I cannot express how wonderful Ridge Family Smiles is! I have been going to Ridge Family Smiles for over 10 years and have been a patient of Dr. Angela. She is absolutely amazing. Her brilliant work mixed with her caring bedside manner makes patients feel totally at ease and comfortable no matter what dental work you are having done. She delivers first-class experience and has been responsive and caring in a way that every patient wants their dentist to be. I also want to take this opportunity to give her front desk team and her assistant Ivie their flowers. All of you are truly amazing!!! Cannot recommend Ridge Family Smiles enough.. Thank you, Dr. Angela, for having such a great practice and a wonderful staff... read more

I think Dr. Angela is a good doctor. But she is a little nervous, and she has a lot of interns who are ready to climb into your mouth and practice on you. She can also come up with some kind of payment that you, according to your insurance, should not pay, but she wanted to. And the rest you will say for yourself. read more

Great dentist, great experience. Always upfront pricing. Recommended to my family and the ones that listened have all gone back.

I have been a patient of Dr. Angela for many years. I have never had any issues with care or the cleanliness of the office. Actually, one the cleanest offices I have been to. More importantly, Dr. Angela saved a tooth that I had root canal on. I am forever grateful. She is well versed in many areas of dentistry. I highly recommend her practice. read more

My sister went there the other day and she had a great experience with Dr. Angela, but the real star is Evie ( i hope im spelling her name right) "she made me feel so comfortable and was the sweetest. 5 stars! Highly recommend to everyone! read more

On February 14, I felt sharp pain in my tooth. My doctor told me that I need an endodontist for my root canal. I called EmblemHealth and was given a few names in Brooklyn. I called Dr. Angelina Zavulunova office and asked if they accepted 1199 EmblemHealth insurance. They said OK and gave me my first appointment.During my first visit, I was asked to pay $330 as a cover fee. I paid by VISA. Upon receiving explanation benefits for both visits, I saw that insurance covered my visits and no reason for me to pay $330 by credit card. When I called the office, Dr. Zavulunova screaming on the phone told me that a second treatment was performed by out of network doctor and she told me that during my visit. But this is clearly not true, because I would go to another office if I knew about such case... To put it simply, Dr. Angelina Zavulunova is a Fraud and Thief. read more

I always hated going to the dentist after having a bad experience as a teenager. I found Dr. Angela through my insurance, for my daughter & I From the very first appointment we felt very comfortable, her office is immaculate. Her staff is trained well and they are not sitting around chatting like some other offices do. I've never been more relaxed sitting in her chair. If you need a great dentist she's the one, I've already recommended her to several of my co-workers. Dr. Angela & staff you Rock! read more

Right when you walk in, you feel so comfortable! The bathroom is beautiful, modern and clean and I loved the paper towels and automatic soap dispenser which are crucial during this COVID time. The dental hygienist and x ray techs were so personable and knowledgeable and I have to say, I had the most thorough cleaning of MY LIFE! I went for a routine check up and absolutely adored the doctor. Right away we discussed our personal stories, where we lived, children etc and I appreciated that greatly-especially when most dentists are 'run of the mill' these days. I left the appointment fully trusting her knowledge and experience and would recommend her to anyone! She even built and decorated the office herself-BRAVO to feminine flair ;) read more

This place is terrible. I was a patient for years. One day, the dentist was angry and took it out on me. When I stated how poorly I was treated, I was told, " You're mad because you're not getting drugs!" As a recovering alcoholic this is very offensive. Then they told me if I went back, they would call the cops. I can not stress how offensive their behavior was. They also never start an appointment on time. read more

Dr. Angela was referred to me when I mentioned I was looking for a new dentist. I was hesitant bc her office is 45 minutes from my home but when you receive such a good referral for a dentist you go with it. I was warmly greeted by 2 front desk receptionists, given some paperwork because I was a new patient and seen rather quickly. Dr. Angela was thorough and explained everything that she was doing and next steps. She explained what to expect in future appointments and made my visit comfortable. She's knowledgable in her craft, her office is clean and she comes highly recommended. She is well worth the 45 minute drive!!!!! read more

Angela and her team first and foremost are the best around every time I go in either a root canal wisdom tooth pulled cleaning etc it's done fast and professional, I just had my tooth pulled 3rd molar and I have to say people say it hurts after the anesthesia wears off , but was not the case only for a few hours through the night, this is the next day and I feel great I can open my mouth move very little pain at all , that's how I know she is a boss ! Get your teeth done up here Angela is one of the best in her field and very dedicated to her work as I can tell. You will not be disappointed at all . Thanks Angela for everything see you soon. read more

This doctor seems friendly at first but can turn vicious and treats patients as lf they are her serventile employees. Any persistent question or, God forbid, you re-enter as soon as you exited the inside door. She berates you in front of other employees and patients even if others who work for her verbally gave me assurances about estimates of ordering an implant tooth which was the point of confusion and was why I did it in the first place, and because her receptioninist tells me to tha they will call me when the implant is ready without any further estimate of any time frame. Just simply 'go home and we will call you. But don't call us.' that simply does not fly with me. She is of very thin skin and illogical in many cases and explanations. She also promised up and down that she needs to cut away some of my gums to shorten the gumline and that it will all grow back. But none of it grew back. So she used that to try and get me to come back and re-cap adjacent teeth the root of which are now too exposed and that were capped by a different dentist just to create work. Also, almost every time I went there I saw different staff. Frequent turn around caused by the way she treats people. I have seen this before where owning a business with staff goes to one's head and they start treating people as indentured servents! Forget about this dentist and save yourself from mistakes that she makes that have no remedy. read more

This update is long overdue! The boss heard the feedback and acted upon it immediately! I'm so glad I found this gem of a dentist. Bad enough I have a slight phobia about dental work but I sure send my kids to get their teeth cleaned! Lol. My kids love this dentist. read more

Oh an lord not to mention the amount of courtesy in everyone in there its like once you walk in you're put in a trance to be on your best behavior. 10 out of 10 jelly bellys for sure. read more

Dr. Angela truly cares for her patients. A lot of these bad reviews seem completely outrageous. Every time I've gone, I've had nothing but wonderful experiences. I've recommended many people to Dr. Angela and they all love her. When I have an emergency, she tries to squeeze me in ALWAYS. She knows me, my family, and friends on a first name basis. The only complaint I've heard of is regarding her receptionist, which has now been replaced. Don't let the negative reviews stop you from coming to Dr. Angela, someone who will go above and beyond for you and your teeth. read more

100% RECOMMEND!! If you've been looking for a dentist, come here! Dr. Angela is caring, smart, a complete professional with an amazing staff! I came in to replace a crown that was 30 years old and walked out with the cleanest, most amazing smile ever! The process was explained and I felt very comfortable about it all every step of the way. I would highly recommend anyone to make an appointment and come here! You'll be so happy you did! 10/10. read more

This doctor is a Medicaid scammer. 9 months and counting to get dentures. Said she forgot about me. A liar and accepted the money for the work from Medicaid but never delivered. BEWARE! The worst dentist I have had the displeasure to encounter. read more

I switched to this office as they had the earliest appointment and I was in a bit of pain from a toothache. But, the experience was phenomenal, they were super quick to get me in, they were incredibly clean and had great protocols for Covid, and the dentist was quick and clear on issue and next steps. I will definitely be continuing to use this office. read more

Horrible horrible dr These reviews are fake, do not trust them. She is low class and big mouth. She damage one of my teeth just to get money out of it. She is Money-grubber. She would put tools in your mouth and go off to treat other people that caused her to damage me teeth, You would be drooling for hours before she comes back. In fact, last time I had to get up and go call her assistant to take out the tools. Lazy. Incompetent. Rude. Inexperienced. You go to her for one problem, she created ten other problems. Please do not waste your money! read more

There'a a couple of pretty bad reviews on here, but from my experience here I definitely have to disagree. I've been coming here since last June, I've had a cleaning done and an implant procedure. Dr. Angela was very patient and has great bedside manners. She remembers her patients and explains everything as she is working on you. I called one day because something felt weird in my gums with the implant in place and they told me to come in the same day just to make sure everything was okay. I've never had bad service here, I'm always seen at my appointment time, even earlier often when I go in earlier. It's a dentist office I can understand why appointments can run late depending on what is being done with the patients before me. Mindy at the front desk works efficiently and the rest of the staff is usually friendly as well. read more

Dr. Angela was highly recommended to me. I needed entailed extractions and a denture. Without writing a long story, the day I arrived for the procedure it was not done. She was clearly overwhelmed with too many patients which I imagine the staff didn't book properly. I was nervous because I waited 1 hour and 5 minutes to see her and probably was thinking too much. I have had a bad experience with a former dentist which also contributed to my anxiety. I mentioned that I couldn't tolerate the Novacaine that has a stimulant in it which keeps the anesthetic working longer. But if I take a low-dose tranquilizer I can tolerate it. I didn't take it because I was told by the desk that my "denture arrived" and thought that was why I was going there that day. Dr. Angela first said I should go to a clinic, left the room, cooled off and then came back to proceed, but by then I was scared and more anxious. Frankly, I don't know of one person who doesn't get a tad nervous going to a dentist, let alone a new one. I won't trash the woman because she was clearly overwhelmed. The office is modern and clean. Thank you. read more

Disrespectful. I've been waiting a month to finally complete my RCT from here. Now i can finally post this review. I asked the office before posting this and said I paid all my dues and owe them nothing. So now im free from them. I first went to the clinic a year ago due to severe pain on my molar which ended up needing a RCT. I came back 2 months ago because my tooth chipped. I honestly thought I would just need a filling since I had NO TOOTH PAIN. But the dentist said I needed a RCT, no explanation given as to why. I was stupid also and agreed. I SHOULD'NT HAVE. First session for the RCT went fine although I know my nerve got hit during injection since I felt stinging pain along my jaw. She noticed it since I flinched more than normal and stated what I felt was normal. I know it was not. Anyways, all went well and I left. A few weeks after, I went to have my 2nd session for the RCT. I asked the dentist a question as to if drinking cold drinks could be a reason why my teeth are not strong. AND I SWEAR TO GOD, The dentist just stared blankly and didn't give me an answer. I was apalled and knew this was going to be a long day. I also expressed that I had pain on another tooth and asked if I needed a filling. Without even checking, she already said what's up with your canals. The dentist kept repeating over and over again with a loud voice, "You and your nasty canals." Then i knew it was all business. SMH During that second session as well, she was working on me very rudely and at the end, I felt like I had a shower on my face due to all the water from the dental work spilling on my face. No care was taken to prevent or even lessen it from happening. I wanted to stop going to her already from then on but decided against it since they were going to do my crown. Now, an hour since coming from the dentist I can finally say I HAVE HAD ENOUGH. The dentist is very UNPROFESSIONAL, RUDE AND IMPATIENT. As she was putting the crown, she asked me to bite and apparently I was not doing it properly. I told her I don't know how she means by it but she just kept SCREAMING AT ME. Telling me that if I don't know how to bite then she can't help me. DOC, EXPLAIN TO YOUR PATIENT NICELY WHAT AND HOW IT IS TO BE DONE. There is a reason why you are the dentist and Im a patient. GIVE INSTRUCTIONS. I am also a healthcare professional and I will never treat my patient the way she treated me. NEVER AGAIN. A few feet after I stepped out of her dental clinic, I HONESTLY CRIED because I NEVER FELT THAT HUMILIATED AND DISRESPECTED IN MY WHOLE LIFE. Also, wait times are CRAZY. You have to wait MORE THAN 30 MINUTES! Every time I go there, I always have to wait 30mins or more. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND LOOK FOR A DIFFERENT ONE. read more

I never write reviews but I had such a great experience with Dr. Angela and her team, so I wanted to share it. I've genuinely never had a dentist that cared so much about her patients! Dr. Angela went above and beyond to make things work for me. I needed to get a root canal but my work schedule conflicted with the endodontist's availability. So one day, she calls me out of the blue and figures out a way to accommodate my work schedule. I've never had a dentist put effort into making sure that I get my dental work done. The office and her team are professional and have a relaxed atmosphere, I'm constantly joking around with them. I had such a good experience with my root canal that I switched dentists, and I'm now having her office do the post and crown. I was very surprised by any of the bad reviews, but speaking from my experience, I'm happy to recommend her to my family and friends!! read more

Dr. Angela has moved to a new FABULOUS office that is worthy of it's own TV show! She continues to put her clients needs first. Not only does she answer all of my questions, she also makes sure that I'm comfortable with any work that needs to be done on my teeth. She's a winner! Please check her out, you will NOT be disappointed! read more

I was scared of dentists after a bad experience as a child but I needed to see one. A friend of mine told me about Dr. Angela and I went, advising her before hand that I was quite nervous. She was gentle, kind and really caring. No pain, no distress. I now look forward to going to the dentist and do not view it as some sort of torture. read more

Worst doctor experience ever ! ever!!!!!! this Dr. Angela is a very horrible person. she has an attitude, she will not communicate with you the patient, or if you have a family member. she is not a friendly face if you want to bring your children there, and her work is terrible as well. she takes very long, she has one good receptionist all the others are terrible with attitudes, both doctors that work with her have attitudes for some reason. she is so obnoxious and thinks she is all that. it's very hard to talk to her and you will barely see her anyways, see her she is either yelling at her staff about how unclean the place is, today she yelled at her staff do not use my bathroom this is my bathroom I'm done cleaning it. she will always send in somebody else for you as your dentist! I've seen her with other patients as well I don't understand why people come back to her, but like us who were her customers for three years it could be because of lack of other choices financially. we always came back to her because we wanted her to finish her job before we moved on , but she never did. read more

Dr. Angela and her team are amazing. I started seeing her in 2013 (i lived up the block from the office) she's extremely friendly great bedside manor and might I add super stylish. Fast forward to today 2017, I'm now married with a baby and i moved to staten island. It was hard to find the time to go to a dentist let alone find a new one. So I commuted to see her and I'm so glad i did. Not only did she remember me she remembered my husband and what we both did for a living. I even recieved a complimentary whitening kit. And the staff took turns watching my baby while i was getting my check up. If you are looking for a dentist that is down to earth and about her business hands down she's your girl. read more

This place his horrible, very impatient and defensive. Doc Angela tell you one thing 1 day on the next visit she tell you something different. The off is is not sanitary, there is no sanitary tape on the equipment and doc Angela doesn't wear a mask when she operating on her patients, read more

Please, anybody looking to book an appointment here...DONT.. ,very unprofessional... dont know where she was from sounded like she had a russian accent...anyways the worst possible patient service..maybe she had a bad day ,but in anycase she has no right to be rude to patients..called to make an appointment for my poor dad who has trouble speaking because of the pain from his teeth..puts me on hold for a min and then all of a sudden lashes out with an extremely rude tone as if i stole her life or something.....tells me he needs a consultation..says "O.K" then hangs up..call her again saying why did u hang up..giving her the benefit of the doubt maybe we got cut off..."she says u want to make appointment or no" ..the other thing was that my dad on the same day went to a local dentist who already took xray photos..and she with her slobish arrogant tone of voice says "HE CHAS TO DO EET AGAIN" and i said well i could give you the xray i took minutes ago ..then she says "OK HE COULD USE THAT"......ANYWAYS long story short im not sure if they know what they are doing in that office... read more

Dr Angela is a cool and awesome dentist. I been seeing her for the past 2 years I'm very happy with the work done by her. I'm not a dentist fan she's knows it from day one and she did all it takes to make me comfortable. Very patient person!! Even my 2 kids love to go see her than any other dentist. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Very shady practice. Very impersonal. Incompetent secretary. The dentist doesn't even know which patient is which. The times I called, even after giving my name, I was confused with another patient..every time. Her office is dingy, on the ground floor of an apt building. I even saw a cockroach. I find it funny that all the positive reviews here were on the same day. Avoid at all costs!!! read more

She is an example of a malpractice dentist. So rude person and unreliable. All of these reviews are fake. It was a terrible experience visiting this place. Angela is the worst doctor in the world. She has no ethics at all. I do not know how she became a doctor. It's all about making money. Once you go there you will start your journey with teeth major problems, because she will cause the problems to get paid. In my case, she convinced me to do filling in a molar tooth and damaged it. I was suffering for months from pain. every time I told her I have pain, she screamed on my face telling me the insurance does not cover root canal, which was not cover by my insurance to pay her from my pocket. I could not eat on my right side for months. Then, I went to another dentist who told me that the nerve was dead and infected, and I need a root canal and crown which cost $1800. She used all the routine visits including Emergency visit. She supposedly not charge the insurance for visiting her to finish her damn job. When I went to another dentist I had to pay $50 from my pocket to cover the visit. When you go to your appointment you have to wait for more that an hour. She's rude many times I went there for my appointment and she got busy and didn't want to see me, because she's overpocked. It's not my problem!!! She's unprofessional when she works she always talks with her assistant about her personal life. I do NOT want to hear your nasty life. One day, she was taking about her sister or sister in law how she does not have money and likes to show off. She says" she does not have a penny under her name". read more

This office is great! The dentist is super professional and extremely knowledgeable. Dr. Angela made the visit enjoyable, i forgot that i was sitting in a chair getting my teeth worked on! She answered all my questions and was very pleasant. The office is extremely clean and i love the decor. The front desk and dental assistant are polite and approachable. It's clear that this dentist knows exactly what she's doing and that her patients come first. I'll be referring all my friends here. read more
