I hate the dentist. Well, not as much as when I was younger, but even still today after all these…read moreyears I'm not a fan of going. It's changed a bit as maybe dentists are friendlier than they used to be (or maybe I'm just doing a better job in brushing my teeth?) which is where Sachem Dental Group comes into play. This Lake Ronkonkoma location is my new dentist spot and it fills in all the holes (pun intended) for what I need. Well, first it fit the bill for my wife as she was having some mouth pain and we didn't want to go all the way to New Hyde Park (where I used to live and my old dental location) to figure things out when SDG was right up the road from where we now live. Her experience was pretty positive and so we migrated our biannual checkups to this Hawkins Ave building. My first personal experience came a few weeks back where I had a mid morning appointment which I got to ahead of when it was scheduled and they took me just a smidge past my appointment time. While waiting, I overheard the people working at the front desk and they seemed friendly to other patients. The waiting area was also cutely decorated from the Fall along with some funny dental jokes written out in a few spots. I can vibe with this. Once getting called, the hygienist was nice enough as she cleaned through my teeth and didn't reprimand me for my semi-delayed trip to the dentist (a bit over a year, sorry). We took some X-rays too which took a little time as she was having a little difficulty with the machine, but she was apologetic and helpful during this. Back in the room, the dentist came in and looked through my X-rays and mouth to see that there weren't many issues to be seen. He was in and out pretty quickly which felt kind of fast, but he still seemed nice in that short interaction and honestly it's probably better that he wasn't in there for very long! I set up my next appointment for six months from now (the hours that SDG are open are pretty good) and I was on my way. Overall, Sachem Dental Group of Lake Ronkonkoma is a formidable spot for your dentist needs. It has a clean interior, nice enough staff, and generally smooth interactions during dental visits (my wife went the same day and her experience was positive too) to definitely keep this place as my dentist going forward. I'm glad everything went well, but that still doesn't change my deeper feelings about dentists in general. #sorrynotsorry

When calling Dr Romeo's office for a F/u appt recently I was informed Dr Grassa had moved to Sayville so I called and made an appt. I saw him recently at Sayville Family Dentistry. My initial interaction with the friendly receptionist was positive. I then saw the hygienist who informed me I may need to return for two deep cleanings, although she had not taken X-rays yet nor had she done my cleaning yet. I was then seen by Dr Grassa who briefly examined me then told me I had a cavity in my wisdom tooth and the tooth required removal. Never showed me the tooth in question by using a mirror, never showed me anything on X-rays and never explained why he came to his conclusion. (I had X-rays done 8 months ago and have never had tooth discomfort). He told to see a dental surgeon. No referrals given for a dental surgeon, no documentation given as to why he reached his conclusion but just a very dismissive /disinterested attitude about my dental care as he just walked out of the room. I do not recommend this dentist and I already have an appt. with a new dentist. I should have seen Dr Romeo instead of wasting my time.

He is very Experienced (23 years in practice), Professional and personable. After repeating X-rays and examining my teeth, he determined that there was no need for "a cap" as suggested by Dr Grassa and no need for 2 deep cleanings as suggested by Arkna his hygienist. He did however have to reclean my teeth despite my having done a cleaning a week ago at Dr Grassa. When something doesn't seem right ALWAYS go for a second opinion!!

I've been going to the Donahues since I was a kidlet and his pops was the main man. And my mom's been going here since SHE was a kidlet to Senior. there's a reason why more than one generation sticks with a dentist. My grandpops - he comes here. My uncles? Yep. Their kids? No doubt. I drive an hour and 15 minutes to come here. Why? well, we can push aside the fact that I've known these people, literally, my entire life. Dr. Donahue and Segnini are amazing. They always have the most up to date technology, they have been on the cutting edge for years. They're both brilliant and personable. Let me tell you a little story - a few years ago, I cracked my jaw and fractured it in three places, having it wired shut for 6 weeks with several broken teeth. Dr Donahue fixed all my teeth, saved my smile and even helped me with the rehab when my wires came off. He KNOWS its hard for me to keep my mouth open for long periods of time and does what he can to make sure I'm comfortable. No one can tell I've had any work done. If I ever have a weird pain or strange feeling, he will see me on his lunch break if necessary. Sure, sometimes there's a wait...but if you're getting top notch service, you can sit in the waiting room for five minutes and watch tv. Plus, he gave me an air conditioner. There aren't enough nice things I can say about this man.

Is that fresh baked cookies I smell? The office manager is looking at my insurance and explains that the Koeppel Dental Group is a private dentist practice. If you need oral surgery or a crown replaced, the Koeppel Dental Group is ready to assist. But, I can make sure that we will clean your teeth and use my insurance. How awesome is that? Here's the dad review. Just say you live 100+ miles away from Stony Brook and your child is going to the college. If they need any type of dental work, I highly recommend the Koeppel Dental Group. This is a dedicated group of professionals that will take the highest care of your child's dental needs.
