PATIENT REVIEWS

I had a really great experience. Dr. Gattegno was very friendly, professional and calming. His staff went out of their way to calm my dental anxiety and made sure my experience was pleasant. He was very thorough with my examination and took the time to carefully explain treatment options and cost,  to me. I will definitely be going back as well as recommending him to friends and family.

Dr. Gattegno and his Dental Hygienist, Angela, were excellent! I was nervous to go to the dentist because it had been 2 years since my last dental exam. The dentist I went to prior was exaggerating the state of my mouth to charge more and once I found I was manipulated I was very turned off by dentists. I explained this to the Dr. and explained I was worried about my mouth and they assured me I was mostly fine. They explained everything clearly and were extremely professional. They also have a video playing at the end of the dentist bed of puppies. It’s a nice touch if you have dental anxiety!

Dr. Gattegno was amazing! He Really took his time and explained all my treatment options. The care is second to none. The hygienist (Nicole) also did a great job cleaning my teeth. The entire staff was very professional and they all made me feel right at home….will definitely come back and will recommend all my friends and co-workers. After years of searching I finally found a dentist I could really trust and know I’m receiving the best care….. 5 stars all the way!

Dr Gattegno has been my dentist for the last 10 years and I can honestly say he’s far and away the best dentist I’ve been to in New York . His office is very clean and all his equipment is modern and state-of-the art. He always takes his time to explain procedures and he and his pleasant staff are really attentive and extremely professional. I have sent several of my friends and co-workers to him over the years and I get back the same feedback- Look no further then his office on the upper west side -you can tell he loves what he does and he’s really gifted . Thanx Dr Gattegno for everything you do and for constantly going the extra mile !

Great experience! My husband and I went together and were both done in a little over an hour. We had basically no wait time and were seen right at our appointment time. The dental hygienist was diligent and careful. The cleaning was not painful. Dr. Gattegno explained the XRs and answered any questions we had. Very quick and efficient. Overall great experience, will be returning!

Great office , great staff— I really trust Dr Gattegno as he has always gone above and beyond . His work ethic is second to none and you could tell he’s really dedicated and loves what he does- He’s also great with kids too and his office and equipment are immaculate. Highly recommend as I’ve seen him in both his upper west side and bayside offices

Dr. Gattegno is an amazing dentist!! I”ve been going to him for over 10 years and i can say without a doubt he is by far the most professional, caring dentist i’ve ever seen. He goes out of his way to make you feel at ease and explains everything in detail so you can understand and . that’s why i trust Dr Gattegno . .His office is modern and immaculate His staff is also great too. If you want a 5 star practice then look no further. He always goes above and beyond to help you and makes your smile look great! Thanx again Dr. Gattegno for all your hard work and dedication. I have sent many of my friends and they all say the same thing.

I’ve gone to Dr Gattegno twice and both visits have been wonderful. My first visit was pre-covid and my second visit was during covid. I was hesitant to go with covid still going on but fortunately Dr Gattegno has made the office feel very safe. I noticed he had some sort of an air purifier as well as did temperature checks. They even provide an antiviral rinse before working on you. I’d highly recommend Dr Gattegno as he has show to be intelligent and trustworthy.

I appreciate that both times I’ve visited Dr. Gattegno’s office, I’ve had less than a ten minute wait time, even though I’ve arrived significantly early each time. I was out of my last routine cleaning appointment before I was even scheduled to arrive. I’ve been seen specifically by Dr. Gattegno, and he’s great at explaining what he’s doing as he’s working. While the office is quite small, nothing beats the convenience of having my time respected.

I highly recommend Dr. Gattegno . I called because I broke part of my tooth and I read a lot of his reviews on Zocdoc and they were all stellar. I was very impressed with his staff and his efficiency .The hygienist was also amazing . Dr. Gattegno not only fixed my broken tooth (painlessly ) I also had a cleaning in the same visit. I already gave his cards out to several of my friends . He is very gracious, kind and professional. I had such a wonderful experience words are not enough! I will definitely be using this office even if I move out of the Upper West Side. I absolutely recommend them.

Dr. Gattegno has been my dentist for several years now. His patient manner and behavior towards his patients is without question the best I have ever encountered. I recommend him to all of my friends, and I applaud him for the wonderful job he did for my smile. He really cares about his patients and gives them his best every time.
Nice job Dr. Gattegno

I had not been to the dentist in several years and found Dr. Gattegno on Smile GPS. I was so nervous for my appointment. However, I could not have been more pleased. Not only was everyone friendly and laid back, the hygienist that did my deep cleaning was excellent. She was incredibly gentle, yet thorough, and talked me through it and my teeth felt amazing when she was done. Dr. Gattegno was also great. I highly recommend this practice and will be going there from now on!

I was visiting NYC and of all things began to experience tooth pain from a capped tooth shortly after I arrived. I had noticed in our Upper West Side neighborhood a dental office and made note of the phone number in case I needed it. Indeed I did need that number later and called on a Wednesday afternoon at 3pm. Dr. Gattegno answered the phone and was on his way into the office after attending a conference. He said he could meet me at 4:30pm. To make a 3-day long ordeal as concise as possible I’ll just say that Dr. Gattegno was incredibly generous with his availability and concerned about my well-being and comfort. He had sent my x-ray to my email, which I then emailed him back late on Thursday night in as I was in excruciating pain. He followed up with a response and his phone number to call immediately. I saw him again the next day and finally was on the road to enjoy the rest of my visit to New York. Hands down Dr. Gattegno would be my dentist of choice if I lived in New York City!

Dr. Gattegno is everything you would want from a dentist. He’s professional, attentive, and caring. He always takes me on time and I’m usually in and out relatively quickly. He is very thorough as well- I recently had a baby and had not been to see him in over a year and he took a number of x-rays just to make sure everything was OK. The office is clean and his staff is really nice. They took a lot of precautions given Covid. I have recommended him to a number of friends and family and couldn’t recommend him more, especially if you live in Manhattan!

I went to this place for the first time today for a regular check up. I ended up having a cavity and the dentist treated it the same day. He said that my insurance only covers for silver fillings but he kindly gave me white fillings. I loved how he explained what he was going to do next and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole procedure. Thank you Dr. Gattegno!

Had a great appointment and was very impressed . They got me in right away and Jessica (the office manager) was very friendly and helped me with my insurance. Then I saw the hygienist and it was by far the best cleaning I’ve ever had. When she was done, Dr Gattegno came in and gave me a extensive exam and went over all my treatment options. Everyone was very professional I highly recommend!

I have dental insurance now for the first time in years (thank you, Affordable Care Act!) and my two previous experiences in NYC (done with Groupons) were less than pleasurable. I found Dr. Gattegno online and booked a cleaning. His assistant Jodi was patient, very friendly, answered all my questions and talked me through everything as it happened and as it related to my mouth and teeth. I came back a couple weeks later for a filling that was the most efficient, painless – without novocaine – experience I’ve ever had.  Highly recommended!

I’m so glad I found my new dentist. His receptionist , Jessica really helped me with my insurance issue. Afterwards , Angela ( his Hygienist) gave me the best cleaning i’ve ever had. Then Dr. Gattegno came in and gave me a oral exam and consultation, I’m going to start Invisalign next week and look forward to having a perfect smile!

I had not been to the dentist for some time, and Dr. Gattegno was so kind and reassuring during my visit! He made sure I felt comfortable the entire time. He also did my cleaning. He was very attentive and took the time to answer all my questions. Very glad I found his practice and care, highly recommend!

Was an amazing experience! Dr. Gattegno and his staff are very professional and caring. His office is very modern and clean. His hygienist was very warm and friendly. I was very impressed with his care and professionalism. I went in for extensive crown and bridge work, and didn’t feel a thing. He made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Overall, he has been excellent. I have already referred several of my friends and coworkers. He is by far the best dentist I have seen in NY. Thanks Dr. G for making me and my family feel at home.

Couldn’t be more happy with Dr. Gattegno-this was the best experience I ever had! My teeth feel amazing and I already made my 6 month recall appointment- His hygienist was great—June–took her time and was very meticulous I’ve been searching the past few years for a dentist in NY and finally found a place that made me so happy to see the dentist! This is definitely a five star practice – He starts at 7 30 am which is really so convenient Dr Gattegno was so friendly and always makes you feel at ease I highly recommend Don’t go anywhere else Honest and very professional and his facilities are awesome

Dr. Gattegno was amazing. He saw me for an emergency on a Sunday morning. I can’t thank him enough for his compassion, professionalism and attention to detail. He made me feel very much at ease and quickly relieved me of my pain. If you want the best dentist on the Upper West Side then look no further!

Was nervous going in… Google Reviews were good for Dr. Gattegno but there were some older Yelp reviews that had me worried. There were no hygienists for my visit so Dr. Gattegno did my cleaning as well. He was extremely kind, told me about some minor concerns he had, happily answered all of my questions, and overall it was a good experience. I already booked an appointment for my next cleaning where he said the hygienist will definitely be the one doing the cleaning the next time around. So hopefully whoever does that is as gentle as Dr. Gattegno. Some hygienists are really aggressive with no regard for human life so hopefully that isn’t the case here. Will update my review at that time if necessary.

Dr. Gattegno is everything you would want from a dentist. He’s professional, attentive, and caring. He always takes me on time and I’m usually in and out relatively quickly. He is very thorough as well- I recently had a baby and had not been to see him in over a year and he took a number of x-rays just to make sure everything was OK. The office is clean and his staff is really nice. They took a lot of precautions given Covid. I have recommended him to a number of friends and family and couldn’t recommend him more, especially if you live in Manhattan!

I found Dr. Gattegno on ZocDoc about a year ago after having some painful dental experiences in the past.  I have many teeth problems.  His dedicated professionalism and good bedside manner always make me feel at ease and pleasant for each dental visit.  The office staff is sweet and courteous.  I am pleased with the overall services and will continue engaging him as my dentist.

I am a new patient of Dr Gattegno ans all i can say is finally a caring dentist. Dr Gattegno’s staff made me feel welcome and informed and comfortable. Dr. Gategno actually spent time with me, listened to me and addressed my concerns. I had confidence in Dr Gattegno’ ability to make my smile perfect and more brillant than ever, Dr Gatteno did not dissapoint. The scope of Dr Gattegno’s knowledge and experience is extensive and impressive . Thanks to Dr Gattegno’ assuring and proffesional chairs side manner, i had a painless enjoyable visit I highly recommend. Dr Gattegno and his Staff

For as long as i can remember i have despised going to the dentist, and anticipate leaving in agony while complaining like a naive infant. Dr. Dan Gattegno and his co-workers within his establishment blew my mind with how pleasant the overall experience was. Immediately upon entering i was greeted with a broad, welcoming smile which, already began to diminish my preordained feelings of panic. Shirley, the dental hygienist, was not only charming and friendly to further relax my worries, but did a phenomenal job cleaning; at no point did i feel pain. Not even a slight tingle. She was perfect and my teeth are sparkling. The atmosphere is flooded with aesthetically pleasing decorations to further distract one from the cleaning experience. Or, you can look Shirley in her eyes and admire her dedicated focus. Dr. Gattego was the perfect combination of colloquial and informative; he answered all of my questions, and if i needed further treatment i am certain that he would have completed any issues flawlessly. Oh, and did i mention there was no wait in the waiting room (contradicting to its name). Needless to say – i will return in six months, and additionally for any dental care from this moment on. – Rob Gin (9/28/15 appointment time: Mon. @ 3:30 pm)

If you are looking for a dentist on the Upper West Side, then look no further! Dr. Gattegno is the best dentist I have ever been to. Perhaps my fear of the dentist (yes, I am 27 years old) has tainted all my experience so far, but Dr. Gattegno is quickly removing that fear. He is thorough, talks you through the entire process and has excellent bedside manner. I will continue to go to Dr. Gattegno for as long as his practice remains and I highly recommend anyone that is looking for a dentist to use him. Thank you for the positive experiences, Dr. Gattegno

He’s the best dentist i’ve ever been too! Very professional, attentive to my needs and always answers all my questions. I can trust him without a doubt and have already sent many of my friends and family members to see him. I’ve been going to both his Upper West Side and Bayside office for almost 10 years now and can’t say enough,,,,,He’s the best!! Thanx Dr. Gattegno

Dr. Gattegno and his Dental Hygienist, Angela, were excellent! I was nervous to go to the dentist because it had been 2 years since my last dental exam. The dentist I went to prior was exaggerating the state of my mouth to charge more and once I found I was manipulated I was very turned off by dentists. I explained this to the Dr. and explained I was worried about my mouth and they assured me I was mostly fine. They explained everything clearly and were extremely professional. They also have a video playing at the end of the dentist bed of puppies. It’s a nice touch if you have dental anxiety!

I have been a patient of Dr. Gattegno going on 30 years now.  He and his staff have always been very helpful, thorough, informative and honest regarding best course of treatment and about what you really need and what you do not need. When I was interested in spending a lot of money on Zoom whitening some years back, Dr. Gattegno could have easily taken my money but instead said that my teeth were already white and that I did not need Zoom. If I wanted a boost I could try crest white strips. When I cracked a tooth he provided good advice and a referral to a great oral surgeon. During this time of covid when I was not going anywhere I trekked into Manhattan twice from Queens specifically to visit his office because I cannot imagine going to any other dentist.

Very friendly and honest. My former dentist told me I needed surgery on my gums. Dr.Gattegno said it was completely unnecessary. He also explained my insurance and costs of cleaning, exams etc beforehand which was very helpful. I’ve had terrible experiences with dentists sending me surprise bills in the past. This experience made me feel comfortable and I will definitely go back

Dr. G is the best dentist I have ever seen. I have dental anxiety, and going to the dentist is terribly nerve-wracking for me. Dr. G does not judge or make me feel nervous. For cavities, he makes sure I am extra numb and checks in and explains steps throughout the process. Cleanings are always great and thorough. I went to him with a concern about a chopped filling. He took a look, told me that it is fine and it is better to not mess with it, and we should just watch it. (Even though he would probably make money if he told me that work should be done.) He did not even charge me for the appointment. Dr. G is great. He is is patient and kind and as long as he is practicing, I will never go to a different dentist! 

Overall great experience. The staff was very nice! It was my first time visiting, so after filling out new paperwork paperwork, I didn’t have to wait long to be called. My time in the chair was quick and pleasant. All my questions were answered. I will be going back and I highly recommend!

I have been going to Dr Gattegno for over 3 years now and have had all great experiences. His office is small but efficient. I always book an appointment before 9:30 am and have never had to wait to be seen. The dental assistants are always professional, friendly and do a thorough cleaning. Dr Gattegno has always been available and happy to answer my questions. I highly recommend!
