When we started going to Lumia dental, we were extremely pleased with how friendly and competent…read morethey were. It was an added bonus that this was a female owned and run company (of which alas they are still way too few nowadays). Their patient care is excellent and as far as any dental work is concerned, I would highly recommend them. However, as their business grew and expanded, I was starting to worry about what this would mean for their patients. My worries did eventually come true: from a patient based practice, it turned more into a corporate business, and with it, the desire/need for higher profits. As a result, they decided to no longer accept our insurance (Guardian dental, a major dental insurance company) because, according to them, their low fee schedule did not allow them to provide the best care for their patients. Now, that latter is just rethoric, for they were doing an excellent job. Why would that need to stop? No, it was because Guardians fee schedule did not make them enough profit. The way it works is as follows: a dental practice can determine its own fees for various procedures. An insurance company, through collective bargaining, can then negotiate for a reduced schedule for their clients (depending on the local competition). So, accepting an insurance first and foremost means to agree to the collectively bargained fees. While getting less profit, it means a much larger potential client base. This is the power of collective bargaining (which would be so much more effective if health care in the US would be universal, like it is in many other countries and, as a result, also much affordable). For Lumia, however, loyalty to their patients was not deemed as important as getting more profit (perhaps because of the increased costs of having expanded the business) and so they dropped Guardian as one of the accepted insurances. To give one example: our insurance pays the full fee for a cleaning every 4 months. However, they now raised their fee for a cleaning, making us having to pay more than $100 for something that was previously free. And you can guess that with more involved procedures, the out-of-pocket costs gets up even higher. That is why we had to leave Lumia as clients---essentially being pushed out as not being affluent enough clients that do not mind paying much more than they used to---and we now found an equally competent dental clinic in the neighborhood which does accept our insurance. I can only assume that we will not be the only patients leaving the practice, and in the long run, this might seriously damage Lumia (unless they can find enough wealthy clients in the downtown area).

Great dentist. Friendly staff. Very modern equipment …read more I've been coming here for years and recommend it to everyone looking for a great nyc dentist.

I will start off by saying that I am terrified of the dentist and have been to so many different…read moreones that I am definitely traumatized. I've also had a lot of work done previously so I hate to be judged by a new dentist/hygienist every time. At the beginning of this year I was looking for a new dentist to finally just get over my fear and make sure I'm all good. I ended up choosing to visit Dr. Steinbach after checking out the different yelp reviews on him and his office. I called and made an appointment and made sure to emphasize that I was nervous. When I walked in the first time, Lisa who works at the front desk was really nice and always helpful. The hygienist and Dr. Steinbach both knew how I felt about the dentist and did their best to make me feel 100% comfortable and they succeeded! Everyone in the office is so welcoming and they make the entire dentist appointment comfortable. I've been to the office about 3 times now and never had to wait to be seen. I have had some root canals done through my previous dentists and Dr. Steinbach recommended that I see an endodontist as they have more of a preventative measure approach so therefore, the endodontist who specializes in root canals can figure out if I need to re-do them or if they're all good. The office is also very modern and the chairs are so comfortable! I can't stress how comfortable I've felt at the office and I don't dread going to the dentist anymore. Highly highly recommend, especially if you have a fear of the dentist.

Overall I have had great experience with Park Slope Dental Aesthetics with both locations. Clean…read moreand professional clinic overall and very well managed! Environment is very comfortable Dr. Steinbach was the first doctor when I was visiting right after covid ended because I had a root canal during covid that needed a crown. He was very honest with me and told me I would need an implant. It was a very dramatic news for me but they were wonderful. I was referred out to the close by ortho dentist and the came back to get my crown. The entire experience was straight forward and easy. They never tried to upsell me anything. My only issue with this location is the Dental Cleaning. After finishing up the issues with my teeth, I had a dental cleaning and it was extremely painful. I thought it was just normal when I started visiting the Court Side location since it was more convenient for me, Dr. Karpova did my cleaning was literally pain free. I assumed it was cause maybe previously I had dirty teeth This month I did cleaning at this location again since it was convenient and since I been keeping up with all my cleanings it wouldnt be too bad. No, it was very rough and felt rushed. I did not feel comfortable at all. I might try court street again for cleaning, but if its still painful I think I will switching for cleaning. However for other procedures where the actual dentist is working on it, I would absolutely recommend this place.

Everyone, from Drs. Hansen and Hoang, to Alice and the front desk staff, to the hygienists, are always so nice and friendly and professional. Next week they start scraping my gums and I'm actually looking forward to it! (okay, that last part's a total lie. But you get the picture.)

I am SO thankful for Dr. Hoang after an absolutely HORRIBLE experience at Prospect Heights Dental…read more(which you can read all about at their Yelp page). After a practice that didn't take covid seriously, did an unnecessary and COSTLY dental procedure that I am still healing from weeks later, hurting my lip, and being just a complete disorganized disaster, I'm really lucky that my second shot at dentistry was so much better. I prefaced in my last review that I made the mistake of not going to the dentist for a long time - granted, I didn't have insurance for 6 months and then the moment I got insurance, covid happened and I got scared. But still, it's reasonable I had a ton of build up/tartar/gum disease and definitely a wake up call for me. At the last dentist, I was told immediately I needed a root and scaling/deep clean without them even doing the measurement thing on my gums, just x-rays. They did the root and scale on my right side but not my left (only one is done at a time), which has left me weeks later with angry miserable gums, gaps in my teeth I didn't prior have, and cost me $500 out of pocket. When I got to Dr. Hoang, she actually took her time examining my x-rays, my gums, and my mouth to find that 1) the deep clean didn't even deep clean, as I still had a bunch of tartar making my gums even more unhappy and 2) my gums weren't as bad as I had thought, and I didn't even need to do a root and scaling/deep clean on the left side. If I had gone to Dr. Hoang in the first place, I wouldn't be still miserable, with ugly and uncomfortable gaps in my teeth that I literally struggle to talk and eat with, and wouldn't be out $500 as all she did was a regular cleaning for me on the left. My biggest disappointment is I didn't go to her first. On top of that she's super sweet, lets you ask questions, doesn't make you feel bad about your obvious mistakes, and makes sure you fully feel comfortable before she does anything. Thank you so much for restoring my faith in dentistry. The practice is also great!!! Sallie from reception was very pleasant over the phone and email, and I'm not sure if it was her or a different receptionist at the front today, but she was great too. Everyone is wearing masks and taking Covid very seriously. They sent out a covid form the night before and took my temperature when I arrived. And...... last thing, they were playing Death Cab for Cutie when I walked in. As a born and raised Seattleite, this made me so happy :)

I had started going to Dr. Vu's dental office a few years ago when I had pain in my teeth and gums…read more- I thought my teeth were going to fall out! She did an amazing job with a deep cleaning that day (while assuring me that my teeth were not actually going to fall out!) and I have been going for regular check ups and cleanings ever since. She even did a fantastic job straightening my teeth last year with Invisalign. I was hesitant at first because my insurance wasn't going to cover the full amount, but I'm so glad I went through with it. I don't feel my teeth constantly grinding anymore, and I have confidence in myself when I smile now. When you decide to check her office out, you'll notice that her staff is truly warm and professional. They make every visit feel pleasant, and I've never had a bad experience going to my appointment. Easily the most hassle-free doctor's office I've ever been to. Dr. Vu herself is super friendly and personable. I feel she spends the time getting to know you so that you can feel comfortable and relaxed in that chair. She comes off as a professional who knows what she is doing, and you can tell she goes the extra mile because dentistry feels like an art form for her (rather than just a job) - at least to me. Thanks Dr. Vu and everyone at Tu's Dental!

Highly recommend for adults and children.

They ruined my smile and then ghosted me…read more This clinic is unprofessional and careless. I went in for Botox on my forehead and masseter. This is the same treatment I've had many times elsewhere with flawless results. The first round here didn't work at all. I went back for a touch-up, paid another $800. It still didn't work. I was told it was an issue with the botox. Despite paying essentially paying double, I decided to let that go and go get the third round of Botox. By the third round, my forehead was finally frozen - but my smile was destroyed. The left side now looks like I'm grimacing instead of smiling, and only with effort can I force it to look halfway normal. My natural smile is gone. I reached out with photos and a video showing the damage and specifically asked not to deal with the same injector who had already failed me twice. The very next day, he was the one who contacted me anyway. After I sent clear proof of the issue, the clinic disappeared and never responded. They took my money, botched my face, and ghosted me when I complained. Absolutely unacceptable - avoid this place at all costs.

After the root canal I was sent out blood all in mouth swollen face. I get open the numbing stuff wore off my tongue started irritating me. I went 3 days like that I couldn't take no more I called them to let them know they said the dentist wasn't in yet. I called another place they said I needed the X-rays from these guys. I called them back now all of a sudden the dentist is there after I asked for X-ray and said my tongue was bleeding. I go out there same night it was 6:30 p.m it's empty im waiting for this lady for bout an hour they sent me to the same lady she asked what's the problem I told here the assistant brought everything there to fill the temporary crown down instead she says" u don't need this and yanked the crown off said that's it and sent me home. I later looked up if that's ok and I found out it is not standard practice or other words they don't do that. So the next day my gum is swollen I call ask for my documents again and they are sending me to voicemail and ignore emails and text. This is the worse place and I see why they got the low stars. I don't know who gave this place 5 stars but they must've went to the other dentist in the back that they only send CERTAIN people too and everybody else go to the Indian lady.

Most people are lucky to have strong and healthy teeth. Unfortunately, I am not one of them…read more Needless to say, I have had many experiences with MANY different dentists, but none of them have 'wow'd' me as Dr. Brown. Here is my story: I have had pain (especially while eating) in a particular tooth for the past 10 years post root canal and crown. One dentist suggested that I should extract the tooth and do bridgework to replace the missing tooth because I had a cyst under my jawline that could possibly paralyze one side of my face. Imagine that. Another dentist told me that I did not really have a cyst but I would have to do gum surgery to clean out the area. Not so scary. The last dentist told me I had a 'problem'. Really?! How descriptive. I already made up my mind to extract the tooth, but I was not thrilled about this decision. I decided to go to Dr. Brown and he was able to figure out the problem in an instant. My crown was too high resulting in too much pressure while biting. This caused further inflammation in my gums thus pain. He shaved down my crown and as soon as I did the 'bite test', I did not feel pain anymore. After my x-ray, he was also able to tell me that I did not have a cyst and the only aftercare needed was a cleaning. He reassured me that I would no longer feel pain, and he was correct. Pain free. Woo hoo! It is always refreshing to find a health care professional who takes the time to LISTEN to your concerns and deliver a simple solution. I have a peace of mind knowing that I do not have to lose my tooth or shell out any more hard earned unnecessary cash to fix it. He is a winning combination of book smarts and common sense which makes my life so much easier. His assistant is also very welcoming and professional and there is an esthetician on board should you need such services. He has a patient for life. Thank you Dr. Brown

While you sit in the chair getting your teeth whitened, they give you these yellow tinted plastic glasses that supposedly protect your eyes. I was doubtful because they look like they came out of a cereal box. When you're done with the procedure, you take the glasses off and your teeth look pretty white. A glass of lemonade would look white at that point too - after spending about an hour seeing everything tinted yellow. When my eyes had adjusted and I got home I realized my teeth hadn't whitened at all. Tricky! They also are very pushy to get you to buy another session at a discount. The discount only applies if you pay on the spot, and they really press you. I paid in the office for a second session that I didn't even bother going back for because it's truly a waste of time for minimal results. They sometimes offer a discount for positive Yelp reviews, so keep in mind that a lot of these 5 stars are from people who are getting some money back and haven't had enough time to realize their teeth are same as always. As a final insult, my teeth were incredibly, painfully sensitive for the rest of the day.
