So, I just moved to Yonkers from Upstate. Being busy with two babies under two and a full time job,…read moreI haven't been able to find a dental "home" yet. So when my tooth starting really bothering me on a Sunday I was nervous. It was swelling up and was abscessed. I took some left over antibiotics out of desperation hoping it would help. It didn't. The next day, I called a dentist that told me to come in and "wait" and that I would be "waiting a long time" but to "just come in and wait". Well that sort of uncertainty when you're in pain from an abscessed tooth sounds like eternity. So let me get to Dr. Cohen at Sprain Brook Dental... He was great. I found them online. I called at 11:30am and by 12:15p I was sitting in his dental chair get x-rays done. He said the tooth had to come out and I agreed. He's a straight shooter, upfront kind of guy from what I could tell. He gave me the "gas" (nitrous oxide)at no additional cost to help calm my nerves, and then he started numbing me up. Which that barely hurt at all. After that, I literally felt nothing. Actually, I felt good. Ha, go figure, I felt good while at the dentist getting a big molar pulled. He made sure to stitch me up. He gave me a better antibiotic to clear the infection and strict instructions on how to take them. I was a little sore after the Novocain wore off. Popped 3 Advil and pain was literally gone. I went back to work and went about my day like nothing happened. I'm going back next week to get the stitches taken out and do xrays of my mouth to see what he can do for me to make my smile nicer. I hope his cosmetic dentistry is as good. He said he does everything. And just a side note. The atmosphere is very laid back, A very old school dentist office with no bs or upselling from what I could tell from my one emergency appointment with him. I'm cancelling the appointment I had with a different dentist (the one I originally called but couldn't get a firm answer as to how long I would have to wait) on Thursday and will go to Dr. Cohen instead now. Everything happens for a reason. Thank you Dr. Cohen!

I want to thank Dr. Siciliano, Sha, Jennifer and the entire team of this dental practice. I went in…read morewith a very old problem and left after a few visits all fixed up and with a beautiful smile. Dr. Siciliano was patient, kind and exhibited a level of expertise and care I thought was long gone in our country. I am so glad I was wrong. For those who are asking, yes there are a few extra steps (masks, distancing- while waiting to be seen) but this is to be expected. Do not hesitate if you are on the fence. The office and dental "work" areas are clean, they have air filtration devices and everyone around is protectively dressed (for everyone's safety). So....if you are looking for a dentist where people not only know what they are doing, but they enjoy what they are doing- pay a visit here and ask for Dr. Siciliano and her associates. You will not be disappointed. THANK YOU AGAIN DR. SICILIANO. See you guys in 6 months for my teeth cleaning!! Lol. Niecee

The dental staff was very nice and seemed knowledgeable. When I asked for a copy of X-rays for a second opinion, I couldn't get anyone on the phone.

When I threatened to report them to better business bureau, they said go ahead and said they are allowed 30 days. It's been over 2 weeks now. Previous dentists helped with the same request same day.

If done correctly I would have had an out of pocket charge of less than $25. Since they are in the plan the insurance company sends them the reimbursement check.

Dr. Castanaro's office was a complete-180 compared to my old dentist. He is very attentive every time I come for a cleaning and I am always seen as soon as I arrive. He uses the best and latest dental technology and a perk is that he is also a cool guy! His dental assistants also help him and are very nice and do the work right. Maureen & Stephanie at the front desk are gems and will always work with you to schedule an appointment at a time that works best for you and help in understanding insurance billing.

When scheduling, I made it very clear that I would need nitrous due to dental anxiety. After arriving, I waited over an hour past my appointment time, only to finally be told by the receptionist--without any empathy--that I couldn't have nitrous because they had "used the last of the oxygen." This is not a small oversight. For patients with anxiety, this kind of preparation and communication is essential. To wait that long, after traveling and arranging childcare for a newborn, only to be dismissed so casually is incredibly frustrating and unprofessional. If you experience dental anxiety and rely on accommodations like nitrous, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. This office does not seem equipped to handle those needs with the care or consideration they require.
