I have been reading YELP reviews since the company's inception in late 2004, but very rarely am I inspired to write a review myself. In fact, this is only the 3rd one I've ever written. However, after visiting with Dr. Pyon twice over the past month, I feel it necessary to publicize the fact that she is far and away the most professional, skilled, and trustworthy dentist I have ever worked with. Allow me to explain why I feel this way, and why I have solicited Dr. Pyon to be the dentist for every employee in my company (I run a consulting company with a staff of 20+).
I come from a family of doctors. Almost everyone in my immediate family is a master surgeon, clinician, scientist or MD of some sort. From a young age, I have been taught to inquire about any medical procedure being performed on me in painstaking detail. Before meeting Dr. Pyon, I met and rejected 5 dentists who were unable to demonstrate their knowledge to me sufficiently. One of them is a Fifth Avenue celebrity dentist who has a 6-month waiting list and charged me $400/visit (no insurance accepted). Still not good enough. When I met Dr. Pyon for a consultation, not only was she extremely knowledgeable, she patiently tolerated my barrage of questions, answering calmly and precisely. It was clear to me from that moment on that if I ever became anxious in the chair during a procedure, she would provide the serenity I needed.
I eventually met Dr. Pyon for x-rays, a cleaning, and a teeth-whitening procedure. All were extraordinarily painless and quick. When it comes to pain tolerance, I am about as fragile as an adult child of alcoholic parents, so do not take my description lightly. In addition, the entire visit from the time you enter her office until your departure is as brief as possible. Dr. Pyon has the most modern check-in service, equipment, and works very efficiently/effectively. She is NOT one of those dentists who has their assistant do half the work or one who leaves you in the room alone for 10 minutes while he calls the cleaners to see if his suit is ready. Dr. Pyon gives you her undivided attention. She also followed up with me within 24 hours of each of my visits and made herself accessible through phone and email.
Finally, over the past 20 years, I have had 10+ fillings, 8 teeth extractions, braces, retainer work, 1 root canal, and countless x-rays and cleanings. My only regret is that I didn't meet Dr. Pyon sooner. As you may have gathered by now, I am a notoriously selective and discerning individual, especially when it comes to health care. Suffice to say, if Dr. Pyon passes my hyper-critical assessment, she will pass damn near everyone else's. I would not be surprised if she was the dentist that other dentists trusted with their teef. Save your valuable time. Don't call anyone else. Make an appointment with Dr. Pyon immediately.
