Best dentist in New York

by jclowes

The artwork is reason enough to go to Dr. Samuelian, but he and his staff have changed the whole experience of going to the dentist for me. I have no fear and all of the work has been pain free. Dr. Samuelian is smart and calm and friendly. I cannot recommend him and his staff highly enough.

Upstanding and Caring Dentist? He's your guy.

by alohala22

I have been seeing Dr Samuelian for over four years now, and let's just say I see him a lot. I have weak enamel, so i have to visit for a lot of cleaning and cavitiy fillings, all of which have been done relatively quick and painless as it gets. I no longer have to dread going to the dentist the way I did as a kid. Dr S is smart, energetic, and enjoyable on every visit, and I'm happy every time I leave (albeit a little numb).

More importantly, after 28 years of undersized and slightly overlapping front teeth, Dr S agreed that veneers might be a great option to have a happier and healthier looking smile - and let me tell you, it was the best decision of my life. He did a fantastic job, helped thoroughly talk me through all my concerns, and was also communicative during the process when I had any additional questions or changes to what I wanted. And now my teeth look perfect, feel fantastic, and I get compliments on them all the time!

I cannot recommend him enough to family, friends, and coworkers - as the best dentist in Manhattan!

Great Dentist and Staff

by SuzanneBottoms

Avo is an experienced, smart, thorough dentist. The offices are clean and the staff is efficient. The equipment is all state of the art. If you require gas, they will provide it as they seek to minimize any pain or discomfort.

I highly recommend this dentist.

For the Faint of Heart

by Erika Paredes

If you fear needles and pain, this is the dentist to visit. His office is very state-of-the-art and in a great location. Staff is very nice and helpful. I had a root canal, that even though it was traumatizing because of what was being done, it was not as painful or as intrusive as I imagined.

• Pros: Amazing hands/Amazing Office
• Cons: None

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!

by flosser

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

The very best !

by franckclaus

I was recommended to Avo Samuelean by a friend of mine. Avo is the best dentist I have ever met. He has given me the confidence to smile again. I have always been unhappy with my teeth, so he recommended me to go for veneers. Avo has done an incredible work in such short period of time. Avo is very gentle when he works, always precise, never painful. The result is amazing and very natural. I am more than happy with my new smile. Also Avo has a great welcoming medical office, it actually doesn't look like one. It is filled with contemporary art pieces and there is always great music playing. His team is great and always welcoming. You never wait long and would you have to, you can enjoy the best selection of fashion, design and art magazines ! Avo has reinvented and revamped dentistry with such great talent and humanity.

finest dentist in gotham

by saraQ

Being the daughter of a dentist, i am a bit picky when it comes to dental care. And i couldn't recommend Dr. Samuelian more highly. His conservative yet preventative care instills great confidence with each visit because I know he will do what is right and necessary. His technique is gentle (he gives the best shots), thorough (he takes his time), and backed up with an NYU education (he's a smarty pants). The office is state-of -the-art, clean, sophisticated, and always on time. Too bad the visits only come twice a year...

Artist of smiles

by yiannig

I was nervous when I first heard I had cavities - it being my first time and all. Dr. Avo and his team made the experience totally bearable though. They were incredibly attentive and professional, and I got the sense that he really knew what he was doing. He was ready and prepared to start the procedure as soon as I got to his office. He took his time while shaping the fillings and added extra anesthesia wherever I had too much sensitivity. He talked me through the whole process, calming my nerves and making me laugh from time to time.

Also, his office looks like a modern art gallery too. It's pretty neat. When I first walked in I wasn't sure if I was at the dentist or a five-star spa.
