Best Dentist I have ever been to

by KarMac

I can't believe I am recommending a dentist. I have had so much work done that the ADA is most likely going go give me an honorary degree soon. Most of my experiences have been far from great!

I went to Dr Samuelian for a chipped tooth and it turned out I needed a root canal. I had a few root canals before, and this by far was the best experience I have had. He also reached out that Sunday to see if I was OK, which I couldn't believe.

I wish I could say that was my last visit....the previous dentists I have gone to did a far from stellar job. I had to do that weird smile thing where you don't want to show your teeth because my crowns looked so bad. Turns out they didn't just look bad, they were done wrong. Dr Samuelian had to redo all of them and more. I never dreaded going, he has a great personality and treats you like a person, not just a number sitting in a chair. I have never had to wait, and Michelle in the front is so accommodating with my busy schedule. I will email her and a matter of minutes later she has a few options for me.

I highly recommend Dr Samuelian.

• Pros: bedside manner, staff

Look forward to going to the Dentist!

I've been going to Dr. Samuelian for several years--the only years I've not dreaded the experience.

Appointments have always been on time--no waiting room marathons--and the cleanings are both quick and thorough. It's a nicely-designed, relaxing, clean, no-hassle office, run by a friendly and efficient office staff. I also feel that the office is well-equipped for modern dentistry, such as allowing the patient to see x-ray images immediately, and giving quick turnaround for devices.

In addition to my cleanings, filling replacements and other preventative treatments, Dr. Samuelian also replaced half of my front tooth that broke, and did such a GREAT JOB that nobody can tell! Of course, since I broke my tooth in my sleep, a nightguard followed, with quick molds and custom fitting. Something that felt fairly traumatic was handled with warmth, care and an effective treatment.

I highly recommend Dr. Samuelian for anyone who dreads the dentist. For anyone, actually, period.

Best Dentist Ever!

by Gollandka

I've been afraid of dentists my whole life. And not just a little afraid. After having used any and all excuses not to visit a dentist for years, a friend recommended Avo Samuelian to me. Friends had recommended their dentists to me before, but never with so much enthusiasm as in Avo's case. And was I ever glad for this friend's advice!

In my opinion, Avo is a very talented and highly skilled dentist. To restore the damage, Avo and his colleagues kindly helped me through root canal procedures and rows of cavities. Without any tear, without pain, while apparently even able to drill away my age-old fear. No small accomplishment! And I definitely have ended up with healthier and clean shining teeth.

I can strongly recommend Avo to anybody in need of a dentist or unhappy with their current dentist. His office does not charge any more than other Manhattan dentists, it mainly depends on your insurance. And yes, the office itself looks very nice and the staff is always friendly. Best of all, the dentist is the best there is.

• Pros: Highly skilled, very friendly dentist
• Cons: none
