Going to the dentist is something most people don't look forward to, but we usually trust that it's necessary and helpful. Dentists are supposed to protect our teeth, prevent problems, and keep our smiles healthy. However, one experience I had completely changed the way I think about dental care. What should have been a routine visit turned into a situation that left me in pain, confused, and questioning whether I could trust professionals meant to help me. It started as a normal appointment. I went in expecting a cleaning and maybe a quick check for cavities. The office looked clean and professional, and everything seemed fine at first. The dentist was confident and moved quickly, barely explaining what he was doing. At the time, I didn't think much of it--I assumed he knew best. When he said I needed work done, I agreed without asking many questions. During the procedure, things didn't feel right. There was more discomfort than I expected, and I remember feeling uneasy about how rushed everything seemed. Instead of taking time to make sure I was okay, the dentist continued without much communication. I tried to ignore the feeling and trust that it would be over soon. After the appointment, the real problems began. My teeth were extremely sensitive, and eating became difficult. What had once been normal--drinking cold water or biting into food--now caused sharp pain. I went back to the dentist, hoping for an explanation or a solution, but I didn't get clear answers. It felt like my concerns weren't being taken seriously. Over time, the condition of my teeth seemed worse than before I even went in. I began to feel frustrated and regretful. I wondered if I should have asked more questions or gotten a second opinion. That experience taught me something important: just because someone is a professional doesn't mean you shouldn't speak up for yourself. This situation also showed me how important communication is in healthcare. Patients should understand what is happening to them, why it's being done, and what to expect afterward. Without that, it's easy to feel powerless. I learned that it's okay to ask questions, take time to think about procedures, and even seek another opinion if something doesn't feel right. In the end, the experience wasn't just about damaged teeth--it was about trust. Losing trust in someone responsible for your health is difficult, especially when you rely on them. But it also helped me grow more aware and confident in speaking up for myself. Now, I know that my voice matters, especially when it comes to my own well-being. read more

This is the best McDonald's in the area. The fries are always hot and perfectly salted. The food is always hot.

Possibly the worst, McDonald's I have ever been in several countries. Standing online re-downloading the app with the big advertisement in front of us for a 246 deal which is still playing and this a well that that just stopped three minutes ago I've been standing in there for 10 minutes basically I just walked out The very very thick kid who was trying to take the orders and couldn't explain what a drink was or anything else just wow read more

The service here was absolutely indescribable It was so bad and they made my friends and I extremely uncomfortable and the food took forever. (30+ minutes for a drink and fries) They had a super bad atmosphere and a worker who will not be named, seemed to have social anxiety and would freak out when I asked him when the order would be ready. For the other workers there they would speak in a different language while laughing and pointing at us after asking when the order is ready I found this all extremely disrespectful and disappointing. They need to do better read more

Cheeseburger with small fries and medium vanilla milkshake. Good meal, service was ok. Has dine in area but I used drive thru.

Accepted an order they could not deliver, and took my money. I ordered on the McDonald's app, and they accepted the order, only for them to say that they are unable to make it. They did not even inform me until I called the restaurant. Why you'd accept an order you can't complete is dumbfounding to me. Really shows what type of people they hire. Will make sure to never visit this location. read more

Avoid the drive through at all costs - 50/50 chance that your order will be wrong. Multiple times I have gone through the drive through and have come home to find whole items missing or incorrect (eg missing items, happy meal toys, incorrect french fry sizes, etc.) I have tried to contact corporate about these issues but their generic response is to contact the store directly which does nothing. If you have to come here - make sure to go inside to order and double check your order. read more

The drive thru woman had an attitude when she made a mistake. Told me "that's why i repeat the order" after she got the order wrong... really not that hard to get it right the first time read more

Cheese goes on the burger. Not on the bottom bun, unmelted. It's a cheeseburger not a cheese bun. read more

I went to this mcdonald's because I had an uber eats order and when i arrived i gave the code and she was very rude about it. She said there was no orders from uber when there clearly was the order i was picking up right on the counter. I DO NOT recommend this Mcdonald's due to my personal experience. read more

This place is pretty basic. Very average across the board as far as McDonald's go. Management and good quality is average. Which isn't bad. This is going to be the most bland review I have ever written. No frills. No play area. No soda fountain. Not even TV's It is what it is Decent food. For a great price read more

See all

Did curbside pickup. order came out in about 4 minutes after placing it. Drive thru was a bit long but they did a good job clearing it. For the first time, my mcdonalds order was not messed up. This is one you want to consider read more

Each and every experience here is good. Never once was anything missing( fork, knife, ketchup, etc) the management MUST empower individuality with staff completing their work. Effectively. Yes its fast food but each season I treat myself I'm happy. Thank you read more

McDonald's - a breakfast of pancakes, eggs, and a fork - Fast Food Near Me - Syosset, New York

Service Bad. Drove through the drive thru today 12/26/2023 with a fresh code ready to get a deal on my breakfast. The girl that was on the microphone said that my code was invalid when I just had a new one open. And as I was trying to work it out with her she started having an attitude with me and arguing back and forth. She was getting me so upset I just had to drive away and get no breakfast. I didn't get McDonald's 15 minutes ago and I didn't have time to wait 15 minutes to get a new code. Either the app needs to be updated or service needs to get better. I came in around 10 to 10:15am to the 571 Jericho Tpke , Syosset location if anyone wants to find out who this lady was giving an attitude at the window. read more

Can't take an order correctly almost everytime I order a double quarter pounder one of the patties is missing they can't remember drinks and they also give you the wrong receipts read more

The drive thru women is awesome but who ever puts the order together never gets it right even so simple as butter and jelly or ketchup with the order is always a question read more

This is a "drive thru" heavy McDonalds which is nice because the inside is always EMPTY and you can eat in peace! The staff here is always friendly -- even when you can tell it's someone's "first day on the job". No complaints except for the HIDEOUS "artwork" hanging on the walls inside. The art looks like it was discarded by a dentists office in 1983. read more

The food is ok nothing special and all the mcdonalds are the same as far as that goes the workers are always friendly and helpful and always get the food out pretty quickly. if you are looking for quick easy not super healthy food mcdonalds is great. i like there fries better than most of there competitors. i feel mcdonalds is also a pretty good bargain, price wise. read more

Drive through meal was inedible when arrived home two blocks away. Cold, greasy meat and soggy buns. Fries cold, broken in small pieces and also greasy. Worse part is that e-mail to management (e-mail address on receipt) was totally ignored. Did not return food since roads were icy-certainly not worth the return trip. Certainly enough fast food establishments in area to never return. read more

Babysitting my little cousin he wanted a kids meal brought him here he enjoyed His 4 piece chicken McNuggets and fries with the new Szechuan sauce they have it came with a cute little peter rabbit football toy this location is very clean would recommend coming here for anyone who likes mcdonalds read more

Do you like a peaceful and happy experience? Then stay away from here. The lines from the drive thru can be backed up like crazy and not at peak times. They have this way of being out of coffee and not in the morning. They have forgotten me waiting for my food while parked in the drive thru spots. I've gotten a hot fudge sundae half full. I have had to leave the counter area because it took too long and I had to go back to work. I have gone to the drive thru window and been told cash only. But the icing on the cake was when the drive thru employee gave me my food and his hands had multiple warts on them. No gloves... just obvious warts. I threw the food out. I will never return. Warts are contagious. Where is the manager? Why doesn't anyone care? If you want fast food, you can go to Wendy's down the street. read more

the workers are not kind. they made anti semitic comments towards me and my friends due to our low status car. since our car was not up to par, they refused to serve us. -allison read more

Always an issue with my order. Either missing items, no sauce (after asking me if I wanted sauce?), I ask for a item cooked a certain way, maybe no dressing or well done nuggets, and it's often ignored. The kid at the window is pretty rude, just sticks out his hand for your card or money. no hello, no thank you. If there was another location near by I would definitely not go to this one anymore. I went tonight and after asking for my nuggets well done, it was ignored and if anything under cooked...threw away my entire meal. Now Rose was very nice on the phone and offered to comp my meal next time. I just think they got kids running the window who don't care and it's too much of a hassle for them to press a few extra buttons. read more

This is the worst Place on the planet. Fast Food? Waited 18 minutes for 1 Kids Meal order... Next to me a construction guy had to leave without his order because his lunch break was over and he was afraid to lose his job. My kid will be late for his class but what can we do. They also get your order wrong half the time (usually "forgetting" something, maybe hoping you wouldn't notice). I'm not coming back here again. My son takes a class next door but I rather spend the 15 minutes driving him to eat at the great McDonalds on 106/107 then giving my money to this place. I would give them Zero Stars if that was an option read more

Unfortunately this is the closest fast food to my house. The first 2 times they got my order wrong in the drive through, it was frustrating. The next few were angering. Now I just expect it. Running at more than one third of my orders are wrong. The food is fine, the staff are completely incompetent. read more

Lol I work here and the conditions are pretty good. The store was renovated in August as well. Would recommend hash browns and fries.

waited 10 mins in the drive thru this morning, i see employees walking out. so i asked the young lady " excuse me are you closed?" & she responded " ehh kind of not really" & kept walking. what kind of nonsense is that!!!!! read more

Came here to grab some breakfast after getting blood work done next door at Quest. The staff were all perfectly nice and my food came out piping hot. The screens were all broken inside when I was there but it seemed to be controlled mayhem even with the early morning rush. Keep up the good work! read more

I've never felt compelled to write a review about McDonalds, good or bad. But this location got me to put virtual pen to paper. We arrived a little after normal lunchtime after an Indian wedding ceremony--which means hungry, tired and cranky kids. This was punctuated by our 3 year old going into a full on hungry/tired meltdown over ketchup of all things. The staff at the McDonalds were extraordinarily patient and polite during the tantrum. The team member who took our order (manager?) even came over to check on us twice to make sure we were ok and if needed anything else. The extra attention was definitely appreciated by some flustered parents. As far as the food-- it was McDonalds. Pretty much standard faire which can be a good or bad thing depending on your point of view.. read more

Cool staff and indoor dining! Comfy surroundings for hanging. Just tried the new spicy nuggets, not bad.

I know this is a McDonalds but omg people. The only reason this place is in business is due to lack of competition. No one says hello, please or thank you. Orders are consistently made incorrect and take way too long to fulfill. For a newly renovated location this is just a shame. Get it together! read more

My kids always like to order the happy meal with a toy. This week is wild life stuffed animals. My daughter had her heart set to get the Arctic fox on our way there. My son wanted the tiger. Now, I know you should not pick and chose but it never hurts to ask. It turns out they only had the turtle and red panda. The cashier (Kevin I believe his name was) saw my daughter's disappointed face. He then offered to go to the basement to check because he remembered seeing it there. He even told his manager he was going to check. So while we waited for our food to be ready, off he went. He came back really fast, not only with the Arctic fox but also the tiger for my son!! Now that's going above and beyond customer service! He went out of his way when he could've just say that's all we have. I've been to many McDonald's where the cashiers say "No that's all we have" with attitudes to add. I'm not done... So I ordered a chicken sandwich. When the cashier (a different guy now) was about to put it on my tray, he felt the sandwich was not warm. He took it back to the back and asked them to make another warm sandwich to order. The manager then comes over and said "Why don't you and your kids sit and they can start eating first. We'll bring the sandwich to you. We don't want your kids to be hungry." Oh wow... How nice and courteous was that! It was amazing to have this kind of service at McDonald's of all places! To top it all off.... They give free ice cream for kids under 12!! So my kids were definitely happy. Oh and this McDonald's was so clean. Great service and workers here! read more

The food was OK. The burger was dripping with grease. The cashier wasn't wearing gloves.

My local and preferred McDonald's! Quick service and never disappoints! Counters, tables, bathrooms, and general settings are clean.

I was starving when I saw the big M sign in front of me, and I decided to give it a go. I was actually surprised with how much they've improved over the years. The place was clean, the burger was good and the fries are crispy as ever. read more

I grew up with this McDonalds. After playing at the park, my pals and I would get a Big Mac with extra Mac sauce. Those the were the days. Anyway, the drive-thru is pretty long can hold lots of cars. That's pretty cool. Fries are usually tasty but they never have ice cream when i want it (usually after 10pm) read more

I stopped by this McDonalds to try the new Pineapple/Mango Smoothie. I love it. Nothing particular about this Mcdonald's that stands out different from any other McDonald's. read more

Carol is the most amazing mcdonalds worker. She knows the value of good customer service. she deserves a raise.

This is my favorite McDonald's to go to. Delicious and great food every time I go. I love the food. There's a great staff and great selection of food. read more
