    Uh-oh!
    J. Lawrence N.

    Let's face it, many of us get all worried when we need to find a dentist, especially if it's for something more than just a regular teeth cleaning. We hear the horror stories, and there are a lot of bad ones out there. I was one of those people until I found Dr. Artin Sakhaee and Metropolitan Smiles. My husband and I have been going to Dr. Sakhaee for more than three years, and in that time (between the two of us) we have had a few major crisises including needing implants, an impacted tooth, crowns and a cavity or two. I can honestly say I wouldn't trust any other dentist to do any of that. Sakhee and his team are the best of the best. He takes the time to discuss everything with you, explain it in a calm and disarming way, and does it with perfection. The entire team is excellent from the front desk to the technician to the dental hygienists to Sakhee and the other dentists who are there. They are welcoming, engaging, compassionate and make you feel at ease from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. But it's even more than that. Sakhee is extremely accessible, which is a huge difference with most others. If you have a concern or if there's a problem, you can reach out and he's fast to respond. They also follow up after any procedure and check in with their patients. That kind of care is rare these days; yet, it's just a simple thing to do that goes a long way in making a patient feel they are in good hands. There was a moment many, many months ago when I was very concerned about something and got upset. Instantly, Dr. Sakhee responded, called me and put me at ease. Moreover, he went over and above what most dentists would do to fix the problem. Price wise, Metropolitan Smiles is affordable, reasonable and they often will work with their patients. Three months ago we moved out of the 'hood to Manhattan which is about 30-45 minutes from Sakhee's office. And, there are a thousand dentists in the city, probably some within walking distance. But, we both still make the trek out to Forest Hills for our dental needs because as I stated at the start, I wouldn't trust anyone else, he's that good. I've lived in NYC for 24 years. I've been to many dentists during that time. So I don't say this lightly, or having had only one or two visits or teeth cleanings here. I say this having needed several dental issues and procedures. (Even teeth whitening.) You can not go wrong with the team here. And you shouldn't go anywhere else.

    Dr. Artin Sakhaee hands down is the WORST dentist I have ever had the misfortune to visit. I have a 1" cut in my upper lip and a 1/2' cut on my bottom lip. He cut it with the drill. I didn't feel it because my mouth was numb. When I went to the bathroom I saw it. I went immediately up to the receptionist and showed her my lip and she just looked at me as if I was bothering her and proceeded to take a call. When she was done she asked me if I wanted to speak to the manager. I showed my lip to her and she stood there like she was not sure what to do then when went to speak with the dentist. I waited for him to finish with the patient. He apologized and then tried to blame me saying "I moved." I strongly disputes his assertion. I stated, "I didn't move you were rushing because the receptionist kept coming in and telling you that patients were complaining that they were going to leave." He was in the middle of filling my teeth and he left me there to go take care of another patient. I had an 11am appointment I didn't leave there until 2:30 pm. I will be filing a complaint with the New York State Office of Professional Discipline (OPD). This conducted is not acceptable. The three filling he did are poorly done, it's rough and the edges are sharp and I'm quite certain that he didn't properly fill one of the tooth because it fell very sensitive. I had no sensitivity in any of my teeth when I went there. DO NOT GO TO METROPOLITAN SMILES. THIS DENTIST SHOULD NOT BE PRACTICING.

    This was my smile before gum contouring in pictures.

    Went in for a cleaning and because I saw a hole in one of my fillings. I saw Dr. Shalomov and…read moreexplained that I saw a hole (it was a cavity) and that I also had sensitivity in another tooth that also had a filling. He explained that he would have to remove the filling in order to investigate the issue and when I said I didn't want to, he backed off. I scheduled another appointment to get a new filling on the cavity and decided that I also wanted him to check out the sensitivity we had spoken about in the first visit. He told me he would conduct a procedure that would not be too costly as he was not sure exactly what the problem was and he did not want it to become to expensive for me (my insurance does not cover a lot of procedures). I am glad I asked him to check the sensitivity because it turned out to be a cavity under my filling so that day I received two fillings. The procedure was fast and he was very understanding and helpful. He was also very good at his job. He made me feel comfortable about getting the local anesthesia shot and asked me if i was ok when he saw I was uncomfortable during the procedure. I never once felt like he was trying to get more money out of me. I was not sold on some other procedures as I have been at other dentist office. The staff are all very nice and welcoming. I would totally refer this office and will definitely keep coming back. The only downside is that yes, there is a wait to see the dentist. They only have one doctor and one dental assistant. Dr. Shalomov is very busy and is going from one room to the next so be prepared to wait. However, once he is with you it all goes pretty fast and he does good work.

    I have been a patient of this dental office since after the pandemic and have trusted them for…read moreyears with my routine care. I have always kept up with my dental cleanings, and when I returned after about a year without a cleaning, I was expecting the same level of care I had received in the past. I specifically scheduled this appointment because I noticed a small area of buildup and wanted it properly removed. After my visit with the new dentist, I went home and found that the buildup was still there -- meaning the exact reason I came in was not addressed. What is most upsetting is that I was told my teeth looked nice, yet the dentist failed to fully address the concern I brought up. Now I am being told I need a deep cleaning, just as they have claimed in the past, while my insurance has questioned and denied it because the documentation does not support that need. I know my dental history, and I know the difference between needing routine care and being pushed toward treatment that does not match my actual condition. I even referred my coworkers to this office because I believed in the care I had received in the past. When one coworker mentioned that she also did not feel she received a proper cleaning, I chose to give this office the benefit of the doubt because I had never personally experienced an issue before. Unfortunately, after today's appointment, I can no longer say the same. I contacted the office immediately to explain my concerns. Not only was my issue not resolved, but I did not receive a call back, an apology, or even an offer to bring me back in and correct the problem. That is unacceptable and not the level of service expected from a professional healthcare office. I am requesting that this matter be properly addressed and that I receive the service I paid for. I will be contacting my insurance company to dispute this charge and report my concerns regarding the care provided. After years of loyalty and trust, this experience has completely changed my opinion of this office.

I will never visit this locaction again, shoutout to that one lady in the head wrap that has always done her best to make me feel discriminated, I hope this review gets back to yall because....I'M SUING!

    This was my first visit to Dynamic Dental. I Didn't receive medical treatment, only xrays, so my…read morereview is based on first impressions. I'll start with the facility. The waiting area and exam room appear very clean and organized. There was ample seating. Though the office was busy (9:30 a.m.) average wait times seem minimal 5 to 10 mins. My wait was longer since the office was busy, and they were creating my file. A tip: Complete your paperwork online and scrutinize it for completion. Both dentists I saw were really nice. Great bedside manner, very professional, and put me at ease. The PAs were equally sweet, charming, efficient, and professional. The front desk staff were welcoming. I didn't catch her name, but she gave me a "Welcome to Dynamic Dental" greeting so full of gusto that it made me smile. I tried to get appointments for my family members, but they don't accept their insurance. Obviously, I highly recommend this office.
