This place told me my insurance didn’t want to pay for my root canals or consultation so they told me I had to pay $75 cash to be told they can’t help me then between 1300 and 1500 dollars cash to get my teeth fixed only if it was that important to me. I can pay that cash and he will help me. I have a witness ! The dentist Even told me he could try to Negotiate the price but he couldn’t help me and he’s not going to because they will take the money out of his check. They refused to give me my records a refund because they didn’t help me and they lied about my insurance.

I believe they are pocketing any cash that comes threw this business. I know have an infection throughout my entire right side of my face because this dr office is a scam! They also did the same thing to my neighbor who is a 17 year old girl. Not cool !!

Office staff is rude and unprofessional at the Endodontist. Took our payment and then want to come and tell us that the x-ray machine is not working since the morning. When I called them out and said why they didn't inform us before coming they couldn't find what to say. They charge you $75 for a consultation regardless of you already bringing them Xrays.

They do not confirm or remind you to bring your x-ray when confirming your appointment. When I asked to speak to the manager she refused to speak with me. DO NOT COME HERE

Had an extremely infected tooth and needed a root canal. Dr. Asghar did an excellent job—and the process was painless and smooth. The staff was also friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

WATCH OUT TEACHERS OF NYC. I am writing this review to make other patient, especially teachers and their dependents aware of the disgusting interaction I had with the dental secretary whose name is Anita. I entered the office and as soon as I walked in she have a very negative welcoming. I told her that I have scheduled an appointment with an oral surgeon. As soon as I asked her who the provider will be she turned ballistic. I just wanted to make sure that the provider was in network with my insurance. I have UFT cigna, and as I mentioned it to Anita she let all her frustration out on me, and she said and I quote " UFT is the worse Insurance , they barely pay anything.

They have copayment for all dental procedures". She stated all of this because I told her that I have spoken to my insurance and they mentioned that there was no copayment for a tooth extraction. And I also mentioned that if I wanted to get an implant that my insurance said the provider should honor $1200 discount. Obviously , I did not want any misunderstandings and I proceeded to call my dental insurance, and as I was on the phone with the cigna representative corroborating the information. I asked Anita if she wanted to speak to representative she refused. Then I asked permission to activate the speaker on my phone so Anita could hear such information. Which out of anger, Anita again yelled to the representative that "UFT insurance is the worse.

" The oral surgeon that was going to do the extraction is Adrew E. Zeidman and for which Anita works and turns out the this provider is not in network. With this experience, I realized that sometimes people just take things for granted. Why saying the UFT insurance is the worse, and yet they are still advertising that they are in network. Like the saying goes " Don't bite the hand that feeds you" .
