    I took my son today for his first dentist visit and even though he's seven and this was the first time he was at the dentist and the girls at the desk were very sweet and kind and nonjudgmental and the dentist was amazing. My Son has sensory issues and that is why it is taking me so long to take him to the dentist but I am so glad that his first experience was a Kiddsmiles in Merrick! Not only is the atmosphere so friendly and fun from the PlayStation games to the cool space theme , the staff and the doctors were so welcoming and sweet. I highly recommend this pediatric dental practice and if you can get in with Dr. Ash she is highly recommended..

    Welcome to a galaxy of clean teeth and healthy gums ! As a child I hated going to the dentist and I vowed that my daughter's experience would be different. Today was my daughter's first visit here after leaving our Pediatric Dentist in Flushing, Dr. Chu. After 7 years with him my private insurance recently changed and my daughter now has Dentaquest under her own insurance. I was very apprehensive about going to a new provider. I searched within the network and did a lot of Yelp research. Ironically, my best friend's son goes to the dentist here and she wrote a 5 star review. Today we met with Dr. Kafi and Kaitie the hygienist. They were very warm, answered all questions and were knowledgeable. What attracted me to this practice was that it is ran by women. Not only that but trusted MOMS. The front desk staff was very professional. I filled out paperwork online and they called to remind me of my appointment the Friday before. As a first time patient I was very pleased. We talked about my concerns and the overall health of her teeth. X-RAYS were taken and her teeth were examined and cleaned. Kaitie educated me on the new flouride treatment varnish. Kids don't have to wait a hour to eat now !!!!!!!! Kids also get to pick a flavor toothpaste during the cleaning. My daughter loved the chocolate ! My daughter loved the cool galaxy design. The Martians and astronaut theme was cute. What I wasn't happy about was the computers with video games that were down and the games that were not working. There was only the choice to play FortNite or Toy Story. My daughter didn't get a chance to play Minecraft and couldn't. What I did like is that they took us right away ! There was no wait. Minus the lack of games, I had a Great experience here. Very comforting and fun for children.

    An absolutely amazing office with tons of stuff for kids of all ages to keep occupied while you wait (which is short!) The employees and drs are so incredibly kind and welcoming! They made my little ones first dentist visit one to remember in the best way possible! Thank you guys so much for all you do!!

    I'm not sure how all the people that wrote reviews had such horrible experiences!! I was recommended by my son's insurance company. Today was my "just turned" 4yro first visit to the dentist (I know I'm so horrible I waited so long) lol I got there 10mins past my appt time. The front desk ladies, were kind and did not have a problem with my lateness. He immediately ran to the Playstation area to play a Toy Story Racer Game. Which allowed me to quickly fill out the forms that was needed. We were called in 3 minutes later. As we approached the back area. My son notice the rocket ship, aliens, huge astronaut, etc. he said "this is so cool" We entered a doubled room that also caught his eye. With a huge flat screen in front of the chair, currently showing Doc Mcstuffins. There was another patient on the other side. But still felt very private. The dental assistant was extremely kind and welcoming. My son became pretty nervous. But she won him over after letting him pick a a cotton candy toothpaste for his cleaning, new spongebob tooth brush, stickers, and a token to get a prize. She got the job done by any means! By the time the Doctor came he was pretty comfortable. And allowed her to do her part. I let him have 5 more mins on the Playstation as I made a 6 months appointment. All in all I'm glad my son had a great and comfortable experience at the Dentist !

    Not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 video game stations for the kids to play. Coffee/Tee, and a lovely waiting area with Televisions. They get filled up fairly quickly; but that gives you a sense of how much patients they have. I love this place, and my son loves it even more! Extremely friendly staff, very caring, and they pay close attention to their patients. Will definitely recommend.

    When I first came to Dr. Steven Levy's office 4 years ago I was an…read more extremely apprehensive patient. I was embarrassed about my teeth and fearful regarding treatment. The dentists I had been to previously were very judgmental and not at all sympathetic to my emotional needs. I had so many bad dental experiences that I had almost given up hope. What first struck me was his kindness, warmth and reassurance. Other dentists I had been to were condescending, but Dr. Levy was uplifting in his approach. He spent a huge amount of time with me and fully answered all my questions and concerns. All my options were explained in detail. No other dentist had ever done that before. He is the first dentist that ever did a thorough oral cancer exam on me. His office staff is wonderful and greets you with a smile. The office is spotless and clean! All latest technology is used. Dr. Levy is the extremely professional, gentle and is a perfectionist. I highly recommend him!

Hes office refers a DDS to perform the temporary crowns , who did great work. I schedule a cleaning and a follow up for the following week. I get a call from Levy who is angry because I did not get implants. He refuses to do the crowns and then terminates me from the practice. You cannot make this up. So unprofessional, As a patient I should know what is or not the course of action. Remember the referral came from Levy's office.

    I've been taking my 3 kids here for years. My eldest son had an appointment for bonding for…read moretomorrow. Earlier in the week, I called to find out if insurance covers it or if I need to pay out of pocket and how much it would be. I was told no problem that they would run it through insurance. Today around 2:30ish, I get a phone call from them. I'm told I have to cancel the appointment or pay out of pocket and I owe the over a thousand dollars and my not 1 but 2 insurances are denying all their claims for the past 2 years. This is the first that I'm hearing about it. If there's a problem, why wait 2 years to mention it? I'm told by the secretary that I need to call Met Life and Delta Dental fix everything. Basically do her job and not get paid. Meanwhile my kids are coming home for school. I call Met Life and speak with a nice lady. She finds the letter in my folder confirming the Delta Dental is the secondary insurance. She says that she will reprocess the claims and even does a conference call with the dentist office. The secretary kept saying at least 3 times "there's no proof that by reprocessing the claims means that they will be paid." I don't see why they wouldn't be paid since we were all insured and she has proof that Met Life is the primary. My eldest son had his wisdom teeth removed as a specialist office with no problems and it was covered. My daughter had braces and that was covered with no problems. I did have to pay a portion, but I didn't have any issues with my insurances not covering it. I asked to speak with the owner about this. I was told she was busy. The only way I could keep tomorrow's appointment would be to pay out of pocket. Now it's not about the money. I'm upset with how I was treated. I had a bomb dropped on my lap and was asked to fix it at a most inconvenient time. I don't need the aggravation. I also think that its unprofessional for the owner to not return my phone call.

Anyone who knows me knows I have a nearly impossible schedule if any plans need to be made. Top of the list of things I almost can never get around to is the dentist! No good dentist has late appointments or weekend appointments. In steps Dr. Mangiaracina. I called late on a Saturday and left a voicemail. Totally not expecting anyone to answer but she herself called me back within 15 mins. I explained how my old dentist no longer accepted my insurance and I have a crazy schedule. What ensued was a great conversation and she promised to work with me. My first visit she did an exam and told me I had a broken tooth & she could do an overlay and save the tooth instead of putting a cap on. I love how she thinks. Then I knew I loved her when she told me she was going to bond another tooth that 3 other dentists insisted that I get root canal & a cap. I refused all 3 because I know my tooth was fine just chipped. She put up with my crazy schedule and accommodated me and got the work done. And I might add with NO NOVOCAIN!!! No pain was involved and I'm so freakin happy!! Wish I found her years ago!! Thanks for an amazing experience Dr. Mangiariacina!! 12-7-2019
