    WARNING: Deceptive Billing and Medical Misrepresentation…read more Warning to the Queens community regarding the predatory business practices at Dental Specialties of NY on Hillside Ave. My family was subjected to a blatant "bait-and-switch" scheme regarding a tooth extraction on January 6, 2026. During the consultation, Dr. Kambiz Vatandoost and his assistant "Charlie" insisted a bone graft was necessary and quoted $1,600, while falsely claiming it was not covered by insurance. We paid that amount specifically for the graft and explicitly declined a separate $950 Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) treatment. Despite our refusal, they drew blood anyway and claimed the PRF was "free." When we followed up with our insurance provider, we discovered that bone grafts are actually a covered benefit under our plan. More shockingly, when insurance contacted the office directly, the staff denied ever performing a bone graft, claiming they only did a Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) procedure. This means they charged us $1,600 out-of-pocket for a service they told the insurance company never happened, while trying to pass off a treatment we specifically rejected as the primary service. When confronted, the office repeatedly told multiple members of our family--including a Registered Nurse--that we simply "misunderstood" the plan. They denied any wrongdoing despite verbal agreements. It took days of us physically going to the office and causing disruption loudly, as to alert other patients of their conduct, before they finally agreed to a refund. Even then, the resolution was handled with zero integrity. They withheld 5% of our money as a "transaction fee" and forced my relative to sign a liability waiver as a condition for returning our funds. Any "resolution" this office claims to have is likely coerced through these predatory tactics. If you are able to, avoid this place entirely. In my opinion, they should be shut down for what I consider medical malpractice and fraudulent conduct, especially based on the many reviews that detail common experiences. If you absolutely must go there, ensure you read every single piece of paperwork they make you sign. They made my relative sign a document that was not the agreed-upon procedure on purpose so they could charge us for it later and deny what was decided on the day of the visit. Always request a document with a full itemized cost of all procedures before anything is done. Do not trust their verbal quotes, and do not let them gaslight you. We are moving forward with a formal complaint to the NYS Office of Professional Discipline (OPD).

    HORRENDOUS!!!!!!! The man named Dr. D who works alongside Seema and is responsible for my temporary…read more(and presumably permanent) crowns is nothing short of DEMONIC. This DEMON is shockingly unprofessional, brash, and outright aggressive. The temporary crowns he installed are not only excruciatingly painful but are also an eyesore--several shades darker and yellower than the rest of my teeth. To make matters worse, the work is a complete disaster: glue and cement were sloppily smeared across surrounding teeth, left to fester in the crevices like a botched art project by someone who clearly has no business in dentistry. The temporary crowns did not even last an entire week before falling off! Even worse, I was NEVER informed what this procedure Seema demanded I undergo for a tiny hairline crack on one tooth entailed. This butcher SHAVED DOWN both of my front teeth into miniature stubs without informing me this is what she planned to do. I NEVER agreed or would have agreed to this procedure had I been informed what it entailed or was. The man she had do it, DR. D, was extremely rough and violent with me thrashing my head and neck around to the point I am in severe pain and deeply emotionally traumatized a week later. I will be reporting both of them and this practice to the New York State Office of Professional Discipline if I am not refunded the $600 I was charged as a down payment. I do not trust this woman or her co-dentist anywhere near my mouth. I regret letting her destroy my teeth, my health, and my sanity. Not to mention, when I informed her that her poorly made and applied temporary crowns fell off, she made no effort to put them back in despite it being a dental emergency. My gums? Still bleeding, still throbbing in pain, thanks to his gross incompetence. I can't fathom how Seema and this clown of a technician "Dr. D" are not drowning in shame, attaching their names to work so shockingly substandard it borders on malpractice. The fact that anyone could walk away from this level of botched work without feeling mortified is beyond comprehension. I will never allow these crooks near my mouth again, and I urge anyone who values their health and sanity to steer far, far away from this dental circus. If this is the kind of "care" you can expect, it's no wonder they've mastered the art of driving patients away.

    I was referred to Queensboro Oral Surgery & Associates by my dentist for a consultation about…read morereplacing a tooth I had extracted. I've been putting off getting an implant for a while because I wanted to carefully weigh my options, especially since implants can be expensive. I finally decided to schedule a consultation, and the process was very easy. The receptionist took my insurance information over the phone and scheduled me for the next available appointment. On the day of my visit, I was in and out in less than 30 minutes. They took a panoramic X-ray and thoroughly explained the implant procedure, what to expect during surgery, the healing process, and the long-term benefits of replacing the missing tooth. Since I already know that missing a tooth can cause surrounding teeth to shift, I appreciated how informative they were about preventing future dental issues. I was also very upfront about being nervous. I've had root canals, wisdom teeth extractions, fillings, and other dental procedures over the years, and dental work has always made me anxious. The staff was kind, patient, and reassuring, even though this visit was only a consultation. They explained that local anesthesia would be included with the procedure, while IV sedation would be an additional out-of-pocket expense since insurance doesn't cover it. Before I left, the secretary came over to my chair to discuss my insurance benefits. She explained that my primary insurance would cover 50% and my secondary insurance would cover the remaining 50%, which led me to believe the procedure would essentially be covered in full, aside from any non-covered expenses like sedation. Because of that, I felt comfortable waiting for the prior authorizations before making my final decision. A short time later, I received an email from my primary insurance showing what they approved, and it listed that I would still be responsible for $1,117.50. I wasn't overly concerned at first because I assumed my secondary insurance authorization was still being processed and would cover the remaining balance, just as I had been told during my consultation. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is because of what happened afterward. When I called the office to ask about the secondary insurance authorization, I was surprised to learn it had never been submitted. Instead of acknowledging the oversight or apologizing for the delay, I was simply told they would process it and that it would take about two more weeks. That was disappointing because I had specifically explained that I wasn't comfortable scheduling surgery until I knew exactly what my financial responsibility would be. I don't think patients should have to call back to make sure paperwork that was promised is actually being completed. At this point, I still won't schedule the implant until I know exactly what my out-of-pocket costs will be. Overall, my consultation experience was excellent. The oral surgeon and staff I interacted with during my visit were professional, informative, compassionate, and made me feel at ease. My only complaint is the lack of follow-through with my insurance paperwork, which unfortunately delayed my treatment. I hope this was simply an isolated oversight because my experience in the office itself was otherwise very positive.

I told her about my nerves and she was very kind and patient in explaining my situation, treatment options, and the potential side effects. Stephanie at the front desk was also very helpful, as were the two women who performed my X-rays and scheduled my follow-up appointment (I unfortunately didn't get their names!) I left with a great impression of the office. Even though surgery was ruled out for the time being, I'd feel fully comfortable and confident in moving forward with Dr. Dourmas and her excellent staff if that becomes necessary in the future.
