There was no clutter and they made the parents that come in to wash their hands in the bathroom due to covid which is great. The exam rooms have wall mounted tv's that play cartoons to keep the kids distracted during the exam. Everyone from the receptionist to the dental assistant to the dentist was super nice and happy. This is definitely a gem because they accept Child Health Plus plans (CHP). Usually the places that accept CHP are dingy with a clinical feel to them. This practice feels like one of those upscale places that takes very high end insurance. Will totally recommend.

(11/9/25) Front desk and whoever is doing billing has an attitude. Bitchy tone when answering questions. When I started to change my tone and answered back, that's when she calmed down. They do not notify if you will be charged extra for a treatment done and give you a "i dont give a fuck feeling", "you are responsible for the amount or else you will be sent to collecting agency". One of the xray tech as well is impatient, she should not be working with kids, questioning me why did I bring my son when he already got cleaning from school sarcastically. I said the it was recommeneded to follow up with his regular dentist because of cavity, she looks at me disrespectfully, turned around to ask somebody outside. I dont mean to be racist but some black people really have a black soul too. What's up with these people attitude?? Both front desk and manager or biller shit talks down to the dentist (a chinese dentist) They dont even try to tone down so the people around them cant hear it. I feel bad for the dentist! I hope the owner reads this and fires them. Very poor costumer service (biller/manager talked shit about someone she just spoke with on the phone while I'm still there) they seem to be always in a bad mood. Dentists are nice. The ones that are lower title seems to be bitchy and unfriendly. Don't you guys get paid to do your jobs???

I went in for a consultation (free) with Dr. Kastin who was highly recommend. From the moment I met him, I knew I was in great hands. He was so knowledgeable on what procedure/process would work best for my teeth/smile and made sure to explain everything clearly from A-Z. He never once made me feel self conscious about my teeth and was genuinely passionate in providing me with the best treatment plan possible. I did Invisalign for 2 years with Dr. Kastin and I couldn't be happier. A few times I was close to finishing my Invisalign treatment, but Dr. Kastin suggested we keep doing some refinements. Of course I was eager and impatient to finish BUT he kept encouraging me that the results will be worth the wait. He doesn't rush anything and is on your side to helping you achieve your smile goals. I look at my smile and I really can't believe the amazing work he and his team at ProHealth Dental did. Thank you Dr. Kastin, Leslie, and Johnathan!! It still feels surreal. As far as the office, it is extremely clean, hardly any wait times, and an overall great atmosphere. Diana who works the front desk is always helpful in working around my crazy work schedule to get me my appointments. Highly recommend this office and team for any orthodontic work. Couldn't be happier with the service and care I received.

I waited over a MONTH for my son to be seen by the orthodontist. Receive a text day before that the appt is cancelled due to an emergency. Great I get it, People have lives and things happen. However what I do not get is I call today because NOONE called me to reschedule. And I'm told we don't know when the ortho will be back in. Are you kidding me? I've waited over 6 weeks for this appointment only to be told too bad? Unprofessional. This business has gone to trash. Save yourself the headache and book with Astoria smiles. Unless you want to deal with the constant turn over this place endures.

God awful. Two main issues: sexual harassment and overall negligence…read more I have made formal complaints to the NY Dept of Health, my health insurance and the Bayside offices. Overview: May 17, 2025, Dr Thomas repeatedly talked about women's breasts to me as he was cleaning my teeth. I am not a woman, regardless, that Dr Thomas who had never seen be before felt perfectly as ease talking and even singing about women's breast for over 20 mins leads me to believe there is widespread sexual harassment at this facility. And yes, it is sexual harassment even if you are not the object of sexual desire. I didn't ask for his comments. Dentistry has nothing to do with the female anatomy. Nov 21, 2025 (today) I saw Nikki. Her erratic behavior, negligence and constant distractions made me end the appointment shorty after it began. I first told her a sanitized overview of how inappropriate Dr Thomas was to which she immediately told me to "watch what I say". She made statements unrelated to the appointment like "I already had a meltdown over my phone today". I didn't know if this was a conversation opener, if she was on blue tooth, or just sharing thoughts. She also would break into song. She refused to acknowledge when she was being painful in cleaning. She threatened that if I didn't relax the instrument would be "dangerous" in my mouth like a "chainsaw". I'm 51. Going to the dentist isn't a new experience. These threats and dentists singing and talking about breasts are NOT common. When Nikki refused to acknowledge my audible discomfort, my hand signals and gestures, I ended the session. There is something deeply problematic about this location and staff. No one has followed up on my complaints about Dr Thomas. There seems to be a defensive wall to protect foul behavior. I know I am not an isolated case. Do not go here under any circumstances.

My insurance assigned me to this practice and I could not be happier! The office is super modern & clean with a short wait time. I was having what I thought was an emergency from the crown being left after my wisdom tooth surgery a few years back & they were able to fit me in the next day. They assured me the tooth was not an emergency and we will continue to monitor it, referring me to a surgeon if necessary. As I said I have never had a cavity but apparently now I have a bunch of small ones. That was a red flag to me but I took photos to send to my friend doing s dental residency & he confirmed they are in fact cavities. What led me to giving 5 stars here is the dentist took a conservative approach and said if I agree to come in 2x a year & floss more than his advice was to do nothing for now & just monitor. The fact that he didn't rush to insist I needed all of these procedures was reassuring that they weren't trying to just do a bunch of unnecessary stuff to bill insurance. My friend also agreed with this approach. I will be back in 6 months for another cleaning and am glad to have found this place.

My review is about one appointment with a Dr. Wayne Seid who was my dentist at the Astoria/Ditmars…read morelocation. My appointment was for a cleaning and x-rays. I met with 3 people - first the dental hygienist, young-ish male/30s, then Seid, followed by the third person - the business manager. The dental HYGIENIST took x-rays, then told me that I had gum disease and needed Laser treatment ("LANAP"), he said my front teeth were a little loose, that my x-ray showed severe problems with bone lose (below gum line) and therefore problems required immediate laser treatment. (NOTE: Laser treatment CAN cause the bone mass (root) to grow back.) The DENTIST and BUSINESS MANAGER repeated the same stuff including that if you lose a tooth it can effect your health (heart attacks.....). I asked about less expensive treatment - SCALING - where the gums are pulled down so the area below the gum line can be cleaned after injecting anaethesia into the gums. Seid said - can't do it. The dentist, SEID, wanted to start treatment that same day which I found suspicious. The laser treatment was $8,000 ($2,000 per quadrant) and although they submitted to my insurance immediately, and told me my insurance would cover it, MY INSURANCE WOULD NOT COVER THE TREATMENT. I later confirmed this. The BIZ. MGR. told me that if I didn't have the money, a third-party company would pay PROHEALTH DENTAL, and then I would pay the third-party company. WARNING - NEVER ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN!!! because if you fall behind on payments (and depending on how the contract is written) the company could add late fees.... This is a unethical practice (in my mind) that more trusting patients or patients who don't understand english as well as native English speakers. Finally I went for a SECOND OPINION to a reputable dentist, Dr. Jonathan Richter of Oasis Dentistry (UWS in Manhattan) who recommended a much less expensive option, "scaling" described above, which was a fraction of the $8,000. He is an amazing, warm, kind, & honest dentist with amazing educational credentials, who explains the available options in plain english, possible outcomes and lets you decide. Dr. Richter said the scaling can help some of the bone loss to grow back and if it didn't work there were other options including laser. But it didn't make sense to start with the most expensive treatment, because after paying $8,000 you might not have money for other treatment(s) if the laser treatment was not satisfactory.

The dentist temporarily repaired it and told me that a root canal was the only option, and advised me to come back to his office in a week. Despite the tooth repair, I had discomfort when I chewed. So disappointed with this dentist's treatment, I started looking for another dentist in my neighborhood, and I found Dr. Michael Fricchione. Dr. Fricchione's office was accommodating, and on the day of my appointment, I did not have to wait and I was seen by him at the scheduled time. After carefully listening to my tooth problem and thoroughly examining it, Dr. Fricchione gave an appropriate treatment to my damaged tooth and I did not feel any pain at all. Now my tooth is functioning well and provides comfortable chewing. He is very caring and very understanding and with more than 27 years' experiences as general dentist and 10 years' experiences as clinical associate professor at NYU College of Dentistry, Dr. Fricchione is well-versed in new dental technology and treatment. He explained everything to me and I was so impressed with his treatment. Dr. Fricchione is one of the best dentists I have ever seen in my life, and I highly recommend Dr. Michael Fricchione for anyone who wants a comfortable dental visit. Alfred
