The best dentist ever! I've had root canal, implants, cleaning, deep cleanings, fillings, crowns, bridges. Dr. Z is the best. You will be happy with him. I've been going to him for 8 years. You need your teeth to chew all that yummy food and yelp about it, so call Dr. Zemelman ASAP with your dental issues. He takes MetLife dental insurance. read more

I am really grateful to Dr. Michael and his staff for the care I received. I moved to NYC area 3 years ago and couldn't find a good dentist since then. I had serious dental problems and was recommended to go for implant in 2 other dental practices. Fortunately, a colleague suggested I should visit Dr. Michael. He is very knowledgeable, professional and caring, a dentist who strives to do what is best for the patient's health. Following Dr. Michael's recommendation, I quickly started to feel better and am getting the tooth restored! What makes a difference to me: Professionalism - Dr. Michael is performing a wide range of procedures, whereas at my prior dental practice similar work required coordination between several doctors, which took me hours for appointments and resulted in little outcome. At Dr. Michael's, I was able to get help in a quick and efficient way. Al of my 3 visits were ~ 1 hour long and pain free. Caring attitude - I feel that the ultimate goal at Dr. Zemelman's practice is to help the patient get healthy and recommend the best known course of actions as opposed to selling (to recall, I was actively pushed for implants /extraction elsewhere). All of the staff (Irina, who is assisting, Tatiana - taking care of reception and billing) are wonderful and create a very positive and kind atmosphere. It's a pleasure to visit. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE read more

Dr. Zemelman is a wonderful dentist. I needed a new primary dentist after moving to NYC and was very lucky to come across him after a poor experience at another dental practice. Dr. Zemelman has performed a few procedures for me and he has made the experience completely comfortable. He always recommends the best course of action and uses the best medicine and technology available today, but does not push unnecessary work to be done. I highly recommend him as your primary dentist. read more

Had a poor experience at this office earlier this year. Wouldn't recommend this office to anyone, even if the location is convenient if you work in the battery park area. The hygienist did a poor job as she barely cleaned my teeth, neglected to even floss and then tried to upsell me on a deep gum treatment. I have pretty standard insurance and it would have cost $500 out of pocket. This is the only dentist office I have even been too that has recommended something like that (so I promise my teeth aren't all destroyed or anything) and apparently they recommend it routinely every few years to all their patients. His dragged out for like 20 minutes so about 25% of this appointment was upselling... Dr. Zemelman barely spent any time with me during the appointment either. He only sat down for a brief look and to recommend the same gum treatment. read more

Absolute amazing dentist. So caring and patient. He takes his time and answers all of my questions. Has such a gentle touch and you can just see that he wants the best for his patient I've been there 3 times now (I'm having so much work done its crazy :( and they have been running on schedule every single time. I've never had to wait more then 3 mins. What a sweet and knowledgable dentist I have found in battery park! Great location. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE read more

I've had more cavities, root canals and what have you than your average person. You name it I've been through it, thrice (genetics what can you do?). I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Zemelman and his staff. Where as other dentists would immediately opt for say, a root canal (and they have), this dentist negates that and not only opts against the root canal route but will in full detail explain to you why he has chosen to do A and B and not C or D. I've been to dentists who look like they enjoy dentistry as much as I enjoy going to a dentist on a Sat morning (I don't). I'm pretty positive Zemelman not only thoroughly enjoys his profession but it is very apparent he is passionate about it. There are so many dentists who honestly have no idea what they are doing and rather go the extreme than sit and think about the best treatment plan for your case. I can honestly say, Zemelman will work for you and not against you. If i ever moved out of NYC, no joke I would fly back to visit him. Once you find an honest and passionate dentist, it becomes very obvious they are a dime in a dozen and you gotta stick with them. If you have any questions about him, please Message me and I'll answer, thanks! -NK read more

I'd like to express gratitude, and give my highest recommendation to Dr Zemelman: Dr Zemelman has been my dentist and has taken care of my teeth for over 20 years now. To be fair, I do not have perfect teeth, I like sweets, a lot. As a result, over the years, I had a lot of dental work done, and Dr Zemelman's work has been of consistently high quality. It did not cause problems, it did not cause discomfort, and it has lasted very long, in good condition, allowing me to enjoy my teeth and my sweets. The office in Battery Park is also great, the manager/receptionist is very attentive, keeps track of, and tries to accommodate patient's requests. Over the years, my work location has changed, I don't work close to Battery Park anymore, but it's always worth the time and effort for me to continue to be seen by Dr Zemelman. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Zemelman and his staff. Each time I've visited, I've left delighted, which is a rare adjective to use when speaking about dentist appointments. I've had cleanings and more serious dental work done, like multiple fillings in one day, and each time has been pain free and actually enjoyable because Dr Zemelman is such a caring, kind person and dentist. He really takes the time to talk with me and make sure I'm getting the proper care. The best proof of his amazing work and care that I can give you is that I'm quite wary of having cavities filled as my teeth are fairly sensitive, and at the beginning of my first filling appointment, Dr Zemelman recommended that I try no novacaine. I was shocked and nervous as I have never had a dentist offer no needles before and don't have the highest pain tolerance, but not having a numb face all night sounded nice. He told me many many times to just raise my hand if I had any pain at all and that he'd give me novacaine if I needed it. I had absolutely no pain, even though his work was careful and thorough- and quick (though by no means rushed!) Booking appointments is a breeze as well with his amazing staff. I would travel across multiple states to see Dr Zemelman and his staff. No wonder they've been in business here in Battery Park for so long. read more

Dr. Zemelman and his extraordinary team are true magicians who somehow turned the most dreadful experience, which we all remember since childhood, into the most desirable place to be. At least that is how I feel whenever the time comes for my appointment. And that is how it has been for me for the last 20 years. Once I found this office I never looked anywhere else. Moreover, I brought many of my friends there as well as the whole immediate and extended family. Few days ago the work on my implants had been completed. Many lengthy appointments over a long time produced a true masterpiece. Over the course of that journey the doctor's and his staffs' professionalism, meticulousness, extraordinary decision-making were on full display. Dr. Zemelman possesses a rare quality to make sure his patients are totally comfortable with all he intends to do. He takes time to answer questions and concerns. At times he even uses demo material to explain anatomy to his most curious patients. The fact that I have never gone back with the same tooth over the 20-year period speaks of his tremendous skills. Small or big always comes with the certificate of quality. Teeth cleaning there is the absolute best you can get. Miraculously, each time after going through that procedure, I find my teeth whiter and brighter and lighter. And of course, just like every nice home, this office starts with the welcome reception. Making an appointment cannot be easier and friendlier. Scheduling is perfectly spaced which eliminates any wait. I hardly remember myself seating on those comfortable couches unless I was waiting for someone to come out. As much as I am happy that my teeth are perfect again, I am sad that there will be no visits for some time.... read more
