I went to Dr. Shin for a second opinion on a molar with root canal treatment failure, based on a…read morerecommendation from someone I know. After reviewing a new X-ray, Dr. Shin told me the tooth had a vertical fracture and strongly recommended extraction. She was very confident in her diagnosis, telling me it was almost certain. She also performed a probing test and maintained her conclusion. I felt uncomfortable because I had already provided an X-ray from earlier that week, and I try to minimize unnecessary radiation. I also felt that other treatment options, such as re-treatment or surgical approaches, were not fully discussed. During the visit, I was surprised by how quickly extraction was recommended. I left feeling pressured, uncertain, and discouraged about trying to save my tooth. Ultimately, I trusted this advice and proceeded with extraction. Afterward, I learned that the tooth had no fracture. Looking back, I wish I had sought more opinions and explored all treatment options before making this irreversible decision. This was a very difficult experience for me, and I would encourage other patients to always get multiple professional opinions--especially for complex cases. UPDATE 2026: Very disappointing billing experience. I paid the amount requested on the day of service, but many months later I received another bill that did not appear to account for my previous payment. The explanation provided also did not match the insurance claim details. After I formally disputed the charge, the office adjusted my balance to zero. I strongly recommend reviewing all statements carefully and keeping your receipts.

Hands down, the most unprofessional and abusive medical experience I've ever had in my entire life,…read morebar none. This wretched, hole in the wall, battlefield triage clinic of dental butchery is filled with an incompetent gaggle of misandrous shrews. I went in to have an old filling redone, and the dentist assigned to me was an early 20-something girl apparently fresh out of dental school. We seemed to get along great for the first couple of visits (mostly cleanings and simple things). Then next visit was for a filling and as she started drilling, searing pain shot through me and we had to stop. I apologized, explained that I've always had a problem getting numb, but to give me another shot, wait a few minutes and see if I could go on. She did and started drilling again after a few minutes. Wanting to get the filling done, I tried to endure as much pain as I could, but it was too much and while holding my mouth in agony, tears welling up in my eyes, I apologized again, saying that I was sorry and that I wasn't trying to be a difficult patient or make her job harder, but that I was just in incredible pain. She then gave me this look of anger and disgust and walked away shaking her head. Her assistant came afterwards to clean up and said I should come back and try another day. Now, you would think a patient apologizing to her for the pain she was inflicting on them, would prompt her to say something like, "Oh, no need to apologize! It's not your fault. If you're in pain, just let me know so we can try something different." But no, bizarrely she became livid at me like I did something wrong! The look she gave me was like I had insulted her dead mother while slapping her child! I couldn't figure out what the hell just happened. Up until then, we had been very friendly but I saw the look in her face and realized that something had changed and that my next visit to that office wasn't going to be pleasant. But I made a follow up appointment anyway and came back. The 20 something dentist came to the front desk, saw me and dashed off to the back. I could already imagine the entire drama unfolding back there; the lies/story she'd be telling the head dentist about me. The walls are low and paper thin, so even though I couldn't make out much of what she was saying, the insistent, urgent tone and almost hysterical edge to her voice was clear. Whatever story she was cooking up back there, it was a whopper. Immediately, I knew how this was going to go down, but I thought, there was a chance that when the head dentist meets me, she'll see immediately that I'm a totally different person from whatever impression Chicken Little just painted of me to her. However, I left nothing to chance. I became a human Quaalude - just the most zen, peaceful, calm, mild and pleasant person you could ever hope to meet. So when Maria Acebo, the head dentists walked into the room instead of the 20 something, I wasn't surprised. I said, "good morning" in a soft, dulcet tone, smiling gently and was absolutely milquetoast. As predicted, Acebo was curt with me; irritated, in a rush, absent minded and I could see that she trying to find something wrong with me or what I said to justify kicking me out. She went to give me an injection to numb my mouth and I told her about my numbing difficulties, to which she immediately said that I should go to a different dentist that offered general anesthesia. Stunned at her naked effort to get rid of me, I explained that no insurance covers general anesthesia for non surgical procedures so I'd have to have it done under local. But she knew that already and was just trying to pull a fast one. She said she'd make an appointment with a specialist for me, and then I heard her on the phone with another dental clinic, actually trying to transfer me over to them as a patient without my consent! I calmly asked her if that's what she was doing and that's when she finally found something she could use as an excuse to create a fake argument. While I stood there calmly, she exploded in the most absurd, over the top and psychotic display of melodrama rivaling one of the Real Housewives of New Jersey; yelling at the top of her lungs, putting on a wild show for the 20 something dentist and her staff (as well as the patients in the waiting room) and bellowed at me to get out and that I was no longer a patient there and never to come back. The final act of her little soap opera was complete and I left there happily, never wanting to set foot in that viper nest again. Ever since, I've been going to the NYU dental clinic and it's been hands down the best dental experience I've ever had. The students are better dentists than the riff raff employed at Maria Acebo's Tijuana donkey show of a dental practice. Avoid this emotionally unhinged mercurial quack at all costs. Your teeth will thank you for it, as will your blood pressure.

I left feeling more informed and recognized my "best practices" were contributing to my sensitive teeth rather than helping them. I was told not to use Sensodyne toothpaste everyday (only when needed, don't use any other whitening products (especially baking soda) other than the crest whitening strips (followed by sensodyne) on my teeth. The strips are safer than baking soda. As for my cleanings, she put numbing cream in my mouth first. I've never had another dentist do that before. My teeth were still sensitive though and she did tap into my bottom lip a bit and I left with it bleeding and swollen. It did heal fast but it was tough to eat for 24 hrs. I also liked that they provide a fluoride treatment after cleanings; however, I'm glad I asked about insurance coverage beforehand since mine didn't cover it. Expect to pay around $35 out of pocket or opt out. I was previous prescribed a fluoride toothpaste so I passed on it and decided to use my toothpaste instead. Other than that I did like how clean my teeth came out. I'll attach a before and after photo.

A dentist at this office used 10-month-old X-rays to make a referral for a root canal... on a tooth that had already had a root canal just four months ago. That means one of two things happened: she either reviewed the wrong X-rays or failed to ask even the most basic questions about my recent dental history. Either way, that's unacceptable. Because of this, I was led to believe something was wrong with the wrong tooth. Trusting the "expert," I moved forward--only to end up getting a root canal on a completely different tooth that likely just needed a filling. Let that sink in. When I called the office to address this, the front desk staff--who are consistently unfriendly--treated me like I was inconveniencing them just by asking questions about my own care. It gets worse. The dentist called me back and initially doubled down, telling me I was wrong and insisting I had never had a root canal on that tooth. I literally had to explain, "I can feel the crown--I had this done over the summer." Only then did she finally recheck and realize she had been looking at outdated X-rays. Then came the apology. At that point, the damage was already done. Mistakes can happen--but this wasn't a small oversight. This was a chain of errors, poor communication, and dismissiveness that resulted in unnecessary dental work and significant cost. I personally know four other people who used to go here and have since left--and not because of my experience, but because of their own negative ones. This place has a pattern. You are trusting people with your health, your body, and your money. You deserve better than rushed decisions, outdated information, and a staff that treats you like a burden. Please, go somewhere else.

The only thing this Nassau associates care about is the amount they can bill you." I didn't want to reinvent the wheel, so I'm simply referencing a previous review. This was my EXACT experience. They would tell you they need a stool sample if insurance covered it. I've had decent cleanings before, but this last one played out exactly like the patient above described. My teeth, especially the inner-side still feels rough and "gritty." When I got home and examined in the mirror, I couldn't believe how much plaque was left behind. This is about my fifth visit with them, and I'm definitely severing the relationship. Ugh!
