I was very disappointed with my experience at . While the office staff was fine, Dr. Hemali M Ajmers . was incredibly presumptuous and lacked basic professional courtesy. Instead of listening to my concerns, they spoke over me and made me feel like an inconvenience. I won't be returning to a practice where the provider is this dismissive of their patients.I tried to explain a concern for my son's teeth , she interrupted me and said " stop stop stop stop , you are talking too much . We were met with a rude, 'know-it-all' demeanor that felt very dismissive. A little empathy goes a long way in dentistry, but I felt judged rather than cared for. I would recommend looking elsewhere if you value a doctor who listens . read more

Caring and professional staff, excellent work. Family run. Both the flexibility with scheduling and the very convenient location are also great for me. Highly recommended! read more

Worst wait times I've ever experienced. Super slow. Not considerate of others time. Seriously was astonished how long I was waiting.

2-HOUR WAIT TIME! STAY AWAY! THEY SUUCCCKKKK!!!!! Every time I've come I didn't get seen until two hours after my scheduled appointment time. They let people who arrived long after me be seen before me. And when I complained about it, I got treated like I was the one who did something wrong. She said "Don't behave like that here, or you're not coming back here." Damn right I'm not coming back here! read more

Pains me to write this because I've been coming to this practice for a while but I am always seen by her mother (who is great!). I met with Hemali for the first time this time around and she is so unprofessional! I cannot take away from the fact that the cleaning she did was done well but while we engaged in small talk, we discussed me having 3 children. She proceeded to ask me who fed all of them my husband or the government. I was at a loss for words. I don't understand why anyone would say something like that. Not everyone has the same financial status and if in fact a family needs government assistance, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Also I don't see what about me made her think that was my case. She also proceeded to try selling me her teeth whitening services which upon my exit told me to start saving for it. This ties into the government comment, I guess she thought I was poor and made it a point to keep poking at it. read more

If I can leave you with any advice, GET A SECOND OPINION. She will swipe your credit card before you even get out of the chair. I spent a lot of money on one tooth, the crown, her "friend" who did a root canal and when I complained, she said "you just have something stuck between your tooth". I went and got a second opinion and they told me that I needed to extract my tooth entirely because the work was done so poorly. $2,000 later and I officially do not trust dentists. read more

I agree with the other reviews recently, this doctor's game would like to have prepaid services and charged your card right away. It's a rip off! The office is dirty, the ceiling, disorganized as well. I won't coming back and won't recommend the office. This requires major overhaul improvement, physically and professionally. read more

I had similar experiences as the other reviews on here and wish I had done more research before making my appointment... I was also upset because I did not realize I had made an appointment to see Dr. Dina. I made an appointment to see Dr. Hemali Ajmera (her daughter), the gentle dentist with the excellent reviews, yet when I arrived Dr. Dina was the only dentist seemingly present and performed my exam. I asked her her name as she obviously did not resemble the person in the picture with the reviews and she replied Dr. Dina Ajmera. I tried to be open minded, but I should have gone with my instinct in not having her work on me. Dr. Dina is very rough and doesn't appear to have any concept of pain. With tears streaming down my face she actually looked at me and told me I shouldn't be feeling pain from her using a tool on my gums. I told her to stop because I was in extreme pain and reminded her I have underlying facial pain issues and she still stared blankly at me and told me I felt no pain, even as my gums were bleeding profusely. How could a trained dentist (let alone anyone) know what my pain receptors feel? I wish she could feel what my head was feeling. Dr. Hemali Ajmera, her daughter, however was very gentle, professional, and understanding of my pain the two times I have seen her. I ask to see her at each appointment, but unless I am extremely forceful I do not know if I will or not. It should not take this much energy to ask and verify that you are indeed seeing the dentist you made your appointment with. She is only at the office 2-3 days a week as far as I can tell however, but I do highly recommend her. I have had a tough time finding trustworthy dentists who take union insurance. It's difficult when you don't understand dental x-rays. I simply asked for copies of my X-rays and for simple notes stating my appointment dates for work absence purposes and Dr. Dina refused (I've never had a dentist refuse this). I am still waiting. I doubt online reviews do much, but it's all I can do at this point. (And yes, yelp, the photo is helpful in distinguishing who is who: Dr. Hemali Ajmera is on the left, Dr. Dina (Ajmera) is on the right) read more

I had gone to another dentist to get a cleaning and exam, where he told me I had 2 cavities. Suspicious that he was lying I went to Ajmera Dental Center to get a second opinion. As suspected, I didn't have a single cavity! Both dentists even came in to examine my teeth after they learned about the other dentist's made up claim. All my dental needs will be taken care of at Ajmera Dental from now on. Plus the place is super convenient to get to, the staff is very kind, and the dentists are all skilled. Highly recommended. read more

These are the dirtiest and old fashioned family dentists in all Bronx I ever met (Mukesh, Dina and Hemali) No ethic. Should be inspected and retire. They don't allow the assistants use gloves... that's illegal!!! they don't sterilize the instruments, just put them in a box with dirty liquids, they cut the bibs in two for the patients to economize , what a shame!! Don't you get enough money from your patients? If you don't care about the population health and exploit the assistants is better to close your offices. The old dentists Ajmera (can't do even a good cleaning in a kid, he treat bad the patients, he gets stressed just with 8 patients a day (half of them kids) all the family is rude and without education, the daughter Ajmera is thinks she's superior and she's not even a specialist, all of them are just general old fashioned dentists. Like a foreign dentist with a master I saw so many unethical jobs there, poor patients.... please, do yourself a favor.... stay away!!!! read more

I have been going to Dr. Ajmera for all my family's dental needs for the last 20+ years. I couldn't be happier with their quality of service and attention to detail. They're extremely accommodating about scheduling appointments and in an extremely accessible location. Highly recommend them for all dental needs! read more

The credit card company & I had a conference call w/Dr. Dina Ajmera last week. She told us both she would contact her credit card company to refund my money & get back to me on Friday. It is Sunday & no call. She responded to the BBB complaint I filed stating she offered me a refund check & that I had refused the check & the problem was w/my credit card company & that I was so happy w/their work! The services were not rendered, it was a prepayment! However, during last week's call w/my credit card company Dina stated she was advised not to issue me a refund check. Go figure! LIARS & CROOKS! Stay Away! read more

Dr Dina and Dr Hemail are the best. Professional, courteous, great to talk to, make you feel comfortable and they are extremely knowledgeable. They explain things directly and thoroughly, and took the time to explain everything thing before doing it to make you feel better and more healthy in terms oral hygiene, as opposed to sell you on things. I took my kids 3 year old and 6 year old and they were so comfortable with the Doctors no crying absolutely and they very so happy to get their cavity filled. They did an excellent job. They kids are actually looking forward to my next trip back to the dentist! read more

My experience was dreadful ! Lets start with the fact that I waited one hour when dr dina ajmera finally emerged . I explained to her my primary concern which was a molar cavity id noticed. She completely disregarded said cavity and began to question an unfinished tooth implant I began 4 months ago with a different dentist . It made me really uncomfortable Who is the dentist? Where is the dentist ? What kind of dentist ? why the line of questioning if that is not the reason Im in your chair dr dina ? After the questions began the most painful teeth cleaning of my life. She was so rough, there was water splashing all over my face and she kept pausing to talk to the receptionist who darted back and forth with questions that could surely wait . Now for the worst part of this whole ordeal . She started scraping at the cavity deeper and deeper until SHARP PAIN was felt . I closed my mouth sat up and asked "what are you doing ?! . She replied "I am trying to see how deep is the cavity " to which I say " shouldn't you be able to see how deep the cavity is from the xray ? She says "yes but also I have to check" so against my better judgement I lie back down open my mouth and again she sticks her scraping tool into my cavity and sharp PAIN is the result. I shot up and told her not to touch me if she isnt going to give me anesthesia. She says " I was hoping we wouldn't have to inject you" (what??thehell) she fillled the hole she scraped in my tooth with a "temporary" fill in that fell out the next day . I will never return to this dental office and neither should you . She is the kind of dentist that give painless procedures a bad reputation . Complete dental nightmare stay away read more

I had come in to have my cavities checked and receive fillings for them. The office staff and doctor was nice BUT! the fillings the dentist had done, it was poorly filled with gaps and incomplete. She left the areas will hole so that food would still stick into them causing future cavities... BUT ALL THAT ASIDE! After the fillings, I came home and saw that there were cavities remaining besides the fillings, BASICALLY FILLED THE FILLINGS WITH THE CAVITIES STILL REMAINING VISABLE!!! I came with pain and toothaches... needing to go back to a different dentist to have it repaired. Not to mention that she had missed other cavity areas that were visible in the mirror. Definitely will not return. Wondering if was her old age or whether she was just careless of her patients. Very dissapointing. read more

I went to Dr Ajmera for a filling on my cavities and she gave me too much anesthesia that I couldn't breathe because the side of my teeth were swollen. I had to call 911 and go to the ER in the hospital. We called her about the swollen mouth and the reception said that Dr. Ajmera would call us back and we never got a call back. Very unsatisfied with their services. read more

I have been going to the Ajmera Dental Center for a few years now and have seen both Dr. Dina and Dr. Hemali. The offices are clean, easy to get to, and their work is impeccable. I'm usually treated by Hemali, who is always attentive, thorough, and very gentle. She checks up on how I'm doing as she works and makes sure I'm comfortable. The entire staff has always been friendly and accommodating, and the weekend office hours are a huge plus. Highly recommended. read more

My family and I have been patients of Dr. Dina for as long as I can remember. She is honest, conservative and very gentle. The office is renovated and up-to-date, the staff is friendly and service is great. If you're in the NY metro area the office is easy to access, steps away from the subway and LIRR. It's also just a 20 minute cab ride from the city. As a dentist, Dr. Dina is very thorough, will explain things in great detail and will take her time in the treatment room. The fact that she has evening and weekend hours is great for me as being a young professional in the city leaves me with a very hectic schedule. All in all, me and my family look forward to our routine checkup visits and if there is ever a dental problem I know Dr. Dina is only a phone call away! Recently her daughter Dr. Hemali joined the practice and she is also extremely friendly and great at her trade. read more
