Be warned: terrible work, careless, fillings fall out after a few weeks.

Had a great experience getting a routine cleaning and checkup from Dr. Silverman and his excellent staff. Jo performed the cleaning, which was thorough but gentle. My appointment started right on time, and the staff as courteous and professional throughout. I would highly recommend Dr. Silverman's practice. read more

I've been to a myriad of dentists and Dr Silverman and his staff are TOP OF THE LINE! Classy, helpful, gentle, responsive and most importantly, brilliant! They really care and I would recommend everyone to them.....just don't take my appointment spots :/) Best Dentist office in NYC! read more

Keith Silverman is a wonderful dentist. He made me feel incredibly comfortable throughout my cleaning and Invisalign consultation. He was thorough, patient, and answered any questions I had. His staff is also lovely and accommodating. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing dentist and dental office team! I am a brand new patient and found "Dr. Keith" on Yelp. He is just wonderful. Calm, extremely Gental and spent quality time with me on my first first. He even went out of his way to fix dental work that I had just had done at another dentist. I love Dr. Keith and feel grateful to have found him. Going back on Tuesday for a crown. read more

I don't normally write reviews but I felt the desire to write one for their services because it was such a great experience overall....I went for the first time yesterday because I was looking for a new local dentist and had found Dr. Silverman just through a google search and I'm so happy I went. I was feeling a bit self conscious about going to the dentist and the current state of my teeth after not having been in awhile but Dr. Silverman and his team could not have been more understanding and kind...much better experience then past dentists I've had. Overall, great level of care and concern. Would highly recommend! read more

I had a really great experience visiting Dr. Silverman's office. Not only is his office staff so incredibly kind and pleasant, but Dr. Silverman himself is also quite attentive and considerate. The team truly knows how to make you feel welcome, but - more importantly, they do a great job of taking care of my teeth. :D Finding a good dentist should be important to everyone - after all, your teeth last forever (even after you die!). I look forward to semiannual visit with the team. read more

I had gone to another dentist and had a large bill handed to me at the end of the visit due to a suggested root canal. Without dental insurance it was going to be quite a lot of money out of pocket, so looking for a second opinion I came to Keith Silverman. We talked it through and the general idea was I had a cavity close to the root, and while a root canal was likely he didn't know for sure if I needed it. So we decided to fill the cavity, and then wait and see if I ended up needing the root canal. As of now I still haven't had it. The visit here saved me a lot of money, but more importantly, it offered me a chance to really sit and talk things through with the dentist. He was easily in a position to simply tell me to get the root canal, but instead gave me options. I will definitely be returning for all my future dental needs. Everyone on staff was extremely helpful and kind, and Keith is a dentist I know I can trust. I should also note that because the cavity filling was really close to the root of the tooth, it was also a very challenging procedure, and Keith pulled it off perfectly. Trustworthy and skilled. read more

Dr. Silverman and his staff are very professional, friendly and out-going. But most important, they know what they are doing. Just had a cleaning and my teeth looked spotless. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

It may seem redundant to keep updating my initial review with the same 5-star rating. Dr. Silverman's staff is so wondeful, though, that they deserve the accolades. I'm glad that I've found a practice that makes an intrinsically unpleasant experience a pleasant one. read more

This dentist is okay if you know EXACTLY what you need (for example, you have a filling and you need him to fill that exact same filling). I came here because of a chip in my front tooth that needed fixing immediately. He did this almost perfectly. I came back for a routine cleanup and was told that I had 5+ cavities that needed filling. That's more fillings than I have had total in my entire life of routine checkups with the dentist. Happened to go to my old ortho, who seemed confused that I needed any fillings. I wanted a second opinion from my old dentist (out of state) but ran out of time and thought it was okay to get at least the one filling that had fallen out filled. Ended up with four fillings, with the advice that if I had not done it, it would have turned into a root canal, and that I needed the other cavities filled ASAP. The work that he DID do has been hurting for the past week; my teeth did not hurt before the work was done. Freaked out, sent X-rays and pictures to my old dentist, FLEW (by airplane) to his office to get it re-checked out. The fillings that have already happened are what they are; some things are not in my control. I went to him because I had an emergency and the yelp reviews were good, I went back again because I thought I was imagining my feelings the first time, but the second and third time turned out much worse. Just keep this in mind when you go. I assume he is a really superb dentist for all the ones who have given him good ratings and do not doubt the work that he does is great for those individuals. read more

Dr. Silverman is a kind and compassionate doctor. Would highly reccomend to anyone who is not crazy about going to the dentist.

Best dentist ever. First time I've ever felt like actually seeing a dentist every 6 months. The whole staff is wonderful. Joanne is a joy. Cleanings never hurt. Had a tiny cavity filled and was done in 10 minutes. Best best best. I come all the way from Brooklyn for the folks at Dr. Silverman's office! read more

What a WONDERFUL experience!(-- I know that sounds odd for a dental visit ( I can't say I ever said that about a dental visit!). Dr Keith and his staff were professional, welcoming, caring and gentle! Don't walk but RUN to his office!!! read more

Ok. I don't take time to write reviews but I HAVE to for Dr. Silverman because he's the best dentist I've ever had. I've been going to a dentist downtown for years but wanted a change. I was used to going in for check ups and cleanings but was never really happy with my teeth. Dr Silverman completely transformed my teeth and for the first time in years I can smile with pride. My teeth are BEAUTIFUL and it's because of his suggestions and skill. Now when I'm happy, other people know it because I'm not hiding my smile anymore. THANK YOU!! read more

I've been seeing doctor silverman since I was 9, I don't trust anyone else with my teeth. My children will be seeing him as well this man and his staff are amazing, never been in pain after a root canal or any dental procedures. I've heard horror stories from other people and I always recommend them to see doctor Silverman read more

I cannot say enough about how wonderful this office was with my son and I yesterday. After having a nightmarish experience at a reputable teaching college in the city and walking out (almost running out) of the appointment, I found myself standing on the corner, with my 6 year old in tooth pain and rattled from his awful experience. Desperate, I googled - great pediatric dentist UWS - and Dr. Silverman's office popped up with many stars. Skeptically, I called and asked what they charged for a child's crown. Lisa, the incredible office manager, detecting the urgency in my voice, said - why don't you come up and let us have a look at your son. Even more reticent after having many lousy experiences that begin like this, I explained I didn't want to waste anyone's time. Lisa took the time to talk me off the ledge and convince me that the doctor is incredible at what he does and very ethical and fair. We'd figure it out. Convinced, I headed to the office and it was the best 'go with my gut' experience I've had in ages. This office went over and above the call of duty for my son and I. Turned out my son didn't even need the crown (nor the FIVE fillings) they were going to impose on him/us at the world renown teaching facility. Craziness. Regarding payment, we did "figure it out", very fairly. Recap - Lisa was welcoming and genuinely caring - she even called today to follow up and make sure my son was out of pain (which he is & even received a boost of esteem from the doc being so complimentary of his bravery). And Dr. Silverman not only a master at his craft, but wonderfully charming and put my son and I at such ease. I highly recommend this office and look forward to my own check up in the very near future. They've won over our entire family for sure. read more

They overcharged almost $500. I had small fillings there. I thought just filling may not cost too much money but they charged a lot. I asked front desk lady if the price was correct or not but she said it was the way it was. After I came back from the dentist, I talked with other people, and realized that even if it was expensive place, it could not be that much. I sent e-mail to them to ask about money but they ignored. I called them but it didn't help. So, I had to go back to their office to get invoice. I found several strange things on the document. Obviously, they made multiple mistakes, and overcharged almost $500. While the front desk lady was calculating again, she just did it on the paper... and did not look very accurate or professional. I have to tell you that you have to be careful to go to this dentist. I was wondering how many people were overcharged without noticing. In addition, even without a mistake, this place is more expensive than other dentist. When I checked invoice, I noticed that they tried to charge as much as they could. The doctor noticed that I was arguing with front desk lady about mistake but it seemed that he didn't care what was going on. I wouldn't trust that kind of dentist. read more

The Dr. has a very nice staff. People answering the phone are good, he has a good chair-side manner, handles situations (like me,) has fair prices for NYC, no wait time, I rate this guy pretty high. I had an extraction and he does them with local anesthesia instead of knocking you out and ruining your day. 5 Stars out of 5. read more

I have to put another review up, it's been a whole week since Dr. Silverman saved me! I had a really bad infection that caused me to visit the emergency room while away on vacation, As soon as I emailed his office (it was a Sunday so I figured nobody would be in the office) and I received a response right away! Lisa (front desk) told me to get to their office first thing in the morning---keep in mind the next day was Columbus Day so I thought once again they would be closed---I got to their office the very next day in tears because of the severe pain. Dr. Silverman immediately got to work, I had 3 teeth pulled and felt not one ounce of pain!!! not one! he even had a fan brought into the room because I was sweating during the procedure (lol) . When I got home I didn't even have to take any of the pain meds he prescribed I simply took 2 Aleve and went to sleep. During the week I felt slight pressure but that's to be expected I had 3 teeth pulled at once!!!! I know people who have one tooth pulled and still experience the pain days and weeks after!---not me! :-) So it's been a week, I'm back to eating regular meals, ice chips and even was able to have a margarita! I feel so alive! His staff is the absolute best! I love you Dr. Silverman xoxoxoxoxo read more

Keith F Silverman, DMD - one week later still smiling!!!! thank you Dr. Silverman and the Silverman team! - General Dentistry Near Me - New York, New York

Let's face it Yelpers, I don't know anyone that wakes up and says "yay I have a dentist appointment today!!!". With that said if you are in need of care you would not go wrong with Keith (Dr. Silverman). I have been going there 5 years; his warm attitude, positive energy and more importantly his eye for detail all yielded in me having the healthiest pair of choppers in my life! His staff is super accommodating, love the classical music to help me relax! 5 out of 5...SEE YOU IN 6 MONTHS! read more

This is the first time in my life I walked out of a dentists office with a smile on my face. Every single positive review he deserves 10 times over. I was scared about my teeth, I was scared about the cost, I was scared he might not be the best dentist in the world, but in my 58 years on this planet, I have never met a better one. :-) Everyone who works for him as well, is completely top notch; you really feel taken care of. I wish I had known about Dr. Silverman years ago, it would have saved me a pain in the tooth. Ha ha ha. :-) read more

For most of my life just the thought of going to the dentist was enough to send me into an anxiety attack. Then one of my co-workers recommended Dr. Silverman and my life has changed! I first visited him after my old dentist had totally screwed up replacing an old filling of mine. After much pain and months of back and forth with that old dentist, I finally went to Dr. Silverman who immediately identified the problem and fixed it easily. That was 2 years ago and I have been going to him ever since. Dr. Silverman is extremely kind and gentle. He always tells you exactly what he is doing which is nice. The entire staff is wonderful, friendly and helpful. They know that I am a neurotic mess when it comes to having dental appointments and they accommodate my crazy as though it were no big thing. I always recommend Dr. Silverman to all of my friends because he and his staff are the BEST! read more

Friendly staff, clean office, and personal care - can't beat it. The receptionist is the best!

Dr. Silverman was one of the best dentists I have seen. I came in with a chipped tooth that I got at a restaurant that was causing me pain. It wasn't that bad, but given a previous experience that ended in a root canal, I wanted to be proactive. The receptionist was able to squeeze me in for an emergency appointment the next day. Dr. Silverman examined my tooth, found a small chip, and applied a small bonding. He explained exactly what happened to my tooth, explained my options, and helped me decide on doing minimal treatment (it was nice to not get up-sold to a more costly/involved procedure). His manner was fantastic which helped ease my worries. Dr. Silverman will be my go to dentist from now on. read more

Excellent Dentist. Very knowledgeable and friendly dentist. He explains everything in full detail on his procedures and the kind of care you need in a very friendly manner that's easily understood. From the get-go, Dr Silverman and his staff made me feel very welcome. I was impressed with facilites and my treatment. On the UWS, I'm not sure there is a better option; friendly, efficient and very skillful dentist make for a tranquil and pleasant experience. read more

I've been here a couple of times. Dr. Silverman is the nicest guy, and I have to say he and his staff really take the time to clean my teeth properly. He must be nice, because the cleanings are the gentlest I have ever had - no exaggeration. My last dentist told me to come in for cleanings every 4 months (something about me building up tartar quickly), but Dr. Silverman told me every 6-8 months is fine, so he's actually saving me money. read more

Exceptional customer service and pleasant environment. Impeccable deep cleaning, I am glad to have found Dr. Silverman!

I cannot speak more highly about Dr. Silverman and the staff in his office. Even before my first appointment, my anxiety levels were lowered just in talking on the phone with Lisa to schedule my appointment. From the second you walk in, Dr. Silverman and his staff cater the experience to YOU. If it helps for you to know what is going on, Dr. Silverman will explain step by step what he is doing. If it help for you to know NOTHING, Dr. Silverman will do that, too. He and his staff are all there in order to make a healthier you. I have had bad experiences with dentists in the past, and was very skeptical about the experience I would have. I have never understood when peers of mine didn't mind going to the dentist. I now understand what it means to have a pleasant dental experience, even if it means getting cavities filled. The staff work tirelessly to make sure I am comfortable and as stress-free as possible. THANK YOU Dr. Silverman and everyone in the office for helping me get on track to a healthier me! read more

Dr. Silverman is thorough, knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone in the office was so nice! I wouldn't go anywhere else for dental care- it's nice to find a dentist who spends time with his patients and cares! read more

Best dentist in the city!!! Dr. Silverman is so thorough and caring and the office staff is extremely pleasant. I will never go to another dentist again...prices also cannot be beat. My search for a great dentist on the UWS is over! read more

I went to Dr. Silverman for a cleaning. His staff is friendly and professional and it is a low pressure environment. I've felt in the past that some dentists are trigger happy to get you to do this or that, the cynical part of me guesses it is because they want to rake in fees. Dr. Silverman was very honest about what did and did not need to be done and when. I appreciate the honest and friendly service. read more

I went to Dr. Silverman based on Yelp reviews, and the fact that he is extremely close to where I live. Excellent/friendly staff and Dr. Silverman is caring and thorough, with a comforting bedside manner. For Manhattan, prices were pretty good. Will be back in six months! read more

great dentist, he is very funny , and keep you calm. He answers all your questions and is really down to earth. I live that he dies cosmetic dentistry and the normal check ups and maintenance as well. his office staff is really nice too, and they make you feel very welcome! read more

Great visit with Dr. Keith Silverman and the staff yesterday ... my teeth are shiny like an ivory tusk and I find the entire staff so very kind and savvy at taking care of my (now) pearly whites. Joanna could very well be the best teeth cleaner in the land and I only wish I could have her on daily speed dial to take on the world each morning. Dr. S is a real mensch's mensch and has the gift of diagnosing a problem and finding a quick and painless solution. He's a compassionate guy and I don't mind going to the dentist like I did in the old days. Bravissimo! read more

Just moved to NYC and needed a new, local dentist. I called and made an appt. for myself and my daughter. I received an email and filled out all the registration forms about a week before the appt. When I arrived, the staff was nice and I did not have to wait at all. I was handed registration forms to fill out which I told the receptionist I had already filled out and emailed back a week ago. She looked and found them and told me I was all set. I had a brief exam by the doctor who was already making some suggestions on cosmetic options that were completely unnecessary. I then had X-rays and a cleaning. The cleaning was probably the worst cleaning I ever had. The equipment was old and the water pick sprayed everywhere. I never had a cleaning where my whole face got wet. When I was finished, to my surprise, I was informed they did not take my insurance! Shouldn't I have been informed of this prior to anything being done? The receptionist told me they would give me a "deal" of $200 for the cleaning! I did pay it but am now very upset that I did. I always paid a $5 copay for my cleanings. What is done is done but want to warn others of my stupid mistake of going here. read more

Wonderful experience at Dr. Silverman's practice today! I needed to get a procedure done ASAP since I am leaving town soon. I emailed them in the morning and they were able to squeeze me in a few hours later. Everybody at the practice is professional and kind. Would definitely recommend Dr. Silverman to everybody! read more

Dr. Silverman is amazing - I've recommended him to all of my friends and anyone who needs a dentist in New York! I needed a procedure ASAP on a Sunday, and Dr. Silverman must have been able to sense my desperation, because he met me at his office right away that afternoon and helped me without a second thought. Now, every time I go to his office, I know it's going to be a pleasant, positive experience. Dr. Silverman and his staff are all very careful and gentle -- I've never experienced any discomfort -- and they are the nicest people, too. (Plus, what's better than walking out of your dentist's office and seeing Central Park?) I couldn't recommend them more! read more

Great staff, super efficient and friendly. Very reasonable too. I highly recommend.

As always, Dr. Silverman made going to the dentist a pleasant experience. He is a very skilled dentist and he has a terrific chair-side manner. In addition, his staff is very professional and friendly. Thanks, Dr. Keith! read more
