PATIENT REVIEWS

I have never been to a dentist before. Honesty felt very embarrassed and nervous to go. As I open the door to doctor Shalman’s office I was greeted with nothing but smiles and happiness. I was taken step by step what to expect and what they were going to do. Everyone was super nice. I got an x-ray of my mouth and a cleaning. While getting the x-ray and my cleaning they made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process. From asking me what type of music I would like to listen to and seeing if I was okay during. When my cleaning was done I shocked. I never knew all the build up and yellow would disappear. I honestly thought I would go my whole life with my teeth like that. I couldn’t stop laughing and touching my teeth. The where literally squeaky clean. I was just amazed. Again I couldn’t stop touching my teeth lol Before leaving I was even given a little gift bag! It was so sweet and thoughtful. Thank you for making my year and making me feel like even happier person. I never knew clean teeth would make me soo happy. I will only be coming here. Pros: Amazing staff and doctor Very clean and well decorated space A snack bar Overall an amazing experince Cons: There isn’t any

Dr Shalman was very patient in explaining the state of my wisdom tooth and why it was in pain. When I didn’t understand something, he used his camera tool to give me a visualization of my tooth. During my wisdom tooth extraction, he explained everything to me from beginning to end and made sure I was properly numbed. His office staff are super friendly and empathetic, and environment is super fun and creative. It was a great fun to be in his office!

I had my first visit with Dr. Shalman about a week ago, and I really enjoyed the experience.  He was quite personable and I felt less like a patient and more like an old friend.  It was obvious that he really cares about his work when he started explaining his family’s lineage in dentistry.  The office was spectacularly clean without lacking charisma and was full of snacks and books to read in the event there was a wait (there was none).  He was professional, meticulous, educational and personal.  I felt safe and really enjoyed the personalized attention that a smaller practice such as Dr. Shalman’s lends.  He let me listen to music instead of being forced to watch tv which was a first for me as well.  Very happy and hopeful about the future of  not only my teeth but the future of dentistry after his visit, would highly recommend!

I had such a great experience with Dr. Shalman and his staff. From the moment I walked in, I could feel their warmth and it put me right at ease. I really appreciated all of the little touches of the office like a cute little gift bag when leaving and the Nespresso machine. What I was most impressed by, however, was the transparency. While taking x-rays, they set it up so the images pop up in front of you and show you what percentage of your mouth has been completed. The doctor then walked me through each one of my slides. I had a lot of questions because I was so curious, and he took the time to answer every one of them. It made me feel like I was part of the process rather than on an assembly line of patients

My husband, three sons and I all see Dr Alex Shalman, a truly amazing dentist. He is proactive, meticulous, and patient-centered in his approach. It was clear from my first visit years ago that he was a consummate professional. He is knowledgeable in the most up to date dental practices and he personalizes treatment to best serve his patients’ needs. An excellent experience every time.

I have always had a solid dentist my entire life. However, when I moved too far away I needed another dentist who not only matched the experience but the professisionalism I was accustomed too. So grateful I met Alex, I found him through Instagram and immediately though messaging he made me feel comfortable about him and what he does. When I came in for my consultation he went above and beyond and made me feel at ease. I had quite a few dental concerns cosmetically and generally that I wanted to address and he made the experiences seamless! I have found my new dentist for LIFE! Thanks Alex!

The office was super cute I loved all the decorations and the location is so convenient. Marina was SO nice and I appreciated how detailed and thorough she was about my insurance coverage. I walked out with no questions about finances which is rarely the case! Dr. Alex was direct, respectful and even asked what music I liked to play during my appointment! Already have 3 follow-ups scheduled. Would recommend to anyone who doesn’t have availability during the work day and who likes a kind, young, thorough practice

I get anxiety when I go to the dentist so I avoid going and I typically cry. Today was a breakthrough. Not only did I not have any major damage after 2 years of avoiding the dentist, I was comfortable. Everyone was so sweet, and Dr. Alexander made sure I wasn’t in pain. I’m definitely coming back and I’m telling my friends. I didn’t cry!!! I was very early for my appointment. Someone was in front of me but I was seen before my actual appointment time. Dr. Alexander was very nice and laughed at my corny joke about being grown. He made sure I wasn’t in pain and communicated what was happening (which is important cause anxiety). I already scheduled my next appointment. Very rare for me. I am a fan

Dr. Alex Shalman is incredible – and I don’t put this lightly. I take my oral hygiene very seriously and Dr. Shalman was beyond thorough. He caught a tiny cavity between two teeth – I’m actually excited to see him again and have him work his magic! I trust him completely; you can tell from the way he speaks with you, how he approaches his assistant, and the diligence with which he works, that this is passion; he performs with integrity and honesty. His bedside manner is unparalleled, too – from sanitizer when I walked in, to asking what music I’d like to listen to, he truly considers every aspect of his client’s comfort. I cannot recommend him enough!

After neglecting to go to a dentist for 15 years I’m very happy I made the decision to go to see Dr. Shalman. He was very professional, very thorough, took full x-rays, photos, & a mold of my teeth. His assistant Julie was very sweet, & I got a goodie bag with dental floss, mouthwash, lip balm, & a toothbrush in my way out!! I highly recommend him if you are in the NY area in need of a good dentist. Even if you aren’t in NYC, make the Schlep!! It’s worth it!!

I came to this doc because of their high reviews and they didn’t disappoint. Such a friendly and personable staff. I hate getting my teeth worked on and they genuinely made it an enjoyable experience. They were really upfront about pricing for everything and played the music I wanted to listen to while they worked. Absolutely go here if you’re looking for a great dentist experience. Small office and team that are all genuinely excited to have you there.

Dr. Alex is a dental mastermind ! He pulled my wisdom tooth in about 30 seconds with NO pain or complications. He saved me from a root canal and is so gentle yet efficient. As a medical professional myself his passion for his work is inspiring. Can’t say enough great things!! I’ll never wait to go to the dentist again.

I had a great experience with Dr. Alex. Marina was very accommodating and I was easily able to schedule an evening appointment that fit my work schedule. The office itself is very clean and beautifully/creatively decorated. Dr. Alex was very warm and welcoming. His dental assistant, Catherine, was so sweet and put my nerves at ease! I definitely recommend, as the cleaning was gentle yet thorough.

What a great experience! I just got back from my first appointment with Dr. Shalman and it was such a pleasant experience. From the second I walked in I was greeted by a warm smile from Dr. Shalman and his wife Marina which made me feel extremely comfortable. Dr. Shalman gave me the most thorough cleaning I have ever received. He reviewed my xrays with me in detail. Marina even went out of her way to check with my insurance and discovered that Invisalign would be covered – something I never would have realized. They even have Sunday hours which is great for working people like me who find it difficult/impossible to make doctors appointments during the week. I highly recommend Dr. Shalman to anyone looking for a new dentist in the city.

I had an awesome experience here. The office is well-designed and comfortable with snacks and espresso offered. Everyone who worked here, including the dentist, was very nice. I also received a very thoughtful goody bag of stuff on the way out. Overall, great experience here!

My temporary crown fell out while visiting NYC from San Francisco Bay area over the Thanksgiving week. I am grateful for my daughter’s referral to Dr. Shalman. He and his staff were most kind and comforting over the circumstance. The sparkling clean and charming decor further helped me relax. Dr. Shalman’s gentle manner calmed my nerves and he assured me that the procedure would be simple and painless. He was absolutely right. Dr. Shalman was most professional in my treatment and the temporary crown stayed on well, so I had a most enjoyable Thanksgiving dinner with family. I highly recommend Dr. Shalman to anyone looking for a caring and professional home town dentist.

I know, I know it’s embarrassing, but I haven’t been to the dentist in almost two years. So it goes without saying I was nervous, but rewarded form my courage. Dr. Shalman. Has everything I would ever need to feel comfortable, from wifi, phone charger, music, expresso, treats and even Netflix (seriously Netflix). The cleaning was painless, super professional and quick. The back of the office operation was equally impressive. I never once thought that I may be hit was a huge bill, because everything was explained beautifully. It was not your ordinary dentist office or visit! It had swag!

Dr Alex without a doubt is one the best orthodontist in NY! He only tells the honest and complete truth about what you need for your teeth. I broke a small piece of my tooth, zero pain, zero swelling. He will not give you anything you do not need! I would most definitely recommend him to anyone. His office is clean and very warming and the staff are so nice.

I just can’t say enough great things about this practice, the staff and dr. shalman. My teeth have never looked better and I love how they don’t try to convince you to fix anything that doesn’t need fixing. Location is super convenient and the office is really nice. He’s fast too and works on Sundays! Perfect for my super busy schedule. Totally recommend!

Hey guys! My name is Emily samuel and I’m a personal trainer in NYC! I just got treated by Dr. alex shalman (@alexshalman) and I couldn’t be happier. I have an actual phobia of going to doctors and dentists – (one factor because I pass out every single time I get a shot). Dr. Alex made me feel SO comfortable and at ease- for the first time in YEARS, I did not pass out from getting a shot… and he gave me 3!!!! His office is also extremely homey and warm. It’s very intimate and you’ll never have to wait to be called in. Dr. Alex is professional, on time, and was extremely gentle with me. To all my friends near and far- dr.alex is the best you’ll find. I will be referring all my celebrity clients, family, and friends to him. After I got a procedure done by him, he texted me later on that night to check in on me- Dr alex genuinely cares about each and every one of his patients. I SWEAR by this guy and will easily name him #1 DENTIST IN NYC!!!!! GO SEE HIM FOR ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING!

Dr. Shalman was – hands down – the best dentist I’ve ever been to in my life. I got there early as I had an hour to kill and he welcomed me in, offered to hang up my coat, offered to make me an espresso, and his lobby was nicer than any cafe I’ve ever been to. The manner in which his staff and he worked with me on my teeth and my worries and my priorities was second to none. I hope I get to go to Dr. Shalman for a long time in the future – he is simply the best dentist I’ve ever been to in my life. I was floored by his office and raved about it to my friends afterwards. Best medical experience I’ve had yet

I’ve never enjoyed going to the dentist so much before. Dr. Shalman is very professional and does an amazing job making sure you know exactly what’s going on with your teeth. The office staff is incredibly friendly and the office is cozy and beautiful. I like that they were very transparent with exactly what services I was getting. They also let me pick my music for the appointment, which was nice. I would absolutely recommend them to friends and family. 🙂

I came to Dr. Shalman for a teeth whitening and the experience felt less like a dentist appointment and more like a day spa. First off, the office feels like a luxury hotel with impeccable design, lounge, and decor. Alex and his assistant had me set up right away, no wait, and sat me comfortably with my choice of Netflix movies to watch during the process. My teeth never looked so good, and I actually had a hard time leaving I was so relaxed! Five stars all around, HIGHLY recommend paying Dr. Shalman a visit.

Dr. Alex Shalman is “hands-down” the best dentist in NYC. From the moment you walk into the office- you know you have been transformed to a new kind of dentistry. As a kid, my visit to the dentist was less than good. Cue 3 hour waiting periods without seeing the dentist for more than 3 minutes. That could not be more different than the reality it is to work with Dr. Alex. The doctor greets you at the door with a hug and a kiss. He makes you feel welcome and then you are immersed in the gorgeous atmosphere that is his office. His staff is so lovely and attentive. Then, you get to the really great part which is the actual service. You get to watch your Netflix of choice as he takes meticulous care of you. I went in for a teeth whitening and it was a divine experience. I cannot believe I would say such a thing about an experience with a dentist! But- with Dr. Alex- it’s easy to say such great things. My smile is extremely important to me as I am an author, speaker, attorney and often pictured and interviewed on camera and in magazines. Fifteen stars to Dr. Alex!!! Remember to SMILE!!

Best experience ever at a dentist. Dr. Shalman is exceptional. I felt safe, cared for and his patience was extraordinary. I have many problems. He systematically handled all and beautifuly. I love his assistant, Jessica. The office has a comfortable chill vibe, great music…I could go and on… More importantly, anyone who needs care…this is where to go!

I would ABSOLUTELY Recommend Dr. Shalman for anything from check-ups, cleanings and fillings – to advanced dental work. Having gone to Many specialists across the city and abroad and being a knowledgeable dental patient, I can tell you he knows his stuff! Most important of all, he Really Cares. He took the time to listen, to really understand the psychological problems, fear, etc. This is Not a run-in, run-out assembly line like many others in NYC. He saw me twice in one day and this was on 24hrs notice as a new patient. The warmth, caring, EMPATHY he exhibits is incredible. If you want a truly caring professional – go to Dr. Shalman

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Alex and his staff! I was greeted by a wonderful office manager/secretary who showed me to the waiting room, where there was coffee, water and snacks. I was seen right away and Dr. Alex’s assistant asked me what music I would like turned on during my appointment. Dr. Alex was incredibly personable and was vocal the entire time throughout the appointment, letting me know exactly was going to happen next during the cleaning. I will definitely be going back and recommending to colleagues and friends

I have always had a little bit of a phobia with going to the dentist but I had an amazing experience with Dr. Shalman and his staff. Very attentive and caring, I was comfortable the entire appointment and actually enjoyed it. Actually looking forward to coming here for future appointments and recommending to my friends in the area.

I’ve been in the dental industry for 2 1/2 years now and even though I know my way around an office I still hate booking my own visits. I made the switch from my childhood doctor of 27 years and I’m upset I didn’t make it sooner. Dr. Shalman’s patient care, dental knowledge, and chair side manner are incredible. I know there are procedures I will have to get done but I wasn’t pressured to get them do them or schedule them today. All his equipment is top of the line and he’s on the cutting edge of everything and can take care of all your needs.

I went to see Dr. Shalman for my yearly check and cleaning, and it was a very smooth experience. He was very thorough and patient, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The clinic is hip and fun – definitely don’t feel like you’re in a traditional dentist’s office! I highly recommend him for all of your aesthetic dental needs.

I came Across Dr. Shalman from Instagram 🙂 and I am sooo Happy I found him! For many, going to the dentist can be so annoying and painful that they don’t even get their bi annual checkups. I went in for a cleaning and a set of X-rays and I couldn’t be more pleased! Dr. Shalman was super gentle, which is very important to me since I can be the biggest baby, and have super low pain tolerance. He made me feel very at ease and talked me through everything he was doing. One thing I really liked is that he wasn’t rushed, he literally took 5 minutes with one tooth, made sure he didn’t move to the next until that one was sparkly clean. His assistant Christine is extremely sweet and professional. She was able to accommodate me even with my insane schedule, also reminded me of my appointment the day before. The office is super clean and welcoming. As I waked in I was offered a cappuccino while I get to watch Netflix in the waiting area. Dosent get better than that!l Overall, I had an amazing experience. During check out I was given a copy of my treatment plan which was explained to me in great detail. Honestly I can’t wait until my next visit. If you are looking for a dentist who actually cares about his quality of work and his patients I highly recommend Dr. Shalman

From the minute I walked into the door, I felt welcome by Dr. Shalman and his team. Everyone is friendly, accommodating and upfront about everything (something I find to be extremely rare with dentists). The office is clean, really well decorated and you even get to pick what music plays while Dr. Shalman works on you! The team makes it a great experience and I highly recommend going here.

I have had 2 cleanings and 4 cavities filled! Fun environment and extremely profession. They treat all their clients like family as they walk in the door. I never wanted to go to the dentists before, I met Dr. Alex and his sweet wife Marina. Highly recommended. He comes from a long line of dentist in his family. He knows the best products and offers the kindest service. He made getting cavities filled a breeze- and i am normally a hugee baby when it comes to fillings #TeamDR.Alex
