Update to original review posted on April 10, 2025 re: complimentary consultation…read more Previously, a review was left expressing concerns about a consultation fee. The office, particularly Dr. Tyska addressed the situation. Consultations are complimentary, and the fee was promptly refunded. Dr. Tyska and his assistant Kristen showed genuine concern and listened to feedback, demonstrating a commitment to patient care. The professionalism and dedication to resolving the issue were impressive. My daughter will soon be getting here braces with Dr. Tyska. This recent experience shows me that patient satisfaction is prioritized and that the office is committed to resolving issues.

So disappointed with this business. Buyer beware when it comes to "complimentary" consultation for…read moreorthodontics. The 2 stars is because we once had a great experience 5 years ago. But recently, I had such an unfortunate interchange with their office manager and staff. I called to book an appointment for my daughter to get a quote on another round of braces (she never wore her retainers and teeth shifted back). The front desk told me there would be a fee for return clients but not for new clients. That didn't make sense to me so I said no thank you. I already received a complimentary consultation elsewhere with a quote. And they did NOT charge me. The front desk told me she would have someone call me back. Sure. I got a call back and told the same thing. Ok. Then I proceeded to cancel my appointment. The office (wish I remembered her name), said she would ask the doctors and call me back (again). Days later I received a call and told there would be no fee. Great. My husband brought my daughter yesterday and sure enough, I am charged $85.00. Called and spoke to the office manager. She handled it very poorly, and kept explaining that they did a lot of "extra's" and that the $85 was actually a great deal. The thing is, I didn't ask for any extra's. I just wanted to know if I would be paying the same price for another round of braces and to see if I could get some kind of discount as a returning patient. This manager made a point to say that there was no record of my previous conservations and therefore, she would not do anything. I have worked for years in private practice - Manhattan - selling elective medical cosmetic procedures. I understand how this works. It is not about the money but about the practice keeping their word and honoring their commitment to the patient. I spoke to them 3x before our actual appointment and they still charged me. I am so disappointed with how they now run their business. Very sad indeed.

I would recommend to any adult or family for braces.

My daughter had so many broken brackets within 24 hours of getting her braces on, that within the month she needed to get her braces completely removed and put on again. Since having her braces replaced she has continued to break brackets on food that is approved for braces, such as pretzels and sandwiches. Every time a bracket breaks we have had to wait one week or more to get an appointment. I paid thousands of dollars for subpar braces and care.

Rarely have to wait more than 5-10minutes. - Exam rooms and equipment appear modern and clean. - Kind/friendly hygienists - One of very few dentist offices in the Northtowns that have both adult and pediatrict dentistry in the same office. Very convenient. Cons: - Hard to find a near-term appointment if you need to reschedule. Yes you can be put on a text wait list, but otherwise, if you have to reschedule due to a conflict, plan for the rescheduled appointment to be 5-6 months away. - They stopped accepting a very popular (and affordable) dental insurance plan. For this reason alone we have started looking for alternative dentists to go to.
