I spent money I didn't need to spend and also learned that Lisa Handler herself is not a Periodontist even though that is her category here on Yelp. She has a Periodontist in her office which means you have to make a separate appointment to come back and meet with him which defeats the whole purpose. I didn't want to miss too much time from work. And I guess she is okay but to be honest I wouldn't know because I only spoke to her for all of 2 minutes. She barely looked at my teeth as her dental hygienist did all the work and up selling. Well, shame on me for not doing more research and shame on me for not walking out. Fellow yelpers, I've learned a valuable lesson.....do not believe OLD positive reviews.

I love my sweets and my teeth pay the price for it. So I needed to find a dentist who would show my…read moreteeth some tough love. I came to Lisa Handler through my insurance, which is Aetna Dental and she is conveniently located near my office. Her office is the DDS Group and the majority of the people that are patients are people that work in the area, so they gear their office hours to provide times during lunchtime, before and after work. The office is very clean and they run on a timely fashion. They have several other dentists and specialists that work there so if you need work that overlaps, they have someone right in the office. My dentist, Lisa Handler, is really nice, which is good except that I want to be able to hate my dentist but I can't because she really makes it hard to hate her. She is extremely patient and took her time with me on several occasions (and that is a treat considering I came from a dental office that was run more like a sweat shop factory). Her room is extremely clean and they place music while she works on you. Her assistants are always very nice. They never made me feel bad about my condition or the work I had to have done. Ms. Handler also has a lot of experience and is virtually pain free. The only pain that I experience is when I got my shot of Novocaine (which is minor) and I never had any problems post procedure (again a nice relief considering I got an infection from the previous dentist I went to). Although I have insurance, the insurance does not cover everything and I feel that she made a good effort to try and make the charges fair. The checkout woman who take your payment are really nice and they are very efficient with telling you what your insurance covers and what it does not. I would highly recommend Lisa Handler for dental work.

He needs to deal with his dysfunctional intake process. As for POC #BLM they don't welcome us here. They definitely have a vetting process. And I am not letting them get away with the excuses because they waited until I traveled for the visit to inforce the idea that I have to pay for services when I came for services that are cosmetic and not covered by insurance anyway. A 3 week wait was a waste of time.

The front desk…read morepeople always have a smile for everyone, and my average wait time is never more than 10 minutes, even when I'm early. I should begin this review by saying that I've had extensive work done here, and unfortunately a great deal of different procedures at other dentists and periodontists in NYC and Florida. Dr. Moskowitz is a dream dentist. He's as upbeat as he can be, yet he never sugarcoats the situation. He will answer endless questions, and never seems frustrated or irritated. I don't like dentists, and I am kind of a wuss when it comes to pain, but he is unfailingly gentle, and will stop and administer more anesthetic in the middle of a procedure if the patient wants it. I cannot say enough about my experience with him, and with his assistant, who also went to dental school, Dora. They are an amazing team, and I trust them completely. Why? I read some previous reviews about unnecessary work ordered, but I had all different options and price points discussed with me, and wasn't pushed toward the most expensive option. My father made the same decision to have a permanent bridge put in, and his dentist (in Florida) was not as good as Advanced Dental Care - he gets food caught under it and it irritates his gums. My bridge fits so well that I feel like it's nearly my natural teeth. They didn't rush to cement it in, but used temporary paste, until I was sure that the fit was absolutely correct. So why not 5 stars? They are EXPENSIVE. I have dental insurance, and with the insurance that they take, I'm still paying tens of thousands of dollars out of my own pocket. I know that there are less expensive dentists out there, but I've decided that the thoroughness and expertise that I have experienced here are worth the money. After all, it is your mouth, and I don't know about you, but I like eating. They make sure that they accommodate my schedule, and after hearing my dad complain about the dental work that he had done, I think it is ABSOLUTELY worth the cost.

tl;dr: this place takes advantage of economically vulnerable people and the administration is an…read moreabsolute mess. Extremely long wait after appointment time to be seen, and the administration is horribly managed. This place is terrible. I went to get my wisdom teeth removed. The consultation was standard and everything went fine. They verified that I was qualified for a loan and repayment plan but then I received a letter in the mail after my surgery saying that I did not qualify for the extended repayment plan despite being assured before my surgery that I was. They had me sign up for a plan that caused me financial stress under false pretenses. They called to reschedule my surgery twice which caused confusion with my job because I had to request time off for the surgery and then change it, twice. When I arrived for my surgery, I had to wait an hour and half to be seen by the surgeon whose assistant did not follow her instructions to x ray me while I waited, causing more of a delay. The guy before me had been waiting for two hours. The surgery itself went fine. They have very capable doctors. But so do A LOT of other dental offices. I received IV sedation and it was very fast. The big issue with this place is the management and administration. It is VERY poorly managed. They sent my scripts to the wrong pharmacy (TWICE!) and it took a few hours after my surgery to get them. Also, I requested an itemized receipt for my surgery both before and after my procedure. Was initially told hey can't give that to me until after the procedure. Then on 10/12 when I followed up I was told it would take a day to get to me. It's 10/17 and I still don't have my itemized receipt and they have not called me back. This is what I wonder: 1. I asked for an itemized receipt before my surgery and they said that they could not provide this until after the surgery because that's when they would be able to calculate the totals. 2. If that's the case why did they give me a solid price (the wording was, verbatim "the surgery will cost $2400". It was a definitive statement and not a quote) and have me sign up for a loan and repayment plan based on this amount if they can't actually calculate the totals until after the procedure? 3. Why are they unable to supply an itemized receipt when requested? Why don't they already have this information calculated and on file? Why won't they return my calls about this? Why are they being so shady about this? I am concerned that this place takes advantage of those who need dental work and who may be economically vulnerable, in a lot of pain, and who may be desperate to get this work done. I sincerely regret using Brooklyn Dental and besides my follow up, will never see them again.
