Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. From making the emergency appointment which they were able to accommodate the next day, to walking out I was very impressed. The girls in the front were kind and accommodating. They called me back for my appt just two minutes after I walked in, Dr. Moore was understanding, none judgmental and very easy to talk too. She looked at my X-rays and explained everything I had going on and gave me multiple options and answered all my questions. She got the work done quickly and efficiently, made sure I was comfortable and not in pain always checking on me . As someone who is terrified, and anxious and generally hate the dentist , my whole experience here was amazing. Will be returning for continued , long term care.

Fantastic experience: Dr Wakily is the best dentist I've ever had and I've had a few winners in the last 60 years. He's the ultimate professional. He remembers and discusses conversations we have had in the past and he always has a calming demeanor that relaxes me, even in times of dentistry stress which we all have. I've been coming to this practice for over 20 years and I feel very comfortable with the entire staff of professionals. Thank you !!!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to this office since the late 1900's, long before it became The Smilist. The new practitioners are every bit as capable as the old. A request for a consult at 8:15 am yesterday, resulted in my being seen at 1:00 pm yesterday, and my work already complete between 2:00 and 4:00 today. Dr. Daniella Apostol is brilliant, as artful as she is technical. The same may be said for Dr. Michael Wakily, who treats me regularly. I've had a painless procedure, with remarkable results. Kudos to P.A. Brenda. I highly recommend this dental practice.

We are incredibly grateful that you took the time out to leave us this review. Thank you!
Negative experience: This place is the biggest scam there is nasty staff. I went for a consultation they come in and say I need to do x-rays no problem. How much is it $49 OK let’s do it. The doctor comes in and says we’re doing a full panel of x-rays. Then the nasty office staff comes in and says oh no we’re only gonna do the bottom. I said the dentist said that we’re doing a full panel. She goes. Oh well we’re only doing the bottom now. For a customer I was going for a free consultation could have cost them thousands of dollars and work. I was looking to get everything done. This will not be the place. I’m getting it done at.

Fantastic experience: i originally tried to book online but it didn’t go through on their system and though i got an email about my appt, when i came it wasn’t in their system. but they kindly fit me in later that day, so better to book over the phone. i had dr apostol and she was wonderful! i was very nervous about getting a root canal because i have sensitive teeth, and they not only gave me options but she explained each step and very efficiently got it done with no pain. she listened to my concerns and kept checking in that i was doing ok. i really appreciated that, and it was a completely different experience from what i was used to. great communication, they took time to address my concerns, and did great work!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had very bad experiences with other dentist and my mom told me about the Smilist ! I have severe anxiety going into dentists. And everyone is so nice and personable at the east Islip location. The women that did my cleaning talked me through everything and took breaks when I needed ,.immidiatley made me feel comfortable and explained to me step by step what I needed .. I would recommend to everyone Iknow. 10/10
We are incredibly grateful that you took the time out to leave us this note. Reading reviews such as this make our job wonderful!
Negative experience: They Scheduled us for the wrong type of appointment. Then had us wait 45 minutes for a consult and we had to reschedule. I called twice and left messages with a person to change the type of sedation for wisdom teeth removal that we were scheduled for because they had pushed us into the laughing gas instead of general anesthesia and they never called back. Terrible service and disrespectful of people’s fears and individual preferences.
Thank you for leaving this feedback. We strive to provide exceptional care to all patients and will use your input to continue improving our services.
Fantastic experience: “I have always been impressed by their professionalism and quality of service". Thank you
We appreciate the time you took to give us such a great rating!
Negative experience: Beware! They billed me for an extraction which they said they couldn’t do, they sent me to another Dentist to schedule that procedure. Then after that they said a certain procedure wasn’t covered by my insurance but they wouldn’t submit the procedure paperwork to my insurance company. Why do I have insurance if you won’t submit the paperwork? After you made a mistake on my bill maybe you made a mistake in saying my insurance won’t cover this so please submit the paperwork so I can have the insurance response in writing and follow up with the insurance company myself. Nope won’t do. Won’t even discuss. They said they would call the insurance company to double check while I was there but I was standing right there and they never called, just said full stop you aren’t covered. Maybe I am, maybe I’m not, but please submit. Nope won’t do. Stay away.

Fantastic experience: I just had the most life-changing dental experience of my existence, and I owe it all to Monica! I literally traveled all the way from Florida just for the privilege of having her clean my teeth. Yes, you read that right – FLORIDA. I heard whispers of her legendary skills and knew I had to experience it for myself, and WOW, was it worth it! Monica is an absolute miracle worker. From the second I walked in, she treated me like royalty, making me feel completely at ease with her gentle, almost magical touch. The way she cleaned my teeth was nothing short of art. I felt like I was getting a spa treatment for my mouth – every single tooth felt like it was getting its own VIP treatment. If I had known how incredible this cleaning would be, I would’ve flown in from California, Hawaii, or anywhere in the world to see her. My teeth have never felt so pristine and refreshed. Monica is the undisputed champion of dental hygiene, and I’d travel to the ends of the earth just to get that sparkling clean again. Do yourself a favor – book with Monica. You won’t regret it. She’s a dental angel!
At The Smilist Dental East Islip, we strive to provide a unique and comfortable experience for all patients. It's wonderful to hear that the quality of care received was appreciated.

Negative experience: The guys I saw was great. The company as a whole trash. Needless bill padding. I didn’t need X-rays but got charged for them anyway . 3% extra on a 1500 bill cause I don’t walk around with that kind of money. If I were you shop around a little more.
We want to sincerely apologize if you had a negative experience, and would like to learn more about what happened. We want to make things right. Please give us a call at 516-279-2922 or email us at [email protected].

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a consistently great experience with the staff at Smilist Dental. They are always polite, professional, and incredibly accommodating when it comes to scheduling appointments—flexible with both times and dates, which I really appreciate. I recently had four fillings done by Dr. Michael Wakily, and I can’t speak highly enough of him. From the moment he walked into the room, he spoke to me in a calm and reassuring way that helped ease my anxiety and nerves. Throughout the entire procedure, he regularly checked in to make sure I was comfortable and to see if I needed a break. His caring approach and professionalism made the whole experience so much easier for me. Dr. Wakily is a fantastic doctor, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality dental care with a compassionate touch.

Negative experience: I had a deeply concerning experience at The Smilist. One of the dentists recommended two root canals, which immediately raised red flags. Thankfully, I changed jobs and my new insurance wasn’t accepted here, which led me to get a second opinion. Since then, I’ve seen three different reputable dentists, all of whom confirmed that I don’t even have cavities. It’s extremely troubling to think that such an invasive and expensive treatment was suggested without cause. This kind of behavior erodes trust in the dental profession and puts patients at serious risk, both financially and medically. I urge anyone considering this practice to seek a second (or third) opinion before agreeing to any major treatment. “The Smilist” might sound like a friendly name, but after my experience, it felt more like “The Swindlist.” Stay cautious.
We have no patient by this name, please contact us at 516-279-2922 or [email protected] as soon as possible so that we can resolve this issue.

Negative experience: Not recommended. After my spouse went in for an initial exam, she received an x-ray of each tooth and was recommended to have 5 cavities filled. The dentist recommended that she have all cavities filled at one visit. This was a terrible recommendation and the dentist did not properly align her teeth. This led to 3 months of toothache, even after going in for a re-exam and alignment. Their schedule is inflexible if you need to reschedule an appointment. I would not recommend anyone visit the Smilist. This is a corporate dental office that does not put the needs of their patients first.

Fantastic experience: Monica at this location was very compassionate. As a middle aged woman with fear of going to the dentist, she did not judge me and was very considerate of my feelings. As a gagger, Monica understood that x-rays this visit would not be possible after a few attempts and did not force them on me. She did a thorough cleaning allowing little breaks for me to rest a bit. I have already recommended a friend who had a visit in March and she was very happy as well with this East Islip office so much so, she made her next appointment on the spot!!.

Negative experience: I'm a new patient and have been there 3 times in the last 6 months. At first I was happy I switched and found the staff and dentist to be welcoming and professional, but every time I went, and paid the required amount, I would get a bill for additional money due. The last one was for a treatment the hygienist recommended. I asked if it was covered by my insurance and she went to the front desk and confirmed it was, so I agreed to the treatment. Now I am being billed for it.

Fantastic experience: I have been brushing my teeth too hard for a long time and it seems that it has caught up to me. My gum is receding in one small area and it’s causing some serious sensitivity. Before it got any worse I thought it would e smart to seek professional advice toward fixing it. The front desk staff was welcoming and polite. Dr. Crivello was very friendly and knowledgeable. He gave me a referral to a local periodontist who is going to get me squared away. I would recommend this place for sure. Great experience. I’m going back for a cleaning in July.

Negative experience: This office was great until I switched doctors within the same facility some work was done in December and I have not recovered since. Went back so It could be examined again and was told it would go away. Now I'm taking NSAIDs 3-4 times a day. Very disappointed! What upsets me the most is that I express that something is not right and I keep getting brushed off “This will go away with time” It's been a month. All I did was a filling replacement!
