WILL LIE ABOUT COPAY! DONT GO HERE! I was supposed to have a $35 copay and they charged me $250! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had even called in advance to verify insurance and that I would have the $35 copay for the usual dental exam, which they had confirmed, and said nothing of the "required new patient exams" they would force on me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When I get to the appt, they start pushing for other exams that they say they "need to do for first time appts". [[HIGHLIGHT]]I kept saying to please see if it was covered by my insurance before performing as I was not familiar with these exams, but they said I had to do these exams as a new patient.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Then I'm hit with a $250 bill. I always get my bi-annual dental exams and this was the first time I was charged over my $35 copay. When I called my insurance on why the services weren't covered, my insurance said the dentist did exams that were above the normal amount they were supposed to do for annual exams. Essentially the dentist told me these exams were required for new patients and were covered by my insurance, forced me to get exams even when I said I did not want to, and then I had to pay an unreasonable bill for an appt that should have been a normal annual appt. They also try to push invisalign and teeth whitening. read more

I was a patient at PDA Dental for over 20 years, but this recent experience completely changed my opinion. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The billing clerk I interacted with was dismissive, unhelpful, and refused to process my Aetna discount program, even though the practice is listed as a participating provider and my enrollment was active.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Instead of addressing my questions, she ignored me, repeatedly walked away while I had an Aetna representative on the phone ready to provide the necessary information, and refused to speak with them at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This behavior was unprofessional and made an already stressful situation even more frustrating. Speaking with an insurance representative to resolve confusion is the bare minimum when handling patient billing, and unfortunately that was not my experience here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I hope the practice takes this feedback seriously and improves the professionalism, communication, and training of their billing staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Very knowledgeable team and professionals that take time to explain and take care of our teeth! Mariluz was very gentle and patient taking my scan for my night guard and invisalign. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ladies at the front desk are very professionals and always willing to help![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This used to be a wonderful practice but it is now run by a corporation and it is terrible. One of the dentists (Yonaton Mehrzadi, DDS) did half my procedure and took my full payment but did NOT complete the work. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The office is not helping me resolve this so I am taking them to small claims court as I paid over $1000 out of pocket and only had the first part of the procedure completed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Avoid this place it has changed and is no longer a good dental office. Makes me sad because I have been a client for many many years. I feel so ripped off and never imagined in a million years that a dental office of this size would scam me like this. read more

Terrible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I just had a bad experience and I suppose it was bound to happen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have been a patient of this practice going back many years when it was owned & run by its founder, Dr. David Ritholz -- a great dentist and a terrific person who genuinely cared about his patients and the quality of the entire practice. His staff and operation reflected that standard. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Since he left, and then his son who took over, recently left, everything has changed with the exception of a couple of the wonderful original staff members.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I feel for them. The corporation that now runs the operation and hires its practitioners and staff, couldn't care less about the quality of either the work nor the way in which it is delivered. Billing is everything; patients be damned. I mean, read the responses to some of the recent bad reviews here; they speak for themselves. As of today, I am looking for a new dentist. read more

The charge for a single set of Invisalign retainers is significantly more expensive than before(when Dr Ritholtz still there).You can get four sets elsewhere for the same price. I wouldn't recommend ordering retainers from this office. read more

This place is no longer owned by Dr Ritholtz and he no longer practices here [[HIGHLIGHT]]Front desk is all gone and the new folks are very condescending with bad vibes[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is not a place I'd recommend anymore. The ratings are for the old ownership - so beware The billing department is also a mess which has never happened over the past 10 years Regular cleaning now will randomly send you a bill And just realized this place is owned by private equity - no wonder service quality has gone done the drain read more

Update: Why is it that PDA Dental can respond to a Yelp review but has YET to return my phone calls and emails to address the below matter???? BEWARE! Terrible dentist. Terrible practice. Unresponsive. Unethical. I went through a painful crown process only to have the crown not fit properly and caused tremendous pain for weeks. The dentist only suggested a root canal. I was forced to start the process over at a new provider, who confirmed the poorly fitted crown was the cause of the problem and a root canal was not necessary. The office also committed insurance fraud by forcing me to pay out of pocket for estimated costs based on my insurance but never submitted the claim. I've emailed and called for the last 6 weeks with no response. The office manager always seems to be in a meeting until 2 but never returns my calls or emails. Unacceptable. read more

I had a routine cleaning at PDA Dental and it was clear before and after that there would not be a bill associated with the cleaning (after clarifying that I had already had X rays that year and that I did not want to pay for further X rays, and they said they would absorb the charges for this since I was a new customer). Fast forward 6 months and not only do I receive several statements from the for X rays, but they acknowledge they were not supposed to send me these, and the charges are sent to a collection agency. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this nightmare dental office. read more

Dr Steven was amazing! He is patient, always listens to what you have to say and has the utmost concern for his patients. He pays attention to your questions and does not push you to do anything (like most other people in the industry). Always upfront about costs involved and timelines, respectful and very helpful. I could not have asked for a more capable person to take care of the only smile I got. The staff are very kind and professional as well. Dr Steven helped me not only with Invisalign, but also with veneers to dramatically reshape my smile. The results speak for themselves. I have already recommended him to family and friends. I am forever grateful! read more

My best friend told me about PDA Dental because I was thinking about getting invisalign. I was very happy with my decision as soon as I walked into the office. The receptionist was warm and friendly, the staff was super organized and Dr Steven Ritholtz did a great job explaining the whole process to me. Fast forward 3 months later and my smile is perfect! Needless to say, this is now my new dental office read more

PDA Dental - Teeth - General Dentistry Near Me - New York, New York

This review is for the PEDIATRIC DENTIST Dr. Hye In Nam under whose care our 12 year old daughter nearly lost her new adult molar tooth covered by a retainer. Dr. Nam failed to spot the compromised seal and prevent and extensive decay that took years to develop. When the retainer was removed and the emergency identified, she refused to see us on her office day, didn't follow-up afterwards and did not respond to the orthodontist's referral. We had to seek help at a different practice. As a result, we lost trust in the abilities of Dr. Nam and were extremely disappointed by the lack of care and follow-up from the Dr and practice. DO NOT TAKE YOUR KID THERE!! read more

Confirmed appointment all the way up until the week before only to tell me I had no appointment when I showed up on Monday at 8:45 am.

Generally my visits to the dentist are like the Bill Murray/Steve Martin scene from Little Shop of Horrors (1986). However, PDA Dental was an absolutely pleasant experience. I highly recommend. read more

I just completed my Invisalign treatment and am absolutely ecstatic. I worked with both Drs.David Galler and Steven Ritholtz and they are both fabulous. Both were very easy to work with and they genuinely seemed to care very much about my needs and what I was looking for as an end result. I've struggled with orthodontic problems since I was a child, I was always against traditional metal braces and have been told in the past I was not a candidate for Invisalign. But it was all made possible with Drs.Galler and Ritholtz. My only regret was I didn't do it sooner. I can not wait to show off my new smile!! Also, I am extremely pleased with the entire office, the efficiency and cleanliness. I have actually switched my primary dental office to Premiere Dental and have my routine care here now. I've recommended my fiancé, best friend and even coworkers here. The best dental office I've been to (...and I usually hate them) Thanks so much Drs.Galler and Ritholtz and the entire staff at Premiere Dental!! :) read more

I think I may have been PDA's longest tenure Invisalign patient! We moved away for 15 months during the pandemic and the staff was so helpful in making sure I had what I needed to continue treatment while we were away. I'm very happy with the results. The staff is exceptionally pleasant and personable. I hate going to the dentist, but actually looked forward to my visits here. I started my Invisalign treatment when I was pregnant, and the staff was fantastically considerate and accommodating. I would highly recommend this practice. Dr. Ritholtz is professional and thoughtful! read more

PDA Dental - General Dentistry Near Me - New York, New York

So while the pandemic was a complete bummer, getting my smile upgraded by Dr. Steven Ritholz was one of the highlights. About two years ago, I realized I wasn't happy with my gappy smile. Though people always complimented me on my smile, I had not really given it any investment over the years. I filed it away as an item on my future wishlist. Enter 2020 and working from home and generally being at home seemed to be the perfect moment to make a change. Dr. Ritholz came recommended to me by a friend and it was a flawless experience from end to end. Convenient location, easy scheduling, on time appointments, detailed explanations of every step, and great safety protocols meant that I felt like I was in good hands. Now it's time to take my new smile on the road! #vaccinated read more

Dr. Steven Ritzholtz did fantastic, life changing work for my smile. I was skeptical at first whether Invisalign would even be able to help me as I had a severe case but Dr. Ritholtz guided me professionally throughout the process and I am blown away by the final results. read more

Just got my retainer today, which means it's the end of my Invisalign experience. My treatment last about 7 months. Dr. Ritholtz is amazing, who makes the process super easy and simple. I love my new smile and my teeth feels healthier. I would recommend whoever is considering Invisalign gives it a try. It maybe an only tiny movement but it's totally worth it. Book a consultation with Dr. Ritholtz. read more

I have been a patient since 2000 and would never go anywhere else. I have had the father as my dentist now I have the son. PDA is not about the money but about giving the best care and advise to their patients. My hygienist Sherry is the best, Dr.Nair is the best Periodontist ever. I did my implants there with Dr Mendel my root canal you name it, anything to do with my dental care they take care of me. Great practice. Thanks Dr. David Ritholtz for having such a wonderful practice and thanks for Steven your son who is doing just as great in your foot steps! Sincerely. Mrs. Woods read more

Dr Steven Ritholtz was awesome. I did a treatment for Invisalign and he was there every step of the way. He was knowledgeable, took the time to explain the procedures and what I need to do. I even finished ahead of the schedule. Thank you so much PDA. read more

Update: Within the last 3 years, I have gone through 3 dentists. They all leave! Just when I get used to my dentist, she's gone. I'm on my 4th dentist now--wonder if she will stick around?!?!? Luckily, I never require any work on my teeth so it's just a bi-annual visit. I continue to stay on. It's a good, solid practice. read more

Great Invisalign experience with Dr.Ritholz and PDA Dental team. They care about their patients and went above and beyond to deliver mu desired results. The journey took a couple of months and my smile never looked better! read more

I came to see Dr. Steven Ritholtz as my Invisalign provider. His office came recommended to me by a coworker that has been a decades long patient. After looking around with different Invisalign providers it was clear to me that PDADental was the best place for me. I had braces as a preteen, but never kept up with my retainers and my teeth inevitably shifted. I didn't know if I was a candidate for Invisalign or how long everything would take. Thankfully, through out the entire Invisalign process Dr. Ritholtz and PDADental staff couldn't have been more helpful. They made sure to go over any questions I had about the process so I left knowing everything I needed to about getting the dream smile I wanted at a cost I could afford. With the help of everyone at PDADental I now have a smile I can be proud of. read more

Amaizing service and a successful Invisalign treatment from Dr. Steven Ritholtz. Patient and flexible with my schedule.

Yes, I actually enjoy and look forward to dentist appointments at Premier Dental and no, they aren't holding a gun to my head right now as I type. Jokes aside, I've been coming here for general cleanings since 2014 and I have to say that the team here is amazing - especially Natasha and Menna - they're so nice and thorough I almost get sad when the visit is over. This year I decided to get Invisalign and my experience with Dr. Galler and Dr. Ritholtz has been phenomenal. They closed up my gap in no time and were very professional, friendly and flexible (I lost a few trays and they didn't lecture and try to make me feel bad) throughout the entire process. I'll continue to come to Premier for all of my dentistry needs as long as I live in NYC. Thanks Premier Dental team you guys are the best! read more

I decided to get Invisalign during COVID, with hopes that I could still receive great in-person care. After calling around to several places in manhattan, I went with PDA Dental. Dr. Steven Ritholtz did an amazing job of giving me the smile I always wanted! The whole process took about 5 months, which is great timing for transforming a smile. PDA always fit me in for appointments that fit my schedule and I received great care during every one. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone- friendly office staff, very clean environment, and great care/results! I will continue coming here for my cleanings due to this great experience. Thanks PDA!! I love my smile read more

I called to reschedule my cleaning with Dr. Bae a couple weeks ahead of time -- the woman on the line informed that she had left the practice, and they would not tell me where she went. When I asked which doctors were available to see at my upcoming appointment, she said they were just going to assign me to another dentist, "whoever happened to be there during your cleaning." Um, no. Whenever one of my doctors has left a practice in the past, I at least heard from the practice as a courtesy, and to ask if I had a preference as to whom I'd like to see going forward. Never before have I been talked down to for asking something as simple as which doctor I could see, and then hung up on when I said I'd have to cancel the appointment. I should have known something was up when I tried to look up their number -- Premier used to have their phone number on their website, but now they have this weird give-us-your-number-and-we'll-call-you system, which always sketches me out (especially since they seem to have scrubbed all their phone info from yelp, etc.) Back to searching yelp to find another good dentist in the area (and since Dr. Bae was responsible for like half the five star reviews below, so should you)! read more

I am so pleased with the result and the care during my treatment.

I am NEVER going to PDA Dental again. After going there for several years, one of the receptionists told me that they had to cancel my appt because I was 15 min late. I understand that its important to be timely but this can happen to anyone! So I told the receptionist, "isn't that within the time limit to honor the appt?" She said, "no, its 10 min." WTH? But I had called at 12:36pm (proof attached) to let you know I was running late and that I was already heading there! First off, I was 100% sure my appt was at 1:00pm and not 12:30pm, but when I saw the text I practically ran from my office to try and get there on time and hence why I called - to be courteous! Also, I never received a confirm email or text prior to that text! I rushed and yet when I got there they said that the only thing they could do was reschedule me for later in the day. I can't just take more time away from work!? Plus there was absolutely NO ONE in the waiting area! This type of customer service is inexcusable. You're treating people like a simple number! No flexibility on your part? Then none on mine either. There are so many other dentists in the area - you just lost a client - I mean a number (and several digits every six months!). But then again, I guess the owner doesn't need the money seeing as how PDA employees treat their clients. One star is too much. SMH! read more
