Fantastic experience: Great service today! Everyone was so friendly!! Will definitely recommend patients to Dr. Islam and GHD!!!
Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad you had a great experience and truly appreciate your recommendation of Dr. Islam and the practice.
Negative experience: Have to really find another dentist, they are forever finding issues in your mouth to cost you money. Total mouth issue this time is over $3700 this is ridiculous, seniors don’t have that kind of money. And they always have new dentist, the others are leaving, seems to tell me something.
We’re sorry to hear about your frustration. While we cannot discuss specific details, our providers follow clinical guidelines to ensure treatment recommendations reflect each patient’s needs. We understand cost can be challenging and our team strives to work with patients to explore options that make care possible. If you have any questions about treatment, past or present, please reach out to us directly. Thank you again for your feedback!
Fantastic experience: I received online dental visit time available today. My hygienist came to welcome me for routine cleaning. I enjoyed eye mask during the procedure and was done by 5pm. My hygienist Niha was gentle and very organized. She is providing me with the best routine dental care. Herminigilda Sambajon

Fantastic experience: Sufyan was the greatest dental hygienist I have had in my adult life. He is very thorough and does a wonderful job cleaning teeth.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled Sufyan could provide such thorough and excellent care for you.
Fantastic experience: The service was very good and I liked the cleaning of the teeth. Now, the estimate to replace the crowns on my implants came out is very expensive. I noticed that it was includes the teeth that will not be treated, by my choice. I think I need an estimate just for the 7 implants. But, I will wait for the response from my insurance.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you were pleased with your cleaning. We understand your concern about the estimate and will be happy to review it with you to ensure it reflects only the treatment you’ve chosen. Please let us know if you have any questions after hearing from your insurance.
Positive experience: Good cleaning. Did not have to wait much for the Appointment . However everytime I visit , there is a non-covered procedure offered .
Fantastic experience: My hygienist Irina is phenomenal she takes her time to explain things and is just knowledgeable of so much. She also cares about patients and my feelings and how I feel as a person. Is there for you to answer any questions and treat you not just like a patient but like a member of Group Health dental.

Fantastic experience: 8.14.25---Irina was my hygienist. This was my second visit with her. I had a deep cleaning. Irina's gentle demeanor made a tedious process tolerable, explaining what was going to happen, before she did anything. I have anxiety when it comes to the dentist Irina alleviated my angst. s

Fantastic experience: The most relaxed dental experience in my life ❤️
Thank you for sharing this sweet feedback. We’re so glad to hear you felt so relaxed and comfortable during your visit.
Fantastic experience: From making the appointments over the phone, greeting us at the front desk, being escorted to a room to meet the dental hygienist, and the dentist and at the end of our visit, through making the next appointment, the whole team is friendly, kind, caring, even humorous at times, the experience was awesome! The building and the office is modern, bright and clean. The energy in the office makes you so relaxed that forget that you're at the dentist! Our appointments were at 11:00 am and the wait time was pretty much non-existent! We traveled from Brooklyn to the office in Manhattan and will continue to do so without hesitation and we are surrounded by many dental offices! Other dental providers will have a lot of work to do in trying to emulate this team! Thank you for your wonderful services and providing such an amazing experience. We love you guys and look forward to our next visit!!

Fantastic experience: Truly the best dentist office I’ve ever been to. Incredible hygienists that are so kind. Dr Kim is a really fantastic dentist. Clean and cool office!

Fantastic experience: I have extreme dental anxiety after some very negative experiences and I've run out of other offices in pure panic. Sadly my dental health had extremely suffered for it. EVERY person here - receptionists, hygienists, surgeon, dentists and assistants have all been incredible. No judgment, just positive, reassuring, gentle care. Dr. Lewis is a wonderful surgeon and Dr. Islam is so patient and caring. So very grateful to them.

We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Dr. Lewis, Dr. Islam, and everyone else who supported you.

Fantastic experience: My appointment with the dental hygienist went very well, thanks. However my follow up appointment with Dr Efron didn't go very well. He came in shortly after the hygienist finished. He examined my gums by asking me to remove my upper denture that was all. I told him that I was having an issue with my tooth that was bothering me. He asked me to have a seat in the waiting room at which time his assistant finally emerged just to call someone else who clearly arrived after me. After I approached her she told me that there computer was down. That's when I decided to leave.
Fantastic experience: Dr Islam, was very professional, caring & took the time to explain everything to me. It was very reassuring to have him as my dentist. I left the office feeling calm knowing I was seen by someone who really cared...absolutely the best..others can learn a lot from him
Thank you for the kind words! We're so glad to hear that Dr. Islam made you feel comfortable and cared for during your visit. It’s our goal to provide reassuring and thorough care, and we’re thrilled to know he exceeded your expectations. We truly appreciate your trust in him and our team!

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re glad to hear Jenn provided excellent care and that you felt welcomed by our team. We appreciate you choosing us and look forward to your next visit!
Negative experience: Disappointed . I arrived at 3.30 for my 4.00pm appointment for teeth cleaning. Cleaning was started at 4.40pm. They don't communicate you just have to continue waiting which is so unprofessional. When I asked the lady at the desk why I've not been seen, she told me that my hygienist had an emergency which I didn't believe and she wanted me to reschedule my appointment after waiting for more than 1hour. This is the second time this has happened to me. Last time I waiting for 2hrs. Do I have to take Xrays on every appointment? Could my decline of taking Xrays be the cause of the long wait. Most probably.
Thank you for your feedback. We're very sorry to hear about your experience and the long wait time during your recent visit. That’s not the level of service we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating this must have been. We take your concerns seriously and would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly to better understand what happened and how we can make things right.
Fantastic experience: Everyone was extremely nice, and there was absolutely no judgement about how long it had been since my last visit to a dentist.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear our team made you feel welcome and comfortable. We look forward to caring for you at your future visits!
Fantastic experience: Every thing said about Dr Brown is true true. I also have been his patient since forever. Always willing to give positive info about needed procedures. I want to follow him to his new practice, however I come from Charlotte, North Carolina, and I did that for years. I am coming to the practice in NY hoping I have similar experiences with other professionals at this practice.
Fantastic experience: They made time for my dental emergency and got my appointment done in time to return to work. Professional, kind and open about the steps they wanted to take in response to the tooth I cracked in half.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad our team was able to accommodate your emergency and provide professional, clear care so you could get back to work.
Fantastic experience: June 25, 2025 Awesome service once again. I had a filling and a crown preparation done. 100% satisfied with the service! August 15, 2024, I had a cleaning done. Normally, I would be very nervous; not looking forward to the painful experience. My gums are very sensitive. I actually enjoyed the cleaning. First time ever. Wow! Awesome experience!
Thank you for sharing your experiences! We’re so glad you felt comfortable during your cleaning and are happy with your recent treatments. Your satisfaction means a lot to us!

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're so glad to hear that Jenn made you feel comfortable and cared for with her gentle and thoughtful approach. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words.
Negative experience: I've been at group health dental for 30 years. As the practice has become more upscale I found that it is less trustworthy, more likely to say you need "preventative" services, charges higher fees that insurance won't cover, employs dentists that don't take insurance and has poor communication about wait times. The office is gorgeous but I feel less cared about which is so important as a dental client.
Negative experience: I had an appointment with the dental hygienist on 5/6/25 which was fine. She made a recommendation for more extensive work and I decided to think about it before proceeding. I was confronted by the office manager, Paty, who was very aggressive questioning my decision to think about it. I have been a patient in this office for over 30 years. Recently my experience has been they push dental work that may not be necessary as confirmed by a consult with another dentist. They have raised their rates to above and beyond what other dentists in NYC charge. I would not at this time recommend this dental facility.
Fantastic experience: The BEST dentist experience I've ever had – seriously! As any New Yorker knows, finding a new dentist after moving to the city can feel overwhelming. With so many options and so little time, I took a chance on Group Health Dental after seeing their great reviews and realizing they accepted my insurance. I’m so glad I did — I was absolutely blown away by the entire experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt cared for. I was greeted by Ashley, who might just be the sweetest and most helpful person I’ve ever met. She immediately made me feel at ease and went above and beyond to fit me into the schedule, working around my availability like a total pro. Then I met Iryna, who is hands down one of the most talented and thorough dental hygienists I’ve ever encountered. It had been a while since my last cleaning, and she handled it with such precision, patience, and kindness. Not only was the deep cleaning immaculate, but she explained everything clearly and gave me personalized recommendations that made a huge difference in my smile. She never made me feel rushed — I could tell she genuinely cared about doing what was best for my teeth. Finally, I met Dr. Islam, whose approach I deeply respected. He was honest, kind, and took the time to assess my situation without pushing unnecessary procedures. I loved that his goal was to preserve my natural teeth — no drilling for the sake of drilling here. Since then, I’ve already been back to see Iryna again, and I truly wish I could start every morning at Group Health Dental. That’s how amazing this team is. They’ve set the gold standard for what dental care should feel like. I want to scream my love for this team from a mountain top! Highly, highly recommend — I genuinely can't say enough good things about this place!
Wow! Thank you so much for this incredible and heartfelt review. We are truly honored to hear how much your experience with our team meant to you. Ashley, Iryna, and Dr. Islam will be absolutely thrilled to know the impact they had. It means everything to us that you felt cared for, heard, and respected every step of the way. We're so glad you chose us and look forward to continuing to care for your smile. Thank you again for the amazing recommendation.
Fantastic experience: I had a great time at Group Health Dental, and had my exam done by Dentistry's Dynamic Duo, Dr. Kim and Irina... When they hit the scene, cavities cower, gingivitis grovels, and plaque starts pushing for the door!! I hope Group Health Dental is getting them capes, for they're truly superheros!!
Thank you for the wonderful and fun feedback. We are thrilled to hear that Dr. Kim and Iryna made such a great impression. We will be sure to share your superhero shout-out with them!
Negative experience: I had a really bad experience during my visit for a cleaning today. I left with bleeding gums and I never bleed when i floss or brush my teeth. Once again all they want is to push for a local antibiotic injection for $125 (not covered by insurance) to treat a gum inflammation that l have never experienced and when you asked for an oral prescription as treatment they tell you that oral antibiotics don’t work for the mouth. We all know that this is incorrect.
Fantastic experience: First time there. I was very comfortable and I thought everyone was professional and pleasant. I would recommend this dental office
Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad your first visit was a comfortable one and that the team made a great impression. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience. An awesome deep cleaning I will be going back.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re so glad to hear you had a great experience and that your visit went so well. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
Fantastic experience: Dr Joe and Jen was incredible. Jen did a excellent and wonderful cleaning. She was very sweet and warming. She explained everything and very comforting. I recommend her to anyone that wants a through and professional clean! Thanks Jen hope to have you again! Modesto.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that Jen and Dr. Khafi made such a great impression. Jen’s warm, thorough, and professional approach truly shines, and we’ll be sure to pass along your appreciation. We look forward to seeing you again!
Negative experience: I'm not happy this dentist asked for money for the service that should be included in the visit somethings not right here. Suspicious behavior I need to report this to the better business, not happy with this dentist
Fantastic experience: Irons the dental hygienist is caring, detailed, professional and patient. I saw Dr. Islam for the first time who answered all my questions and was detailed.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We're glad to hear that Iryna made your visit such a positive one with her thorough and caring approach, and that Dr. Islam took the time to make sure all your questions were answered. We appreciate you being part of our dental family!

Thank you for the kind words! We're so glad you felt the warmth and consistency of our team. It means a lot to know our care and familiar faces help make your visits more comfortable!
Negative experience: I have Dr. Otto and I thank God for her. She is gifted with patience and empathy. She listens closely and it’s almost as though she is stepping in your shoes and is really able to understand what your telling her even if you’re not being explicit as you would like to be in explaining your problem. I have a problem of the numbing medication wearing off quickly and she makes it work with 1-2 injections the most. At other dentist it was 6-8 injections before the procedure was finished. She is exemplary and outstanding. I have never met a dentist like her. She is a unique Doctor in the field of dentistry and she made me feel like I wasn’t a bother and she understood. I was comfortable and relaxed and my fear of the dentist leaves when she works on my most. The truth be told I get my fear back whenever I have to see someone outside of her there. I could go on and on about Doctor Otto. She is truly an Amazing Doctor and Incredibly Awesome Dentist!! The only reason why I gave it a 4 is because my first experience there was a horrible one. I had a tooth that I was supposed to have a root canal done on and over the weekend the tooth began to be severely painful. I called that Monday and had to stay in pain until that Wednesday. I think they undermined my pain even though I told them it was a 15. So I suffer for 5 days and 4 nights with the pain because the 800 mg of ibuprofen did absolutely nothing for the pain. I should have been pulled in as soon as possible. I didn’t get much sleep or was able to eat. The pain was unbearable. No dentist should allow a patient to be in pain for that long or undermine a person’s pain. I felt ignored and I wouldn’t have let an animal suffer like that. Later for the root canal. I got the tooth pulled. I couldn’t take the pain. I expressed my feelings and they said they didn’t realize it, but if I say my pain is a 15 on a scale of 1-10, then how can one not realize it. It’s easy to ignore or don’t take seriously the complaint of pain when it’s not in your mouth. Outside of the initial visit I have no complaints. The receptionists are awesome people. Friendly, professional and outstanding!! Carey Ann in the financial dept. is very nice and pleasant and was encouraging and told me after I had the tooth extracted that if I had any more problems with pain to call and ask to speak to her and she would get me in that same day. Which should have been done by staff when the pain was present). I appreciate her willingness to help. She alright with me and I think she is great!! I know I will be footing a large bill though. Thank God they have payment plans. I would recommend people but be prepared to be paying large amounts of money.
Fantastic experience: Amy and dr islam are very patient. The chair was massaging me while Dr. Islam remived the temporary. I did not feel a thing. Great service and pleasant attitude. Also the hygenist offered me an eye mask along with lip balm. She cleaned my teeth excepyionally well.

Fantastic experience: I recently discovered this dental clinic and honestly, it’s been a great experience every time. The staff are super friendly and accommodating — they always make me feel welcome. One thing I really appreciate is how easy it is to book an appointment, even at the last minute! So far, no unnecessary x-rays or upselling, and no hidden costs. Everything is explained clearly, and they give you options before starting any procedure, which I really appreciate. Dr. Khafi is very nice and professional. He always makes sure I’m comfortable during the procedure and takes the time to explain what’s going on. Definitely makes going to the dentist a lot less stressful.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here every 4 months for the 3 past years. My dental hygienist is such a joy to receive care from...and know she sees many patients and yet she always remembers to ask after my dog. The staff really gets to know you in a way that is very genuine and makes you feel valued. My regular dentist is great too. The service is excellent at all times.

I took the noise canceling earplugs, the stress ball and the warming eye mask...I mean what else can you ask for.

Fantastic experience: Had a root canal today and the oral surgeon said he was going to call in something for pain if I need it. The antibiotic is at the pharmacy however there is no pain medication and I’m in pain, my tooth is throbbing. I’m taking antibiotics and Motrin, extra strength Tylenol. It still hurts. I called and left an urgent message. Perhaps I need a stronger antibiotic.I never received a response. Dr Brown on the other hand is the best. Professional, caring and is the only reason I chose Group Health Dental. I’ve been his patient for years. I highly recommend him to friends, relatives and colleagues. As a health care professional I recognize high quality care.

Fantastic experience: I came back to NY and went back to my favorite Dental Spa to see my favorite Dentist Dr. Benito, who has done a lot of work on my teeth. I love the staff there they are all very professional and supportive in helping you achieve good oral health and appearance. It had been so long that I came to their new location on a different floor. I was impressed but not surprised. They have always maintained a beautiful work space. Thank you for seeing me today. ❤️

Negative experience: Although you are a particaping dentist & should accept payment in full, you charged me $28 due to reduction in 1199's payment & refused to inquiry with the imsurance company. This is going to be a problem now because I will refuse x-rays, except my 2 per year.
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any confusion regarding your insurance and payment. While we’re unable to comment on specific payments or treatments due to privacy regulations, we’d love the opportunity to clarify any misunderstandings, particularly about the x-rays mentioned. Please contact us directly at (212)398-9690, and we’ll be happy to assist you. We appreciate your trust and look forward to ensuring the best experience for you moving forward.
Fantastic experience: Irina the dental hygienist was one of the best I ever had give my teeth a deep cleaning. She was wonderful. The entire staff is amazing.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that Irina provided you with such a great deep cleaning, and we’ll be sure to pass along your compliment to her. It’s wonderful to know that you had such a positive experience with our entire team. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Great experience, I was able to get two appointments done by chance since I showed up 30 min early due to getting out of work earlier than usual. My dentist Kim had an open time slot and she noticed me in the waiting area, so I was able to get my appointment with her finished today instead of in two days! Saved me the trip and also got me scheduled cleaning done with Neha right after.
Thank you for sharing your great experience! We're so glad that we were able to accommodate you and make the most of your early arrival. It's wonderful to hear that both Dr. Kim and Neha helped you get everything taken care of in one visit. We always strive to make things as convenient as possible for our patients, and we're happy this worked out for you! Looking forward to your next visit!
Positive experience: I’ll edit my previous review and deduct a star only because they didn’t tell me my dentist is only scheduled on Mondays and Tuesdays, so I would have to make another appointment to see him. The X-rays and cleaning were fine and there was no wait, but had they told me before I could have rescheduled and made only one visit. Today was good—not much waiting, X-rays were quick, cleaning was good and visit with dentist was also efficient but thorough—
Thank you for your honest feedback! We’re glad to hear that your visit was efficient and that you were happy with your X-rays, cleaning, and time with the dentist. We apologize for the miscommunication regarding the dentist's schedule and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’ll make sure to keep this in mind for future visits to ensure a smoother experience. Thank you again for your understanding!
Positive experience: The office is not only clean and immaculate but also a welcoming space where friendliness and professionalism shine through. All staff members are in uniform, creating a cohesive work environment. They are also dedicated to providing excellent services. Dr. Islam was very kind, patient, and informative, and even had a massage chair. My hygienist was equally good followed up with me the day after my deep cleaning. I'm rating it four stars because I did not anticipate the $1,200 cost for the antibiotics needed. However, since I hadn't been consistently flossing much in the past and hadn't had a cleaning in over 6 months, this was par for the cause.
Thank you for your detailed review and thorough feedback! We’re so glad to hear that you felt welcomed and well cared for by our team, and that both Dr. Islam and your hygienist provided excellent service. We truly appreciate your feedback on the cost, and we strive to always provide clear communication about treatment options. Thank you for trusting us with your dental care, and we look forward to continuing to support your oral health!
