Excellent experience at this dental clinic--now owned & run by the private corporation "The…read moreSmilist," which clinic is located in the TollBrothers' Shipyard complex in Hoboken, where 12th street runs down to the Hoboken waterfront. First, let me start out by saying that my family (back in Seattle) has a bunch of dentists, doctors, and dental hygienists in it...and I've been in and out of dental chairs as dentistry has evolved and become more high tech. I am probably one of the older patients--an attorney who MUST have nice-looking teeth to work. (Nobody wants their attorney to have crooked or rotten-looking teeth--right?) So, a lower veneer popped off when I was flossing. This Smilist Clinic was able to fit me in the very next morning and the dentist--Dr. Jim and her assistant--took a big chunk of their lunch hour to address my needs. I was especially impressed with Dr. Jin for a bunch of reasons: (1) seems very committe to EXCELLENCE in her profession; (2) takes time to clearly explain to the patient (me) what's going on...and why she is making a particular recommendation; (3) totally agreed with me about some aesthetic points...and explained why she agreed. (She wasn't agreeing with me to please me...but to tell me why a particular treatment plan (which has multiple phases since I need implants in the back) was wise and sound. She was GREAT....and honestly I am super picky when it comes to dentists and doctors. I am not that easily and positively impressed. Front desk people were accommodating, friendly, excellent communicators. Most professionals would LOVE to have such smart, and gracious, and tri-lingual folks like Wallid and Stephanie at the front desk of their office. I live very close to this dental clinic in Hoboken--so I don't have to worry about driving their and finding parking. If you are coming from outside of Hoboken, you may have to park in a garage...but I can tell you (as a tax attorney) that kind of expense can usually be deducted as part of your medical expenses... Call for info on parking. But in terms of QUALITY of CARE--I'll let you know...but my impression since Smilist bought the longtime dentist's family practice, Dr. Jin is AAA+++ The Smilist corporation and her patients are lucky to have her... All the assistants were great too... Especially that one who is born and raised in Hoboken....Daniella?? Highly recommend this clinic...

Showed up for a confirmed appointment, only to be turned away without notice. My wife had submitted…read moreID and insurance in advance, but the front desk staff, Stephanie, said the appointment was cancelled. When asked why it wasn't updated on Zocdoc, she claimed they couldn't cancel there because it required too many questions--an excuse to avoid responsibility. We were never properly notified. Stephanie mentioned a voicemail asking us to call back depending on our issue, but she never followed up or said the appointment was cancelled. This is despite us sending them emails and communicating on Zocdoc with required documentation, providing ample channels for communication. We arranged childcare for our infant to attend. Despite the effort we made, Stephanie was unapologetic and dismissive, offering no help or acknowledgment of the disruption. We were never seen by the doctor, so this review does not reflect on him. But if a clinic refuses to communicate through the platform they use and shows no courtesy to patients, they should not be on Zocdoc. Avoid this practice.

TrueCare Dental recommended I have a full-mouth deep cleaning, 5-7 fillings, and invisalign after a different dentist from the one I made my appointment with came into the room. Staff did not let me know I would be seeing a different dentist than the one with whom I made an appointment, which is an ethical breach in and of itself. TrueCare Dental also tried using high-pressure sales tactics on me, including the scam artist dentist challenging me by saying demeaning stuff like, "Well, if you can't afford it..." Fortunately I am not easily pressured. Went to two different dentists after to get second and third opinions, both of whom said I don't need any part of my mouth deep-cleaned (let alone a full mouth deep cleaning) and I do not need invisalign.

I saw her on Monday and was able to get in for x-rays and initial images by Wednesday. Within 48 hours of having the initial work up done I ended up having an emergency root canal. Dr. Lucas failed to inform me that she could see that I had a problem with my front tooth -- you could clearly see it via a shadow in the x-rays. She said because I hadn't complained about the tooth she's didn't ask me about it - not bothering to ask about something visible is poor dental practice. Also, dentist also saw me in person like she had promised to ensure everything was good before the Invisalign trays were ordered. Under no circumstances did my dentist or endodontist advise continuing with Invisalign. Dr. Lucas clearly should have caught this issue but instead was quick to take my money. I was asked to pay $400 for x-rays and was told that I would be reimbursed any amount of money that the insurance paid out. After reaching out to the clinic on three occasions without any response, I can conclude that this office has double dipped, charging me and billing my dental insurance plan. There are so many choices of Invisalign providers and dentists. I would strongly recommend doing your research and possibly looking elsewhere before making an investment to get dental work done with this clinic.

I currently have braces on and I wanted to continue my treatment in Jersey, since the commute to Queens, NY is a little inconvenient for me. Furthermore, I ended up google-ing a dental clinic near my area and this place was the best reviewed and decided to schedule an appointment. Left a voicemail and got a called back the next day. Dr. vinh I think it's who answered the phone and was very polite and answered my questions. Fast forward to my appointment, I was greeted by the doc, filled out the patient form and was taken cared of right away. He recommended that I finish my braces in NY since I'm almost half way and it would be more cost effective to continue what I already have. (He did referred me to someone else if I insist on having a new treatment with my braces) Either way I needed a primary dentistry in the heights for cleaning, cavities and fillings and it seems like I found the right one!. He was attentive, polite and professional. I did not feel rushed at all and that's a big plus! Their office is small and quiet. It has a calmed vibe to it and I like that is not nois-y. Overall i didn't find them expensive. (I need some fillings) and I would recommend them to family and friends.

Also I paid using a credit card and they banged me for 3% on top of the inflated price I had already paid. They told me I needed to come back and have more dental work done. They quoted me a price that was $2,400. And remember, if I paid using a credit card they would charge another 3% on top of that [an additional $72]. They were going to charge me $600 for a mouth guard to wear during my sleep at night. It is a piece of plastic. I got one on Temu for 35 cents. I was hoping to find an affordable dentist's office in my area but this isn't the place. Their dentistry may be exceptional but I didn't pay enough to find out. Neither should you.

My experience was marked by a consistent lack of…read moreprofessionalism, poor communication, and what felt like deliberate lack of communication around costs. I scheduled a root canal consultation and 3D scan over the phone, provided my insurance information, and was asked to arrive 20 minutes early to discuss details. Upon arrival, the front desk staff were visibly distracted -- chatting and laughing among themselves -- and barely acknowledged me. I had to stand up multiple times to ensure I hadn't been forgotten. No one communicated an estimated wait time, and after 40 minutes, someone finally brought me to the back. Dr. Higgins briefly examined my mouth and recommended a 3D scan. I asked about the cost before proceeding -- both he and the assisting nurse failed to answer. After the scan, I was placed in a treatment room where a staff member, Sandy, presented me with a tablet to sign for nearly $2,000 in charges -- without Dr. Higgins having reviewed the scan with me or discussed any treatment plan. When I expressed concern and asked to speak with the doctor, Sandy appeared annoyed but left to retrieve him -- only to return alone and hand me the tablet to sign again. I refused to sign. Dr. Higgins eventually came in. I asked to review the scan together and hear his clinical assessment. He was unable to pull up the scan on the in-room computer where the root canal would've taken place and had to seat me in an outside chair to view it. The actual consultation lasted approximately five minutes. When I asked about next steps -- specifically the cost of a crown, which I learned would be performed by a separate dentist, Dr. Paek -- Sandy initially told me she couldn't provide that figure because it wasn't currently on my dental plan. Only after I pushed back did she produce a total: nearly $4,000. I asked to speak directly with Dr. Paek to discuss the crown before making any decisions. Sandy assured me I could, and had a nurse escort me to the front desk. There, three staff members sat in front of their computers staring at the schedule screen -- no movement, no eye contact, no acknowledgment as I approached and spoke to them. I paid the $385 I was told covered both the consultation and the 3D scan, and was informed the scan would be shared with me digitally. When I asked about speaking with Dr. Paek, I was told he was with a patient. I said I was happy to wait, and one of the front desk assistants -- without looking up -- told me flatly that he would be busy for an hour and a half. I left without having spoken with him. About an hour after leaving, I received an email stating the office had "graciously waived" the $250 3D scan fee -- implying I still owed it. When I returned to clarify, I learned that the $385 is a standard consultation fee alone for Dr Higgins, and the $250 is a separate, additional charge for the scan -- the opposite of what I had been told at checkout and I could've had this cost before any consultation and scan was done, and would've chosen not to do it. The lack of upfront cost transparency, the pressure to sign financial agreements before any clinical discussion had taken place, and the consistently dismissive attitude toward a patient's reasonable questions were deeply concerning. At every touchpoint -- from the front desk, to the treatment room, to checkout -- staff showed little regard for clear communication or basic courtesy. This office does not appear to prioritize patient trust or experience. I do not recommend it.
