Out all of these years that I have been using yelp, I have never left a review. Yelp was just simply a place for me to seek and eat. However today's experience cannot be left untold. 1) Making an appointment was pleasant not rushed, and worked around my schedule. 2) Parking very easy, keep in mind we did go in the morning, however street parking was very accessible. 3) The office extremely clean, bright, modern and kid friendly. Not intimidating at all, when we walked in my two year olds sons began playing with the toys, and the slide was a major hit,. 4) The doctor herself was a delight. She introduced the kids to the instruments, explained to them what she was about to, including having them touch and smell each product and instrument she would use. Professionalism with sprinkles of smiles and care, describes her perfectly. All week I was extremely nervous about the upcoming appointment, because having twin 2 years olds you never know what you'll get. And having our past doctors appointment be a battel field of tears and screams, I must say boy was I surprised and so impressed about our entire experience. At the end we walked out with smiles, balloons, and most importantly information on how to take care of their teeth. read more

Excellent dentist (Dr Buchanan) who is super careful and competent. I highly recommend this dentist . I'll be back again read more

This is a wonderful pediatric dental practice. I knew to expect a fabulous waiting room, since my daughter-in-law had sent pictures on a previous visit. But actually experiencing a preschooler's delight was really special. The waiting room is a small playground. One side contains a wall enclosed play area with a short slide. My Grandson immediately headed to this spot and in minutes was happily coming down the slide. In lieu of kiddie sized chairs, one wall was colorful 3 level bleacher style seating which could also be used for safe climbing. Children's books are strategically placed. Oh, and there's also an area for grown ups to sit. Much smaller than the play area, of course..... But the highlight was the examination. Can you believe I'm actually saying this about a dental visit? The child & his grown-up is led to an open floor plan exam area. There are no little cubicles to make one feel isolated and claustrophobic. Each station features a brightly colored dental chair, all in different hues. The child gets to choose their favorite color. My Grandson immediately ran happily to the bright blue chair and eagerly climbed into it. Wow, could this actually be a dentist appointment? Or might it be a play date with the amazing doctor? Never have I seen a Pediatric Dentist who was so good with children. She explained what she was doing to the child, not the grownup. And her demeanor was such that you could tell she loved children. That feeling was conveyed to the child, who happily cooperated with everything she wanted to do. And oh, the dental tools & utensils.... They were all child themed. What an amazing experience!! What a wonderful dental practice!! read more

I've been looking for a pediatric dentist for my 2 1/2 year old and 4 year old for a while since I've been taking them to a regular dentist since they were 1, but I was not happy with a regular dentist since they did not seem to be able to do much with my kids, who refused to open their mouths most of the time. Now I understand why a pediatric dentist is totally necessary for kids - not only was Dr. Minoo able to do a full cleaning and exam, but my kids loved the whole visit! The waiting room has a better play area than some of the indoor play areas that we pay to get into... I am so happy to be part of the North Brooklyn Pediatric family - and highly recommend anyone with kids to go to Dr. Minoo rather than a regular dentist. We look forward to our next visit! read more

I can't recommend North Brooklyn Pediatric Dentistry enough. I came here running away from bad experiences in another place and was relieved to find that Dr. Buchanan truly cares and really loves to work with children. Always takes time to explain to you what's going on and what your options are. Never rushed. She even repaired a couple of my daughter's chipped teeth due to a poorly done filling in another place. Thank goodness we found this place! Their staff is nice the play area is the best, children don't want to come home after being there. I highly recommend this place for anyone with small children or children in general. read more

Dr Buchanan is such a gentle and kind doctor my son he loves coming here. Her office and clean and has plenty of colorful chairs sunglasses and toys! When she cleans his teeth she is so gentle and he is cooperative and willing to listen to her. She keeps the parents informed as well. This is our second visits and he now understands that he has to floss and brush his teeth at night. I highly recommend you bring your Little ones here! They even get balloons and presents at the end! read more

What can we say we LOVE Dr.Minoo. Our kids talk about visiting her office non stop. She's so patient and is just a wonderful Soul ! read more

Took my 4 yr old daughter in for a routine cleaning. It was our second time here (my daughters one & only dentist experience). The service & care always exceeds our expectations. I was very pleased with the precautions taken considering the pandemic. My daughter needed to get an X-ray (it was her first xray) & she was very excited. I love how the process was explained to her, made it sound very simple & not intimidating at all. I wish my dentist visits were as exciting as my daughters! Very welcoming staff, the slide in the waiting area is a plus. Bright colored chairs, cool goodies & the best tooth brushes! Would totally recommend! read more

Dr. Buchanan is so great. She takes such great care of my daughters teeth and now my son comes too and he's only 19 months old. My daughter is nearly 6 years old and has never had a cavity and I think it's largely do to her. She is a great dentist and always asks the kids which chair they want to sit in, let's them pick out there own tooth paste and after the check up they get to pick out 2 toys and a balloon. It's a great routine that allows thE kids to have ownership over there dental health. We always leave happy. Thanks so much Dr Buchanan. Nyla and Adrian love you. read more

Took my four-year-old son for his first dentist visit yesterday. The staff was friendly, the office was fun and immaculate with a great play area, and Dr. Minoo Buchanan was fantastic. She effortlessly made my boy feel comfortable and respected. She inquired about dental hygiene, eating habits, and even a small scar on the side of his mouth. Examination and cleaning seemed thorough and without discomfort. Couldn't have hoped for a better experience. read more

If I could give more stars I would, This place is brand new, clean, spotless, bright, colorful and has the best play / waiting room ever. A first dentist appointment for a child can be uncertain, but North Brooklyn Pediatric Dentistry made my 2 year old feel so comfortable, he didn't want to leave! The dentist was patient, kind and explained everything to my son and me. It was just a routine check up but I was expecting him to be fussy-and he absolutely loved it! I can't believe how fun and smooth it went. They are obviously professionals at what they do and really know how to interact with children and get them to corporate each step of the way. The assistant was cheerful and very fast at processing our insurance and information, it was such a breeze. I recommend this place to every Brooklyn mom! read more

Wow. I think we've found our pediatric dentist for a long long time. I want Dr. Buchanan as my dentist! She was amazingly patient and *instructive* with my 2.5 year old daughter. She explains what she's going to do next, about the tools she's using, and to me about my daughter's dental health and future! The dentist also let my child hold the tools... and use them! (The one that sucks out saliva anyway.) My kid loves playing doctor, and now she was given the tools to play dentist :) and rad sunglasses. Result -- No cavities, good teeth, but they're too close together (like mine) so they will probably need braces. Then my kid picked out a cool toothbrush and toy (which I still have in my purse -- ack!). The environment was warm and welcoming. The waiting room had a fun little wooden house with a slide that my daughter enjoyed -- but there was no wait, so she played there after the visit. Please go. I've been to a few pediatric dentists and this is the best so far! Didn't feel rushed, ample time with the dentist, friendly demeanors from her and her assistant, and overall very calming. read more

Here we are 3 years later and I can confidently state that my son is completely over his dentist phobia. I on the other hand am another basket case, like please literally put me out to do any type of drilling. Last week he had a tooth removed and he didn't scream or cry. It was done within a matter of minutes and the tooth was huge. Dr. Buchanan is by far the most exemplary pediatric dentist. She makes sure the parent is well versed on all that is required to ensure healthy teeth as well as provides the compassion a scared child needs while sitting in her seat. read more

i am very displeased with my experience of my appointment for my daughter @ 11/11 for 1:30 pm ! & i am writing this review because i found this facility from research by a review i found online! im bringing awareness this can happen to u ! the customer service i received caused me to react & i had no choice to speak my voice on what was wrong & right! i approached the receptionist with respect at 1st & asked her if my appointment was for 1:30 pm , how does a patient go b4 me if she just came ? she told me that the client had a earlier appointment /emergency **excuse **.the patient was inpatient & was expedited by choice not by the order of appointments ! in btwn the paient complained to the receptionist she's in hurry & wants to be seen! , while that conversation was being said i was listening & paying close attention to the receptionist response & she told the patient my daughter was next ! so how does someone go b4 my child ? because foul play was done & lack of paient care customer service was done i am never going back to this office ,because the receptionist was rude & mentioned to the dr. that i should not be scheduled early ever again! i have never had someone say something so foolish in front of me before at a appointment! tasteless & unprofessional that dr. sided with the receptionist that she was correct & then gave me a back **excuse** story that her employe did nothing wrong! if a client decides to come to a appointment earlier its their discretion unless told not to come early! how was i in the wrong ? i arrived 12:50 ish , 1pm & was going to be seen after 2pm because the patient that came in after me sneaked her way to the back with the dr. ! i was fine with waiting when i walked in because i came early that's what normal ppl do! i did not mind to wait! , but not expected someone to skip me because i was next in line based on checking in with the receptionist, when i walked in ! this issue could have been avoided by simple use of customer service skills of communication to future clients if someone needs to go in front of someone etc. moving forward! read more

Being a patient for almost for four years, it is safe to say we are here to stay! Dr. Buchanan and her staff are amazing!!! Scheduling is flexible, she is amazing with our three children. There is rarely any wait or any double booking! The ambience in the waiting room is amazing....the list can go on and on!!!! You will not be disappointed! I highly recommend! read more

Her ability to make kids feel comfortable at the dentist is amazing. We took our 18 month old for her first check-up and it was trauma/drama free. The waiting room is super fun too. An enjoyable experience all 'round! read more

I took my two year old son in for his first dental appointment today. He is not exactly easy about his teeth being brushed so I expected the worst. I was shocked at how well it went. The dentist and hygienist were pros. My son was perfectly behaved for them and I think he even enjoyed it. The office was big and very clean, I don't now much about dentistry, but the equipment looked state of the art. They had a big play area for him to climb and slide down in the lobby. I'm really happy to have found this place. The original reason we picked this place was that it was much more affordable than the other places in the neighborhood. We will be going back. read more

We had a slight dental emergency today, and Dr. Buchanan came in and opened the office just for us. Problem was solved, office was beautiful, and Dr. Buchanan was very gentle with my daughter. Despite a slightly traumatic experience for my daughter having a piece of metal removed that was embedded in the roof of her mouth, she left smiling with a baloon in hand, and minimal discomfort from the extraction. They just gained a new patient from us! Thank you Dr. Buchanan! read more

I can not recommend this place enough! I am a mother of three and have brought my kids to North Brooklyn Pediatric Dental over the past year. I was so impressed with their care that I asked if they would see me as well, and they graciously agreed! I am 37 years old, and have HATED my teeth my entire life. I've never shown my teeth in pictures. But after going to North Brooklyn Pediatric Dental for just a few months, I confidently show my smile! Their skillful and innovative techniques have completely improved the look and health of my teeth. You definitely need to check this place out! Best dental care in NYC! read more

Such a pleasant experience! We brought my 2 year old son for his first dental checkup and he didn't want to leave! The waiting play area is clean/bright/happy and check in was a breeze. My son got to pick his chair (blue) and happily crawled on. Dr. Minoo Buchanan was warm and great at getting my son to cooperate. She also spent a lot of time welcoming/answering a first time mom's many questions. Her advice seemed sound and thoughtful. Looking forward to our six month checkup read more

This was the first time we have been to this dental practice and me and my kids love it! The office is so clean and colorful, but what was more exceptional was Dr. Buchanan, she was so thorough with explaining the procedures every step of the way to me and my kids. She let my son know what was going to happen and feel through the process as well as how to maintain clean teeth at home. My 5 year old daughter who usually doesn't cooperate well, actually cooperated for the first time. Dr. Buchanan is a gentle and kind doctor as another reviewer said. She is not judgmental and allows for parents to go in with there kids. We have been too dental practices where they do not allow parents in the room, in order to prevent tantrums. We got uncomfortable with this practice and switched over to North Brooklyn Pediatric Dentistry and we are so glad we did. You won't regret seeing Dr. Buchanan! read more

Another five star review for Dr. Buchanan. Her office is basically an indoor play space, from the slide in the waiting area all the way to the exam area. Kids get to pick their favorite color chair, their sunglasses, their toothbrush animal, their toothpaste flavor, and a toy at the end. Our daughter ***loves*** going to the dentist. I love the fact that Dr. Buchanan has Saturday hours and does a thorough job cleaning her teeth and telling me what I need to know to take care of her. Pro tip: arrive 20 minutes before your appointment, or else your kid may insist on staying 20 minutes after to finish playing. read more

I had my first visit here with my 18 month old son this week and had a fantastic experience. They make sure you (and more importantly, your child) feels at home and free to explore. The little playhouse built in the waiting area is genius! Both the dentist and the front desk reception were lovely warm people and had us out of there quickly with little toys as a send off. As we were walking out, the next little patient was having her teeth cleaned and my son could see through the window how she wasn't flipping out like him and I think it helps to see other kids doing the same thing (she was older, so she had the "cool" factor). Thanks NBP!! read more

My daughter had a great experience at North Brooklyn Pediatric Dentistry that she's still talking about -- it's normal for your kid to ask to go back to the dentist, right? Dr. Buchanan's care and patience was top notch and she made my daughter very comfortable. Dr Buchanan took her time to explain what she was doing, what she was seeing, and answering my questions. We've already scheduled our next appointment! read more

Dr. Buchanan has been my dentist since I was a child. I'm not 35 (one of the only adults she still treats ;)). I can't say enough good things about her as a dentist and as a person. I have never had a cavity and I attribute that to her taking such good care of my teeth. She is very thorough and genuinely cares about her patients. Also, as a kid, I loved her waiting room and looked forward to going because it was such a fun and colorful place. read more

If you are looking for a pediatric dentist Dr. Buchanan is the one. My 9 year old son who has been to several different dentists in the area said "Dr. Buchanan is the best!" From start to finish, the experience was just terrific. Highly recommend NBPD! read more

We took our 17-month old daughter here last week for her first dentist visit. Can't agree more with all of the reviews. The facilities are new, clean and bright. The dentist and assistant were great, especially accommodating us on a snowy Saturday afternoon. The dentist gave us great advice and got us started with some good habits. They have now become part of our night time routine and our daughter is going with it! read more

Nice place, clean facilities, great DDS, and gifts for the kids! Great experience, highly recommended

I took my 22month old son for a check up and even though he was a little afraid, Dr. Buchanan was amazing! Im so happy I found a dentist for my kids . read more

Nice, new office with kid friendly decor and play area. Dr Minoo was good with our 3-year old. She was thorough.

The way dentistry should be practiced! The office is beautiful and Dr. Buchanan knows how to sooth and care for a fidgety 2 year old. Thank you for building such a nice practice for families in North Brooklyn. read more

First of all this is probably the nicest dentists office I've ever seen! It's all new and so clean and inviting. Dr. Buchanan and her staff made my fidgety 3 year old (and 13 year old lol) feel extremely comfortable. And I knew we were in very good hands. Aside from being really good with kids, the doctor was very thorough and really took the time to explain things--it is obvious she really cares. Her approach is conservative and preventative which we really appreciated since no one wants a ton of fillings! Highly recommend this practice... read more

I've finally found the greatest pediatric dentist. Dr. Buchanan is truly a lifesaver. My 5yr old daughter has had a fear of the dentist since her first visit two years ago. I could even get her to sit on the chair. Upon entering North Brooklyn Pediatric Dentistry she was more concerned with playing and it seemed that the anxiety of her check up went out the window. She loved picking out her chair (pink of course!) and willingly climbed up. Needless to say i was beside myself lol. I can't thank Dr. Buchanan and her assistant enough for the best care provided to my daughter, as well as for taking the fear out of the checkup. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND, you won't regret bringing your kids here! read more

This place is a revelation! The fun waiting room and relaxed and colorful examination space are terrific, but what I really loved was that the dentist checked in with my kid before every thing she did, making sure she was ok every step of the way. Where was this place when I was a kid??!! read more

I reached out to Dr. Buchanan for a second opinion on orthodontic care. She took the initiative to reach out to our dental insurer to determine exactly what would be covered, saving me time and worry. When my daughter couldn't make the original appointment due to an injury, Dr. Buchanan graciously rescheduled the appointment and adjusted her schedule to fit us in. The environment was bright and cheery, and the staff was helpful. Dr. Buchanan helped us understand our options for orthodontic care and the associated costs without pressuring us to proceed with care at her office. We had a very positive experience. read more

Wonderful and spacious office with a children's play area. But more importantly-very friendly staff and great dental care. Highly recommended! This will be our new go-to dental office for our kids read more

We had delayed taking my son to the dentist because he is so terrified of the doctor and I was worried that the dentist would be even worse. I'm so impressed with how well Dr. Buchanan and Bianca handled my son! They have an amazing play space in the waiting room to ease any initial anxiety, then they had him wear little sunglasses before turning on the exam light and they used a bunch of games to encourage him to open his mouth and tolerate the cleaning and exam. My son came home and ran to the mirror to admire his "shiny teeth". Extremely professional, great with kids, clean and bright space- highly recommended! read more

Took at almost 3 year old daughter to Dr. Minoo to get her first check up. Waiting room is very clean, and there are toys and a fun little house to play in. My daughter got to pick the color chair to sit in and Dr. Minoo made the visit very fun for her! She has a lot of techniques that make it less scary for kids. My daughter also got a lot of parting gifts, and loved them all! Would highly recommend. We live in long island city and it is a 5 minute drive with easy street parking! read more
