It is rare, today, to find a dentist who actually cares deeply about his patients.

My last visit was the definitive last visit. I set an appointment for 1 pm, got there 15-20 minutes early and still didn't get seen by anyone until after 3 pm. I get it, you have to wait for doctors and dentists, but over 2 hours is ridiculous. They don't even bother to tell apologize or seem apathetic about it. Not to mention, it's just doesn't seem like a great work environment. While I was waiting, one of the employees working the counter was visibly mad and appeared to walk out on the job. The other employees are hit or miss as far as friendliness goes. A simple hello or how are you today goes a long way, but some of their employees choose to dive right into your mouth without even verifying you're the person they should be seeing. The last straw was when a crown they put in fell out about 2 months later while I was eating. I returned thinking they would fix it since it was their work and the crown should be secure even while eating, but they told me my insurance was up for the year and they couldn't do anything about it. Stay away from this place. Mediocre work at best and a clear lack of care for their patients.

While this may not be the most 5-star dentist office around, they are affordable and were able to…read moreget me into an emergency appointment the day I called. I had experienced intense pain in a wisdom tooth that turned out to be infected, I called them and they were able to get me in right away. When I got there around 4:30-5, I had to wait around an hour but I was still grateful that they got me in and got me the prescription that helped make the infection go away. A few weeks later, i returned and had the wisdom teeth surgery. When it comes to wisdom teeth extraction, there is one surgeon who comes once a month on sundays. I tried this, but that day they were really backed up and I ended up leaving since my surgery would have been over 2 hours late. There is another surgeon who comes every Thursday so I rescheduled with him. The surgery went really smoothly, and so far everything has been healing fine. I found it to be very quick and efficient and I had no problems with the anesthesia. The receptionists here are very friendly and helpful, one of them even lent me his portable charger once when my phone was about to die so I definitely appreciated the great service by the staff. Cons: I wish they gave a little more information about how to care for yourself after the surgery. They gave me a sheet of paper with some pointers but I do wish they gave more detailed after-care instructions.

Update: This office only wanted to contact me once I disputed the charges since I paid out of…read morepocket. I was able to speak with a Practice Manager on 12/15/25 named Gladys who was half-asleep during the phone call and totally clueless as to what occurred at this dental office on 12/10/25. The local Hospital I went to called the Attending Dentist the same evening, to inquire what occurred at their office during my services/procedure. No no one from Canarsie Family Dentistry called me to follow-up after I went to the ER to find out if I was okay. I was in so much pain, agony, and discomfort for days!!!!! This office only wanted to call me when the dispute was closed for the $2,000 bill. I paid the local Hospital out-of-pocket (they did not take my insurance) for their mess and racked up almost $400 in out of pocket expenses and was radiated at least 3-4 times within a 2-week period. Now I have extremely terrible fear and trauma of going to the Dentist and going through further tooth extractions, which I ended up getting the botched Root Canal tooth removed. I went to a Specialist office on 12/17 and she said the X-Ray's showed my tooth was badly shattered and fractured by these incompetent people at Canarsie Family Dentistry. The Specialist could not understand why I would of been told to complete a Root Canal process when the tooth was already damaged. I also had to pay for the Specialist fees as well. I went through so much within the past 2 to almost 3 weeks. Such a horrible experience to go through. I'm completely traumatized. P.S. the local Hospital also stated there were tooth fragments left behind from the prior tooth extraction done at Canarsie Family Dentistry and materials/remnants of the partial/botched Root Canal, they had to remove/clean up. When I read the summary notes of each visit from the Hospital these fools over exposed me to some kind of clinical bleaching solution which caused a low reaction infection. I barely received a good night's rest since this incidents occurred. I missed days/week(s) of work and was running around all over the City to get the issue with my eye, face, and teeth resolved. This Dental Office does not care about the well-being of their patients. I was told I needed a re-fill on a filling and they didn't even do it in-office on 12/10/25; they only care about the high-dollar services and procedures they like to push on you. I was in the dental chair for almost 3 hours you would think these people are experts they way they like to send the Finaicial Hustler to collect payments and given unclinical informed consent to which the dentist didn't even do nor explain the risks or complications of the procedures. I'm very thankful to be alive, my God!
