This was my first time at Brooklyn Heights Oral Surgery and I was paying them a visit to address a…read morelong overdue tooth extraction based on having an unfixable tooth that was initially believed to be in need of a root canal. I was being patient with the original scheduling from a different provider since it was not painful at the time. Then it was and in force so something needed to be done. Found my insurance was taken by BHOS and made an appointment only days after calling. They are a convenient ride via Mass Transit R, A, 4, 5, 2, and 3 and since this is a bustling area I do not recommend that you drive there. Take an Uber home if you must but don't drive down here. Once some paperwork was filled out I was in the chair and greeted by Sophia the dental assistant and Doctor Ramsa who was cordial and friendly about the process. He did some quick x-rays to see what we were dealing with and advised that the standard numbing would likely suffice as opposed to being put under. Once that stuff did its trick it was time for this painful tooth to be gone and I don't think it even took five minutes for the doctor to get it out. Now with such a removal they recommend an implant but right now I am not there financially for such a process so that will have to wait. On the upside this removal required no additional work like stitches and they just pack in the gauze to help the area clot as it heals. One is advised to take it easy for the remainder of the day and only eat a warm soup or have some juice a few hours later. Nothing that really involves chewing and its also pretty good to adopt a vow of silence for a few hours as well. Overall this was a positive visit and while I noticed some complaints about the front desk reception area, I was not treated badly at all by this part of the office. Perhaps they were approached with attitude and justifiably received some back but again it wasn't my experience. Closing up I must stress that if you find yourself waiting endlessly on an appointment from your provider for something on the critical side find another covered provider to get it done.

A wise woman once said to me, "We must sometimes take time away from gastronomic pursuits to ensure…read moreour teeth are clean to enjoy them." Dear reader, you are correct. This wise woman who said this was me from the future talking to me now. For convenience of location and the smiling faces of the employees on their listing, I went with Parkside Dental. And pictures do not lie.* Everyone was professional and friendly. The receptionist was patient with me over the phone while I tried to open the gate. It was simple - just push. And upon arrival, I was checked in immediately to a clean, quiet, air-conditioned office. The friendliness of the team extended to the back of house as well. Once I got to the exam chair, there was more patience and friendly banter - among the staff members and with me. The dentist himself (forgive me for not remembering any names - I went a few weeks ago) was all smiles and patched the tooth I chipped a while back when I bit too hard on a mango slice and my tooth hit the fork. How will people know I love mango slices if I don't have the chipped tooth to prove it? I may have to put a mango emoji in my Instagram bio instead. And you know what? Turns out that's okay with me if it means I have more confidence in my smile. And I do. My teeth were whiter after the cleaning, too. I kept running my tongue over my teeth to revel in the way it glided over everything so smoothly. I was out in a pretty decent amount of time considering the work done, and felt really good about the place. They sent me home with an Oral B toothbrush (I may switch brands now) and a travel-size toothpaste. Delicious in its own way, like a free product should be. I rate this visit five tooth emojis! And I'll be back. *I stand by my statement. Pictures don't lie, but sometimes people do, and then they augment photographs

Today, I walked in feeling desperate after coming from a dentist in Manhattan, and Marleny immediately took action to help me. I did not have an appointment, yet her empathy, excellent observation skills, and attention to detail allowed her to recognize the urgency of my situation and assist me without hesitation. Her professional demeanor, friendly and calm personality, and trustworthy attitude immediately made me feel comfortable and reassured during a very stressful moment. What impressed me even more was watching how she handled the department. She was able to assist multiple patients, manage different responsibilities, answer phones, work between two computers, and communicate with patients in both English and Spanish, all while remaining patient, attentive, and professional. I also witnessed her assisting patients who arrived by wheelchair and ambulance, and she treated everyone with the same level of kindness, dignity, patience, and compassion. Marleny truly demonstrated outstanding customer service, professionalism, leadership, and genuine care for the patients she serves. Her ability to remain calm, organized, observant, and compassionate in such a busy environment is something that deserves recognition. I left feeling grateful that I encountered someone who genuinely cared about helping me. Marleny made me feel heard, respected, and cared for when I needed it most. I sincerely hope her dedication and exceptional service are recognized. Employees like Marleny are a true asset to The Brooklyn Hospital Center. Thank you, Marleny, for going above and beyond. Your kindness, professionalism, and compassion made a meaningful difference in my experience.

When I returned she of course remembered me, and her practice has grown into a beautiful space, with advanced tools and methods. Dr. Ifill's expertise and care for both her patients and the community are indicative of the consummate professional and representative of her patients that's she's always been; she wants us all to be healthy and happy, and that's what her care is about. Her work is more than dentistry: Dr. Ifill is a philanthropist, an instructor and mentor for new physicians entering the field, and a model of excellence as a Black woman business owner. What's she's accomplished couldn't have been easy, yet after all these years, she's still keeping tireless hours in her office, with patients and on the job. She's just as personable and friendly as she's always been, patient with any questions and concerns. I appreciate the time taken at Garden Dental to educate me in how to best care for my teeth; they make recommendations of procedures and products that I accept or don't as I or anybody can so choose, and the goodie bags with extra floss, toothbrush and paste are great too. From the chats during consults, the lovely front desk staff who also know your name, and make me feel at home with every visit, Garden Dental makes something that could be a chore more akin to visiting with a neighbor for coffee.

I've…read moreonly had Dr. Izabella Belenkiy, but her caring demeanor is what makes me keep coming back here, even though I hate dentists. My mouth is SUPER-SENSITIVE, and I had some pretty deep cavities. but whenever you tell her to stop, she will. One of my cavities was so deep that the first time I went in, they couldn't do the procedure because I wouldn't allow her to get into the tooth there was so much sensitivity. She aborted that procedure (left me with a temporary filling), and the next time, she said "OK, we're going to try this differently this time since you're so sensitive" and the procedure was completed without pain of any kind during or after. Today, she started a root canal, which will be completed next time. Again, there was some extreme sensitivity, but this time she was like "I'm going to give you a few minutes, that's the only way we're going to get this done". Whatever she did before stepping out of the room for about 10 minutes helped immensely! Afterwards, she asked if there was any pain while she tried some things, when I said no, she got right to work. Again, aside from the initial thinking she was trying to kill me, no pain during or after. :) What got me started on this whole course of treatment was a dental emergency - I had SEVERE pain in a tooth (turned out that a wisdom tooth needed to be extracted, and she needed to send me elsewhere to have that done). She saw me, a patient that she had never seen before, on an hour's notice and referred me to an oral surgeon based on the X-rays that she took. Great customer service! I've been going back every week or two since for various procedures.
