I typically don't write reviews--good or bad--but I feel incredibly dissatisfied and disappointed…read morewith my experience at Dr. Vasserman's office. I was recommended to this office by someone I truly trust, as I am not originally from NYC. The office itself is nice, and Corrie is typically friendly. For a basic teeth cleaning, this place is fine. However, if you need any significant dental work, I strongly urge you to reconsider. In 2022, my teeth had shifted due to Invisalign, and I wanted to have my front tooth (tooth #8), which had a crown from a childhood injury, redone so that it aligned properly. I initially considered finding a specialist but decided to go with Dr. Vasserman--something I deeply regret. Trust your intuition--if something feels off, it probably is. When I discussed my needs with Dr. Vasserman in April 2022, he assured me it would take only a few weeks. However, after many emails and back-and-forth conversations, I was informed that it would actually take eight weeks just for the lab in Chicago to begin my case. This was a complete contradiction to what I was initially told. When the crown finally arrived months later, I was shocked. This was supposed to be from the best of the best lab, yet the tooth looked nothing like the rest of my teeth. I don't understand why he didn't use a lab in NYC where I could have been directly involved in the process. It became increasingly clear that he didn't know what he was doing when it came to cosmetic dental work. After much back-and-forth, and clear frustration from Dr. Vasserman, we eventually landed on a tooth that was "acceptable"--but by this point, it was July. Between April and July, my temporary tooth fell out multiple times, I had to go back and forth to the office countless times, and I constantly questioned my decision to have him do the work. The worst part? Any time I called for an update or to get help, it often felt like the office was avoiding me. Calls would go unanswered, and I would have to follow up multiple times just to get basic information. The lack of communication and accountability was infuriating. Fast forward to November 2024--I started experiencing severe pain and discomfort in my front tooth. The pain was unbearable, keeping me up at night and even giving me headaches. I switched dentists due to my previous experience and didn't feel comfortable returning to Dr. Vasserman. Well, turns out my instincts were right--I now have a serious infection in the tooth. The crown wasn't even cemented properly, leaving it loose and unstable. The infection has become so severe that my tooth is now unsalvageable. I have to undergo major surgery, including tooth extraction and bone grafting, because the infection has eroded my bone. Here's the most frustrating part: I have had this tooth redone three times in my life, and never--not once--have I had an issue like this until this last procedure. The fact that I trusted a dentist who clearly lacked the skill and experience for this type of work is devastating. The moral of the story? If something feels off, trust yourself. Go to a specialist. If I had listened to my gut, I wouldn't be dealing with this nightmare now. If you only need a cleaning, this place is fine. But for any serious dental work, I cannot recommend this office and would strongly advise against going here.

He explained the pricing to me, which was very fair (and a huge relief), he set me up for the procedure immediately, and when it was happening, I was 110% relaxed and didn't feel a thing. And it was so fast! He is incredibly skilled, and so kind, and his staff is just wonderful. So I've been coming back 2x per year ever since! I recommend him and his office to all of my friends! Also after every cleaning they give you a little gift bag of mini toothpaste/brush/mouthwash/floss which has been a huge bonus for me as I travel a lot for work. Highly recommend!

I scheduled a standard cleaning--nowhere during booking,…read moreconfirmation, or check-in did anyone mention that X-rays were mandatory before they'd even touch my teeth. Only after I showed up and sat down did they spring it on me: no X-rays, no cleaning. That's not patient care--that's bait and switch. I took time off, traveled in, and rearranged my day for an appointment they refused to honor due to their own failure to communicate clearly. They wasted my time, showed zero accountability, and acted like it was somehow my fault for not agreeing to something I was never told about in the first place. If this is how they handle routine cleanings, I wouldn't trust them with anything more serious. They may care more about insurance billing than about actual patient care or informed consent. Avoid this practice unless you enjoy being blindsided and dismissed. NYC has better options--go find one.

This dentist performed nine root canals and a placed nine porcelain fused metal crowns in a patient with autism, the patient went in asking for dental sealant and implants, Pannu recommended 11 root canals and crowns. The doctor also refused to do the implants until his recommended treatment was complete, and after his recommended treatment was completed he abandoned the patient and refused to admit that he had put porcelain fused to metal crowns in the patient even though the patient tried to verify half a dozen times that the right material was used. The patient initially said no to root canals, then Pannu disguise that treatment and recommended nerve treatment with a protective coating. The dentist milk Medicaid for $27,000 fraudulently, and the reason he would not use full ceramic crowns which is what the patient consented to in the end, is because he discriminated against the form of payment which was Medicaid, because he was selling cubic zirconia crowns for $3,000 a tooth. Do not go here, do not take your children here, this man committed intentionally negligent torts putting the patient at risk to line his own pocket while submitting this claim to the government and getting paid after falsifying the x-rays that he sent to the insurance.

After I filled out the paperwork since I was a new patient, I was quickly whisked into a room to be seen. Dr. Strachan listened to everything I had to say and did a very thorough check-up. His technology seems to be very up to date (getting x-rays with him was a breeze). He was not rough and I wasn't in any pain throughout my entire teeth cleaning. He was very professional and had given me tips on things to look out for (I naturally don't have wisdom teeth on my lower jaw and he told me the wisdom teeth, although not impacted, may start to come down over time). I felt like he took a genuine interest in my health and am happy to be his patient!

But when I do finally put in an appearance, after, say, a year's absence, Dr. Strachan doesn't lecture me. He just welcomes me back and gets down to business, finds the cavities and fills them. He does good work. I enjoy my conversations with him (when my mouth isn't full). His office is always pleasant and welcoming. His assistants seem to be dentists in training, nice kids, very conscientious. My previous dentist tried to get me to replace every filling in my mouth, which, I'm pretty sure, had more to do with increasing his revenue stream than it did with advancing my dental health. Dr. Strachan isn't like that. He isn't trying to sell me anything. He's just doing what needs to be done and doing it well. And that's exactly what you want from a dentist, right?

He puts me at ease by giving me a moment to calm down if I am a little squirmish during a visit. He has been nothing but gentle with me and devised a plan to bring my gums back to health without costing me a million dollars. I will continue to be treated by him as long as possible.

Winston also took a pliers type of instrument, grabbed a bridge I have and yanked! It really hurt. It's never been the same since. He told me, "this bridge gotta go, but it's gonna cost ya." After three visits I ran and never returned. At all cost, stay away from this dentist.

He's very thorough and strives for perfection, whether it's his presentation, or your mouth. That is the kind of dentist I've been on the hunt for. No, I don't usually like pain, but I like it when I know I'm in good hands and not getting anything missed or unnecessarily worked on. The office in NY is around the block from Macy's. Unlike downtown, his office is clean, elegant, and quiet. When I turned 26, my insurance expired shortly before my visit. So Dr. Ayoub spent a good 20 minutes explaining what needed to be done, the price he can offer, and how to get back insurance, and happily rescheduled until I got my insurance figured out completely. As a medical student, I spend every day with different doctors for 2 years, and I have never seen a doctor like him personally sit down and figure out costs with the patient. Dr. Ayoub also does all the work. Meaning, nobody touches your teeth besides him. I've always had my teeth cleaned by a dental hygienist, and having the dentist do it this time was a world of a difference. This was my first time having someone clean underneath where the gums meet the teeth.
