(Confirmed by current dentist) (See photos) This office needs to be should be shut down for malpractice. Please do not go here! She's not only rude and disrespectful but she RUINED my teeth. I had braces done here as a teenager. I was born missing a tooth and Anissi offered to leave a space open and replace it with a tooth on a retainer that could then be replaced with a permanent implant when I was older. This was over 10 years ago and Im 23 now. I've been to SEVEN dentists to try and get this fixed and none are able to bc the space she left was way too small for an implant. In addition she had such an aggressive treatment plan that my daughter roots of her teeth are now shallow and aren't even in the bone anymore. She moved everything too fast and too far. Well, after 6 yrs of looking and appointments, finally we found someone who can do it. But it will cost $14,000!!!!!!!!!! So now I'm just stuck with a metal wire going across the entire front of my teeth forever. I am beyond angry at this point. I'm honestly going to look into a lawsuit. Her absolute incompetence is astounding. She's abrasive as it is but I dealt with it bc she took my insurance. Not to mention how many times she berated me at ortho appts and insisted I get a deep clean aka scaling of the gums and when it bled she told me it wouldn't hurt or bleed if you brushed better. I didn't know any better. I assumed she's a professional in her field and maybe I just wasn't brushing well enough. I was wrong I would not recommend this office for any sort of dental work at any point for anyone. read more

Thank you to previous reviewers for alerting me of a potential issue. I doubted my own skepticism and your feedback prompted me to do further research and cancel my upcoming appointments for a deep cleaning. I am posting to notify others of the need to proceed with caution. On Wednesday, I visited this dental office for the first time and received a cleaning and had x-rays taken. At the end of the cleaning, Dr. Anissi came into the room for what I felt was a very short time and asked a lot of questions without providing me an opportunity to respond. At the end of our conversation, she told me that I probably have sleep apnea, that I need bonding and that I need a deep cleaning. Accepting that it had been 3 years since I last visited a dentist, and that my oral health could have taken a serious turn for the worse in that time, I made the deep cleaning appointments. This morning, I read the Yelp reviews that sounded similar to my experience. I also read an article on Vice.com from 10/2017 explaining that deep cleanings a/k/a root scaling is a treatment for advanced gum disease. The article continued that while it is important to take seriously Dentist's recommendations about treating gum disease, the standard of care is to use a "perio probe" that measures the gap between your gums and teeth. No one at the office used this device, or discussed the need for such testing, before prescribing this procedure. Nor did anyone mention anything about the length of the healing process. read more

By far the best dentist I have had in my 70+ years. Very competent and thorough. Knowledgeable and makes sure that her work is perfect.

I've gone here for a couple years now, and they've got really great service and staff, makes every visit quick and easy. Especially like how they are properly handling mask and safety procedures right now (requiring hand sanitizing, having all the staff wear face shields in addition to masks). Would definitely recommend! read more

I've been going to Dr. Anissi since I was a young child and she's a great dentist! I practically grew up with her. This review is for how rude the front desk Elena and Dorris are. I've literally never been treated with such contempt and disrespect from receptionists in my life. I love Dr. Anissi but don't want to go to a dentist where each visit starts and ends with a stressful experience where I'm disrespected. read more

I wish I could give 0 to her!! She messed up my son's teeth! I found it until we moved out of NY. My son's new dentist found she hit his good teeth and made a hole in it! She did very horrible jobs on his filling! He had to do root cannal because of her! The bottom line: Don't trust her! read more

At first I thought this dentist was great. Very nice person and nice new office. However after a couple visits and hearing stories from a few friends who have also seen her I'm not so sure. She claimed I had a couple cavities that needed to be taken care of and a gum issue that should be treated as well. I let her fix the first cavity but after hearing some suspicious stories I decided to get a second opinion from another dentist. The other dentist said I have no signs of cavities and my gums looked perfect. Want dental work done that you don't need? Then go here. read more

I recently went here due to a change in insurance policy and they were in network. I'm 47 and get my teeth cleaned every 6 months or so. Never have had an issue at my previous cleanings, as a matter fact, I've always received positive feedback. No gum disease, x-rays are perfect, teeth in great condition. Now imagine to my surprise when the dental hygienist says..."you have some bleeding on your upper left side and I recommend a "deed cleaning". Made me immediately suspicious. My reply, "why do you think I need a deep cleaning just because my gums are bleeding. You are after all cleaning them with a sharp instrument." She says, well, its normal but you have some pockets near your gum line that I would consider a 4. I said, "Really, I have never been told that by ANY hygienist in the past. I left it at that. After she finished...she went to get the doctor to do the exam. Dr, Anissi introduced herself and after examing me...to much of my surprise(eyeroll) says, " yes I agree, I suggest a deep cleaning". I said, "thank you but no thank you"... I came here just for the cleaning and I won't be coming back." She was incredibly unprofessional...in her attitude and integrity. I know a scam when I see a scam. This place is running a scam. Stay away!! read more

I am 63 yrs. old, an educated professional and the CEO of a long standing and reputable international company. I am new to the area and was therefore a new patient having waited about a month to be able to see this poor excuse for a dental practitioner. Had appointment scheduled for 11:00 a.m. April 5, 2019. Arrived on time, entered office and waited at desk for one of the two preoccupied reception ladies sitting 5 feet from me to look up and acknowledge me. One reception person was talking to a patient but saw I was there. Never said a word. The other one, facing me staring into a computer screen, never looked up. Finally, after about 10 minutes standing there I asked if someone could help me. The one lady receptionist literally seemed taken aback that I could be so audacious as to ask for "help". It seemed like, "How dare you come into our office as a new patient and give us your business". Never ever said hello sir how can I help you, "welcome" or "I'll be right with you" nothing, nada etc. Then I became proactive and said I was a new patient and asked why no one was acknowledging me or why your customer service is lacking? The one lady who was not tending to anyone then became exasperated and immediately rose from her chair and went to get the doctor. Why, I have absolutely no idea. She obviously had no concept or clue how to deal with a guest in her office who is there for a cleaning and an evaluation--pretty simple stuff I would think?? The dentist comes into the reception area within 2 minutes and I asked her why someone was not showing me the courtesy of acknowledging my presence and simply checking me or greeting me. She then made a wild gesture of spreading her arms across the reception desk and said, "can't you see we have all this paperwork to deal with" or something rude to that effect at which point, I became quite taken back and angry by this totally immature and unwarranted response and told her "to go to hell". To all viewers or prospective patients, let it be known that I wouldn't ever let this individual treat any of my dental needs with her despicable, hostile and disrespectful attitude. Cannot imagine the kind of treatment and services she would render to someone who expected the best care. Absolutely void of people skills. Now I know why her reception staff acts the way they do. This so-called poor excuse for a "professional" was even more incompetent than were her two receptionists. I have never felt so demeaned, insulted and put off by a medical practitioner in all my years of seeking dental care. I would never allow this individual to administer or care for any of my dental needs and recommend readers heed my experience and avoid this prima donna and her staff at all cost. What a discredit to the practice of dentistry and patient services. Regardless if the dentist and her staff are all having a bad day or not, which I have no idea was or was not the case, she and her staff seem to forget they are in a "people" service business, as a paying patient/customer I expect and demand the utmost positive experience possible, and under no circumstances deserve to be treated so reprehensibly as a patient or as a person. read more

DO NOT go here. I really liked Dr. Anissi when I first met her. Two years later, I've had five fillings, a root canal, and was forced to buy a mouth guard for grinding at night to help prevent my developing gum "issue." I'm 26, brush at least twice a day, and floss daily. Going here is like going to a used car salesman that takes advantage of naive individuals who are just trying to take good care of their teeth. This place is a scam. read more

Everyone showed the utmost compassion and professionalism during my visit. Dr. Anissi truly goes the extra mile for her patients. Overall great experience and I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for general or orthodontic care. read more

I would have given 0 stars if I had the option, my experience was awful. At my first appointment I spent my time in the chair hearing how awful my teeth looked. I left the appointment with THREE follow up appointments: two "deep cleaning" sessions and the first of possible 5-6 sessions to complete NINETEEN fillings. In addition, I was told to get a (very expensive) toothbrush and mouth guard for teeth grinding. After the "deep cleaning" sessions I decided it was time for a second opinion. Every time I was in the office I felt so degraded by the staff from the moment I walked in. My second opinion absolutely wanted to do one filling, and recommended an additional two that were very small. How Dr. Anissi got 19 I will never know because I will not be back! read more

Dr. Anissi has been my dentist since I was a baby, and I have always received amazing service! She goes out of her way to make sure that you like the results and continues to make sure nothing is left behind or forgotten. I never want to go anywhere else! Highly recommend. read more

I have always been a happy person, although to look at me, it wasn't always easy to tell. I was ashamed of my smile so it wasn't used often. Why? I was one of the probably millions of people that was desperately afraid of going to the dentist. I had several missing teeth due to neglect and fear. Then I met Dr. Anissi and my self-esteem was transformed. Their staff is the friendliest and most efficient that I have ever had the pleasure to experience. And my transformation was so fast and so pain-free...if it hadn't happened to me, I never would have believed it possible. Now I have the most beautiful smile that I show off all the time. Thank you, doctors, for all that you and your staff have done for me. read more

Dr. Anissi provides great service and is outstanding at what she does. She is current on the latest technology and products. Her quality and attention to detail are superb. I feel confident as her patient that I will get the best results. Dr. Anissi has also provided be with beautiful teeth whitening through Zoom and cosmetic touches for the perfect smile. I am so happy I switched dentists and became a patient of Dr. Anissi 3 years ago! Her staff is very friendly and welcoming as well! read more

I do not understand or believe the negative reviews. Dr. Anissi is AWESOME. We have been going to her for over 4 years, and have had the BEST experience. She did miraculous things with our daughters smile, and that is no exaggeration. We are so thankful for her and her staff! read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST. I had to switch dentists because my previous dentist would not accept my insurance. Dr. Anissi claimed that I have gum disease and needed to come back for two additional appointments. Meanwhile, she charged my insurance company for a "cleaning" that she did not do. I am a person who brushes 2Xs/day and flosses multiple times. I knew there was no way I had gum disease. I have absolutely no bleeding and no pockets. I went to another dentist who could not believe that she recommended this "deep cleaning" and two additional visits. She said the same about my son -- that he needed extensive work. She is unethical. I reported her to the insurance company, but they obviously did not care. read more

Dr Anissi office provided great service with the utmost professionalism. Very happy

I love Dr Anissi! She is very thorough , friendly and does great work. She always shares the new certifications that she is working on. I like that my dentist is not stagnant in her old ways and continues higher education in her field. She keeps up on the latest in treatment options. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Anissi for a very long time and am happy with her. She had an office manager who, according to rumor, tried to destroy the entire business. But the person was terminated and the business appears to be growing again. Dr. Anissi doesn't dance around the truth. If she sees a problem, she is not going to sugarcoat it. Some people don't like that - they want you to stroke their ego. Some of these reviews are, frankly, vicious. I suspect they were written by bitter, unhappy people. read more

I never write a review for anything but this I couldn't hold back. Do not go here!!!!! I've gone since I was very young but was to young to realize what was truly going on until I was older. She put braces on me before I needed them took them off and put them on again. I ended up having them for 7 years!!! Then she would lie about me needing fillings for cavities I didn't have. I know this because I visited two other dentist who told me I have no cavities at all and my oral care was immaculate by the way it was immaculate after not seeing her for five years. I had to get a root canal because of her, when she created a space between two teeth of mine she never closed it and the surgeron said it was inevitable to prevent it by flossing and brushing because the gap was to big, it should've been closed by her. She left glue on my teeth that was just taken off recently, and now I have braces for the second time because of her. She never gave me a new retainer after saying I wouldn't need one. Also I've had cousins of mine one who is the same age as me who had braces on as well at the time who now all family's teeth's are messed up and they no longer go to her but had to get everything fixed by new dentist. After all of this, and all the fillings I've had done by her in the past it makes me wonder if I even had any cavtities to begin with. Bottom line don't trust her I believe there might be some fraudulent activity going on. read more

Horrible place. Always something else needs to be done. Blamed me that I didn't tell them that my insurance had changed and told me that the work that I was having done was covered and then it wasn't and proceeded to bill me $190+. Have had one procedure done, and within 24 hours, it had fallen off. Went in for a follow up, that one was gone in less than 2 weeks. Not going back and will tell everyone to stay away. read more

Dr Anita Anissa should lose her license. She not only told me continuously I had cavities and I had some filled, but she did the same thing to my husband. Before I left and thank god I did, she said I neede another filling, so I never made the appt, can back for my next cleaning and surprise surprise, no cavity where she previously said I had one. She screwed up a crown I had so bad, I have a big black ring near my root and the bottom of my tooth has a black dot in it- it looks bad. She would try to push her $250 whitening on me and the girl who cleaned my teeth rolled her eyes and said "just use crest white strips". Did anyone else notice the high turnover rate of hygienists? Let me take this opportunity to also mention all her positive reviews are done by her or her brother, dummies. You will get yours someday Anita, can't wait! read more

My family and I have been patients of this dentist for about 3 years, and finally have decided to move on. Agree with other posters, new office, dentist personality, and initial experiences seemed good, but overally I would have to say politely she does shoddy dental work and is more concerned with making money than serving dental patients. While the ofc is new, it is not kept as clean as I would expect, and every piece of dental work she has done in my mouth has either not worked as planned, broken, or had to be repaired multiple times. As an example, I had a small cavity on the back of my molar - she carved out a piece so big after the 3rd attempt to fill it (they all broke off) she made me an "inlay" which lasted almost a year before breaking recently. Now we're moving to a new dentist, can't stand this one any longer, and may need to seek legal help to recover what it will cost me to repair what she's done. Find another dentist if you can. read more

Dr. Anissi was very professional and courteous. She not only made me feel comfortable in the chair, but also answered my questions. She helped me solidify my decision in choosing dentistry as a career. read more

I also would have given zero stars if that were possible. I went to Dr. Anissi several years ago. I am now in process of having two (unnecessarily large) crowns replaced because their presence was increasingly distorting my bite . I went for a second opinion after Dr. Anissi showed me an x-ray of another tooth and tried to talk me into a third crown as she pointed out what she called serious decay. It turned out that there was nothing wrong with that tooth and it is still serving me well today. I couldn't agree more with the comment equating her service to that of a used car salesman. read more

Dr. Anissi has been very caring and gentle with my son and his braces. She is working very hard on moving his jaw and straightening out his teeth. I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Anissi and her staff, especially Christina!! read more
