Got in on time with an appointment at 8:30am, and…read morewas welcomed by a sign on the reception desk that said they would return soon from a team meeting. There were some hiccups but in all, the hospitable service made up for it - the system was down but they found other ways to retrieve my pre-filled forms, and I waited a good 10 min to see Dr. Czarnik after my cleaning was done. Finally got out around 9:45am. The office is modern and chic and the waiting room comes with a wine cart inviting you to treat yourself (what?!) Note: the dentist you book with on ZocDoc may not be the one you'll see on your appointment, so it'd be best to confirm if you're going for a specific dentist.

I know how hard it is to find a good dentist so when I moved to NYC I asked around and decided to…read morego to the dentist most of my office was seeing, "Aesthetic Dentistry" in the West Village. This experience turned into a nightmare. I have never been afraid of dentists as I have generally had good experiences. I take very good care of my teeth, but for some reason, I suddenly needed two filler replacements and two onlays. This is the most amount of work I have ever needed. While I thought this was crazy, I went ahead with the replacements, because I was moving in 6 weeks to yet another city and my office trusted this dentist. The dentist did some of the work and then let his assistants work on my teeth. When I left I experienced quite a bit of pain. They told me to come back in for some adjustments. I was told I would be seeing a dentist. When I got there, the dentist said hello and then the assistant worked on my teeth. Again, I left and had pain. I was at the dental office every other day for a month trying to get "the adjustments" fixed so I wouldn't have pain. I have never had to get "adjustments". In my experience, dentists have gotten their work right the first time. My last experience was my final onlay. Again after the onlay was put in I had to get adjustments done cause I couldn't chew without pain. The assistant working on my tooth didn't numb me. She drilled away hitting a nerve. I screamed in pain and tears rolling down my cheeks. I kept telling her it hurt. She said, "I know. I am sorry. I am almost done." It took nearly 3 months for the nerve pain to go away from that tooth. Another tooth continues to bother me. The dentist told me he drilled close to the nerve. He then told me, in 3 months if I still have pain I will need a root canal. Well it has been 5 months. I still can't chew on the right side of my mouth. Why the "F" do I need a root canal after seeing this dentist. I didn't need one before! I didn't even have problems with my teeth before going to this dental office. This dental office also had the audacity to bill me once more after I moved. After they told me I had everything settled. Two months after I moved, they told me my insurance wouldn't cover EVERYTHING. Awesome.. since when I was there they told me my insurance company would pay up to this and this amount. I paid the hefty remaining balance. In any case, I am now in another city... still in pain with no dental insurance and deathly afraid to see another dentist (I didn't have a fear of dentists before). I never want to experience this kind of pain again, both physically and financially.

One time in particular stuck out to me is when my spouse needed an emergency dental procedure asap. We called Gentle Dental after hours and to our surprise they had an emergency line and spoke with a staff member at 11pm that night. We went to see the medical team there who extracted my spouses tooth and gave him the medication he needed to recover. The only feedback I would give to the staff is that the tv constantly plays FOX News, which says sometimes very disturbing things about people of color and individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. I would recommend changing to station to something such as a weather channel, channel 12, or PBS. That why the office doesn't feel like political battlefield which adds to the already stressful environment of being at a dentist office.

When I first visited this office, I felt hopeful. The staff seemed knowledgeable, welcoming, and…read moregenuinely committed to helping me start my orthodontic journey. I paid for my Invisalign treatment in full, trusting I'd receive quality care. Unfortunately, the experience took a sharp turn. I was told I'd hear from Invisalign within two weeks--but that timeframe came and went with no update. When I followed up, I was met with vague explanations and shifting responses. No accountability, no clear communication. After requesting to cancel treatment, the orthodontist's wife--who helps manage the office-reached out to me in attempts to explain the breakdown in communication. Her first reason for their office disorganization was due to her staff whom she called "clueless". Later, she used a personal death as an excuse for the office's delays which was neither here nor there for me due to the fact that it was only communicated only after I had already expressed concerns multiple times. While I absolutely sympathize with personal loss, it should never be used to deflect from a pattern of inefficiency. If there are unusual circumstances that knowingly creates a lag in business, That information should have been professionally communicated to clients as soon as it occurred. It is a form of courtesy in the least and at best, shows consideration and respect for the client's business and time. While speaking with the doctor's wife, what was most insulting was her assumption about my finances. She told me I should continue treatment with them because it would be "too expensive" for me elsewhere--as if she had any insight into what I could or could not afford. That level of overstepping was completely inappropriate. Not only did they delay my treatment but I had to repeatedly DEMAND cancellation. Instead of honoring my decision, they repeatedly tried to convince me to continue, using pressure tactics rather than professionalism by having mutliple people reach out to me (doctor, staff, wife) when I clearly stated that I did not want to speak with anyone and simply wanted to cancel. And when they finally canceled treatment as I requested , they retroactively charged me for a cleaning I had received at the start--one that was originally presented as complimentary. This felt retaliatory and only confirmed my decision to walk away. As previously stated, the doctor's wife repeatedly emphasized how great of a deal I was getting and how I wouldn't be able to afford any other provider or find that price else where. Ironically, I found another provider offering the exact same price, with a more modern facility, efficient communication, and respectful staff--no manipulation, no excuses. If you're considering long-term orthodontic care, I encourage you to look for an office that respects your time, your intelligence, and your investment. And to the staff I'd be careful working for an employer who disrespects and throws you under the bus privately to their clients to save face for "the business". In truth, unknowledgeable staff says more about the management and leadership. Lastly, (this is the kicker) I called the office to request my X-rays so I could transfer them to another provider. The receptionist informed me that there was only 1 shot availble from the full set that was taken initially. When I ansked what happed to them. She said..."I Don't know." She emailed me the image which I have uploaded for your viewing pleasure. As you can see it's unlabeled/undated and truthfully. I'm Not sure how even the doctor read that one. Who knows what that is or to whom it belongs. Long story short. I Definitely would not recommend treatment at this facility. Ever. If I could give 0 starts and post the review. I would.

Yes, their office is gorgeous and straight out of Architectural Digest, and the staff is fawning, like overly needy friends (the word "Stepford" comes to mind) -- until the deal is closed. I went to Center for Smiles when my previous dentist, Dr. Kuncio, sold her practice to him. He turned out to be the opposite of Dr. Kuncio, who was honest and straightforward, and very mindful of what her patients could afford. To my knowledge, none of her staff who went to work at Center for Smiles is still employed there. Indeed, there seemed to be a high turnover of staff at Center for Smiles in the 15 months I was a patient there. Some highlights: 1. Vidya Sartorious, the office manager, collected $6,000 from Care Credit on my behalf when only $1,100 worth of work had been done. 2. Failed to file for preauthorization with my denta; insurance, as promised, so my claim was denied. 3. Vidya Sartorious (at the behest of Dr. Rallis) tried to rush me into completing this work, and pushed up demands for MORE money, directly contradicting Dr. Rallis' prior verbal agreements with me. 3. Dr. Rallis did not listen to my concerns, and failed to reconsider his treatment plan for a $23K bridge, even after I repeatedly expressed doubt because of underlying infections and pain in the affected teeth. ("We can take care of that infection afterwards, with an apicoectomy." But first we will put a $23K 10-tooth bridge on top? Umm,no.) 4. After I appealed to Care Credit, Dr. Rallis claimed to have done an additional $1645 worth of work, which, if true, was done without my knowledge, permission, or consent. I expressly withdrew my consent that very day, before this work was done, until my insurance preauthorization was worked out. I did not and would not have given permission for this work. I only agreed to a temporary bridge. 5. Did not file with my insurance company for this additional work, either, although it would have been denied for failure to get a preauthorization, the issue I confronted them with that very day. 6. Has yet to send me a copy of my x-rays after several months, and refused delivery of my second, certified mail request. This is just the tip of the iceberg of this very unfortunate experience, with further legal action pending.

My experience was the same as those who felt this practice's main aim was to take as much money as…read morethey could. My son who had no dental insurance needed root canal. He went to Dr. Ralis because his previous dentist retired and sold her practice to Dr. Ralis. His charge was $800 more than my dentist whom my son ultimately used. After Dr. Ralis assessed him for the root canal he suggested that even though my son was having no problems, that he have his wisdom teeth pulled and then Dr. Ralis would adjust his bite. When my son asked my dentist about this, he said that yes his bite was a little off but there was no negative impact and no reason to do the work if he wasn't having any issues. I can only imagine what Dr. Ralis would have charged. As another reviewer said , they are overly fawning. They try to act as if they are your best friends not your dentist. They also convinced me to buy an electric tooth brush from them for $150 that i could have gotten online for $110. Very sorry I was pressured and taken in my them for that but very happy they didn't do my son's root canal. My advice is to go elsewhere. I see Dr Michael Feldstein in Flushing. He is honest, competent and reasonably priced. I would recommend him. Stay away from Dr. Ralis and Center for Smiles

Immediately the dentist said he would need to replace the upper 2 good crowns before being able to address the missing crowns because my bite had changed. For this they wanted $3600 ($1800 per crown). That was all I needed to hear. I formally told them I was done and to give me my X-rays.
