Michael Shakin DDS - Staten Island (NY)

Kim I recently moved to this side of the island and needed a new dentist since my previous dentists was My dentist was all the way in Brooklyn. Let me just say I’m super sentsitive and very picky when it comes to choosing a dentist lol . … so I called to make an appointment and they accommodated me very quickly . Easy check in , clean office & latest technology. Receptionist were helpful and nice , Xray tech was also nice and quick with the process . The hygienist gave me the best cleaning ever and She was very thorough . Then I met with the Doc Ganna , she was sweet and very knowledgeable. Im super sensitive and have tons to get done but I’m confident and comfortable with the team . so glad I found this gem of an office . Great experience here today :) thanks ladies !!

Elvida Velic Every single appointment has been pleasant. Dr. D and her staff overall are the sweetest people in the medical/dental field and really take the time to focus on their patients. They’re transparent, dedicated, and respectful. I would recommend Smiles Forever to everyone.

Lisa West Everything is broken into separate appointments; x-rays, cleaning, treatment. RANT - My appointment for cleaning was postponed due to my high blood pressure, but they used a wrist monitor then had me walk to the other side to use the arm monitor within 5 minutes. Once I got home I tested using my arm monitor I was normal. And no, I dont have white coat syndrome. END RANT. My questions about future treatment and my current dental habits were answered to my satisfaction. On-street parking without fee. S44 bus.

Valencia Forbes Great experience here! They are very friendly and gentle with your little ones. Even got my 2 year old who is petrified of anyone in the medical field, to willingly open her mouth and have her teeth cleaned! Definitely recommend!

Alexandria Pacifici I can always depend on this Ideal Smiles Dental to provide the best care. Everyone knows it’s not easy going to the dentist but this place truly makes you feel comfortable. Reception is consistently greeting you with a smile, always kind and helpful in regards to making an appointment and will even call you if there is an available appointment sooner which I always appreciate. The hygienist and assistants are wonderful and of course both of the dentists here are professional, kind, gentle and will even follow up the next day with you to see how you’re feeling when you get a procedure done. You can see either dentist here because they both provide excellent care. How many other offices can you say actually makes sure their patients care is priority. I have switched my family over to this dentist (including two kids) because they really are that great.

Maria Delmar He and his staff are the best . Always very kind and helpful . They make you feel comfortable. I wouldn’t go any place else . I’m scared of the dentist for years and he makes me feel comfortable with no pain . He even helped me in an emergency for my son who goes to a pediatric dentist He took him right in. It’s so nice to see a doctor care about his patient and will go out of way for them . Highly recommend

amnun11 Excellent excellent job, very professional. I strongly recommended to all my friends visit this dental office and enjoy excellent Service.

Jackie Dr. Pedro is an absolute gem! I had to get two teeth extracted and ironically enough, it was the best experience! Dr. Pedro took his time to explain the procedure in depth and assured me what I was getting done was the best route. If I could leave a 5+ star review I would. He literally saved me! Holiday week and even hours after the procedure, he went out of his way to reach out and see how I was doing. Thank you so much Dr. Pedro!!

Susan Amato My family and I have been going to Dr. Shakin’s office for over 30 years. And now my 4 grandchildren go to him. Dr. Shakin and his Staff are wonderful, attentive and caring. They go out of their way to make you feel so comfortable and cared for, you feel like family . ❤️
