PATIENT REVIEWS

I have been a patient of LLM Dental for more than 30 years. Dr. Lee is exceptionally skilled and attentive to the needs of her patients. This high level of professionalism and affability is found throughout the office. I have recommended her to family and friends and would unequivocally recommend her to anyone in need of first-rate dental care. I rate the practice 10 stars out of 5.

I’ve been seeing Dr Lee for about 12 years now and she and her team are incredibly thorough and thoughtful. Going to the dentist can be a chore, but LLM is such a great practice with personable, caring staff who take time to get to know you and explain procedures/issues, etc. I just went in for my first COVID-era appointment and felt completely safe and secure. They’re doing heroic work. Me and my teeth are grateful for Dr. Lee and her team.

LLM Dental was recommended to me 10 years ago when I couldn’t get an emergency appointment with my own dentist.  I was so impressed by their willingness to see a new patient on a Friday afternoon, as well as the service I received, that I’ve been going there ever since.  I’ve never been disappointed.  The administrative staff is very friendly, efficient and quite helpful, and I’ve received exceptional care from Dr. Lee and Mara.  The office has the latest technology and excellent craftspeople for crowns, laminates, etc.  I highly recommend LLM Dental.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lee for over 15 years and have had nothing but great experiences over that time, from cleanings, to minor issues, to major restorations. I visited her office yesterday for a filling repair and note that the COVID-19 protocols in place at the office are efficient and very thorough.

I decided to switch dentists after more than 15 years with the same doctor because he merged his practice with another group and it was impossible to get an appointment.  I’ve been very impressed with LLM thus far.  The office is run extremely professionally, and I found Dr. Lee to be both very nice and VERY thorough.  My hygienist, Jenna Smith, was kind, friendly and gentle (I have sensitive teeth and I’m also a bit of a wimp).  I’m delighted that I made the change!

I’ve been with this practice since I first came to New York in the late ’70s, and have been with Dr. Lee since she first joined the practice. I’ve received excellent care from her, Mara, and Yvette. LLM is very well run; Caralyn and the office staff are professional and knowledgeable, yet everyone is warm and personable. I highly recommend this practice.

I have had the good fortune to find Dr. Gabriela Lee, and Mara, who is an amazing dental hygienist at LLM. Their work is impeccable, their experience and expertise run deep, and their level of patient care is unsurpassed. The atmosphere is very friendly, staff is superb in both attitude and service. Pricey of course… I highly recommend LLM!!!

I’ve been on the search for an NYC dentist since I started working here two years ago, and it was certainly worth the wait. I used to dread going to the dentist as a child, but Dr. Lee and her staff have completely turned that around. On my first visit, I had the wonderful Jenna for my cleaning and she was nothing but kind. Despite what was a daunting task after a year and a half since my last cleaning, she made the situation humorous and personable, regularly checking to make sure that I was as comfortable as possible. Dr. Lee continued this sentiment, even walking me to the door after my appointment and taking the time to ask what I do and get an understanding for my industry. I am so thrilled to have found this gem of an office of great people who care about what they do, from the receptionist to Dr. Lee herself. I never thought I’d say it, but I’m actually looking forward to my next cleaning in August!

Dr. Lee is my dentist here, and Mara is my hygienist. What a super team they are!!! Mara is hands down the best hygienist I’ve ever come across in my life. Both Dr. Lee and Mara, respectively, possess extraordinary skills, are very personable and thorough both in their hands-on work and with explanations of their findings. Highly recommended!!!

I would guess this is the best dental practice in Manhattan! From the minute you walk into the office you know it’s a professional office, yet Caralyn and her front office staff are not stuffy.  The hygienists are all excellent, but I like Mara and have been well taken care of by her for many years.  Dr. Lee is an extraordinary dentist, thorough, honest and gentle.

Great experience. I had a problem with inflammation in my gums around a back tooth, and after a few days I couldn’t deal with it on my own anymore. I had not been to the dentist for TEN YEARS because I hate going so much (lots of crappy childhood experiences getting cavities filled). The dentist and hygenist were great, and the hygenist was really thorough and knowledge when cleaning my teeth, and told me how to take care of my problem, which turned out not to be that bad. And my mouth felt super extra clean when I was done! Thanks!

I’ve been to other dentists in my life, but they pale in comparison to Dr. Lee. She’s a wonderful person as well as a knowledgeable and caring dentist. The office staff (shout out to Caralyn, who runs the place) and the dental hygienist (another shout out! to Daisy) are also very professional. I no longer live/work nearby, but have no intention of changing my dentist. A little extra transit time is a small price to pay. If there were six stars, I’d award them here.

Always professional, friendly, patient-centered and painless!  What more can you ask for?  I actually look forward to my 6-month visit, and know it will help maintain my health and serves as effective preventive care.  Mara is a very competent, warm and friendly hygienist and Dr. Lee is a talented professional who is attentive, an excellent communicator, and wants the best for her patients. The office is also run in a very organized and efficient manner…I’ve never had a hassle with appointments, insurance, billing, etc.  It is a first-rate practice in all respects.

I am very happy with Dr. Lee and the entire LLM Dental Assoc. practice.  Today was particularly good as one of my crowns fell out and I was seen quickly the day after it happened. Have been a satisfied client for many years and actually look forward to my visits as long as they don’t require huge amounts of complicated work and rising  costs. I like my hygienist Jena and am sure others are good as well.

I never write reviews, but because I rely on them and because LLM Dental is the most wonderful, professional dental care I have ever experienced, I feel it is time. Professionalism of the highest quality –from the office staff to the hygienists (shout out to Jenna!) to the Dr Lee herself. If I could give more stars, I would.

Dr. Lee did a wonderful job in repairing my chipped front tooth. The process was painless and efficient and my smile has never looked better. I visited again yesterday (March 2019). Both Mara and Dr. Lee were very professional and were very accommodating in adjusting to my last minute schedule change. Mara was excellent in cleaning my teeth and in advising me as to what I should focus on in the future. Dr. Lee was excellent in identifying a potential issue that is to be addressed. I visited again (March 2020) and again experienced very professional treatment. My gums were checked (and I received helpful feedback), my teeth were cleaned and I had a cavity filled. Everything was done very well.

I’ve had a terrible phobia of dentists, ever since I was about 7 years old and had to have a baby tooth pulled because it didn’t fall out on its own. I was scared, but the dentist, a kindly old man (or so I thought), assured me that it “wouldn’t hurt a bit.” Tentatively, I opened my mouth, and without warning: SNAP!!!!! An incredible pain like I’d never experienced before in my young life, and blood everywhere. I would never trust dentists again. Until now! Someone at my office recommended Gabriela Lee, and it turns out that tons of people at my office use her, because she is friggin’ awesome. She is kind, smart, personable and professional. She remembers things you told her 6 months ago and asks about them at your next visit. She tells you what you need done, but understands that there are other considerations to think about for major dental work (my favourite example: she told me I needed an old crown re-done, but said, “This is a big deal, so take the time you need to prepare yourself mentally and financially, and we’ll do it when you’re ready.”). And when you DON’T need the work done, she won’t make you do it — which means I get to keep my wisdom teeth! Hooray! Her hygienist, Mara, is also great. I would never go so far as to say that I look forward to my cleanings now, but Mara makes them tolerable. She greets me as she would an old friend. She praises me for good flossing habits and makes me feel like I’m getting an A on a quiz. She gets the cleaning done quickly and efficiently, and packs me a goodie bag when I’m done. (What can I say — I’m always a sucker for a goodie bag, even when it’s only filled with toothpaste and floss.) Even the receptionists are excellent, and the office is run like a well-oiled machine. I make my next appointment while I’m there, and I get my reminder card in the mail a couple of weeks before that appointment. I thought about subtracting a half-star for the fact that Dr. Lee doesn’t accept any dental insurance. I still get reimbursed by my insurance, but it’s a pain because I have to pay for the services up front and then send in a form and get a reimbursement check, and it takes a few weeks. But if I take away a half star for that, I can only give Dr. Lee four stars, and that wouldn’t be accurate, because both she and Mara are definitely 5-star ladies. Thanks Dr. Lee for restoring my faith in dentists!

I needed emergency repair work and Dr. Lee was recommended by my brother in law. The office was so helpful and arranged to get me in right away. Dr. Lee was wonderful, and did a fantastic job on my tooth. I was very impressed with the work and though I live in New Orleans, I will have Dr. Lee make the permanent repair to that tooth. If you need dental work or a good hygienist in NYC, you will be completely satisfied.

I can’t say enough good things about these folks: the dentists, the hygienists and the office staff are friendly, professional, and great at what they do. I live in Boston and I still travel to NYC every six months for a check-up with Dr. Lee — if that’s not my highest endorsement, then I don’t know what is.

I have been going to Dr. Lee for over 20 years and it has always been a pleasant experience, even thought it’s the Dentist! they are very sensitive to the Covid situation and took special care to make sure all was safe, including a temp check and pulse check. They are kind and helpful and the office staff is great, especially Carolann. The new hygienist, Daisy, was very good and professional. I highly recommend them!

I have been a patient at LLM for about 50 years, first with Dr. La Sota and then (and presently) with Dr. Lee. Dr. Lee is a GREAT dentist and superior human being in every way! I have been treated by Mara, dental Hygienist, for a number of years too. Caralyn and her front office crew are professional, accommodating and kind.

Dyan Cutro I have been going to this group (Drs. LaSota and Lee as well as Caroline, Jenna and Charlene) for over 30 years. Before becoming one of their patients I was petrified of going to the dentist. This group is not only the most professional but also the most passionate about their patient’s overall dental health and comfort. I feel like I am going to see my family when I go to their office. I know their kids, grandkids, spouses, etc. And they know mine as well! Because of their attention to my dental care I am proud of the health and condition my teeth and gums feel and look.
