We had a lovely experience with the front office staff, especially with Maria, who was accommodating, kind, and extraordinarily patient. She took care of everything and made a very uncomfortable and stressful situation much easier for my mother in law. My mother in law saw Dr Iachmanovski who was so helpful. She explained things clearly, was very thorough, and took care of the emergency issue with ease. My mother in law felt comfortable and cared for. This wonderful experience has led for my mother in law to now move all her care to this practice going forward, as we are so impressed with how everything was handled with such care and so very professionally. Thank you for everything.

He's every NY'er's match in a person that understands and empathizes with the "uncomfortable" nature that is...."going to the dentist". Maybe that's part of the distraction from your fear of pain.

This is one of those Yelp reviews that you're always reluctant to write, because shining a deserved spotlight just might extend my wait or take away from my "secret"....however, dental care this good is really just wrong to hoard it.

I've been going to Dr. Aziz Ouzidane for years and highly recommend him. Like other reviewers, I…read morevisited his practice based on a (trusted) recommendation. The relationship one has with a doctor/dentist is a big deal, especially if you look at it from the following perceptive: you're willingly giving a stranger permission to put their hands in your mouth and poke around with tools. While the last line might have left you scratching your head (because it's a weird way of looking at the dentist-patient dynamic), I ultimately want to convey that Dr. Aziz Ouzidane is honest (won't push medication or a procedure you don't need), he takes time to educate his patients on dental care that relate to their needs and questions, and really cares about his patients. My teeth (and my conscious) feel great knowing I'm in good hands -- and your teeth will too.

Then I met Dr. Manny and I can't eloquently enough describe what a wonderful Dr. He truly is. Not only am i extremely satisfied with how well he has executed all my dental work so far including a root canal and two crowns, but what i truly admire is his ability to connect as an individual, his kindness, patience, and above all his understand and ability to help you cope with your fear of any procedure. I truly feel comfortable with future procedures and actually look forward to getting everything completed. Moreover, the entire staff is truly professional and make you feel welcome! So yes, 5 stars!

I normally do not leave negative reviews, but I feel people should be aware of my experience with…read morethis dental office. I was told I was receiving zirconia veneers, but instead I was given a much cheaper material. Within only 3 months, one tooth cracked, and the second cracked about 8 months later, and now I am dealing with tooth decay as well. Before this, I only ever had one root canal at 12 years old and never had ongoing issues with my front teeth. On top of that, my insurance was billed for procedures and services that I believe were inaccurate and misleading. While my insurance was active, the office was willing to work with me. The moment my insurance ended, they refused to properly address or fix the work they had done, despite my repeated calls and text messages explaining the situation and the pain and decay I was experiencing. The front desk staff were also consistently rude and dismissive whenever I tried to get help. After months of trying to resolve this directly with the office, I was forced to hire a lawyer. This experience has been extremely stressful, painful, and expensive. I would strongly encourage anyone considering treatment here to ask detailed questions about the materials being used, get everything in writing, and carefully review what is being billed to their insurance.

When in his dental chair, I always feel comfortable because he has always given me exceptional care and that he is genuinely concerned about me as a person. If that were not the case, would I not be his patient for over 3 decades? In fact, I trust him so much that I have recommended others to his dental practice. I would never do this unless I had confidence in him and his talent. In fact, I have a very severe overbite called a malocclusion that Dr. Racioppi explained is a problem that is very challenging to dentists. Fortunately, he is familiar with it because he has experienced this problem in his professional training. For this alone, I am grateful to him and thank him for the person he is and his talents and I'm proud to call him my friend. - My Grandfather, Anthony Coscia

He recommended me to go to another dentist for a second opinion about my front teeth and I did. The other dentist told me that he drilled too deep and hit my nerves.
