    I highly recommend Kiddsmiles Manhasset!! I am so happy with them. I have been taking my kids here…read morefor a few years now. I absolutely love the atmosphere of this office. Everyone just works so well together. They become best friends with the kids the moment they call them in to start their treatment. They make them feel so comfortable, and as a mother,that is super important to me! If my kids are happy, mama is very happy! Thank you Kiddsmiles Manhasset! Keep smiling!

    A+++: My children are 9 and 11 and they've been a patient at the KIDDSMILES in Manhasset since they…read morewere about 1 year old. I am a very involved parent (nice way of saying I can be a real b*****) and I have NEVER had a bad experience. Reflecting on my 10 years of experience with this location, has there been a billing issue? Sure, mistakes happen. Have they given me an attitude about it? NO, they look into the problem and correct it. Do I sometimes come with 1,001 questions about my kids teeth? Yes, and they've always answered them. Have I ever been late for an appointment? Yes, and on those few times they've always tried to accommodate. BUT, I would call to tell them I'd be running late and let's be honest - the owner is running a business and just because our lives are running a little hectic doesn't me the whole world stops for us. You being late cuts into someone else's time. What if it was your time someone else was cutting into. My children are not perfect. My son has vasovagal syncope which made having a cavity filled real fun (NOT), needed braces, and doesn't brush well. My daughter is a mouth breather (doing damage to her teeth), has needed a tongue tie procedure, and has already had a cavity filling. At every NEW dental/personal experience in my children's lives, KIDDSMILES has been right there supporting them every step of the way- making them feel safe and loved. They've accommodated us whenever possible when asking for the family room (both your children seem at the same time or sometimes one at a time but together in the same room). Have they ever run behind? Yes, what business that deals with emergencies hasn't??? - name one and I'd call you a liar! I read an article somewhere that shared the owner's dental experience as a child and I said to myself, "Yes! Me too! I also had horrible dental experiences growing up." Choosing KIDDSMILES is the best choice I made with my children's dental care- securing GOOD childhood dental memories for years to come! A+++

    After waiting a month for my 1.5 year old daughters appt we were excited and worried for her first…read moretime at the dentist with Dr. Kathy Kim. Let me tell you, Saturday's is always super packed and the earliest appt date we got was a month later for a 12:15pm Saturday appt. The workers are very friendly, reception was awesome and my daughter loved the wooden car you sit in while waiting. The wait time wasn't too bad to be seen and it was a good thing I filled out my first time patient forms already by printing it out from their website. There were a few more pages that wasn't online but it was on their high tech iPad and it was quick. We were escorted to one of the private rooms with the dental chair and Frozen was playing but it was on top facing down for anyone sitting in the chair to watch. Since my daughter was a toddler and only needed a cleaning we didn't get to watch the movie. We waited about 5 minutes for the dentist to actually come and see us which I wished was a little sooner because my daughter was getting restless and didn't want to stay on my lap on the dentist chair like they told us to do. The cleaning itself was quick and painless. My daughter was crying for a minute from not knowing what was going on but Dr. Kathy Kim did a great job calming her down with her low tone of voice and being gentle but efficient and quick. She told us exactly what we needed to know and asked if we had anymore questions but she answered everything already. Great pointers! Btw the parking lot was packed when we drove by but found plenty of street parking right outside. Way better than parking in the lot waiting for a spot. I really recommend this place and can't wait for the next appt in 6 months.

The staff there are wonderful, from the front desk to the dental assistants. There are even TVs mounted to the ceiling that are hooked up to their computers, allowing them to play a variety of kids movies so that the little ones are distracted with Lego Batman or Minions rather than the dentist picking are their teeth. The office also sees adults, so if you are nervous about getting a treatment maybe they can put on a movie for you too ^_~ .

    Truly, if I could give zero stars I would. This is mainly for their office staff/customer…read moreservice/booking experience. We had taken one of our children here years ago, under a previous insurance plan--no issues, covered by insurance as expected. The doctor was fine and competent, though I didn't think she was especially gentle or patient with such a young toddler at her first ever dental visit in a kids-only practice. Fast forward to now, new insurance plan, add another kid into the mix. I literally spoke with this office 3-4 times to check whether our new dental plan was accepted as in-network, what we could expect to pay for the visit, and to confirm date, time, location, etc. I spoke with two separate people from the practice. I confirmed with them that our plan WAS IN-NETWORK with this office, and that some or all of the basic visits would be covered under that accepted plan. So we get there day of--my oldest is extremely stressed out and scared about the visit, I fill out the basic paperwork, and literally AS WE ARE ABOUT TO WALK INTO THE EXAM ROOM we're told our plan is: Not accepted Not in-network with them Won't be covered at any percentage They then confidently ask if we'd like to just pay for the visits out of pocket, which would be nearly $300 combined. Why the hell would I have dental coverage for my family if I wanted to pay $300 every time they need an appointment? The front office then disputes whether I confirmed these details or spoke to them at all, suggesting I may have called the wrong number altogether. Then how could you possibly have the 2 scheduled appointments on your calendar for my kids??? Unreal. I will never go back to this practice with my family. It's a shame, because we previously liked their office location and my kids enjoyed their many toys and games. But unfortunately they're either so inept and poorly run they can't properly check whether a dental plan is accepted prior to you stepping foot with everyone into their practice, or they are just disingenuous and running a scheme to bring you in, then tell you you're out of network to try and force you to pay a ridiculous amount out of pocket for what should be a routine and 100% covered exam and cleaning.

    We have been coming here for years. The office is very professional. The wait could be a bit on…read moreweekends but we love love the doctors here. It's a gem in Long Island for sure

    I was initially very hopeful about this dental office after seeing so many positive reviews,…read moreespecially because I was looking for a good dentist for my child. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. During my second visit for a procedure, I was asked to pay more than $100 for a copay. I contacted my insurance company and was told that I should not have had a copay for the service. When I explained this to the front desk, instead of helping me resolve the issue, they canceled my child's appointment right in front of me and told me, in a very aggressive manner, that I could leave. My child was in pain, and as a parent, my priority was simply getting the care my child needed. I decided to take my child to another dentist for a second opinion. The new dentist requested the X-rays from this office. Despite making several requests, I am still waiting to receive them. I am sharing my experience because choosing a dentist for your child is an important decision. Positive reviews were one of the main reasons I chose this office, but unfortunately, my personal experience was very different. I hope other parents consider this experience before deciding where to take their children, particularly when their child is already in pain and needs care.

    It is such a great environment as soon as you walk in. The waiting room is well maintained has…read moregames, toys and books. The staff is so friendly every visit. My daughter looks forward to her Dentist appointments.

It also has what appears to be the top of the line, latest, and newest technology. It makes for easier, more efficient visits. It makes all other dental offices I've ever visited look old, cramped, dirty, and outdated. Both our girls got their braces with Doctor Chan-Ly, and we couldn't be happier. Plus, they're located in the bayside commons shopping strip, which usually means you have plenty of parking.

    Front Desk: Helpful, Cheerful and Amazing…read more Environment: Clean, bright and has a great view from the 2ndfloor. Parking was free and ample even on a Saturday. Ease of Appointment: Called for an initial inquiry and was led step by step to finalize an appointment. Although I was ready to pay out of pocket, Rahema was able to check into my insurance and found out there was going to be a discount/copay from my insurance. Paperwork: Straightforward and no nonsense. Follow-up- Immediate. A phone call by the doctor was made a couple hours after the tooth extraction to check in on the patient. ----------------- The actual experience------- Upon arrival, paperwork was filled out and the doctor was able to see my daughter immediately for a tooth extraction. Bedside manner of the doctor was excellent. Transition of the procedure was smooth. Additional paperwork for maintenance was given. A cute tooth holder was given to my daughter as well as additional supplies. Later that evening, the doctor called to check in to see how she was doing. The entire experience was beyond my expectations. I need to thank Rahema, the staff and the doctor for this smooth experience. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
