I have been going to this dentist for some time (since in the old office) as well as recommending to other friends and family. At first I was happy to find a participating provider that I was comfortable with, all of a sudden they move to a new office and all they want to do is charge you for things that are covered by your insurance and tell you things need to be done that are NOT covered. My last visit for my 6 month cleaning and check up, I sat in the chair (for a long time) after getting my X-rays, FINALLY the dentist ... read more

I had a cleaning a few cavities filled. I had a pleasant experience; staff were friendly and everything seemed pretty normal. After reading the reviews, though, I will be having some more complicated procedures done at another office. So why the two stars then? Because their outreach to clients borders on harassment, probably for the same reason other reviewers were told they needed unnecessary/excessive treatments. It's become clear that they don't see teeth when patients open their mouths, but dollar signs. Without consul... read more

I went for a Root Canal a couple of years ago and I did not enjoy the experience.Dr Malakov was almost sadistic when after I expressed that I had pain while he was drilling my tooth he continued to drill for like a second more before he stopped. Prescribed me an old antibiotic from the 80's to take and also broke my wife's tooth when he was doing a procedure on her.The place is more like a sales convention than a dentist office.......

Went to another dentist (who cost a quarter less...). Turns out I had 4 cavities, not 8 like Steinway Family said. Imagine... I was going to pay 1600 for cavities I didn't even have! I told my new dentist that I supposedly have 8 and he told me that he sees some leftover glue stuck to my teeth from the braces I had in years back. He showed my teeth with mirrors and x-rays, so that ensured me. So either the dentist I saw at Steinway didn't make the right assessment or he was lying to me... ALSO... this is pretty funn... read more

I really don't revel in writing a bad review. No one likes to go to the dentist right? But this place has a serious lack of diplomacy and beside manner. There is a lack of communication on every level so ask a lot of questions or you will have some seriously unpleasant surprises. I spent a lot of money on a cap that doesn't match the color of the rest of my teeth. I just don't know what they expect people to think when they leave that place. Cranky dentists, nebulous prices, lots of up-selling as if you were being sold a car... read more

I can't be more disappointed. After being really nice and trying to make me pay all the $2600 for one tooth, they decided to try a different approach. Hey, let's check if you are eligible for a loan. I said, OK, let's check. Nothing will happen if we check, right? But nooo.. Few days later I get a brand new credit card in my mail that I NEVER AGREED UPON!! When I went back to the office turns out that I have filled out their "application" and that I wanted the card which is completely not true. Those people just got me into ... read more

I'm not finish with my experience as of yet at first I thought they were good...Teeth cleaning was good. However, as another reviewer wrote my temporary crown also fell out not even one day after it was put in... isn't it suppose to last like two weeks??? I'm hopping my permanent crown is going to be better... Why I gave it two stars was ...when I first went in I was told I was gonna get my wisdom tooth pulled I have insurance so I assumed I was covered... nope but they wait until i'm in the chair after waiting a hour and a... read more

I'm not a nitpicker. It takes quite a bit to make me angry enough for a 1 star review. However, I went here to have a crown put in about a year and a half ago. Not only did the temporary crown fall out within a day, but a few seconds before putting in the permanent crown, they told me I probably should've gotten a root canal instead. Wait, what? They also happened to stumble upon a cavity while they were fitting me for the temp crown, yet they didn't see it a few days beforehand when I went in for a cleaning and che... read more
