. I met a "dentist" named Edward Feuer. This guy is a complete hack. He uses old practices and doesn't quite seem to know what he's doing, but they have your entire face in their hands so you try and hope for the best. The first set he made would have been comical if they weren't mine. I couldn't even close my mouth, nor did the impressions fit properly. The second and third attempts as well. Side note- he will tell you 2 weeks and the broads up front push you out a month. I use that term because they never acted like ladies. They were rude, combative, nasty, and seemed to enjoy giving patients a hard time. Disgusting. So once a month appointments to leave with ever growing anxiety. It is now June and the dentist decided, WITHOUT CONSULTING ME, that he was going to start from scratch. When I asked him, tears in my eyes. How long this would take now since we are starting over, he says "I really couldn't tell you but you're welcome to go somewhere else"... well howdy do and F*ck you too. He then went on to talk shit about being a "Medicaid" dentist... and yes I went through my healthfirst insurance but I would have been glad to pay if it meant I was getting great teeth. I now am with an amazing dentist (Dr Wozny in Wading River) who will have my teeth ready mid July. Do yourself a favor... DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS DUMP OF A PLACE, apply for care credit, get them done by professionals. read more

I wish I had read the reviews before wasting my morning here. My old dentist told me at my last visit they were no longer accepting my insurance. They did a regular cleaning and x rays and found a fracture through one of my teeth. They said I would need a crown. I called A and B dental after finding their information through my insurance website. I called and asked if I could make an apt to see the dentist about getting a crown and meet with them since I would be a new customer. Upon arrival, there were so many people in the waiting area there weren't enough seats available. They had me go to the back for x rays and I explained I just had x rays two weeks ago I just wanted them to look at my tooth and discuss a possible procedure. They said they do their own imaging and they would need it. I said I understand if I decide to move forward they would need it but I just had them and I'm not getting them again today. They told me to go to the front and see if they could send my x rays over from the previous dentist. When waiting at the front they asked for my last name and I gave it and said I'm Not done yet though I just needed to ask if there's a way to send over my x rays. Then, a woman (not sure dentist or hygienist) said "she's refusing x rays so she's leaving". I said I never said I was leaving. I was told to come up front and ask about me getting my old x rays sent over. At that point I was so annoyed they were basically refusing to let me see the dentist without them and were extremely rude so I said I would make another apt when it was time for me to have x rays again. But I will absolutely not make it with them or go back there. read more

The dentist might as well broke my jaw when he was pulling my tooth. I actually felt him scrape against my jaw, and the aftermath was horrific. My sweet mother went in for a bridge. He pulled her tooth out and never placed the bridge in her mouth. Now she has a hole in her mouth. These dentist need their license taken away. They practice like they just learned how to handle teeth in their basements. read more

This place is horrible. Paid $800 (after insurance) for dentures. From the first, I couldn't wear them, because the tops were crooked, making the bottoms pop up on one side when I bit down. All the dentist ever said was "try them for a while and come back if you need to." Even suggested I use a Dremel if I needed to. I disliked him and the office staff so much (like 10 women and you still get an answering machine when you call) I didn't want to return. After cancer treatment, and only wearing the top dentures, I steeled myself to return. HUGE mistake. Whatever he did when he left the room made no difference, and I finally said, I'm really not happy about this. THAT brought the charming office manager into the picture, who wanted another $300 because I hadn't been there in over a year. Breast cancer didn't matter, I "could have called". If I wasn't happy, I could " return them", which I promptly did, demanding a receipt. She also told me I was "always rude when I called", because they closed early for the Jewish holidays, but only the " closed for lunch" and then the "leave a message" played. My messages grew more agitated, but not outright rude. Ms Office Manager should have known the difference, seeing how many reviews there are agreeing how rude she and her staff are. I should have read them first, but these losers were the only ones my insurance allowed. BOY, will I complain to THEM tomorrow! read more

My wife went there and had our 4 year old son with her. He had a mask on and the Dr refused to see her saying patient only. They also never said anything when making the appointment. The staff went back to ask the Dr for an exception and they refused even though she was in pain and made that very clear. Just ridiculous. Poor service. Never again. There are plenty of others around. read more

Bad service, especially from the front desk. Made an appointment only to go there and be told I needed paperwork I was not made aware of prior then told me to reschedule and closed the window. Never going again. read more

Ive never has a problem here. You wait at any medical office you go to, it is expected and staff is friendly. My teeth cleaning here have always been an easy visit. Doctors and hygienist are friendly and def make you comfortable in my experience. read more

Horrible experience. Waited 45 minutes listening to the low class staff bash every patient that called, violating HIPPA loudly discussing Mrs. **** dentures etc. I left I was not going to begin a relationship with such a horrible practice. Any professional that would Let their staff treat their clients that way should be shut down. read more

Horrible horrible service. They're overbooked. My daughter had a cavity fall out 3 times. They couldn't see her for an emergent extraction.. I had to take her to the emergency room. I recentl had their 6 month check up, I arrived 4 minutes late and they would not see my child. Unbelievably! I waited four months for this appointment. Goodbye never again. Don't recommend . Plus if you rate them 4 stars they give you a prize. read more

My wife had severe tooth pain and her teeth were definitely infected. We called A&B and scheduled an appointment for the next day. We showed up on time and were seen pretty quickly. They have amazing technology which helped pinpoint the issues right away. Dr. Singh came up with a plan of action and took care of the main issues swiftly. We will continue to attend this Dentist as the help and care provided was greatly appreciated. read more

AB Dental has an amazing staff with wonderful Doctors I'm so glad I found them.

The people at the front desk are soooo rude on so many levels it's crazy how they still have a job there!!!!!!

Worst place ever! I wouldn't even give it 1 star. The front desk girls are rude and nasty. They lie. Management is rude also. I called to complain about how I was treated and they were rude and hung up on me I would BOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL UNLESS YOU LIKE TO BE DISRESPECTED AND TALKED TO LIKE YOUR NOTHING. WORST PLACE EVER! read more

I can only make a review on the staff here. I made an appointment. Just like mosts places the wait for an appointment is about a month out. When it came to the week of my appointment. That Monday the office reached out via phone call and text. They left a voicemail that afternoon. I received it on my lunch break and called back to confirm my appointment for that following Friday. I also filled out the paperwork they had sent to me in the text. Fast forward to my appointment day...I show up at 11:40 appt @11:45. I go to check in and the girl at the reception said she couldn't find me in the system. She kept on checking and then finally found my appointment. Then proceeded to tell me that I never confirmed my appointment so that they cancelled it and now I can't see the Dentist! Number one! I did confirm my appointment and 2 ...being that I was a new patient...she didn't even try to accommodate me for that day or at all?! She basically was like "OK Bye NOW" very unprofessional and I will not be going back here. It seems as though whatever system they have for appointments and just customer service is lacking in both! If you can't get it right their...then I wonder what the doctors are like?! Hey, maybe it was a blessing in disguise. I'll take my dental health elsewhere! Thank you! Have a nice Day! read more

My family and I have been going here for dental work since September 2017. We have all had good experiences with the dentists. It's usually a very short wait in the waiting room. The Dr's are friendly and do a good job of explaining things. My daughter and I have both had root canals. My husband had a tooth extracted and my other daughter is having her orthodontic work done. We are all pretty happy. Going to the dentist is not fun but I guess it's been as good as going to the dentist can be. read more

The waiting area is disgusting. The staff are unpleasant and send you on a wild goose-chase to get anything done. They also are very unkind and unknowledge about sleep apnea. I've been waiting 1 year for these people to do a dental extraction on me for a sleep apnea applicance and they want to send me to the bronx to get a sleep test done even though I already have a CPAP and my sleep records done. They also want me to go to isleep and send isleep $150 dollars for the machine to do the testing. Thats BS. Not only that the staff are unpleasant and I highly do not recommend. If you need sleep apnea denistry, go elsewhere. You'd think something advertised on the radio would be of better quality but they are not. Four words to describe the office and the doctors: CREEPY, UNPLEASANT, HORRIBLE, AND NASTY. read more

Absolutely avoid this place. Came in with 2 broken teeth and was sent out with NOTHING. No cleaning, no follow up appointment. My "referral" was to an oral surgeon that does not accept my insurance. I can't eat anything at all, and the oral hygienist lady was very condescending, nasty and rude, judged me and told me that having 2 broken teeth and not being able to eat food at all is "not an emergency". She made it seem as if needing emergency dental health care was a bit too much to ask. People should not be working in healthcare if they lack the basic ability to sympathize with their patients. I hope management can have a conversation with her to explain that you should never speak to patients in such a patronizing way. The older white male dentist didn't seem to care at all either, stopping to talk to me only for 1-2 mins total. Spent an hour and a half here waiting. Only to be sent away with nothing but a dose of radiation. The only kind person here was the guy doing the x-rays. Will never be going back here. read more

I needed to find a dentist for my 15 yr old son. I located A&B Dental through his insurance. Fine. Then Covid-19 hit. His next 2 appointments had to be rescheduled. We finally got an appointment and the dentist started work. I told the front desk staff that my son was in pain and the girl said she would make a note of it. I guessed she would tell the dentist so he could take a look and address that first. Due to the Covid-19 protocol I had to to sit in my car while the dentist worked on my sons teeth. Well, approximately 15 minutes later my son comes out with two new fillings and instructions to put a cold compress on his face for any pain. The filling was for minor work that needed to be done and the tooth that was giving him pain neither was not inquired about nor addressed. The front desk girl never passed on the fact that my son was in pain and he didn't know to tell the dentist. I went into the office to find out why the dentist would send him home in pain and why he hadn't attended to the tooth that was causing my son's distress. Here is where the poor customer service began its downward spiral. The girl immediately became defensive. She told her co-worker that she said she had told me to tell my son to tell the dentist he was in pain. I reminded her that was NOT what she had said. Then the co-worker became rude and told me it was not their responsibility to tell the Dr. it was my sons' and questioned me about things that had nothing to do with the fact that my son was being sent home in pain. I became very agitated and began speaking loud because I felt she was not listening to me. The office manager then came out front and began blaming me and my son for not mentioning anything when that was the first thing I did when I arrived. Since I was not allowed into the room with my son and was told to go outside to wait there was no way of making sure the dentist knew about the pain my son was in. I would think the dentist would look at his x-rays / chart and see what the best course of action would be or at the very least, knowing the extent of the work needed ask my son if he was experiencing any pain. The office manager was very rude in suggesting I find another dentist. After all the unpleasant discourse I demanded some sort of pain medication for my son. It was not a solution offered to me; I had to demand it. I did finally receive a prescription for an antibiotic and pain medication and another appointment. All weekend my son was in pain, not only in the tooth but at the injection site. Before the next appointment I received a text with a Covid-19 exposure questionnaire which I filled out and submitted. When we arrived for the appointment I was handed a hard copy of the questionnaire so I told the girl (another girl) that I had filled one out via text. The other girl looked in the computer and saw that I had filled it out for me (I'm not a patient of this dentist so I filled it out as I had at our previous appt on the hard copy in the office and I told the girl that. She said "Well today is a new day" very rudely and closed the glass window. Ok, I sat to fill the paper out but I thought about it. I needed to find another dentist that treats its patients with respect and concern. We left. I'm not saying there was no other way I could have handled myself. I am saying as a patient my sons' best interest should have been their top priority! read more

I'd give them no stars if I could. Since February, they have rescheduled my appointment 4 times due to the hygienist or dentist or both not being available that day. It is now May, I walk in to my rescheduled appointment and they tell me that they attempted calling me a few days ago to let me know they cancelled my appointment. How come in the past they were able to contact me, and they didn't this time? How weird. Leave a voicemail if I don't pick up. I work as a receptionist elsewhere, and anytime we get the voicemail of the client, we make sure we dialed the number correctly and note their ledger. Unsure if their systems have the luxury to do that. Also, the reason why I try to get both the hygienist and the dentist the same day is because they will schedule two appointments and then run my insurance twice, having me pay 2 copay amounts which this time I refused doing. They can be very unprofessional at times, from dealing with the receptionist to when you're sitting in the chair. I got a root canal done here, and everytime I went there (3 times, instead of just once like normal, notice a pattern), the dentist would make sexual innuendos to the dental assistants. The girls look very young, they look like interns in training no older than 20 years of age. I didn't say anything considering it's their business whether or not they respect themselves, but let's just say if they really wanted to, they can sue the guy for sexual harassment. I hope and pray that they are not doing this in front of your children because this is very inappropriate and unprofessional of them. read more

I would give this place no stars if allowed, this place has put unnecessary crowns on my husband , when I was pregnant they told me I had to have an x Ray in order for a cleaning because they didn't know what type of cleaning I needed, the straw that broke the camels back with these heads was they told me I had early warning signs of periodontal disease, referred me to the in house guy there he told me he needed to cut my gums open and do a deep cleaning. So I told them No and the lady in the office was fighting With me and said ur insurance approved it u need to get it done I told her absolutely Not! I got my records and went to another dentist. My new dentist said he doesn't see anything wrong with my teeth, never had a cavity my whole life! This a&b dental makes up stuff to generate more money! Beware! read more
