Dr Muhammad and The Brooklyn Oak team are professional and warm. It's been a pleasure to work with them over the past 2 years for my orthodontic work (expansion, Invisalign). I used to experience a lot of anxiety in the dental chair but Dr Muhammad and Tania's professionalism have helped me to alleviate my anxiety. The team have always used great communication and I'm grateful for how they have taken care of me over these years. I'm happy with the end result of my treatment, and my broader smile and functional bite are thanks to Dr Muhammad! read more

My husband and I have been going to Brooklyn Oak Dental for several years now and have always had a great experience. There is never a wait, everyone is pleasant and the care is top notch. Dr. Muhammad is attentive, calm, and detail oriented. Her technique is flawless and she is always as gentle as possible. Her dental technicians are equally skilled. I was always thrilled to read on their website that they are a "green" practice. Meaning they use low radiation digital x-rays, steam cleaning for instruments, and green building and cleaning products in the office. I am a happy customer. read more

I'm admittedly not the best dental patient (needle phobia!), but I have never experienced a more caring medical team than Brooklyn Oak. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dental practice that responds to a whole person's needs while also providing expert care. They have been extremely compassionate with me about my fears. I came out of an appointment yesterday that was genuinely a positive experience, which for me is saying something! I especially recommend Jill (dental hygienist) and Dr. Muhammad. I appreciate not only their care but the quality of their work. A previous dentist left me with loose fillings that Brooklyn Oak was able to consult me on and fix. I have never had an issue with the fillings since, and they always show great attention to detail in the additional dental work I've needed. The front desk team is fantastic as well, and the new office is lovely. All in all, highly recommend! read more

I'm one of those people that hate going to the dentist. This was by far my best dental experience. the Consultation was honest and clear. My cleaning with Jill, the hygienist, was gentle quick. I am actually not dreading cleanings now. Dr. Muhammad is extremely caring and provides a Hollistic approach. She noticed my husband's sinus issues during the X-rays And referred him to an ENT. The staff is so kind and welcoming. This will be my dentist for life! read more

I absolutely adore Dr. Muhammad! Definitely recommend this practice for anyone looking for amazing dental care in Park Slope. Dr. Muhammad is patient, kind, gentle and committed to doing her absolute best dental work on each and every person that walks through the door. I was extremely scared to get my first-ever crowns on my front teeth, but Dr. Muhammad answered every question I had (and there were many), with grace and knowledge. Plus, I was thrilled with my results! Overall amazing experience with Dr. Muhammad and her practice. read more

Brooklyn Oak Dental Care - Two crowns on dead teeth. Good as new! - General Dentistry Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Efficient, gentle, aware of financial realities, and woman-run! It's as pleasant as a dental visit can be!

I moved to Brooklyn from Rhode Island in 2016 and have continued seeing my RI dentist (because he's fantastic) until today. I was given a referral to Dr. Muhammad by one of my colleagues and could not have been happier with my visit. Dr. Muhammad has a wonderfully calm bedside manner; she is knowledgeable and patient, as were her staff. Without going into the specifics, she made what otherwise might have been a difficult procedure easy and painless. I am grateful to her and her staff and will recommend them highly to anyone who asks. Thank you, Dr. Muhammad and team! read more

I made an appointment about two months ago for November 12 (the day after veteran's day). I received a telephone message from Melodie at 3:47pm on the Friday before the appointment stating there was a problem with my insurance. When I returned her call, she knew absolutely nothing about why my insurance wasn't going through, and when I asked for someone to clarify, she said everyone is gone for the day and there was no one to contact. She told me the only way that I could keep the appointment was to pay $449. Needless to say, I was quite frustrated that she had no idea why my insurance was not valid I asked that the dentist or someone from the billing office call me back on Monday morning. I received the following message via text from Nell at 8:55am Monday stating that I had no coverage and the only was I could keep the appointment is if I paid $449. I called my insurance company immediately upon getting this message and confirmed coverage. The insurance company called her and coverage as well. She was obviously irritated at the point and asked me how I would like to proceed. While telling her that I still wanted to keep the appointment, I expressed my displeasure about the 11th hour phone call from Melodie. She then said she would have to speak with the dentist about whether she would see me. I wrote her a message at 9:54am saying I would be there at 11:00am the following day (the time of my scheduled appointment.) I instantaneously received the following text: "New message from Brooklyn Oak Dental Care: Hi Jennifer. I just spoke with Dr. Muhammad. Based on your conversation with Melodie last week and your conversation with me this morning, we are not going to be a good patient practice match. I am cancelling your appointment for this Tuesday. Take care. Sent via NexHealth" I went and spoke to the Dentist (they are right across the street) and she had no knowledge of this whole transaction stating that "she did not get involved with new patient issues". The administrative staff made this decision unilaterally and without ever speaking to the Dentist. The dentist even said if her staff makes a decision, she has to stand behind them. I get that. However, THERE WAS NOT EVEN AN ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN MY CORRECT INSURANCE INFORMATION!!!!!!! Dr. Muhammad, if you are reading this, it is imperative that you train your administrative staff properly, and confirm coverage if there is an insurance issue instead of telling them to say that they are cancelling the appointment unless they fork over $449. read more

Disappointed with this practice. I was quoted for a treatment that turned out to be incorrect per my diagnosis, which also had cheaper and more effective alternative options. I was quoted at a specific price which I paid upfront. Later was told they needed info, which I provided, to have insurance cover the rest of the treatment. Didn't hear from them again until I received a VM saying they were taking me to collections. I inquired again with the office and was told they'd look into it and get back to me, which they never did. I just received my collections bill in the mail which I'll be disputing. So unprofessional. I've always paid my medical bills but I'm not going to pay for something that's misleading or dishonest. Proceed with caution.. read more

Very happy all around! I found Brooklyn Oak Dental Care through Yelp and after reading the reviews decided to give them a try. Even though my insurance (Cigna) is not part of their network they were still able to see me for a basic check up and cleaning (which the insurance covers whether using an in-network doctor or not). When I first walked in I was pleased to see that the reviews were not exaggerating about the cleanliness and pleasantness of the office environment. There was water and coffee available and comfortable chairs and the music playing was pretty nice (not sure what station it was but it was not "elevator music"). I was immediately greeted by the woman at the front desk even though she was having a conversation with the doctor. She stopped for a moment and gave me a warm welcome before finishing up with the doctor. She then gave me the "paper work" to fill out which is done on an Ipad! She said they try to reduce the use of paper as much as possible in an effort to be more green. She told me to have a seat and feel free to have some coffee and water while I filled out the patient info and waited. I didn't have to wait too long to be seen into the room. It wasn't more than 10 minutes after my scheduled appointment. Fran was my hygienist. She was lovely; very pleasant and she taught me why and how to floss properly. After I saw the doctor Fran did my cleaning. I have never experienced a more thorough cleaning before! I practically didn't want to eat anything afterward because my teeth felt so wonderfully clean. When I checked my teeth later I could see a huge difference. There were no spots or buildup on or between the teeth. She did a stellar job. Now to Dr. Muhammad. She is as everyone described. Very warm and kind. We talked a bit about my teeth and since I would need to have an extraction she referred me to an oral surgeon. I'm so glad I went with my gut and trusted the Yelp reviews. This is now my go to dental office and I will keep up with my bi-yearly recommended visits. read more

At a recent regular checkup, I was harassed by a hygienist because of a chronic medical condition. They attempted to belittle and shame me and treated that condition as a curiosity. The situation was so bad that I had to cut the visit short and didn't receive the dental care that I needed. Dr. Muhammad is a talented dentist and has shown compassion in the past. However, no one from the practice has addressed the incident or apologized for the hygienist's behavior. Dr. Muhammad has given no indication that she has any interest in creating a safe environment for her patients. read more

Just have to say what a wonderful, warm group of Doctors and staff. Had to take my mom to get some dental work and they were so comforting, and positive as my mom was a little nervous. I highly recommend them. Now our other family members will be going there. read more

Well my four kids and my husband went there twice and this was the first visit for me today. Everything about the office is pleasant and everyone is courteous and efficient. They take time with every patient and explain so well what they are doing. I am switching from my old dentist with no hesitation. A pearl in the Slope. I had doubts about the other reviews that were so positive that I thought they were fake. Now I understand what they were about. Excellence and kindness. Rare to find in our money orientated society. I just pray they will stay like that. read more

I visited this dentist once and will not be back. There are three reasons why: 1. Weeks before my scheduled appointment I asked them to check with my insurance company to verify coverage of the cleaning and associated X-Rays. They assured me that they do so for every patient before the day of the appointment. When confirming my appointment the day before, I asked them if they had called my insurance company. They said they would call to verify coverage before I came in. I took them at their word. When I went into the appointment I asked a THIRD time if they had called and they said they did not, but that they would while I was in the chair. They gave me an X-Ray assuring me that i was "probably" covered and then shortly after when they got off the phone with my insurance company told me that, unfortunately, the X-Ray was NOT covered and I would have to pay out of pocket. Luckily, I was furious enough to throw a fit and they did not charge me for the procedure. 2. As if this wasn't enough, the hygienist I saw in the beginning of the appointment read my X-Rays and told me that while I still had my wisdom teeth, they were not interfering with any of my other teeth so I could keep them in and not have unnecessary oral surgery. When the actual dentist came in to check my teeth, however, she told me that my wisdom teeth were intruding upon my other teeth and I would have to get them removed right away. She gave me a business card of a recommended oral surgeon. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to throw the hygienist under the bus, but I was not amused at the contradictory advice. 3. I quickly switched dentists and asked for my X-Rays to be sent over to the new office. My new dentist called me three times before the appointment to say that they still had not received the records from Brooklyn Oak, despite requesting them multiple times. I called Brooklyn Oak again and they assured me they would be sent over. When I arrived at the new dentist for my appointment, I was relieved to find that Brooklyn Oak had finally sent the X-Rays. When the new dentist pulled up my X-Rays and started referring to my previous root canals, I was immediately confused. I have never had a root canal! Upon further examination, we discovered that Brooklyn Oak had sent over someone else's X-Rays! At this point, I just had to laugh. read more

Dr. Muhammad is the best! I spent years looking for a decent dentist in Brooklyn and then found Dr. Muhammad through the referral of a friend. She's not only the best dentist I've met in Brooklyn, she's the best I've ever had. Here's what I like about her and her team: -exceptionally gentle and thorough teeth care -prompt appointments with skilled staff -fair pricing and risk management (ie they don't recommend care you don't need) -kind and caring team - they care about you and your holistic well being as well as your dental health Dr. Muhammad oversaw my Invisalign treatment with excellent results, so I saw her and her team nearly monthly. She charged me half of what I'd been quoted for Invisalign treatment elsewhere in Brooklyn. I've also had cavities filled and regular cleaning and check ups. All care has been fantastic. I actually look forward to going to the dentist under her care! I couldn't recommend Dr. Muhammad more highly. You'll be lucky to have her as a dentist and friend. The office is comfortable for all people, and especially welcoming for families. read more

I was recommended Dr. Mohammad from a friend. Everything in her office is state of the art; not to mention, the dentist, and her entire staff are absolute sweethearts. The dentist takes care of her patients with a lot of patience, hard work, and love. I would recommend any and everyone here. My kids aren't fond of any other dentist but her! read more

I had such a great experience today when i went for my new patient exam and cleaning. The receptionist welcomed me with a warm smile and a great attitude. Dr. Taylor was absolutely amazing. Very friendly, honest and had a great touch. Jill my hygienist made me feel very comfortable and she gave me the best cleaning! I can't wait to go back in 6 months to see her. I HIGHLY recommend this dental office. read more

This was my first visit, and I will be going back. The hygienist, Natalia, was very thorough, giving me pointers to increase my dental health. On top of that she was very friendly. Dr. Siama was attentive and up front and forthright about my dental treatment. I would recommend Dr. Siama and her team. read more

Dr. Muhammad and her team are amazing. I usually really dislike going to the dentist, but Dr. Muhammad makes it a pleasure! She is gentle, calm, and explains everything thoroughly. Her dental hygienist and front office staff are friendly and extremely competent. I can't wait to go back. read more

Dr. Siama Muhammad is simply the best. She did my two front veneers after another "dentist" fucking filled them in with the material they use for fillings. Within mins they chipped and I was left with small uneven front teeth. That got stained. Dr. Muhammad not only fixed them she gave me two beautiful front teeth that looks natural. It's been almost 4 years and they are still pristine. I am in the US Navy now and every time I do my annual check-up and cleaning they ALWAYS comment on how well done the veneers are. All 3 dentists and hygienists have complimented them. read more

Brooklyn Oak Dental Care - General Dentistry Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I had my check up, x-rays, teeth cleaning, and exam today. Everything and everyone was great. The process went smoothly, everything was done in one room. Digital x-rays meant less radiation. I was able to see the results quickly projected onto the monitor screen; I followed along as problem areas were explained to me. My hygienist, Fran, carefully went through the cleaning process in a very meticulous manner--very carefully using her dexterity to go over the tooth surfaces and paying special attention to the gum line. Then Dr. Muhhamed came in and did my final check up and exam. She had carefully reviewed my x-rays and gave me advice as to where and what they would be focusing on for my next visit. Everything at Brooklyn Oak is done with high degree of professionalism and expert care. There is plenty of time to ask questions and they are very warm and personable. I'm extremely happy with this office and have no qualms in recommending them whole-heartedly! read more

Best pediatric and adult dentist in Park Slope. Both Dr. Muhammad and Dr. Taylor are wonderful. I have two sons, 2 and 5, who have only positive feelings about dentists thanks to them. They are as friendly as they are skilled. read more

Fran is a wonderful hygienist! They're a bit money-minded, though not unusual for dental offices, so just ask to try to itemize and square away how much exactly you'll have to pay for everything before any appointment to avoid any unpleasant surprises. read more

This review is overdue! Dr Mohammad has been my dentist for three years. From the first visit I have been well taken care of and very happy with all aspects of the practice. Aside from regular check ups and cleaning, over the last year I have been dealing with a troublesome molar that I neglected for too long and it had to be pulled. After discussions about alternatives, I decided to move forward with an implant. I couldn't be more pleased with the result. The office has all the most up to date technologies and I always felt like I was in good hands. The office is wonderfully clean and the staff are extremely friendly. I highly recommend Brooklyn Oak Dentistry for regular dental maintenance as well as Implants. read more

Dr. Muhammad is skilled, knowledgeable, personable and positive. The X-rays were painless, which is new. And, she so praised my dental hygiene, I think of it every time I brush, and it encourages me to do even more. How often in the past have I sat down in the dentist's chair, only to be told what I was doing wrong? Dentists, take note and accentuate the positive! And I like the office. All patient histories are done on tablet, which helps keep the office very clean and free of stacks of old papers and folders. I'm going back in January. read more

I have found my neighborhood dentist, finally! Dr. Muhammad is providing Park Slope with a wonderful service. Like other reviews have pointed out, the space is CLEAN, brightly painted and with a lot of light. The technology is highly up to date. This place is awesome. But best of all: the service. Dr. Muhammad is very calm, intelligent and thorough. Not only that, she explains things in a way that makes you feel motivated to take good care of your teeth. I can't recommend Dr. Muhammad and her team enough and have already convinced my partner to book her next appointment with Dr. M. read more

I recently had a porcelain veneer fall out and needed it re-glued asap. Dr. Muhammad was able to schedule an appointment right away for a painless procedure that took less than 15 minutes. Everyone at the office was welcoming and cordial, which is not something that can be taken for granted in NYC. The office itself is clean and relaxing with lots of natural light, a comfortable atmosphere indeed. I'd recommend Brooklyn Oak Dental Care in a heartbeat. read more

My entire family is taken care of by the team at Brooklyn Oak Dental. I have a 5 and 3 year old and they were so comfortable getting their teeth cleaned and checked. I personally have seen both Dr. Muhammad and Dr. Taylor. They both are very easy going, intelligent and great dentists! They also run on time which is a treat. The administrative staff is very helpful and clear when it comes to making appointments and when dealing with insurance. I've already recommended this group to other friends. read more

After hearing about how great Brooklyn Oak was from my daughter and wife, I finally got to experience them firsthand. I lost a filling last week and Dr. Muhammad checked me out, and put me at ease, explaining that it was not an emergency issue. I arrived on time for my appointment and was seen immediately. Earlier this week Dr. Taylor repaired the tooth painlessly and expertly, making sure that I was comfortable the whole time. Her assistant was friendly and conscientious, as was the staff up front at the desk. The practice overall is upbeat, professional, and courteous. And again - there was no wait. That alone deserves six stars. I'm really happy to have a great new dentist close to home. read more

I absolutely adore Dr. Muhammad. I find myself trying not to fall asleep while she is working on my mouth. I get way too comfortable lol. Everyone in her office is kind, and welcoming. The music playing in the office is always great...I also have to try very hard not to sing and move my body to the music while getting my mouth worked :-) read more

Fantastic place to get your teeth taken care of. I didn't have to wait at all and everyone is super nice and informative. If you live in the area you should definitely give them a try. read more

I highly recommend Brooklyn Oak Dental Care and Dr. Siama's team. After 4 years of hopping from one dentist to another, I can tell you I've finally found a dentist and will encourage my friends and family to pay a visit to the office. My friend referred me to Dr. Siama and made an appointment right away. The space feels like a clean spa instead of a drab dental office. They also are eco-friendly which I highly appreciate! The team including Dr. Siama took their time with me and I did not feel rushed and they made me feel comfortable. If you are on the market for a dentist than I would highly recommend Brooklyn Oak Dental Care. I will be returning for many more visits and am extremely grateful for finding this practice. read more

Dr. Muhammad was kind, knowledgeable, and thorough. She kept me at ease throughout the cleaning and explained everything she was doing. The x-ray technology was state-of-the-art, futuristic and the decor was very warm and inviting. I will definitely come back for a second cleaning. read more

I visited Dr Muhammad back from 2016 because I read all these good reviews about her. Honestly, I think she is a very good dentist however I stopped going there due to one bad deep cleaning experience from her office. Unfortunately I was assigned to a male dentist who gave me too much anesthesia to numb half of my face which I did warn him that I was pretty sensitive and not to give me too much drug. Then I felt a bit panic as my entire left side through to even upper neck were numb which I had never experienced in the past when I had my deep cleaning done. Although the male dentist did call me to make sure I was alright but I felt like no one cared much about me freaking out in the office at that time. I just felt there was not much customer service at all. So after that, I decided not to go there anymore as it seemed like Dr. Muhammad won't have the time to care for all of her patients which meaning if I continue to see her, I might end up seeing other dentists which might not perform as good as her in my opinion. That would defect the purpose of me driving 45 mins from NJ to see her. After stopped going there for a year, I kept receiving my dental insurance letters informing that Brooklyn Oak Dental Care failed to submit the documents for two claims which were done back on 2017. It was clearly stated on my letters that additional information was required to process the claims. Attempts were made but no responses. Then on Jan this year, I received a balance of $504 invoice sent to my home. Without any explanation or the charge break down, I had to do my own research on why I still owe them that much money. So I called my dental insurance to verify these claims and investigated how much I should be paying for those services. It turned out that they overcharged me $156 dollars. I called the office and spoke with the lady who is in charge of the billing. She gave me very lame excuses saying because the insurance rates were not up to date and the insurance never paid them those charges. I just felt that this is a fraud or some dishonest act. How could someone who is in charge not even know the correct rates before billing their patients. Regardless, I waited more than a month to deal with this charge. I am sure she could use that month to figure out what are the correct rates for those services. Besides, even if she was trying to proof that she did nothing wrong. One thing was very clear to me that my upfront copayments for those two visits were not even deducted at all. Of course, she would need to straighten up this whole mess by resending me the new invoices of correct amounts for those two visits. The bottom line is that you'd better double check your invoices before making all these payments. Now, I might want to dig into my past payments to see if I got overcharged or not.

Just got home from my 1st visit and I loved it! I was greeted by, I hope I got her name correctly...Selma. And I was in the care of Dr.Taylor and Tanya. Warm, welcoming and friendly. Relaxing environment. Netflix LoL They take care in making sure you are comfortable and doesn't push unnecessary costs. Very happy to have found them! read more

Great local dentist office. I like the manner of the main dentist and the flexibility they show when appointments need to be moved around.

Dr Taylor is a wonderful wonderful doctor. And my husband goes to Dr Muhammad and says she is also a totally superb doctor. What is wonderful: 1) I felt virtually no pain with the novocaine shots - actually I didn't feel the shots and that has never happened in my whole pain averting life. I don't know how Dr Taylor does it, and I know that it sounds as though I am exaggerating but I really am not. I hope that I don't let you down in case you do feel something, but felt I ought to share. 2) She is incredibly thorough, and actually a perfectionist, but also gentle and efficient. 3) Everyone is so kind and thoughtful and the space is modern, very clean and very comfortable. I've had a lot of dentists over many years but this dental practice has my loyalty, and I wish them well and hope they continue to have a thriving practice. read more

I first discovered Brooklyn Oak with Dr. Taylor who was patient, listened and was refreshingly gentle. However, her replacement, Dr. Muhammed, who I've seen for several years now, almost always comes across as if I'm inconveniencing her when asking questions. She seems a little rushed and with a slight sense of superiority which is very off-putting. I'm not sure if she understands, really understands, that she's drilling holes in peoples heads with permanent ramifications, and that those people may have a question or two before proceeding. I look to my dentist to advise me as an expert in a field I know nothing about but can very much understand as an engineer with a very good sense of three dimensional space and mechanics. By no means was I asking more than was reasonable. Like no other doctor or dentist I've used, I'm quickly rushed and blown off with curt answers and an unwillingness to really listen or give due respect to her client. Maybe she's overbooked, I don't know. I understand not wanting to make other people wait, as she's stated, but I'm certain that those clients would be happy to wait a few minutes if it meant thoughtful, patient care when so much is at stake. I would. I thought it was an anomaly the first three times, but now I know Dr. Muhammed still has something to learn about her patients. I will say, her work is good and the rest of the staff is wonderful. read more

Staff are kind and facilities/equipment are modern. The dentists and hygienists all have great bedside manner and patient care.

I went here awhile back, I wanted to like this place, but I'm at the point where I don't. First off, when I first went the dental hygienist insulted me and made me feel like my teeth were terrible, when I went to an A class dentist prior and my dentist never told me what I heard from the dental hygienist, mind you she was young and my dentist was a middle age man who retired. I visited another dentist and did not hear what the dental hygienist told me. In addition, i was over charge with having insurance. I certainly will not be going back. But don't be fooled, if you don't make a certain amount they certainly have no sympathy to those who can't afford to pay top notch prices with having insurance. I understand they catered to only specific individuals, but providing excel customer service should be uniform to all regardless of class. I will def be making a complaint to NYC consumer affairs on the accounts of discrimination. read more
