PATIENT REVIEWS

I highly recommend Gramercy Smiles. The staff is incredible and makes every effort to ensure that you receive excellent care. I have always been terrified of the dentist and the staff at Gramercy Smiles has really gone above and beyond to ensure that I feel safe and comfortable during my appointments. They seem up to date on the newest practices and technologies. I like how there is a screen in front of me to review xrays with the dentist if needed. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. They truly create a great dental experience!

The best dentist visit of my life! Like most people I dread dentist appointments, which is why I procrastinated on scheduling one despite the fact that I was 99% sure I had my first cavity. Thankfully, after today’s appointment I’m actually excited to go back! The front desk was super helpful and welcoming during scheduling and day of. Julia, the dental hygienist was incredible during the cleaning! She checked in constantly to make sure I wasn’t in any pain and explained what she was doing each step of the way. Dr. Mats was the kindest dentist I’ve ever been to and was thorough in explaining my situation and the plan of action. I left after a painless appointment knowing I was in the best hands for the root canal (yep, that cavity I ignored) next week. I definitely recommend this office and Dr. Mats! 

I have been going to Gramercy Smiles  for the past 11 years and I have recommended countless people who have all had great results. I got my braces there years ago and I’m there every six months for regular checkups. All the dentists and hygienists are very friendly, knowledgeable and make you feel comfortable regardless of the procedure. Plus the office is amazing, with complimentary coffee and snacks!

The best dental experience I ever had in my life. It’s the first time in this office.Impeccably clean and timely. They make sure all of their patients are comfortable, well-informed, and leave feeling good. Dr.Mats is wonderful. She explained very well everything what and why procedures should be done. Even for a filling, my experience exceeded expectations. Everyone is gentle and patient, you’ll be in good hands!

Went here for the first time after not visiting a dentist for a couple of years. Great experience! They make it a really welcoming atmosphere with the aroma diffusers and massaging chair backs. Sometimes all the detailed information is a little overwhelming but better to leave not knowing. And they always check and double check if you have any questions.

I am obsessed with my dentist. Did I just say that? After around 25 years of intense fear of any dental procedure, I’ve found the dentist that makes all of my nervousness go away. I recommend Gramercy Smiles to everyone. Genetically, I have pretty weak teeth and the dental insurance that my parents had when I was growing up wasn’t the best. I had tons of cavities and needed a crown after cracking a tooth on a popcorn kernel before I was even in high school. For a long time, the dentist was just equated to pain and suffering. Combine that with shoddy dentistry, I’ve spent a few years cleaning up the work of my childhood dentists. Gramercy Smiles has worked with me for the past 2 years to get my house in order. Every cleaning I have there leaves my mouth feeling great and the hygienists remember you from the other times you come in. Say what you will, but having someone remember the conversation we had last time makes me feel like I’m not a client you’re shuffling through the system. Importantly, they’re realistic about the urgency of dental work and how they can work with insurance to benefit you. I’ve gotten fillings fixed, learned the root canal I had done from that darn popcorn kernel was incomplete and worked with them for a crown replacement to correct the one that has been improperly sitting in my mouth. They’ve gone above and beyond in so many ways that I can’t see myself using another dentist ever again.

If you are looking for a high standard of care, terrific bed side manner, and honest dental office…this is it. I’ve been going to dr. Mats and her Gramercy office for over 4 years…and to complain would be impossible. Shirley, the team up front, and all the whole staff are just good people who value their patients time. I’ve seen the same employees working in the office since I’ve first became a patient. That usually says a lot about the environment within the office. I feel so comfortable being scheduled with other doctors (dr Koster and dr Tadros to name others) knowing the quality of care I’ve received from dr Mats will be duplicated by them. Usually I’m one to read reviews, not write them. In this case, I’ve been so well cared for at Gramercy smiles that I believe others in NY should know.

I came here for a cleaning, and I was satisfied, so I decided to trust them for a crown. It was a very good decision to come to this place, especially that I didn’t have previous experience or something to compare with. The doctor was on time and made my visit comfortable and memorable. Without mentioning the staff that reminded me of my appointment and makes me feel like a human being. Would higly recommend!

I have been going here since 2011. they are reliable and friendly. Plus this last time I went they had made some awesome upgrades. the dentist chair in my room had a massage function and they provided a hot lavender scented neck towel. really helped with the general anxiety I get from going to the dentis

When I first visited Gramercy Smiles close to 7 years ago I had what is described as an ‘English smile.’ After years of severe grinding I basically had half teeth that required major reconstructive work. Over the course of more than a year and countless afternoon 3hr+ long appointments Dr. Mats and her assistant, Nicole, did a meticulous job fixing my teeth, leaving me with a much better set of pearly whites! They were incredibly patient and diligent and I could not have wished for a better doctor. I have not had any problems since the treatment and I am super happy with my teeth. The whole staff at Gramercy Smiles could not have been more friendly, from the hygienists and assistants to Shirley and her team who have made the whole experience of going to the dentist about as pleasurable as it can be. For anyone looking for a dentist I can not recommend Gramercy Smiles highly enough.

I have recommended Gramercy Smiles to everyone I know. I have needed extensive dental work over the years (crowns, implants, fillings, and root canals as well as general cleaning) and I have always received the most professional and thorough care. The dentists are extremely caring, communicative, and mindful of any discomfort at all times.I have been especially impressed with the office’s attention to follow up care. The administrative staff is pleasant, flexible with their schedule, and always upfront about insurance coverage and costs. I never worry about going to the dentist because I know that I am receiving the very highest quality of service at Gramercy Smiles.

Gramercy smiles is a fantastic dental practice. Everyone is very nice, gentle, professional and prompt. I’m on my third or fourth visit to them and every time has been a breeze. It’s a very “zen” environment as well: Massaging dental chairs. Attractive, clean, space more reminiscent of a day spa than a dentists’ office. The one time I needed a filling it was quick and pain-free.

I went to Gramercy Smiles for a few years then had to leave due a change in my insurance. After trying a few other dentists I was less than satisfied so I went back to Gramercy and found out that they could see me out of network for a reasonable rate. I’m so thrilled to be back. They don’t overly recommend dental work and they’re not too casual – they are a perfect blend, only doing work when it’s really needed. The hygienist gives the best cleaning I’ve ever had. The office had exceptional COVID precautions. All of the staff are truly delightful to work with. I’ve been to several dentists in nyc and this is by far the best. I highly recommend them.

Gramercy Smiles is fantastic. So much so that during my root canal this afternoon, I was thinking of what to write on Yelp. Oh did I mention, I actually nodded off during the procedure. Yes, Dr. Mats is that good. No to mention that the Novocain injections were a breeze. Seriously, I loathe going the dentist but this place makes it bearable. Dr. Mats is warm, down-to-earth and listens to your concerns. Every member of the Gramercy Smiles team has been professional and made me feel at ease. Additionally, Shirley, the Office Manager, is always on top of her game. She is a wonderful patient advocate and representative of the company. Top notch!!

Superb. I’ve been going to Gramercy Smiles for a few years now. Julia is my hygienist and truly one of the kindest people in NYC. I look forward to my cleanings because of her. You’ll be greeted with smiles from the front desk and leave with a hot lavender towel and a goody bag filled with natural products like charcoal toothpaste and a bamboo toothbrush. They take time to explain what they’re doing, make sure you feel comfortable and let you know what you can do to improve each time. I’ve recommended Gramercy Smiles to many of my friends and will continue to do so.

Love Gramercy Smiles! I’ve been coming here for three years and they’re always nice, helpful and encouraging. I’ve switched insurance a few times and each time they’ve looked up my new provider and helped make sure my visit would be covered. The dentists and hygienists are always very friendly, and my overall dental health has improved since I started coming here because they take the time to walk you through any issues you’re having and offer up tips (like for me, spending a little extra time brushing my front teeth in the morning because the plaque dries on in the night). The office is also clean and updated, so it’s a pleasant experience overall.

I love Grammercy Smiles. Everyone is greatly professional and kind. GS sends you reminders prior to each appointment. They also call if they see something unexpected from your insurance so there are no surprises when you get there. The dentistry is the first-class, too. Every precaution and step is made to ensure one is comfortable and informed about each procedure. They really take care of the health of teeth with such attention to detail.

People hate going to the dentist. I don’t. I’d even say I enjoy it. And that is all to the credit of the lovely people at Gramercy Smiles. Julia is my hygienist and she’s so thorough, gentle and explains everything in detail. She takes the time to get to know her patients, and I look forward to seeing her each visit. They have a “holistic approach to dentistry” and give you a goodie bag each time with natural products like a bamboo toothbrush, charcoal toothpaste and more. You even get a hot lavender towel at the end of every cleaning! Best dentist ever.

Gramercy Smiles makes going to the dentist enjoyable. I have been a patient here for about 6 years, and have honestly never had a bad experience. The entire staff is so friendly and helpful, from the front desk to the hygienists and the technicians. I love all the little personal touches they add like the lavender neck pillows and towels, and also how easy it is to make appointments over text or email. The all natural products in the goodie bags are also great! I have thought about changing doctors because the location isn’t that convenient for me anymore, but whenever I come in for an appointment I remember how much I love it! An overall wonderful dental option in the city.

I have hated going to the dentist since I was a kid until I went to Gramercy Smiles on 23rd Street about 8 years ago. The first time I went into the entrance of the office I noticed how really clean it was. I met Shirley who seemed to know that I didn’t like the dentist. She was immediately very sweet. Every appointment for the past 8 years I have found the entire staff to be very professional. Knowing my anxiety for the appointment, they have an amazing ability to put me at ease. After all these years Shirley still works there and she has always been so pleasant. A clean neat environment is very important to me and I can honestly say that I have always found it to be that way. I give them my highest gratitude!

This office is always busy, and for many good reasons. Everyone here is super organized, very competent, very friendly very beautiful and do an excellent job. The office is very modern and sparkling clean. My dental chair had a massage option and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very importantly you don’t feel rushed and waiting is minimal. Dr. Mats did my fillings and i didn’t feel a thing. I use to be so scared of the dentist but now I don’t mind going to. Thanks guys!!

I highly recommend Gramercy Smiles. I have been going to this place for years now and everyone is so nice and accommodating. The Dentists and Hygienist are very thorough, knowledgeable and professional. I have done fillings, cleaning, xrays and crown replacement and all my experience have been superb. The front desk is very responsive and helpful. The location is also perfect for me.

I have been going to Dr. Mats for years and she is hands down the very best dentist in New York City — or anywhere for that matter. Her attention to detail is incredible. I had poor dental care in years past and she has patiently worked to fix issues prior dentists have caused. She is the only person i will trust with my feet. In addition, the entire staff at Gramercy Smiles are just wonderful. I look forward to going to the dentist!

Grammercy Smiles was amazing. In the past, I have had horrible and moreover painful experiences at the dentist on top of which I have extremely sensitive teeth. I am telling you – look no further. I found the only place to go from here on out. The hygienist was phenominal. She listened to my concerns and did whatever she could to make a usually painful and anxiety ridden cleaning, go very smoothly. She was encouraging throughout and explained what she was doing and offered some easy tips for future maintenance and care that seemed reasonable. She was thorough and patient. The staff was welcoming and friendly and I was able to get in and out and back to work in no time. If you want a dentist that will do an amazing, thorough and above-all, painless job, get yourself to Grammercy Smiles. You won’t want to go anywhere else again.

I have been a patient of Dr. Mats for several years now. She is by far the best dentist I have ever been to. I will never go to anyone else again. I actually began seeing her in 2007 while she was working at another Dr’s practice and I followed her to her own practice about 2 years ago. Over the years I have had a lot of work done by her. I even fell asleep during a root canal that’s how amazing she is! She has done a lot of cosmetic work for me and I get compliments on my teeth all the time. I have visited her new office several times now and I must say the staff is super friendly. Always greeting me with a smile. I’ve been seen for several emergency appointments when I thought I broke a tooth, no more popcorn kernels for me! I was always brought in ASAP without much wait time. During that visit i actually saw her associate, Dr. Koster I believe . She was super friendly and assured me my tooth would be fine just a small filling was necessary. After a painless shot of novicane she got to work. I was probably done in 20 minutes and so far so good . Thank U Dr. Koster! They even accept my insurance which is fabulous. I have had some copays which is fine. I’ll pay whatever I have to for the exceptional service. Plus i know that the dentistry performed will last me for years! Most high end offices like hers don’t even accept insurance! All in all, this place is a true find. A+ for the dentistry. A+ for the service. Dr. Mats will have me as a patient for life!!!

I went to Gramrercy Smiles for the first time. I didn’t see a dentist for 2 years. From the moment I walked every person on Dr. Mats staff was friendly, helpful and patient (I was just there for a cleaning and check-up), After having a cleaning by the most patient (and very gentle) dental hygienist I have ever been to – Dr. Mats took the time to kindly explain what she was seeing in her examination, and worked with me to plan the next steps necessary for my continued dental care. She was very sweet and answered all of my questions and concerns. Highly, HIGHLY recommended.

I’ve been a loyal Gramercy Smiles patient for the last 8 years and I truly love their entire team. From booking appointments easily (including thorough confirmations and flexibility if things change) to amazing staff and hygienists to the fabulous doctors, it’s truly always a pleasure to walk into the office. My wife has now come over to the bright side and equally loves the entire staff. Looking forward to many more happy years with the Gramercy Smiles crew!

Great dental office, I have been going to them since I moved to NYC couple of years ago. I do my regular cleanings and also got a Veneer in my front tooth by Dr Mats, she is an artist and did an outstanding job. Staff is super nice and in overall the office offers everything you may need for your dental health. I highly recommend.

Always a great experience at Gramercy Smiles. The entire staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Shirley is always very accommodating and quick to call back. All the hygienists are super meticulous and gentle. Julia, stands out because she explains everything during and gives great tips for oral health. Honestly, the entire staff, including the specialists they call in, are top notch! Even though I now love 2 hours outside the city, I still make sure to come in for my regular checkups. It may be rare, but I love going to the dentist because of this office!

Thank you Gramercy smiles for a great experience, I would honestly give them 6 stars if I could! Staff and the manager were super friendly and professional. Really enjoyed upscale and clean office setting with music playing in the background. Procedures were very clearly explained, and all my questions were answered. The doctor had a very light and easy touch, and we had a nice conversation before my root canal letting me know not to worry. The whole environment made me feel at ease. The most comfortable and pleasant experience at a dental office yet, couldn’t be happier. Definitely will go back, and recommend it to everyone. Again thank you all for giving me my smile back!!

I’ve been coming to this office for close to three years now and I’ve only experienced stellar service. The staff here is amazing and makes scheduling an appointment and dealing with insurance a breeze. The care here is the most thorough I’ve ever found at a dentist and they make sure to keep you up-to-date on x-rays. The doctors and hygienists over explain everything but that way you always feel comfortable with each step. The best part- they take Saturday appointments for longer procedures like cavities and root canals. This makes getting the right care you need while on a work schedule super easy. Even though I no longer work near this office, I’ll be keeping them as my regular dentist.

I chipped my wisdom tooth one early morning and I was desperate to find a dentist close to me. The minute I entered Gramercy Smiles I knew this was an excellent establishment. Something about the vibe , it was just extremely positive. Perhaps it was the very attentive girls who immediately acknowledged me when I entered their office, maybe it was how clean everything was or maybe a combination of everything working in beautiful unison. I , like others, have had my share of terrible experiences and I was absolutely terrified of what came next. They did an amazing job of calming me and assuring the anxiety/pain issues would be addressed. I’ve heard all this before which is why I have trust issues but after my experience with Gramercy Smiles I have learned to trust again. The Doctors were warm and patient. Everyone was really really REALLY friendly, almost like this place was something out of a Romantic Comedy. I expected someone to propose to someone else in the middle of my procedure and …I ‘d be ok with that. Billing was never an issue, I knew going in it would cost me and I was prepared for that. In fact I preferred the extra cost since I considered this luxury service and frankly I’d rather pay more for top service than go into some butcher shop and get butchered by a butcher. I can’t remember the Doctors name who worked on me but he was amazing, totally listened when I said I had pain and adjusted the drugs accordingly, the dude even gave me his personal cell phone if there were any problems. Service like that is just…beyond anything I’ve ever experienced. I will go back to get some other work done , these guys are the best of the best of the best. Thank you Gramercy Smiles.

I have been a patient at Gramercy Smiles for many years. Their service is impeccable – from the amazing staff at the front desk, to the doctors and hygienists- they provide the most comfortable and holistic experience of any dentist office I have visited. The office is clean, I never had to wait more than 5 minutes for any appointment. They make even the most unpleasant procedures pleasant, which says a lot about a dental office. The doctors and hygienists guide you through every step; they are caring, gentle and thoughtful. They even have chairs with a soothing back massage! It’s the little things – a hot lavender towel to use after teeth cleaning, sunglasses to protect from the light during the procedure. And I love the care package that they send you home with – a cute kit with all the necessary tools to keep you on top of your dental hygiene.

I am not an easy dental patient but my experience with this place has been stellar.  They do a very good job keeping you calm and the whole atmosphere is very nice.  They even have massage chairs.  The dental hygienist  explains everything she is doing as she goes and constantly asks how you are feeling.  If you are nervous about going to the dentist than this is the place for you.
