I have been through so many dentist until my bff recommended Dr. Schwabe. Let's just start with the fact that you don't have to wait long. If your appointment is scheduled for 9:30, you will be seen at 9:30 or a few mins after. No more waiting for hours :-) seriously he has his schedule set up to ensure that he provides you with the optimal and individual care you deserve. Second, the atmosphere is calm and cool. His staff are absolutely pleasant. Dr. Schwabe and his team are honest, patient, and most importantly they make you feel welcomed and comfortable. Third, he takes his time cleaning your teeth...no rush. I personally enjoy the singing while he does your X-ray and then the conversation he tries to have with you while he is cleaning your teeth or fixing your fill-ins. He makes me feel comfortable and relaxed which is probably the main reason I always return to him. (I'm famous with going to one dentist and never returning again) Fourth, I absolutely appreciate the way he meets with you in his office after he is done working on your teeth. Dr. Schwabe is patient and answers all your questions without rushing you. I'm done with the search because I found the BEST dentist ever. I highly recommend Dr. Schwabe!

He is also very personable, willing to take the time to explain procedures and answer questions. His staff is always friendly and helpful. My most recent visit was for a cankar sore on my tongue, which is extremely painful. He has an amazing laser wound healing treatment that healed my tongue in only two visits over two days. It is truly a miracle. I highly recommend Dr. Horowitz and his staff.

It was not going to be easy to remove all the pieces that it had broken into.    Much to my surprise, Dr. Horowitz used a new minimal surgery technique on me. I couldn't believe how well it turned out. There was minimal bleeding, no pain, no discomfort, no swelling to speak of, and a peaceful night of sleep.     I said to my wife the next morning, "What surgery?" I was so happy with the way this surgery worked out. It was almost too good to be true. And by the way, I'm 89 years old and dentistry has certainly changed dramatically for the better thru the years. ~ Dick Kline

I was an…read moreextremely reluctant patient because I had braces for 5 years growing up, wore my retainers religiously and my teeth still shifted back to a their crowded and crooked state. After 6 years of my dentist convincing me I needed to do something to avoid dental issues down the road I went to see Dr. Arbitman and I'm so glad I did. He is one of the kindest and most caring doctors I've ever met and he takes the time to lay out all of your options for treatment (there were 3 in my case) and answer all of your questions. He managed my expectations on what was possible with Invisalign before I committed to anything, and delivered way beyond expectations. My teeth look and feel so much better and my whole face looks more balanced. Dr. Arbitman and his team (especially Laura who is so funny and sweet) truly care about their patients and giving them the best possible result. My treatment wrapped up within the timeline Dr. Arbitman estimated, even with the infinite challenges of the pandemic. I visited the Forest Hills office once in July and it's the cleanest place I've been since COVID started-the office is immaculate and they're going above and beyond to keep patients safe. I cannot recommend Dr. Arbitman any more highly for anyone considering orthodontic treatment.

The entire experience, from then until now, has been a full 100% the entire time. The office staff is kind, friendly, supportive & understanding. The hygienists have been so welcoming, gentle & informative. And Dr. Frank! Well, just the very best there is. He has such an incredible way with children and helps parents to understand "what's next". It's just the best pediatric dental experience in my opinion that I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. (And we don't live around the corner & we don't mind driving for great dentistry for kids - and parents).

After the procedure was complete, he came to speak to our family on how the operation was and to make sure we were comfortable. He is overall amazing and I will recommend him and his team to all my family and friends.

My examination was truly humiliating and I hope to God no woman ever suffers the type of indignity That I had the misfortune to experience. This arrogant jerk did not even bother to read my charts or the tests that I had taken a week earlier at Weill Cornell imaging. All he wanted to do was get home quickly because there was a freak snowstorm and I was his last patient. When I tried to describe my issue, and you don't go to a colorectal surgeon for a hangnail, He just blew me off and said " take down your pants! ". I was laying sideways on a hard examination table with my pants and tight around my knees. No gown. No sheet. No nothing!
