Dr. Zaccarillo and his staff are absolutely amazing. I found his name late on a Monday night with a dental emergency. From my first interaction with Judy, the office manager, I knew this dentists office really cared about their patients. Dr. Zaccarillo is great at his craft and does amazing work. He is so kind and explains everything perfectly. His dental assistant Sabrina is awesome too. I am so happy to have found this practice and will be a patient for many years to come. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. ZACCARILLO.​ read more

Dr. Zaccariello truly saved my day. After an unexpected fall and two chipped teeth, I called Dr. Zaccariello in distress. He fit me in the next day and came in on his day off and bonded my two teeth. My teeth look exactly the same as they did before. He is amazing at what he does and is in this profession because he cares for his patients. I cannot recommend him enough. He knows exactly what he is doing and is truly here to help you. I cannot thank him enough for what he has done for me. He is truly the best of the best!!! read more

Very professional and kind staff. The doctor loves what he does and it shows. Very attentive, kind, and honest.

Hands down , the BEST DENTIST , I've ever been too. Called as a completely new patient for an emergency for my 13 yr old , at 5 pm on a Saturday night . He met us at the office, and spent 3 hours making sure her teeth looked amazing when we left ! . My daughter thought he was fantastic as well. She has severe anxiety when it comes to dental work, but u would never know it at this visit. He's super kind and gentle and patient and u can tell he truly loves what he does . I'd give a million stars if I could read more

As someone who has severe anxiety, specially doctor anxiety he truly made me feel calm and reassured. I would go back a thousand times. Highly recommend him and Ms. Judy is truly amazing! read more

Yesterday was my first appointment with Dr. Zaccariello. I am writing this review because of how in awe I am with the care I received. Because of past traumatic dental experiences with other doctors, I had been extremely anxious for this check up. The care I received from Dr. Zaccariello was unlike any care I've ever received from a dentist, and above most medical practitioners. The patience, continually asking me if I was okay, and thorough treatment was outstanding. Within the first moments with Dr Zaccariello, I felt my nerves at ease. His beautiful office, dental assistant, and phenomenal professionalism stands above any treatment I could have dreamed for. Staten Island is truly lucky to have Dr. Zaccariello practicing dental medicine and I am beyond grateful to have found him for my best health. read more

I had my tooth pulled with no pain at all from the numbing until after it was done they were all great I was very nervous and Dr Goodman and his staff made me feel instantly better he really makes it a painless process and I'm very grateful for them read more

When my Manhattan dentist of nearly 25 years suddenly retired while I was in the midst of getting five implants I decided to stay with the practice. It was the most practical choice and my trusted dentist ensured me the new dentist, who bought the practice, was very well versed in basic dentistry as well as cosmetics and implants. I trusted that. I stuck it out and finished the implants against my better judgment. It did not go well. Fast forward when things began to go wrong... Dr. Richard Goodman came highly recommended years ago but he was in Staten Island of all places. I could not imagine going to another borough for dental work. I finally did when I wanted a new dentist I could trust and potentially stay with for the rest of my life. Dr. Goodman was warm, upbeat and made me feel extremely comfortable. On my first visit, which should have just been an initial exam/consultation, I asked him to replace one of my crowns which was causing me issues. He had a cancellation after my appointment so he was able to continue working on me. He explained everything he was going to do to put me at ease and was both gentle and smooth. I hardly knew he was in my mouth - he's like a DENTAL NINJA. After Dr. Goodman removed the old crown and cleaned the area he made a temporary crown that fit in like a Lego piece. He carved it right in front of me and It just snapped into place. I was shocked. It fit perfectly! I went back two weeks later for the permanent crown and the process was just as easy - no need for novocaine. I have since had a cleaning and am going later this week to be fitted for Invisalign to straighten some shifting teeth. Lastly, Dr. Goodman's prices are extremely affordable. The cost of my crown was 50% less than my former Manhattan dentist. I would have saved a bundle had I been going to Dr. Goodman over the years. Note: I took the express bus one stop from downtown Manhattan to Dr. Goodman's practice on Lambert's Lane in Staten Island. It was super easy to get to, the office is newly renovated, the walls are covered with beautiful, colorful photos taken by Dr. Goodman. He is a passionate and talented photographer. Judy, the front desk manager, is very welcoming. The office is conveniently opened on Saturdays as well. This is the guy to see. read more

Daniel D. Zaccariello, DDS. - First visit to Dr. Goodman. January 2020 - General Dentistry Near Me - Staten Island, New York

Great dentist. He is very gentle. I had a root canal done with zero pane, that made me very happy. Super team.

Avoid this office, very deceitful. I went in for a simple procedure - a crown fell out and needed to be put back in. There was a cracking sound, the doctor said let me see but then did not comment on what exactly had happened. I took out a pretty large piece from my mouth and handed it to him as a hint - still silence. Then I asked him directly - was that a piece of my tooth? He said yes. After he commented on bad quality of the crown done at another office and suggested replacing it, I asked whether it was a piece of the crown that fell out. He said yes again. So which was it - a piece of a tooth (same or neighboring) or the crown? Either way, there is a hole that I feel with my tongue, which I will now need to pay a lot of money to get fixed. As if that was not enough of a bad experience, the front office lady had the audacity to ask me to pay $100 out of pocket. After I had repeatedly asked her to let me know IN ADVANCE if there was any out of pocket charge. I told her my insurance is supposed to fully cover it. As it turned out, she had not even checked how much the insurance was covering, so the $100 charge was some randomly made up number to test how much more they could get out of me. REALLY? Shameful. Can't wait to see how much they are going to charge my insurance for the job done so badly. Will update this review when the charge comes through. read more

From the moment I stepped in the door, Dr. Goodman's staff was friendly and welcoming. They let me know what was gonna be done ahead of time and kept me in the loop of timing and future scheduling the entire time! While in the chair, it was great to chat with the Doctor as he informed me of what he could do that day, could being the buzz word. It was all up to me and what I felt comfortable paying or sitting through at that time. Best dentist appointment I've ever had by far!!!! read more

Dr. Goodman is an exceptional dentist. I've been going to him for treatment for many years and even though I now live in Manhattan I still know it's worth my while to take the day off and go to Staten Island for an appointment. I trust this doctor to provide me the most superior care and attention possible and he has always met or exceeded my expectations. He also makes sure I'm treated gently and painlessly and will always be straightforward in assessing my current and foreseeable dental needs. I therefore give Dr. Goodman my highest recommendation. You will too. read more

This was the best dental experience that I ever had. It was only a routine cleaning but was by far the most thorough. Dr. Goodman was professional, attentive and had an excellent chair side manner. He made me feel very comfortable. He asked me often if I felt any discomfort throughout the process. He had a very gentle approach unlike other dentists. If a routine cleaning is given with such great care, it speaks volumes of how he practices as a dentist. I will definitely return and have already recommended him to family and friends. read more

Dr. Goodman is the best dentist I've ever been to. Being so afraid of the dentist, he makes me feel so comfortable and is extremely gentle. He makes sure you feel no pain and is very patient dealing with me and my fears!! He's is absolutely the best. I recommend him to everyone I know! Thanks Dr. Goodman for everything!!!!!! read more

I would not recommend Dr. Goodman's services. He doesn't care of you. Every time he sees you he sees the dollar sign. Horrible service and very expensive. You can get better work performed at another dental office and not pay as much money. Totally waist of time and money. Will never recommend. read more

I've had a lot of bad dentists in my lifetime. The bad experiences discouraged me from maintaining consistent dental care. I ended up finding Dr. Goodman through the yellow pages (anyone remember those?) because I had a bad tooth ache that required immediate attention. Dr. Goodman is by far the best dentist I have ever encountered. I've been seeing him for the last 6 years. He is very patient and most importantly, I dont feel any pain when he works on my teeth! It is a true family feeling in his office from all the people who work for him and with him. For all the people who criticize his work and call it overpriced, you get what you pay for! If you want bargain basement prices then the performance will mirror it! His prices reflect the amazing work he does! I highly recommend Dr. Goodman! read more

I went to get a general check up and teeth cleaning after a friend recommended him. This office is out of the way for me, but when my friend recommends someone I usually try them out. Making the appointment was fast and easy and the lady who answered the phone was really pleasant and didn't seemed rushed. I made my appointment for early in the day. This is words of wisdom, I work in the service industry and the last thing you want is a tired person who has been doing something all day to then service you (ditto for hair dressers, optometrists, doctors, golf instructors) ------Impressions (no pun intended) ------- -The office is nice and clean and has a "this guy has been doing this a while feel". Which I like. All my interactions with the staff were great. They did my X-Rays fast without jabbing up my gums with those bite down plastic things. - Dr. Goody (as he likes to be called) is very friendly and acted like he really cared. He did my teeth cleaning himself (something I've never experienced). It wasn't painful. I told him my previous experiences with getting my teeth cleaned and he informed me my teeth aren't supposed to be in pain from cleaning and added, "if you do it correctly that is." He went over my x-Rays and explained everything well. -This place is hands down way better than the cleaning mills I have experienced in Manhattan. Normally the dentist shoves his fingers in your mouth for 2 seconds and says something like "floss more...everything looks good" leaves, then the hygienist finishes and your out the door with a painful mouth from the previous women-like floss monster who seems to have been trained by Mengele. Not this place. This place is fast and efficient but gentle and caring. Goody is one of the 0.5% of people that really loves their profession and it shows. read more

By far and away the best dentist experience I've ever had. The only time going to the dentist was truly 100% painless and comfortable, and the results were perfect. Dr. Goodman separates himself from other dentists by actually caring deeply about the patients' experience and he'll go out of his way to get the most perfect results. You won't wince once and your teeth will look better than ever. Plus he's the man. Nicest guy ever. Worth the trip to SI if you don't live there. read more

This could be a lengthy review, almost an essay simply because of the road I've been on to get to Dr Goodman's dental surgery. After a few years of avoidance of any dentist and my last visit was to an exceptional dentist in Ubud, Bali I found myself in an emergency situation: right rear molar filling fell off leaving a huge hole and a whole lot of weird sensations. I knew of a few dentists where I live (south Brooklyn) but ringing around and even visiting a surgery soon found it to be more about insurance and money and not care. Through a friend I was told of Dr Goodman and so I called and from that initial conversation (a lot of care, a lot of questions, and a just come in, I'll look at it and go from there. Made the treck on Saturday afternoon, last patient, and from the beginning it was a different experience. Met with Dr Goodman and he set me at ease. We talked, discussed, had the x-ray and exam (the exam was painless) and after much talking of the outcome I said yes to the filling. I can say I have never had a painless experience and when I say painless, I mean absolutely painless. The needle going in was as though nothing was happening, not even a lick sharp prick. He left the room while I waited for the numbness, this was repeated until he was absolutely sure I was numb. Dr Goodman explained every step of the way and constantly checked in to make sure I was good. Right down to the last of the work not a pain. The tooth had gone through some crazy times, several fillings (all botched and patched and growing larger by the filling) and now finally after years I have found my dentist. If I had Dr Goodman 20 years ago my teeth would have been in much better shape. I am not even getting into his staff here as they too were great. Do yourself a favour and seek out his expertise, the best dentist I could recommend and I'm not one to write reviews but in this case and especially with a dentist I see the value and the importance as most of us have had bad experiences. read more

Dr. Goodman is the best dentist I have ever had! He cares deeply for his patients and ensures his work is careful, thorough, and pain free. His assessments are always clear to understand and honest. When he makes a recommendation I trust it because he has never steered me wrong. In 6 years as his patient I'm proud to say I have never had a bad experience and I've recommended him to countless friends and family. The rest of the staff is pleasant and helpful as well. read more

After years of being self conscious of my teeth, Dr. Goodman did what I thought was impossible, he gave me a beautiful smile! No other dentist that I went to cares about his patients as much as he did. After only a few months of using Clear Correct to straighten my teeth, than getting porcelain crowns for my 2 front teeth, I finally can smile with confidence! (The proof is in the picture) Not only does he do cosmetic dentistry well, but any other dental procedures he does flawlessly and makes sure you're comfortable the entire time. read more

Been going to him since I had my first set of teeth. His staff and him are very friendly and welcoming. I was terrified to get my top wisdom teeth removed, he told me not to worry I won't feel a thing. I was still nervous, but he was right & I didn't feel a thing, and felt no pain afterwards. I highly recommend Dr. Goodman, he is a true professional. read more

The BEST dentist!! I had to have a tooth pulled and I literally felt nothing not even the numbing portion of the process! Dr. Goodman has a wonderful bedside manner.. Not sure if I should be mentioning this but since I have crap insurance they had to charge an out of pocket fee but he worked with me, I have never been to a dentist office where they work with you!! And the staff Judy and Jenn are by far the sweetest and accommodating assistants ever!! I know a couple of doctors that should send their staff to these young ladies to be trained on how to treat patients! Love this place thank you so much!!! read more

There are many bad dentists out there however Dr. Goodman is not one of them. Dr Goodman & all of his staff are awesome! Upon walking in I was greeted by Judy. She is so friendly, has such a positive attitude and is so helpful. Not once did I feel uncomfortable while in the office. I was seen and given recommendations and I left there completely trusting him. The quality of care here is outstanding! I am so glad I have found a new dentist. I would highly recommend him to everyone! read more

I am not one to write online reviews but I had to after this experience because I feel I have to let others know about this amazing dentist. I don't trust doctors or dentists, and especially have a fear of dental work and Dr. Goodman somehow calmed my nerves as soon as he walked in the room. somehow I felt I could trust him and it turned out to be true. I had an old filling (from a different dentist 8 years ago) and I had to get a root canal - I was terrified. It all turned out to be fine and painless and I feel much better now after the work. I have had several dentists in my past and I've never encountered a more gentle conscientious dentist that Dr. Goodman. He is also extremely meticulous, precise and detail-oriented. You can tell he really cares about every patient and every treatment he performs, and the result is happy teeth and a confident smile from me. I am now working with him to finally straighten my teeth using invisalign, and so far the process has been easy and painless. I will be recommending all of my friends to come to him, even if they have to travel a bit because he's a rarity. Definitely top-notch dental care for Staten Island and New York City. read more

I've been going to Dr Goodman for 30 years. He is the best! He is very gentle; he never hurts me. He does the cleanings himself and is a perfectionist. his staff is very professional and the office atmosphere is friendly. I never wait more than 5 minutes for my appointments. Goody is also very responsive and available if you have a dental emergency. Highly recommend. Best dentist on Staten Island! read more
