She was different: she spent time going over all details of my treatment. Patiently explained all options and alternatives and the treatment cost. I felt comfortable following her advice.

I made an appointment here for my daughter because she had a cavity. I told them the parents…read morecouldn't go because we had work when I made the appointment. They said ok and then kept calling me saying a parent had to go and they didn't want to treat my daughter without a parent. I said please ask a manager and then she said ok a grandparent can take her. When her grandparents got there with her they constant calls kept happening. They asked me a million questions like a stranger off the street took my daughter to the office. Also, my dad said they had an attitude like they didn't like grandparents taking her to the appointment. People have to understand that many families have two parents that work so they should accommodate grandparents taking kids to an appointment. My poor husband had to run over there to go to the appointment because they were giving the grandparents a hard time. They legit called me to make another appointment with a parent present. Once he got there it was an easier experience and they were willing to treat my daughter. However, people shouldn't have to leave work or be harassed at work while their child is being treated for a simple cavity.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed with kids in mind. The waiting area was filled with fun games and activities that immediately put my daughter at ease. The staff's bedside manner was top-notch--gentle, patient, and incredibly reassuring. They explained everything in a way that was comforting to both of us and made the entire experience feel like a fun adventure instead of something to be nervous about. The exam rooms had TVs playing kid-friendly entertainment, which helped keep her distracted and happy during the visit. I honestly wouldn't trust any other dentist in Rego Park or Forest Hills with my daughter's care. Lil Pearls has set the bar high for pediatric dentistry, and we're grateful to have found them!

I am sharing this to provide a factual account of our experience to help other families make…read moreinformed decisions. I have documented this timeline and filed a formal complaint with the New York State Education Department Office of Professional Discipline (OPD). 1. Last-Minute Cancellation after 4-Month Wait We began this process in January. After waiting four months for our scheduled appointment, the office called less than 17 hours before my daughter's braces were to be placed to cancel her treatment entirely. They claimed the case was "too complicated," despite having performed the initial consultation and impressions months prior. 2. Clinical Concerns After this office declined treatment, we sought a second opinion from a board-certified specialist. That specialist identified a 1mm midline deviation and Category II bite that this office failed to address in their initial plan. It appears the office was ill-equipped to handle my child's needs but waited until the day of treatment to disclose this. 3. Billing & Insurance Discrepancies The office charged my FSA $1,425 upfront. Furthermore, they billed my insurance company the full amount for a multi-year treatment ($5,700) before a single bracket was ever placed. I am currently working to rectify these charges for services never rendered. 4. Lack of Professionalism When I addressed these delays, the office suggested they were doing us a "favor" by not charging for the initial impressions. Wasting four months of a child's dental development is not a favor. My child's health is a priority, and being discarded as a patient at the last minute was deeply unprofessional. Note to Readers: I have retained all emails, dates, and documentation regarding this matter. I strongly recommend seeking a specialist who is transparent about their capabilities from the start.

I immediately started to make phone calls. I tried our in-network pediatric dental provider but it was after hours and I got the answering machine so I left my number. {Our in-network dentist still has not returned my call to even ask how he's doing! That's a whole other story and Yelp review!} Next, I remembered that Kids Only Dental visited my daughter's preschool to give a presentation on dental hygiene. Thank goodness I bookmarked their info on Yelp! I called the main number and got the emergency line. Called the emergency line and Dr. Angie Chin promptly answered. Dr. Chin, reviewed our incident over the phone and helped to ease my nerves! She answered all my questions and I never felt rushed. She told me to come in first thing the next morning. I wasn't sure if they were in our insurance network so Dr. Chin said she'd have somebody from the office contact me. Talk about quick! Only about 5-10 minutes later Joann called me back to answer my insurance questions. Unfortunately, they are not in-network but Joann reviewed the price breakdown and it was reasonable so I opted to self-pay. Fast forward through my sleepless night. My husband dropped me off at the intersection so he could find parking. I had difficulty locating their office. When I called, Patty, the office manager was super sweet and stayed on the phone and gave me step by step walking directions!!! The waiting area and exam rooms are clean and bright. Dr. Chin did an exam and reviewed the X-rays and it seems there is a small chip on his tooth. Dr. Chin was awesome with my fussy toddler. She was patient, kind, and playful with him. Terrific bedside manner. We go back in one month for a follow up. I highly recommend Kids Only Dental! Now I just need to switch to insurance they accept!!!

The only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 is because they do not have emergency office hours or emergency on call.

And we ended up going to pediatric LIJ which did a so so job. And didn't have any of our kids dental history. Would love it if this practice began an on call/emergency number and hours.

I had originally taken down this review because I did not want any association with my name and Dr…read more Shuinov's office, but I told a neighbor about this incident and she asked me to put it back up because she almost scheduled an appointment here. I was physically attacked by Dr Radmila Shuminov, in the middle of an appointment at Bright White Dental in Fresh Meadows. I had an appointment to have a crown put in, scheduled for 10am on 2/1 with Dr. Shuminov and I waited for over an hour. Apparently, the office did not know I had an appointment even though they sent me a confirmation text the day before. In the waiting room, I wrote a review that said "the dentists are fine but wait time is abysmal, this place doesn't use a calendar.". I was seen by a different dentist than the one who did the first part of the procedure. I was sitting alone in the middle of my appointment, waiting for the crown to set. I hear a lot of racket and Dr. Radmila Shuminov runs in yelling about this review. She was followed by the office manager who kept insisting Dr Shuminov should stop and calm down. Dr Shuminov was shouting and motioning like she was ready to fight me in a schoolyard, and then she grabbed the dental drill in one hand and thrust her other hand at my face several times, shouting "lean back!" and insisted that she would take over for the other dentist, so that I could "get out and good riddance". It was my belief that she was trying to use her position as a dentist to inflict physical harm on me because she was in an extremely agitated state. It took a lot of effort to maintain my composure but I kept repeating that I felt unsafe allowing her to work on me and after repeating myself 3 times, Dr. Shuminov relented. At one point I pulled my phone out of my pocket and wanted to call the cops but I thought Dr. Shuminov would attack me with the drill if I did. She said that this was my fault because I left a review about her and she couldn't leave a review about me. She also screamed at me about my wife's medical and appointment history even though my wife was not present. Dr. Shuminov said my wife could find a different dentist to do the work she required as well, and stormed out. Dr. Shuminov rushed out of the office immediately after this incident and shouted "sorry I freaked out but it is what it is" on her way out the door. Dr. Singh came in immediately and tried to be apologetic, kind, and understanding on behalf of the practice. He finished installing the crown. He asked me if there was anything he could do to make up for the incident and make it right and I told him that if he's ever asked about what happened, he could answer truthfully, and it would be enough. I filed a police report and written complaints with 2 relevant state agencies. It is my belief that Dr. Shuminov should lose her license to practice dentistry.
