I just switched to Dr. Johnson because my old dentist left my insurance network. And I'm delighted I did. Not that my old dentist was bad per se, but Dr. Johnson and his staff and general set-up are so much better! There was no wait at all. The front office staff were friendly and gave me the forms to fill out. I was a little early, and the dental hygienist Monica came to fetch me. She went through the x-rays and then did the cleaning in a very steady, reassuring, and skilled way. I know my teeth are a bit jagged, like rocks on a rough Maine coastline. But Monica was totally up to the challenge. She was calm and methodical, and did it perfectly. We went over my x-rays as well, with her explaining issues in a detailed and helpful manner. Then the doctor came in. He was very friendly and relaxed, discussing the issues with my teeth. No up-selling, no pressure. In fact I brought up a couple of issues where he could have easily up-sold some extra services (like a slightly chipped tooth), but he just waved his hand and said, "Nah, it's okay, we can observe it for a few more months". By far the best dentist visit I've ever had. read more

The bedside manner with Dr. Johnson is unmatched. And believe me, I am a nervous wreck when it comes to dental surgery. He didn't rush not one bit, happily answered any and all questions I had before after and even during. He spoke to me calmly, did everything possible to make me not a nervous wreck lol. I left very happy!! Will be referring him to anyone and everyone that is able to see him, he doesn't accept my type of insurance which is almost hard to find anybody to accept it at this current moment, so I did even choose to see him out of pocket if that shows how wonderful he is! read more

5 Dr. Johnson made me feel at ease during the entire procedure of getting decay removed and a new crown put in place, on a back molar. I felt almost completely relaxed as he work. He controlled my pain quite well, and he made me feel as comfortable as possible during this long procedure. He showed me a clear picture of the decayed tooth so I am confident that the procedure needed to be done. Dr. Johnson also showed me an image of his fine restoration work. The crown drapes down over the tooth and fits very securely. It is already starting to feel very comfortable and natural just hours after Dr. Johnson put it in. I am very pleased! read more

Best dental care I've ever received. Lorena does the most thorough cleanings and Dr. Johnson has state-of-the-art facilities and has always taken me in when I've needed something done. Highly recommend. read more

I love Dr Johnson. He is very knowledgeable and I can see he is passionate about his profession. Also he is experienced and my teeth look so good. I am very relieved I found this dentist. read more

I had such an amazing experience. I needed to see Dr. Johnson for an urgent fix and he was able to do it! I am so appreciative to him and his amazing assistant. She was so sweet and kept my mind off of everything happening. I am so thankful for this office. read more

I don't understand why they have a website to schedule an appointment for new patients yet it doesn't book the appointment. I schedule an appointment for November a couple of weeks ago and I called 10/13 to confirm the appointment and they tell me the appointment was not made yet. I told them I printed the appointment confirmation and I got the text message for the appointment and they told me that the website makes the appointment but it doesn't book it on their system. My question is why have the website if it doesn't book in your system? I told her that the insurance card has Dr Steven Johnson as the assigned Dentist for more than a year but she said that didn't matter. So my appointment was made online but not on their system so my appointment was not made. She was even rude about it. What a horrible service. read more

Steven B Johnson, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - Manhattan, New York

Excellent and courteous doctor, and so is his staff. Would certainly recommend his services to other without any hesitation.

Best Dentist ever. So caring! I first met him when I cold called his office before my board exams in 2013 when I cracked my tooth and he bonded it that day for free! It also says something when his office staff haven't "turned over" and they have been the same people for a decade. It says something about the practice ! read more

I have been a patient of Dr Johnson for over 7 years and overall he has been a great dentist. I have also seeing Lorena; his hygienist and she is so thorough, gentle and by far gives the best dental cleanings. I always leave very happy with their work. I have a reason to smile to have found such great and dedicated staff in one office. read more

Had an appointment at Dr. Johnson's for a crown . The office is modern and clean. I needed a crown which Dr. Johnson was able to complete in one visit for me. I am always a little nervous when going to the dentist but I was so comfortable at this dental visit. He numbed my mouth where the work was being done and I did not feel a thing. He was able to produce a crown in one visit using the latest technology of a Cerec machine. He tried it in and it was perfect! I didn't even have any pain afterwards after the Novocain wore off! I highly recommend Dr. Johnson. He's a very caring and excellent dentist! read more

Groupon. Came here before vacation. Had a good experience. X-rays and cleaning by dental hygienist. She was friendly and informative. Will be coming back for a dreaded scaling/ cleaning. Felt comfortable. Only negative was the water splashing very messy. A wet face while having a cleaning is very annoying. read more

See all

I have been a patient of Dr. Johnson's for close to 30 years!!! I have continued to be a patient over all these years due to the personal, comfortable, highly skilled, and well staffed practice! I love the fact that it's a smaller practice and look forward to going to my 6 month cleanings. Dr Johnson has done extensive work on my teeth due to an auto accident and more!!! I have always been beyond pleased with the results!!! Both my daughters had Dr Johnson as their dentist throughout their growing up and he took on my 80 year mom when I moved her to Grand Junction! He has always treated us with expertise, interest and kindness!!! His hygienists and assistants are highly qualified, thorough and friendly!!! Like family now I give this practice a 5 read more

Got a Groupon for a dental cleaning. I hate admitting this as Groupons for dental work remind me of being 22 and not having decent insurance but I recently found myself in the same spot again as a grad student. Having been on the groupon dental train before I had very low expectations - my previous experience left my teeth clean but at the price of serious upselling via trolling about my perfectly fine teeth followed up by nonstop emails for years that managed to work it's way around my spam filters. So I expected the same. Their office was clean and had an efficient check in process. I had my teeth cleaned by a nice hygienist (although another reviewer mentioned that there seemed to be a lot of spraying involved, which there was!) and got my x rays and mouth checked out by the good doc. I braced myself to be told that I had some made up condition or issue - but nope! "Great teeth! See you next year!" Went on my way and checked out with no hidden fees or issues, just smiles. And guess what? Best sales pitch ever. I hope that he's my regular dentist for years to come and for others to go too! read more

Great staff, great dentist and endodonist. Always on time. Clean and modern. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson.

I've been a patient since 2002 and find this to be a no-nonsense practice. I switched dentists briefly when insurance changed and was pushed by other dentist into redoing many fillings and disappointing quality work. Switched back to Dr J when he took my insurance again and I prefer his approach of not doing dental work unless there is a problem. The hygienists are always pleasant and I have never had to wait more than 5 min at my appointment. I don't always see him during my visits but unless there's a problem I'm really just there for a cleaning and that doesn't bother me. Have seen a partner dentist in this practice too and have been pleased. Happy to be back with Dr. Johnson... read more

I haven been going to Dr. Johnson for 4 years and he's always been very attentive. The staff is great and there's normally no wait to my appointment. Great location so highly recommend! read more

Clean office, Doctor was quick and thorough. they fit me in and got me out faster than I thought which was great. Lorraina is wonderful!

First time there,very professional,took exrays i,explained my situation dr johnson did not come right out and say it has to be done this way.said he was going to look at exrays to see what my options were and let me know on next visit of my choises. read more

Dr Johnson is the best dentist and is so friendly. My family has been going to him for decades and now I do. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

wonderful dental care in a pleasant environment with friendly, informed staff members who explain everything they do and give you excellent advice about taking the best possible care of your teeth. read more

I have been here twice. First time the dental hygienist was great and that's why I returned this time. Not sure what happened after covid but she was no longer there and on my visit this week a new dental hygienist did my scaling. I thought she would break my teeth, it was so terrifying, but she was nice and stopped when I asked her to. Then she showed me how to floss and went deep under my gum, to the middle of my both front teeth with the floss. I did not know that was possible and it hurt a lot. Then she told me that I MUST floss deep into and under the gums, always. I thought that was odd so I googled it after my visit and everywhere on any website it says that one should never do that. My gum she had touched still hurts right now and I hope it will not become a bigger issue over the next few days. Then Dr. Johnson stopped by for like 20 seconds. I had some questions I wanted to ask, but I did not because he seemed busy and in a rush, and he said everything looked perfect as he stepped out of the room. Everything happened so fast and I really wasn't feeling comfortable with what the dental hygienist had done. I sat in the room for a minute while I was debating if I should try to get a few minutes with him to ask the questions I had or just leave. I understand he was busy that day but I didn't feel comfortable being in or leaving his office. Also the receptionist had her mask down while checking me in and when I was walking out, which was also concerning. I called them today to make a new appointment because my gum that was flossed by the dental hygienist hurt even more than yesterday and the receptionist hung up the phone while I was explaining that I wish to come in again due to this reason. At first I thought it was hung up by mistake so I called again and before I could say anything, she said "I am not talking to you, you can speak to Dr. Johnson" and hung up again and didn't pick up when I tried calling again. It was so bizarre how defensive and aggressive that receptionist was, I wonder if that is how she was told to handle any situation similar to mine. I think it's standard that you want to see the doctor or dentist again for a follow up when something feels wrong from the previous visit, and it is messed up how they are handling the situation. I am sure a lot of the visits go smoothly with Dr. Johnson's office like my first one, but I am writing to share my experience when things did not go smoothly. No patient or person should be treated like this and I will not be returning. read more

Both doctor's office and doctor were very efficient and made a very enjoyable experience overall. Forms were emailed to save time and appointment had calendar and couple of text reminders. Went with xray copies and consultation was finished in minutes and the rest was very smooth. Honest and pragmatic opinions. Remember, sometimes the best solutions is to keep things simple and not have so much work done. Thank you! read more

The only reason I went to this dentist for several years is because of my insurance and laziness -- and my hygienist was good. I've never had a doctor who seemed less interested in me. He would barely glance at my teeth and was usually quite rude about it. Good riddance to this guy. read more

Helpful and friendly staff and not in a cliche way. Was able to see doctors in a timely manner giving me enough time to get back into work. Convenient location helps when making appointments to step away from work. The doctors provided expert advice and alerted me to changes I may need to make to continue maintaining my dental health. read more

My appointment for a check up and cleaning with Dr. Steven B. Johnson DDS was very disappointing. Once the cleaning was over, I didn't get a check up because the Dr. was too busy pushing Invisalign on me. He told me that my teeth were so crooked that I'd feel at home in England! If he had any expertise other than general dentistry, he'd know that I am not a candidate for Invisalign. He is rude and I would give him zero stars if I could. read more

I don't know what the other two reviewers are talking about. They sound like Pre-Madonnas to me. I've been seeing Dr. Johnson and his other doctors for years and would not change a thing. He is always using the latest technology and will always make sure you are given the best care. As for bed side manner, he tells you if you have horrible teeth whether you like it or not. He gives it to you straight! If you have sh** teeth, he's going to tell you, and not try to fluff it up like the other two reviewers seem to care a lot about. My guess is they have pretty sh***y teeth. If that isn't enough to convince you, he even gave P. Diddy an emergency check-up, I was lucky enough to be there the one time he was there! Got his autograph and everything. I don't know if I can thank Dr. J enough. On top of all his kind and hard work and giving me the exact smile I've always wanted, he has often given free cleanings and cavity fillings. Do yourself a favor and completely ignore the other two reviews. NYC is full of horrible people and my guess is that they fit the bill. Take my word for it--you won't regret it. read more

So I've been coming here for about 5 years now. I love, Lorina, the hygienist she is awesome. If she isn't there is don't want a cleaning from no one else. Dr. Johnson is cool too, funny guy. The only minor setback is that he takes quite long for my check up. If he was more on time this office would get 5 stars. read more

I went to this dentist for my first, and only root canal. Dr. Johnson performed the root canal, then I returned for the crown about a week later. For this service, not only was Dr. Johnson paid by my insurance company, but I also paid an additional $700 Out-of-pocket. Approxamitely a year and a half later, I was shocked to discover I had a crack in my tooth and went to the nearest dentist to me that was listed in my insurance. I was shocked when I was told that the "cracked tooth" was actually the crown that Dr. Johnson had put in approxamitely a year and a half earlier. Refer any credible dentistry-related website, and they will indicate the MINIMUM length a crown should last is anywhere from 5-15 years, with the longest being UP TO 30 YEARS. So of course it would make sense that, after only a year and a half, Dr. Johnson would correct his work - which is all I wanted him to do. I told the dentist I saw at the time to simply temporarily fill the cracked crown and I would simply return to Dr. Johnson to correct his work. I was ultimately shocked by my experience. The assistant first came in and - after I explained the situation - said that Dr. Johnson only assures his work for TWO YEARS (in light of what I already illustrated as far as how long a crown should last - this obviously spoke volumes to me about Dr, Johnson's work, and his apparent confidence - or lack of confidence- in his work). The attendant to tell me however - that I was covered for a cleaning (how nice of her). Dr. Johnson then came in, obviously knew why I was their, and I explained again anyway. He then reiterated what his assistant said. Feigning a regretful tone, he said "ohhh, unfortunately the work is only guaranteed for 2 years." Shocked, I paused to absorb, and then said, "So you're telling me I need to pay full price for this AGAIN - a year and a half, two years after you did the work?" Without hesitation, he responded "Yes." Then, again without hesitation (and obviously without shame) he asked when I wanted to make the appointment for me to return for him to fix his broken orginal work. More laughably, he actually sounded surprised, and even a bit agitated, when I told him I wouldn't be making an appointment. If I had an auto-mechanic do a $1500 job for me, and it fell apart a year and a half later, they'd likely correct the work, or maybe correct it at a discount. But someone who is supposed to be a HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL, completely without shame or hesitation- treats it as an opportunity for a MONEY-GRAB. I'm not sure what was worse in this experience, the absolutely poor quality of the work in doing something that should have lasted 5-10 years minimum and fell apart after a year and a half, the insult to my intelligence in being given some pathetic excuse on why the work failed instead of taking reposnsibility for the poor work as a man and correcting it (which is all I asked for), or the fact that, not only did Dr. Johnson not own responsibility for the bad work and correct it, not only did he not say how would at least do it at a discount, or his cost, etc., but as mentioned, had the complete, disgraceful lack of shame to want to charge me FULL PRICE all over again. I ultimately had to go out and try to find another competent dentist to fix Dr. Johnson's bad work. Overall, one of the worst health-care experiences I have ever had. read more

I originally found Dr. Johnson on Groupon and had a wonderful experience when I went in for a cleaning. Dr. Johnson was incredibly helpful and thorough and I would recommend him to anyone after my appointment! But what really sets Dr. Johnson apart is how he helped my friend Christian. I recommended Christian go to Dr. Johnson after he broke his front teeth in an accident. Dr. Johnson has gone above and beyond in giving him the best care! He has PERSONALLY followed up on multiple occasions during the process and provided amazing advice and medical care. We appreciate Dr. Johnson so much for everything he has done! Weather for a cleaning or more serious dental work, I highly recommend using Dr. Johnson! read more

After a few bad experiences over the last couple years I was referred by boss here. Just finished up a root canal with Dr. Elzbieta and it couldn't have gone any smooth across the board. Very accommodating and experienced staff ! read more

Such a great experience - efficient yet thorough. i have a cavity (darn!), and they were able to take a picture and show me exactly where it is, right from my chair! so cool! the staff were very friendly and skilled! read more

Appointments are always prompt and the staff is friendly and they take the time to explain your options and the work being performed.

I went on a Groupon for a cleaning and x ray. I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone was super friendly and professional. I didn't feel like he was trying to sell me on anything I didn't need, and was very honest. He also was a nice guy to talk to and nobody likes going to the dentist. The staff was great as well... read more

I hate the dentist!! These guys made it easy. Dr Johnson explained benefits and the risks that come with the procedure; my hygienist was super thorough and gentle, X-rays were so easy :) totally worth it!! read more

I have to agree with AF.: Dr. Johnson can be boorish. Too bad. He enjoys using state-of-the-art gadgetry--a kid with a new toy--and may spout doomsday judgments concerning a client's dental health so as to push him/her into accepting treatment that allows him to show off. Office atmosphere borders on the creepy. Short-term staffers from foreign countries who aren't necessarily polished in making you feel comfortable. He's also taken on a root-canal partner who seems equally inept when it comes to dealing with the public. Once I was short-changed by $60 by the receptionist who referred to insurance rates of the next year, instead of the current one. I reported this to my insurance provider. The receptionist did return the amount due me in a rather unhappy manner. It could have, of course, truly been a mistake. At present, I'm in search of a new dentist read more

He did a poor job treating my cavity which resulted in complications. He was rude when I confronted him about my symptoms. The filling was described as "less than adequate" by my new dentist. read more

Went to this office for the first time and was very pleased! Everyone was very friendly and informative. From the cleaning to Xrays I felt very comfortable and welcomed. Glad I finally found a dentist I can stick with. read more

My entire family has been going to Dr Johnson for over a decade. The service has been excellent and Dr Johnson always tries to do all work in as few visits as possible. He is actually very passionate about his work--teeth--and tries to offer the best possible solution. (One rarely sees people being that passionate about their work.) read more

I have been going to Steven Johnson for about 8 years (after trying about 3 different dentists in NYC). I have never felt anything other than completely satisfied with the entire service - including the staff at the front desk who are very helpful with billing and appointments! read more
