I've been going to PW Dental Care for many years and they take wonderful care of me. Everyone is so…read morefriendly and happy to see me. Stella, the office manager, takes great care to see after all my insurance, billing, coordinating, & appointment needs. I've never met a office person, who is more well-versed in the medical understanding of what the doctors are doing. She runs the office with great efficiency, solving problems that occur, & makes the office operate like a well oiled machine. Besides from the doctors knowing me so well, by face, name, & medical issues, how well the office runs makes my visiting a very pleasant experience. + The Reverend Father Guy Dioguardi, DD, IOTR

I would give no stars if I could. I made an appointment with Port Washington Dental Care (right…read morenear the train station) because part of my tooth fell out (it had a filling already). The older woman that works at the front desk is the only one who seems to know anything. When I made the appoint, they had asked if I wanted a cleaning as well, so I said, "Sure!" The place is poorly laid out because you have to upstairs to where the dental work is done, going past cubicles and other things. It's confusing. Not one person introduced themselves before I saw the dentist. I told one of them I was on a blood thinner and getting nervous beforehand. I was concerned about my blood pressure because it sometimes goes up in doctor's offices. I was dreading the cleaning because it's been a long time. They could not find their new, modern bp machine. I was told they only had the old type with the cuff, but no one said anything about why they couldn't just use the cuff one. People went in and out of the office without telling me who they were or what I was waiting for. They took full X-rays that did not hurt, so that was the best thing about the whole place. The dentist came in, eventually, and said that she would be putting in a temporary filling, but I needed to get my regular doctor to sign off on stopping my blood thinner for a few weeks before they did the cleaning. I said, OK. The dentist was not very friendly or warm at all. No bedside manner. She tried to get me a mouth guard (since I grind my teeth), even though I said I'd tried it before and couldn't take it. She put the future dental work that she felt I needed through to the insurance company ahead of time (including the mouth guard), which I'd never seen done before. It seemed kind of greedy, but I'm not a native NY resident, so perhaps they do things differently here than in the other states in which I've lived. When I left, I went downstairs to the main receptionist. She said that everyone else there was new (implying that no one knew what they were doing). They had given me the form for my doctor, but only one page of it, so she had to get the other page. She also told me that she had the new blood pressure cuff. She wasn't why nobody knew that. She was very nice. Then the real nightmare began. Since my PCP is just a few blocks away, I walked the form over there and gave it to them. In the meantime, weeks passed, and my temporary filling or crown fell out. I called them to make an appointment, but I was told 1) they still needed the doctor's authorization and 2) had not received it yet. BTW, you cannot call the place directly. It goes through some third party. Not a good way to run a business. I walked back to the PCP and the woman there said they did fax it over to them, but I asked her to do it again. They still did not get it. I received very short, poorly written emails from the dentist office when I emailed. I'd had enough, so I switched to a new dentist. Somewhere in there, I had gone back to their office, and they had a different receiptionist - a young one that didn't seem to know much. She gave me their card, which had their email address. I had addressed the issue of why I couldn't just call them directly. She told me that I should email. The thing is, the phone kept ringing, and she answered it. So I said, if patients can't call directly, who is calling you. She seemed flustered and just said, "I don't know," which is very odd. I emailed them about getting a copy of the X-rays sent to the new one. They finally did email me a request form, so that I could fill it out and email it back to them, but it went into my spam folder, so I didn't get it right away. I finally called them, and they helped me search for it in my Gmail, which was nice. However, no one ever answered me when I asked them if they received it. They did not send it to the new dentist, so the new one had to take all new X-Rays, which were not painless. The new dentists easily fixed the tooth with a temporary crown, and then put in a permanent crown, as well as cleaned my teeth without me needing to get off any medication.

We had a very pleasant experience with Dr. Irina Kellerman-Volk and her staff. My daughter was very…read moreanxious about the appointment and any procedure, but Dr. Kellerman-Volk was very patient with her and spend a lot of time trying to calm her down, the staff was very helpful and kind and always available to help. Dr. Kellerman-Volk is very professional, she takes the time to explain what needs to be done and provides valuable advice , It's not easy to find a good dentist for your kids, I highly recommend Dr. Irina Kellerman-Volk and her staff for kids and adults. You will be Greeted with respect, dignity and a deep desire to provide the best possible care for her patients and their many, diverse needs. Patience, persistents and perseverance is what it takes with each individual and Dr. Irina Kellerman-Volk and her staff come through with flying colors! Alway's warm and welcoming My gratitude for Dr. Irina Kellerman-Volk and her staff goes beyond the stars! There is no other dentist I would go to or recommend! When you find the best, you keep it! Thank you! We love you so much! With love, Diana Meka

I just left this place feeling really uncomfortable, and totally turned off…read more I've been here before. Came in for a cleaning. Hygenist did a great job, fantastic cleaning and x-rays. Showed me exactly what is wrong with my teeth. Dr. Volk also came in, explained what I needed, and I actually agree that the treatment plan makes sense. Then I'm just left there in the chair, and then the treatment plan person comes in. I thought that it would be an estimate that I could review at home and make financial decisions over. She asks me to come into her office, I said I needed to get back to work (as I just set aside time for the appointment) she keeps talking and then says she needs to talk to Dr Volk. I wait some more. She comes up front and then asks me to come into her office anyway because 'something changed'. I let her explain for a few minutes, understand the thought process, and said that I need to digest it, but that I do take it seriously and need to check my insurance, etc. I also said that I need to get back to work. She keeps talking, saying 'lets do the cavities, etc' I said that will probably be my plan, but I need to check my finances, insurance, etc and make a plan - they are handing me an 8000 dollar treatment plan. Only after I asserted myself more (that I needed to return to work) that she relented. This literally was high-pressure used car salesman like tactics. It ruined an otherwise good experience with the hygenist and Dr Volk. I understand the urgency of the work - thats not the problem. The problem is that this office left me totally uncomfortable today. I expect that from a used car salesman, and I go in prepared for it. But not from my dentist. I even recommended them to my wife. This really stinks.

I had the pleasure of having Allana doing my xray and cleaning for my first visit and she is super friendly, professional and thorough! Ancel the office manager worked with me to find an appointment that fit my schedule and called me right away when a cancellation came in at an earlier date and time. The office is safe, clean, beautiful and really welcoming. Tbh, all the staff I met there at this visit from the front desk greeting me, to the staff coming in to see why we were having so much fun at my appointment to Dr. Adam, Dr. Mitch and papa Dr. Kornhaber, I felt totally welcomed and not rushed nor pressured with a procedure to get my teeth in order. The BEST was I felt zero, zilch, nada pinch or pain when Dr. Adam stuck me with novocaine for my procedure. I was sitting there waiting and when I asked him when he was going to stick me, so I can prepare myself lol, he casually said he already did and I had zero idea. It was AWESOME!!! This is the first time in decades that I'm actually excited to go to a dentist appt. I cannot recommend them enough! Support local!

Had great experiences with this office and my family has been involved with them for many years…read more(over 30 years). Since Dr. Mitchell joined his Dad, then brought on his younger brother Dr. Adam, it is the place to go for the most up to date and advanced dental work. Yes it's about dental health, but they have also have great suggestions to enhance your smile. As someone in the service business helping multitudes of people, my smile is the lead for customer satisfaction! Great team of friendly and helpful folks from front to back .

Dr. Salem Does It Again! A Completely Pain-Free Dental Implant--How Is That Even Possible?…read more Just yesterday, I had a dental implant performed by Dr. Salem, and I am still amazed--it was completely PAIN-FREE! Yes, you read that correctly. A dental implant! No pain! How is that even possible? The answer is simple: Dr. Salem! As a busy attorney managing a demanding law practice, my time is extremely valuable. Yet I routinely rearrange my schedule to make the hour-and-a-half drive from northern Westchester County to Port Washington--a journey of more than THREE HOURS round trip, not including traffic delays and tolls--just to be treated by Dr. Salem. And BTW, yesterday, on my way to Port Washington, at approx 11:30 AM, I lost an additional 30 minutes in traffic at the Throgs Neck Bridge due to NYPD activity! Some might reasonably ask: Why travel so far when there are numerous highly qualified dentists much closer to home? Here's what makes my decision even more remarkable: I actually have dentists who are my own clients, and they would be more than happy to treat me! These are wonderful, highly skilled professionals whom I genuinely like, respect, and hold in the highest regard. And to each of them, I say with the utmost affection and respect: Please, no offense intended! I love you all, but when it comes to my own dental care, my loyalty remains with Dr. Salem! That is not a reflection on anyone else's abilities. It is simply a testament to the extraordinary trust, confidence, and comfort that Dr. Salem has earned from me over the years. My answer has never been clearer: Dr. Salem is simply the BEST OF THE BEST! Yesterday's implant procedure only reinforced what I have known for years: Dr. Salem possesses an extraordinary combination of technical expertise, precision, patience, and exceptional skill. And while his practice is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, his greatest asset is something no amount of money can buy--his remarkably gentle, almost magical hands! His touch is so extraordinarily light and delicate that even a procedure as intimidating as a dental implant turned out to be an amazingly comfortable, completely pain-free experience. I still find myself wondering: How on earth does he do it? Modern technology may be impressive, but in Dr. Salem's hands, it becomes nothing short of magic! And his exceptional skills are only part of the story. Dr. Salem is warm, personable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in his patients' comfort and well-being. His entire staff deserves special recognition as well. They are friendly, attentive, professional, and welcoming, making every visit a genuinely pleasant experience. To top it all off, his fees are reasonable, especially considering the exceptional quality of care he provides. Now, at this point, some of you reading this review may be thinking: "Andrew, this sounds less like a patient review and more like a paid commercial for Dr. Salem!" Well, let me assure you, I AM NOT BEING PAID A SINGLE PENNY! No discounts, no special favors, no compensation whatsoever. I am simply so impressed by this wonderful man and his staff that I feel compelled to tell the world! Which reminds me of a joke about a dear Jewish friend who, after making love to the most beautiful woman in the world, decided to walk into a Catholic church and enter the confessional. He proceeded to tell the priest all about his extraordinary romantic encounter. The priest listened and finally asked, "My son, are you Catholic?" "No, Father," the man replied. "I'm Jewish!" The puzzled priest asked, "Well, if you're Jewish, what on earth are you doing here telling me all this?" And the man replied: "FATHER, I'M NOT JUST TELLING YOU-- I'M TELLING EVERYBODY!" WELL, THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FEEL ABOUT DR. SALEM! Andrew Sayegh, Esq. sayeghlaw.ny@gmail.com

The practice was bought by The Smilist and it's gone downhill. The dentist and hygienist are good…read morebut the billing practices are awful with zero transparency. Patients are now required to pay in full upfront for dental work (in our case, thousands of dollars). The Smilist was reimbursed months ago by my insurance carrier but they haven't refunded any of the money I paid upfront. It's been months and can't get anyone to resolve. Given all the similar negative reviews on Google, this is the norm and others are going through the same ordeal.

Being year 2020, I still felt completely safe having extensive dental work done, as the office practices all the recommended covid protocols. My implants turned out beautifully. I feel like I've had them all my life and they look naturally amazing! I can chew & speak like they were my own teeth Dr.Fientuch is clearly skilled and cares about the quality of his work. But just as important is that you can tell he really cares about his patients. He explained everything carefully to me and as he worked on my teeth he frequently checked in to make sure I was not in any unnecessary discomfort. When I first started the teeth extractions, Dr. F called me at home and even gave me his cell phone number in case I had any questions or concerns throughout the entire process. His incredibly capable assistant Nicole has been working in the field for over 30 years. She is incredibly upbeat and knowledgable. She is just the strong, kind and steady presence I appreciated during my complicated dental work. Catherine at the front desk was always welcoming, efficient and helpful with scheduling and billing issues.

OK, let me start with, I hate Dentists, but it's something you have to do. So if you're going,…read moremight as well go to someone that's good. Dr Zapantis is definitely one of the best Dentists I've gone to. She's gentle, she knows what she's doing. The place is very clean, has up to date equipment. Oh and did I mention they have Nitrous (sweet Air), that definitely helps take the edge off while getting your mouth worked on. Her office staff is really nice, and Rita the Dental Hygienist really does a great job and has a very gentle touch. Also her office in in the Americana shopping center so you can always go shopping after a visit......
