Great Smiles of NY - Dr. Jacob Avner, DDS - Rego Park (NY)

Eddielous Baez One of the absolute best dentists in Queens! Caring and dedicated doctor and dental team. Doctor Yakubov goes above and beyond to assure patients are getting the best possible dental care. Maya at the front makes sure insurance claims are sent correctly and is very thorough when explaining treatment costs. Would highly recommend friends and family to this practice!!

Zeba Khalidi Gentle Dental Care has been one of the best dental offices I have visited. I came here as a last minute emergency that was needed for my root canal. My insurance is 1199 and not many people are open on weekends with that. This place was my go to during an emergency. I had pain the night before, called the next morning and they took me in immediately. Everyone working here has been so friendly and treat you like a member of the family. I’m commuting all the way from Long Island to come here but it’s completely worth it! If you really want someone to care about you, your teeth, pain or problem this is your go to. The Dentist himself is also one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. This is something you really need especially from a healthcare provider. Highly recommend Gentle Dental Care! Thank you!!

Jacob Ramey I will admit, I was apprehensive at first, I hadn’t been to a dentist in a while and part of me didn’t want to know if I had a bunch of cavities or perhaps something more serious. I had also read reviews here some of which were quite negative, and others stating that they didn’t take PPO and so I was hoping they would take my insurance. But after three visits I can safely say this is a very nice dentist office. Reception was very nice and friendly, and assured me that my insurance was indeed covered. They took meticulous X rays, and my dental hygienist was thorough about cleaning my teeth. I met with Dr Park and he seemed very kind and knowledgeable, he showed me my X rays and where I needed to get some spots taken care of, and also explained how to go about flossing and taking care of my teeth, as well as answering any questions I had. I went back a few days later to get some spots filled and Dr Park and his assistant were great, I genuinely didn’t feel a thing and my teeth feel much better now. Dr Park is a professional and knowledgeable dentist and he really knows what he’s doing. All in all, reading some of these reviews that were negative made me nervous so I wanted to address them directly. Yes they do take PPO plans, but as always ask the front desk ahead of time to ensure that you are covered if you have any concerns. No, they didn’t try to pressure me in any way to get any specific treatment, but it is always the right of the patient to refuse a treatment, so the reviews which stated “they billed my insurance for something without asking me for permission”, it is up to us to ask questions and communicate with the staff so that we don’t get any surprises. Definitely was not my experience, I would definitely take some of those reviews with a grain of salt. The staff were nice and it was actually the first good dentist experience I have had in recent memory. I had a very positive experience over the course of three appointments, and if you are looking for a nice, clean, friendly dental office this is a great choice and I would definitely recommend them.

meghs Vishwakarma Worst dental experience ever. The hygiene was absolutely unacceptable — the chairs were visibly yellow and dirty. The assistant seemed completely untrained and clueless. The doctor rushed through my cleaning in barely five minutes, with no regard for my comfort. I kept raising my hand because I was in pain, but he ignored it. A Bangladeshi assistant took my x-ray in a rush, only to realize later that she hadn’t done it properly, so I had to go through it again. Shockingly, she didn’t even want to wear gloves. They were taking in patients one after another without cleaning or sanitizing anything in between. This place is unsanitary, careless, and downright dangerous. Please do yourself a favor and reconsider your visit or appointment — I would never go back.

Katherine McGrath Can’t say enough great things about this office. Dr Block and the entire staff are kind, friendly, and helpful. Not to mention, having a cavity filled was painless and took less than 15 min. So glad to find a lovely dentist like this in the neighborhood, my family will be coming here for many years.

Princesa Guerrera The attention of the dental assistants improved my day, in addition to being professionals and supporting me with the braces, they were very kind and cheerful. The spaces are organized and clean. If you need anything with your braces, I recommend them!!

Steven Ramirez I made the best choice to find a different dentist. Dr. Yelena is thorough, caring, professional and also very knowledgeable. I received perfect care for my fillings and crown! She definitely does a detailed and complete job, its like she is a perfectionist! Additionally, the office, receptionist, rest of the staff are great and minimal wait times. Thank you!

mylife Living “Living Mylife” staff was welcoming nice waiting area comfortable rooms with the TV inside watch Netflix while getting my procedure done. Dr. Daniel Ilyabayev did a wonderful job giving anesthesia . it was painless. I love this place!

Habiba S I’ve had a few visits to this clinic now, and each one has been better than the last. The staff is not only professional but genuinely kind, creating a calm, welcoming environment from the moment you walk in. Sophia, the hygienist, gave one of the most thorough yet gentle cleanings I’ve ever had, truly meticulous. Doctor was equally impressive; he walked me through my treatment plan in detail, patiently answered all my questions, and didnt make the appointment feel rushed. He used laser for 2 of my fillings, and it was completely painless and over before I knew it; honestly better than any fillings I’ve had in the past. Highly recommend this clinic if you want care that’s both advanced and thoughtful!

George Herrera What a great team! Had a really nice visit for my annual cleaning. The whole team is great, Paola at the front desk is lovely! Kevin the hygienist was super nice and very helpful with tips and advice. And the dentist Mr. Velazquez was super friendly, informative, and helpful as well! Overall very nice experience :)
