PATIENT REVIEWS

My true true feelings: I have absolutely have all great feelings about the office. The staff goes above and beyond in not only doing his/her job but also being friendly and helpful. I know more than I ever needed to know about dental care and what procedures are done to help solve what problems. They don’t need to take the time to do that but they do that. I have my charges explained, my procedures explained with no issues or no “I don’t have time for this” attitudes. They ask me for updates too. About what I am doing, what trips I am taking. They don’t seem to care just for the sake of appearances.

Beyond dentistry compared to other dental offices, is exactly like comparing staying at the Four Seasons, versus a Holiday Inn. Well, I suppose you would never know what you are missing unless you actually STAY at the four seasons at least once. I have been to many dentists in my life (I am 46 years old) and I have NEVER considered the possibility that a visit to the dentist could actually be ENJOYABLE. From the waiting room design & the decor, to the way they make you feel while you are in the chair. I can honestly say that this was BY FAR the absolute best experience that I’ve had in my entire life. Dr Morgan was thorough, informative, attentive, patient and understanding. Not to mention spot on!! AMAZING! I avoid going to the dentist like the plague! If I was there is because I HAD TO. And even though they drilled on my mouth for 15 minutes, after I left I felt pampered, accomplished, safe and Oh so happy that I had chosen Dr. Herman instead of another doctor who was more main stream.

I switched to Dr. Herman about a year ago because I joined a dental HMO that my previous dentist wouldn’t accept. I’ve now had enough work done to conclude that Dr. Herman’s skills and experience are in a very high league. He’s got very good hands, and is self-assured, pleasant, and decisive when he works. Regarding the negative review of his business ethics, all I can say is that his office has honored all the pricing and co-pays of my plan, and there were no surprises. So, based on the past year I’ve been with him, about five or six visits, I can recommend him with confidence.

When I was a kid, the dentist I went to had an assistant who caused me so much pain I dreaded going every time and for years after. And I brushed regularly and never had cavities. I don’t know if she was incompetent or hated me. When I moved to New York about 5 years ago, I was looking for a dentist and chose one on my dental plan a few blocks from where I lived. That dentist was Dr. Herman, back when his offices were on 57th. And it has been the exact opposite experience of my childhood. He is always upbeat and the dental hygienists are great. Very gentle, with little bleeding and almost no pain. No pressure to get “additional” services, friendly srevice and my dental plan (cigna) covers all expenses. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I look forward to a cleaning every 6 months, but I always leave with a smile on my face.

The Herman’s have created a dentist office that is at first welcoming and then educating. They advised me of what the procedure would entail and then carried it out with precision. Dr. Morgan wouldn’t let me out of the chair until she was sure my crown fit perfectly. She showed more professionalism with a caring follow up call. I highly recommend their services

Following a bad experience with another dentist in NY a friend suggested this place and bingo they accept my insurance plan. The staff here are very friendly and the x ray was painless and quick . With x rays top hand and after an oral examination Dr Herman discussed his concerns and brought up a few ‘ to do’s’ . But other than that he was charming , informative and restored my faith in dentistry again . Now to the clean . I swear I floss every day , but never the less this hygienist went to work like a warrior and probably gave me the best cleaning I ever had . We now have a love hate relationship . I hate her for the duration of the clean and love her once she finished. Contrary to some bad previous press about this place I honestly enjoyed my experience and will be back in 6 months for another clean . Pretty swanky location on Central Park , be careful its dangerously close to Todd English food hall. I admit it i went straight from Dentist to Lady M next door . I am so weak . Oh and look out for the candy jar on the reception desk …see its not all bad !

I love Dr. Herman! I took a lot of time choosing a dentist – reviewing their background, patient testimonials and online research. Dr. Herman seemed well regarded when I scheduled my first appointment back in 2006. Unless I were to move outside of NYC, I wouldn’t think of switching dentists ever. He has a fantastic professional manner. I agree with Hank – he’s always pleasant and well-spoken. His receptionists are quick to respond to billing inquiries, etc and always provide me with my requested forms. I have Invisalign, so I go to the dentist more often than usual- every 3 months rather than 6. I don’t dread my appointsments. Rather, I look forward to swapping travel stories with Dr. Herman. I have always recommended him to my co-workers and friends alike. Also, his office is close to Central Park – the scenery is always lovely : – )

Dr. Michael Herman and his staff are absolutely amazing!!! I had come there from a Brooklyn dentist (who shall remain nameless) who told me after I complained that I had a whaling toothache that nothing was wrong with me. I went to work the following day in excruciating pain and looked for another dentist my closer to my job. I called Dr. Herman’s office and they were able to see me within a couple of hours. When I walked in I was greeted by both receptionists who were extremely courteous and very knowledgeable. Dr. Herman saw me and knew right away what the issue was, sent me to an oral surgeon and I was on my way! Because of my past experience I knew that my insurance would not cover an extraction and let the receptionist know. She told me right away that that was not so and that she would call my insurance to make sure. I was covered!! I paid $90 to get to teeth pulled instead of paying out of pocket!! A few months later I went to see him for my routine cleaning. When I called his next available was Aug 4th yikes! I asked the receptionist if there were any other appointments and she informed me of a cancellation for the very next day. I arrived minutes before my appointment and was seen about ten minutes after that. I saw Christina the dental hygienist and she was awesome! She took her time with me and was very gentle. She asked every few seconds if I was OK as she scrapped away. Overall experience….Fantastic!! I am glad I only have to go twice a year but Dr. Herman and his staff make it easy to do so.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Herman for at least 5 years. While I’m sure some people have had a bad experience, almost all of my visits were as good as going to the dentist can be. The staff is always nice. They are almost always on time. They all take the time to sit and speak with me. When it is suggested, either by the technician or the dentist, that I should consider some preventative work, they are always okay with me taking a “wait and see” position instead of rushing my decision. For work that is done, they get the pre-approval from my insurance and then call me to follow up with the information and any out-of-pocket expense I may incur…and they tell me up front. I am made to feel comfortable each time I’m there. They even take notes about our discussions to bring them up at my next appointment! A former co-worker of mine recommended this dentist to me, and I would have no problem recommending him to anyone else.

The best dentist I’ve ever had. 5 stars is not enough for Beyond Dentistry NYC. I’ve had a lot of work done with Dr. Michael Herman, including 6 new laminates. Dr. Herman is exceptional, and a great guy. Christine is an incredible dental hygienist – she is gentle, yet thorough. Maddy is an excellent assistant. The team at Beyond Dentistry have all exceeded my expectations and I’m a client for life. Highly recommended for critical cosmetic work, as well as routine dental maintenance, cleaning and whitening. For the first time in my life, I look forward to going to the dentist. You will have a completely new experience at the dentist. Book a visit to Beyond Dentistry with confidence and great results.
Review by CL, NYC

I have been a patient of Dr. Herman for over 15 years. He always treated me very professional and with the highest respect. Some 1 and 2 stars reviews on this site are absolutely not tru. Is he a cheap dentist, no he is not. But he is no more expensive than other dentists. His senior office manager is a fantastic woman who tells you how and what it is and how much the cost will be if it is not covered by insurance. You either take it or leave it. For anyone who dislike Dr. Herman go look for another dentist.

I love this dentist.  He’s always listened to my concerns, examined me thoroughly, is fun, and never pushed me into procedures or treatments I don’t need.  He even talked me off the ledge about having my wisdom teeth out (previous dentist said it was necessary…10 years later, turns out I’m just fine as is).  His hygienists are super nice, and his staff is very very efficient and pleasant.  I always get an appointment quickly and have never been billed for anything unusual.

Compassionate and Professional dental office. Everyone from billing, hygienist and dentist are the best. We have been using them for years and had everything from Invisalign to major repairs. We have always felt comfortable (painless) !! Dr. Morgan saved one of my teeth that others would have broken. Dr.Michael has an eagle eye that can diagnose problems across the room. Highly recommend !!

I was accepted as a new patient a few weeks ago. Communication between the office and myself was instant (Carol called me immediately after I booked my first exam online). It had been 18mths since my last dental appointment and in the process I had done some damage. I had major sensitivity issues and I had been avoiding eating on the right side of my mouth for quite some time. I ended up needing 3 fillings AND some bond work. Dr. Herman’s daughter, the other Dr. Herman, took great care of me. She explained exactly what needed to be done and she took the time to educate me on the preventive care of my teeth and my gums. I try to avoid Novocain and although she didn’t believe me at first, she respected my wishes but let it be known that we could stop at any time and use it if I needed it. I had NO pain during my visit. That night I chewed on my right side again, and I ate ice cream, and I drank cold water…ALL pain free!! I followed up that visit with a general cleaning and Fluoride treatment. Again, I received wonderful care and more proactive advice. The text reminders and confirmations are very helpful and ALL of my appointments took place during my lunch hour so it couldn’t have been more convenient for me. I am a little surprised at the amount of chocolate available in the office but I guess that it is good for business, however they don’t need that to keep me coming back. They have a regular patient in me until I leave this city. Seriously, this place rocks!

Been going to him since I was 18 im 52 now if you want the best he is the best.. also unlike other places you may go to he doesnt have rude people at the front desk, they represent him well and know what it means to have good customer service. I left my primary drs office, I was also going to since I was 18 over the front desk being rude. Love me some Michael Herman.

I sweated this appointment big time. I had nightmares about it. It had been a number of years since my last professional cleaning and that was because I had fainted during it. Seriously. I am not a good patient. Too many times, I have been pressured into hard sell situations with worst case scenario threats of tooth loss that scare me off the dentist for years at a time. Plus, I am not a “regular” flosser (I know – bad Lauren). Everyone at Dr. Herman’s office was so professional and reassuring. No one tried to sell me anything. In fact, they told me all of those other operations were just trying to scam me. I was so relieved. Yes, I have some dental issues that I was already aware of – but at least they didn’t make up any new ones. And while no one gave me a prize for my flossing skills, I wasn’t berated either. Thank you so much! See you in 6 months!!!!

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Herman and his staff. I had my first appointment with them on October 3rd. I was taken in for X-rays immediately after I checked in. This was by far the best cleaning I’ve ever had. I was really impressed. I was happy that Dr. Herman examined my teeth before the cleaning. He was attentive and actively listened to my concerns.

I am very surprised to see poor reviews of Dr. Herman and felt the need to post. I have been seeing Dr. Herman for 10+ years and have always found his services to be top notch. He always alleviates my anxiety about procedures and I have never had any issues or complaints. His staff is loyal and friendly. His hygienist is very careful and has scheduled several follow-up sessions (covered by insurance) to ensure we stayed on top of my gum health. I would recommend the office highly.

Dr. Herman is simply awesome!  I have always been apprehensive about going to the dentist, and dread my appointments for weeks leading up to it. But my entire experience with Dr. Herman’s office was nothing short of (dare I say) fun? I was still nervous as I waited in the expertly-decoracted waiting room, though the Tao Vegas Lounge music did help to relax me and I actually briefly forgot I was waiting to see a dentist. But as soon as Dr. Herman walked into the room and shook my hand, I was instantly at ease.  He has such an easy way about him, something very likable, (great sense of humor,) and just seemed like a really nice guy. We chatted about our families, (he has 3 daughters, one of whom is practicing as a dentist in his office now and is also amazing!,) and then he did the exam.  Unfortunately, I had a cavity, (as the wonderful hygienist had already indicated during my cleaning,) and he filled it for me on the spot.  As a person who absolutely hates dental work, I have to say, Dr. Herman worked quickly and confidently, and with almost no pain- the injection barely hurt and after that, it was smooth sailing. I will definitely be going back to this office to see Dr. Herman(s) and the awesome hygienist every six months.
