The atmosphere was peaceful and calming- perfect for anyone who might normally feel a bit anxious about going to the dentist. The dental hygienist was very thorough and attentive.

Grateful for his dedication to the advancement of "restorative" Biomimetic Dentistry. For the Kids: I wish Dr. Lazare was my dentist when I was a kid!! I have been terrified of dentists for decades. I was the kid who hid under furniture and threatened to disown my family for taking me to the dentist. If only I had met Dr. Lazare. He is patient kind, he makes balloon animals! No really ask him. Tell him I told you to and that you found this review he will make you something special and smile. He LOVES helping kids, and so do his kids. Such a wonderful family. Lets just say... At Dr. Lazare's office I felt NO PAIN or anxiety every time I have come into his office and he has given me more than a handful of shots! How I found Dr. Lazare: When I met Dr. Lazare through family friends years ago he told me about biomimetic dentistry and how many teeth that are removed and replaced can be saved! I never forgot our conversation and the level of detail as to which he described cases. If you ever wanted to meet a Dental nerd this is your guy. Fast forward many years down the road when previous work failed and the word extraction/root canal and crown came up. The work in my opinion needed to be redone. I remembered my conversation with Dr Lazare and in spite of covid he fit me into their packed schedule. I could not be more grateful for Dr. Lazare and his staff. If I had waited 6 more months one of the molars that he saved would have needed a root canal and a crown. President Lazare: Congratulations Mark on being elected President of the Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry. #SavingTeeth2021 #PreventExctractions More information about Marc: https://www.aobmd.org/dentist/dr-marc-e-lazare-dds/ Covid times: When I arrived to the office staff were wearing masks, and appropriate measures were taken for social distancing. It seemed as though they staggered patients there was no one else in the waiting room at the time that I came. Procedures that I had: Comprehensive exam, X-rays, Biomimetic reconstruction for two teeth, Invisalign, and a temporary for a crown. As you can see in the photos Dr. Lazare uses a red dye to mark the decay and then works patiently to remove the decay and then rebuild the tooth. To say I am thrilled with his dedication to his craft and meticulous care would be putting it mildly. Staff: All staff seems to genuinely care for their patients. The woman who was assisting him during this process though a hygienist, was a dentist in her home country. Service with a smile knowing that miracles and magic are created here. Thank you everyone! So grateful. The Scene: Upbeat, Happy, Magic Destination Rating: 10 Date Rating: N/A Hob Nob Potential: N/A Strong Suggestion: Come here if someone else tells you that you may need a root canal.

One of the worst experiences ever. I thought I was going in for what I was told last week was a…read morefollow-up to a tooth bonding. When I arrived today, he told me he was working on my back filling (something he had mentioned at my last visit that eventually needed to be done; but never something I agreed to having done right away or with him for that matter). I already have my own dentist, but used Dr. Gonzalez for an emergency bonding since my dentist wasn't available. His assistant Juilana (who by the way is very sweet), even mentioned to me on the phone and when booking the appt that it was a follow-up, so I was already put off that Dr. Gonzalez took the liberty of doing what he wanted without my consent so he had more billable invoices he could send my insurance company. Secondly, I've always had a bad gag reflex when fingers or tools are in my mouth. Unfortunately, I've never been able to get over this, but my actual dentist (Dr. Bartolazo - one of the best in NYC) has always been patient with me and always makes sure I'm doing fine along the way. Dr. Gonzalez, on the other hand, was very rude and irritated with me because he couldn't get his needle in to numb my mouth. He started going off, saying he has never in his 23 years seen a patient who gags so much and literally threw his tool down on the table out of anger and frustration. In all my years of going to doctors and dentists, I've never ever seen a professional act this way to his patient. I immediately told him to let me up, as I wasn't going to deal with someone who treated me like this. He was just horrific with no bedside manner. I really can't believe he is still in business. I'm definitely going to report this to my insurance company as well. I should have known better after reading a couple of the reviews on here about how horrible he is. Be forewarned! (Also, btw, he is now on 45th Street just in case you're wondering if it is the same doctor since he goes by Dr. Gonzalez (not Molina).

In the process, he caused an even bigger problem with an unrelated tooth (he damaged a crown I had put in 2 years prior). I finally gave up and went to another dentist to fix the work he did. Additionally, Dr. Molina did a lot of work without warning me first. For example, he caught me by surprise when he started drilling my teeth without even telling me what he was fixing beforehand...when I asked, he said he was applying "medicine"...but what was the medicine for and why hadn't I been asked/told before he started using the drill? I have been going to another dentist since then and have been much happier. Dr. Molina is a pleasant man and has affordable prices, but his work and communication has not been good in my experience. When it comes to my teeth, I would rather shell out a little more money and have it done right.

I typically don't write reviews--good or bad--but I feel incredibly dissatisfied and disappointed…read morewith my experience at Dr. Vasserman's office. I was recommended to this office by someone I truly trust, as I am not originally from NYC. The office itself is nice, and Corrie is typically friendly. For a basic teeth cleaning, this place is fine. However, if you need any significant dental work, I strongly urge you to reconsider. In 2022, my teeth had shifted due to Invisalign, and I wanted to have my front tooth (tooth #8), which had a crown from a childhood injury, redone so that it aligned properly. I initially considered finding a specialist but decided to go with Dr. Vasserman--something I deeply regret. Trust your intuition--if something feels off, it probably is. When I discussed my needs with Dr. Vasserman in April 2022, he assured me it would take only a few weeks. However, after many emails and back-and-forth conversations, I was informed that it would actually take eight weeks just for the lab in Chicago to begin my case. This was a complete contradiction to what I was initially told. When the crown finally arrived months later, I was shocked. This was supposed to be from the best of the best lab, yet the tooth looked nothing like the rest of my teeth. I don't understand why he didn't use a lab in NYC where I could have been directly involved in the process. It became increasingly clear that he didn't know what he was doing when it came to cosmetic dental work. After much back-and-forth, and clear frustration from Dr. Vasserman, we eventually landed on a tooth that was "acceptable"--but by this point, it was July. Between April and July, my temporary tooth fell out multiple times, I had to go back and forth to the office countless times, and I constantly questioned my decision to have him do the work. The worst part? Any time I called for an update or to get help, it often felt like the office was avoiding me. Calls would go unanswered, and I would have to follow up multiple times just to get basic information. The lack of communication and accountability was infuriating. Fast forward to November 2024--I started experiencing severe pain and discomfort in my front tooth. The pain was unbearable, keeping me up at night and even giving me headaches. I switched dentists due to my previous experience and didn't feel comfortable returning to Dr. Vasserman. Well, turns out my instincts were right--I now have a serious infection in the tooth. The crown wasn't even cemented properly, leaving it loose and unstable. The infection has become so severe that my tooth is now unsalvageable. I have to undergo major surgery, including tooth extraction and bone grafting, because the infection has eroded my bone. Here's the most frustrating part: I have had this tooth redone three times in my life, and never--not once--have I had an issue like this until this last procedure. The fact that I trusted a dentist who clearly lacked the skill and experience for this type of work is devastating. The moral of the story? If something feels off, trust yourself. Go to a specialist. If I had listened to my gut, I wouldn't be dealing with this nightmare now. If you only need a cleaning, this place is fine. But for any serious dental work, I cannot recommend this office and would strongly advise against going here.

I was fine with the 45 minute wait, however I was caught off guard by Dr. Sheinkman's poor excuse for a cleaning and hurried x-rays.
