PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. Sachs is an amazing dentist.  Any work he has done for me over the years has been of the highest standard.  He recently completed my first implants.  He was very patient explaining to me the process, how long to expect the work to take and the expense.  He worked in partnership with Dr. Irwin Levy, who was the oral surgeon.  Dr. Levy also shares the same high standards as Dr. Sachs.  Dr. Sachs always uses the most advanced state of the art imaging tools for any of the work that he does.  He will never settle for a fit that is anything less than perfection.  After the implants were inserted, I couldn’t believe how natural they felt and looked.

I have been seeing Dr. Sachs and Dr. Cruz for over 15 years and they are incredible. Both are compassionate, knowledgeable and meticulous in their work. I trust them both without question and fully endorse this practice. Also, the staff is super professional and sets a warm and competent tone from the moment you walk in.

Dr Joseph Sachs has been my family’s Dentist for over 15 years now and couldn’t be happier. Him and his staff are extremely professional, attentive and very accommodating. I have to drive into the City for our appointments but it’s so worth it to us. I would never consider replacing him for anybody else, not matter the distance. His office is so clean and love that they keep up on the latest technology, which is another plus! I highly recommend Dr Sachs to all my family and friends!

Awesome dentist (Dr. Sachs and Dr. Cruz) with a totally awesome support staff. Dr. Sachs has done two crowns for me (same day with no wait, he has all the latest technology as another review mentioned). Recently I sent my friend who was experiencing such severe pain over the weekend. Called on late Friday just before the office closed and they worked hard to fit him in by Saturday morning which was a life saver. The person answering the phone explained to him what to expect in terms of the cost because he has no idea how ins. works. They even went so far as to help him have xrays from his out of town dentist transferred so that he could save money on xrays. Dr. Cruz solved the problem right away and then filled a prescription electronically which was waiting for him before he even made it to the pharmacy. Dr. Cruz’s treatment and the prescription for an infection had him feeling 100% better by the next day. This office knows how to take care of business quick, efficiently and puts the patient’s needs first. Simply amazed at how they made an out of town patient visiting for the weekend feel like a patient who they have known forever.

Going to the dentist is usually not something people look forward to. I can honestly say that I look forward to visiting Dr. Sachs. The office is spotless, has the most updated and modern equipment that is to be had, and the staff is wonderful. I love the fact that when I needed a crown they were able to build a new one for me all in one visit. I highly recommend you give them a try. You will realize what you’ve been missing all these years!!!

Because of Covid, I decided not to travel uptown to see my regular dentist, as I would have to use public transportation and once there would have to get on an office elevator. I still don’t really feel safe doing both. So after speaking with some people in my building 2 names came up. Dr Cruz and Dr Sachs both in the same office and a few blocks away from where i live in chelsea, and also on the ground floor! What else could i have asked for. I must say I was super impressed with the way they set up the office with social distancing measures and other safety ones. The gal at the front desk Aphrodita was super friendly and nice and made me feel very comfortable as i was anxious about coming to a new practice. After filling out some forms (which she was kind enough to help me with as I never used a digital pad!) i was taken into a very clean room where the dental asst. Gabriel took xrays and he too was so nice. My hygenist Paige was a doll and was gentle and patient with me and gave me an excellent cleaning. She was very knowledgable and i was most impressed with her skills. Now, to Dr Cruz, a real gentle soul of a person. He reassured me my teeth and gums were fine after reviewing the xrays etc. and that all i really needed was a good cleaning which i got and a followup cleaning in 6 months. All in all it was a home run for me being a few blocks away from my apartment and having this excellent experience at their office. I would definitely recommend them to everyone. They are really tops in my books. I also heard Dr. Cruz’s partner in the practice Dr. Sachs is just as excellent as Dr. Cruz so you can’t go wrong with either one of them.

Dr Sachs saved me! I tripped and fell and chipped my two front teeth. I was immediately seen by Dr Sachs and he gave me natural temporaries. The procedure was painless and Dr Sachs was very calming. He reassured me everything was going to be okay and gave me a plan for my permanent teeth. I got my teeth cleaned and bleached in my next few appointments and the hygienist and assistant were lovely. Soon after I got my permanent teeth and they look even better than my original teeth! I can’t recommend him enough!

I’ve been coming to Dr Sachs and Dr Cruz for about 20 yrs now. I love the attention and I always look forward in my regular 6 months appointments. Everyone is always friendly and knowledgeable. There always up to date with the latest technology. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone.

Dr Sachs and Dr Cruz are amazing dentists! Take that from someone who really has despised going to dentists for most of his life. They both have a very calming manner and are honest in thier manner. Dr Sachs and Dr Cruz are both extremely thorough and dedicated.The whole support staff are also very professional too. I have been going here since 2005 and would recommend to ALL my family and friends. The office is spotless. This is the only dentist that I wish to go to in NYC.

Always a great experience. Everybody in the office is wonderful, Dr. Sachs always goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable during the procedure. He managed to save my tooth and have a crown ready in an hour. Try and find that somewhere else. N.B. – The crown is perfect. Looks just like the original tooth.

I have been seeing Dr. Sachs for about two years and I am a fan. I hate going to the dentist, so it’s no small recommendation on my part to recommend this office. Here are some of the reasons you should go to Dr. Sachs: – Good work on my teeth, for the most part painlessly. I have had cavities refilled, chips fixed, a bridge, and a deep cavity filled that Dr. Sach’s saved from having to be a root canal. – Dr. Sach’s definitely takes his time to make sure the work he is doing is perfect. We spent a lot of time making sure my bridge was perfect, and I really appreciate that, as it cost me a lot of money. – Dr. Sach’s uses the newest technology. Gone is the putty to take an impression of your teeth. Hello laser technology to perfectly map your teeth and create the perfect custom cap, or bridge in my case. – Dr. Sach’s is a bit of a chatty-kathy, and I find this to be a comforting trait in someone digging around in my mouth with a mini power drill. – Dr. Sach’s responds to calls to his emergency service pretty darn quickly. – Good recommendations for specialist. I needed all four wisdom teeth pulled and Dr. Sachs’s hooked me up with Dr. Ward (see my Yelp review), who is a god among oral surgeons. – Danny, the Dental Hygienists has a good attitude and does not berate you for your recent imperfect flossing habits. He gently nudges you to floss more regularly, dropping hints throughout the cleaning on ways to incorporate more flossing into your daily routine, and by the end of the appointment I always leave swearing I will take his advice and floss more. The only downside to this office is sometimes you end up waiting a bit past your scheduled time to be seen.

I have been a patient of Dr. Sachs for over 15 years, and I can honestly say that he changed my life with the work he has done for me. I have always had issues with my teeth – being soft & having gaps between them. My last dentist never addressed the cosmetic aspects of my teeth that have always bothered me, and when a friend recommended Dr. Sachs all those years ago, I went, not knowing what to expect – but Dr. Sachs walked in, introduced himself and listened to all my concerns and issues with my teeth. After examining me and taking x-rays, he worked out a plan that worked for both of us, (there was a lot to fix) and since that day, I can honestly say that Dr. Sachs is the best dentist I have ever met in my entire life. He helped me achieve what no other dentist ever did – finally get those teeth that make you happy and want to smile again. He is professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and courteous. His office is immaculate. His staff are helpful and attentive and always reminding me about appointments and helping with insurance and payments. When I go to see Dr. Sachs now, it seems like everyone there is extended family since I’ve known them for so many years. Dr. Sachs – you have this patient for life.

Amazing first visit , best dentist visit I have ever had. Lovely friendly reception staff in a nice building , quick and efficient with paperwork. Very quick service on x rays again very friendly. Wonderful hygienist who did a fantastic job and Dr Sachs is just so nice and makes you feel very welcome. Explained all my options for work and possible whitening and cosmetic options and exactly what insurance covered and did not.
Great great experience

I chipped my front tooth while away. I contacted Dr Sachs office and his effecient assistant quickly scheduled an appt for me after reviewing the photo I sent to them. Once there Dr Sachs gave me a few options. I left it for him to decide. I trust him to always make the proper call. And of course I walked out happy with the work done. I have been visiting this office for over 10yrs. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my sparkling pearls. Thanks Dr Sachs!

I highly recommend Dr. Sachs! He is an honorable dentist who takes good care of his patients. There was an issue with my crown because the space for the tooth was so tight and I contacted Dr. Sachs to let him know nearly 3 years after the service. He had me come back in right away and fixed the problem free of charge. He stands by his work and he understands the importance of maintaining good relationships with his patients. He’s quite a gem!

Amazing experience every time , warm and friendly staff , high tech equipment and the brilliant Dr Sachs who is nearing the end of giving me a fantastic smile. Dr Cruz is great too except he gave me all the injections lol BUT I felt no pain or discomfort at all. These guys deliver on what they tell you they can do. I cannot speak highly enough of them

As a dental patient, I am no picnic (nervous, jumpy, avoidant (canceling appointments and even a complete no show at an appointment once, etc.). I”ve gotten better over the years in large part due to Dr. Sachs and Dr. Cruz. They are professional, empathic, smart, kind and prioritize their patients’ comfort and the results of their work. For years, I was petrified to deal with a front tooth that was becoming increasingly discolored (after a root canal and surgery over a decade ago). Dr. Cruz assured me (repeatedly) it would be okay and that it would look much better if I would let him crown it. Due to prior surgery many years back and resulting gum loss, it has been a process to get the permanent crown perfectly shaped. Dr. Cruz has been amazing during this process. He has worked with the lab, provided countless impressions and photos, had many discussions, etc., to ensure the best possible result. All the while, he has been extremely patient, kind and communicative with me during the process. The result is great — a better smile and no longer feeling self conscious. I truly trust these doctors; they are top notch and the real deal.

After having a really horrible experience with my last dentist, my colleague recommend I visit Dr. Sachs to fix the work of my previous dentist. Dr. Sachs was great! He compared my previous x-ray (which I received from my last dentist) and compared it with the current one…he then went tooth by tooth to explain what had been done and what he needed to fix. One of the problems I was having was that my previous dentist had botched up a filling which was next to a pre-existing crown, potentially damaging the crown (which was super pricey to being with). Long story short, Dr. Sachs re-did the fillings (pain-free) and found a way to save the crown so I didn’t have to shell out an extra $900. He is great at communication, is extremely trustworthy, and has a great sense of humor. Additionally, because I was getting some “re-work” done his staff was very diligent about investigating my insurance coverage beforehand so that there weren’t any surprises.  I am extremely happy I visited him.

I’m a new patient of Dr.Sachs couldn’t be more happy with the service I received last week. Having been a loyal patient to my dentist in Philadelphia for many years, I thought it was time to find the right dentist here in NYC. Dr.Sachs’s team emailed all of the intake forms prior to my visit which make my introduction to the office fast and efficient. I also appreciate all of the Covid safety protocol and questions that are asked before you enter the office and once you arrive. As for the x-rays, cleaning and exam, the tech, hygienists, and Dr. Sachs, were so lovely, gentle and thorough. My pearly whites are happy again and I am grateful to have found this team.

I have been a patient of Dr. Sachs for over 20 years. Over that time I have recommended several family members and friends and have only received positive feedback. Over the past year I have had extensive dental work, involving implants, root canals and several crowns. Through that time Dr. Sachs has been his usual caring, professional self and has made the experience easier than you would expect. I’m hoping to see Dr. Sachs for at least another 20 years. I also think very highly of the whole staff, Dr. Cruz the dental hygienists and support staff. You could not pay me to try another dentist. Definitely 10 stars!!!

This dental practice in three words: efficient, professional, and (how is this possible?) fun. I have a life-long series of dental problems, and moving to NYC thirty years ago to work as a teaching artist meant I went for years without consistent dental care. Fifteen years ago I finally found employment with dental insurance- I walked around the corner and into this neighborhood dental practice and have been under the caring (!) and utterly professional care of Dr. Sachs and his staff ever since. Dr. Sachs consistently goes above and beyond when it comes to my dental care- I’ve read and enthusiastically second every positive review regarding the care, trust, and professionalism of this dental practice. Having spent my entire life in the hands of more dentists than I care to recall, and possessing more uniquely challenging dental issues than the average patient, I consider myself extremely fortunate indeed to have Dr. Sachs as my dentist– and his office is right around the corner from my apartment! I cannot recommend this dental practice highly enough- hands down, the BEST (and hardest working!) dentist I have ever had over the course of my long checkered dental history.

Dr Sachs is by far my favorite dentist and is a keeper! Him and his staff are very professional and personable. Office is very clean and cozy. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Sachs to my friends, family and anyone who may ask.

INCREDIBLE SERVICE/GREAT COSMETIC WORK I have been a patient at this wonderful Chelsea Dental Practice for over 10 years, so I have seen my fare share of dental treatment. I have to honestly say that before I went to Dr. Joseph Sachs office, I didn’t have a good opinion of dentists, but I do not feel that way anymore. Dr Sachs is definitely a name I trust. I knew a few people that had gone to his practice and had some amazing cosmetic work done. So I went in to investigate. I was met with courteous staff, and professionalism. Dr Sachs put my mind at ease about everything. Whether you need a lot of work or general maintenance, I recommend this dental practice exuberantly. Dr Sachs also does some amazing cosmetic work, while putting your mind at ease about the process. They are very diligent and knowledgeable about insurance billing and the office works very efficiently. They have financing through Carecredit which really helped me. Dr. Sachs was very honest about what was necessary to bring me back to dental health even though I may not have wanted to hear it at first. He instills in his patient’s the importance of taking care oneself. I had a rough time in the past with my teeth and at other offices. Some because of the dentist and some because my teeth were also cosmetically a disaster. I knew I was in for a potentially costly endeavor, but after some work and a few bills, I am now smiling again. It was worth every cent, from the service to the final result.

I have genetically weak teeth, a fear of the dentist, love for sweets…a recipe for tooth decay, and had bad dental work done all my life. So I needed more than just fillings replaced, etc.; there was a lot of work that needed to be done. Enter Dr. Joseph Sachs. I became aware of Dr. Sachs when my teeth had gotten so bad that I was embarrassed to even smile; not a good thing for anyone, but especially bad for a litigator. I knew it was time for me to see a really good dentist. This was about 15+ years ago, and I must tell you that I was only looking for a good dentist; the thought that there might be an exceptional dentist never even occurred to me. I am not the kind of person that is prone to overstatement or exaggeration; I choose my words carefully and with precision. By “exceptional” I mean better than anyone I could have possibly imagined, and in every aspect of his expertise, personality, approach, empathy, and touch. Dr. Sachs is that rare professional who not only an expert in his field, but is detail oriented and a terrific communicator. In my opinion, Dr. Sachs is the paradigm of what a dentist should be. He actively listened to me and understood my concerns/fears. He educated me and respected my time, and he maintains a clean office with an equally terrific staff. Of paramount importance to me is that he genuinely cares and is a perfectionist in his work (which is masterful). I met Dr. Sachs through a recommendation from one of my colleagues. Of immediate concern were a host of issues, but, to cut to the chase, I required many root canals, caps and I cannot imagine going through what I did with anyone other than Dr. Sachs. Because of my situation, I understood at the time that I would need implants in 10-12 years. When that time hit (a little over 2 years ago, I put it off (let’s be honest, I love Dr. Sachs, but does anyone really WANT to have an implant?). Actually, I needed several implants and could not put it off any longer because I understood the negative effect on the jaw bone that occurs from failing to timely address the need for an implant. Dr. Sachs works very closely with a dental surgery office he recommends, so, I visited with their office and found them to be equally incredible, and in conjunction with Dr. Sachs, I had all of the necessary implants completed. Not only was the work relatively painless and completed on schedule, but most importantly, I can honestly say that I could not be happier with the entire process, and especially the result. All I can add is a sincere and heartfelt thank you Dr. Sachs…much love and respect for the work you do! They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, so…see for yourself!

Cracked a molar and was seen within hours. Dr Sachs re-shaped/prepped the molar for a crown that was made on-the-spot/in-house within an hour…and it was perfect. Crown’s in his office are made within an hour using a laser wand measuring device (CAD 3D?) that perfectly replicates the exact dimensions of your tooth (before and after re-shape prepping). This minimizes your time spent in office, avoiding multiple visits. Time saved, excellent results, great staff, and one-stop shop. Thanks much to Dr Sachs and staff! PS-The crown is PERFECT!

I really think that five stars is hard to earn… And I have been to more Dentists than I would care to ever know in my life.. Dr. Sachs definitely earns every single star! Okay… not cheap! He is a NYC dentist. But he is worth every penny. He looked at my teeth and could tell exactly which dentist had done which work. He has a great way of making conversation to keep your mind off the work – but truthfully he also one of the best at administering the shot of numbing that I have ever had. His work is impeccable and his office is very clean.. two things that are very important to me! His staff is very pleasant and easy to work with. I am so happy I found his office and unfortunately I will be seeing them again… but I am happy to have them.

Dr. Sachs is absolutely fantastic. And so is Dr. Cruz and ALL the staff. When my front tooth (veneer) cracked a week before my trip to Asia, no one would fix it. “Oh, that will take two weeks,” several dentists told me. In three business days, Dr. Sachs fixed the broken tooth, took impressions and got the new veneer in place. And it looks gorgeous. Stunning. Dr. Sachs is a brilliant dentist. And he is charming and gracious–and very funny! All the staff is warm and caring. And he has all the latest equipment. I wish I had discovered him years ago.

I have gotten my teeth cleaned here twice. Both times I was able to make an appointment in a reasonable amount of time. They assist very nicely and the process of getting started there is very easy, as is check in each time I go. The staff is extremely friendly and see you on-time. The dental hygienists I have had are gentle, thorough and very nice. They know exactly what to do and do it in a timely manner. The dentist then comes in and spends time reviewing, and chatting. Both dentists I have had are very friendly and knowledgeable. They have made suggestions for anything I have asked and take their time to answer my questions. I would highly recommend Joseph S Sachs to anyone!

My doctor here is Dr. Cruz, and I give this place 5 stars because he is just amazing. I’ve had 3 root canals here and I didn’t think it could go as easily as they have. Dr. Cruz is very informative and makes sure you’re aware of everything that’s about to happen with the procedure. He’s comforting and wants to make sure you don’t feel pain and are comfortable. I definitely recommend him as a dentist, he makes me feel better about the mess of a tooth situation I have. He always has a way of making you feel like your problem can be solved and that you’ll be okay in the end. I hate going to the dentist. I once hadn’t gone in over 5 years, but he makes it worth it!

In a Manhattan there is plenty of dentist but no one like Dr. Sachs. Dr. Sachs is on in a billion. (And I truly mean it) He is the only dentist in New York that I have met so far, who cares for his patients like it was his own family. He always gives 110% on the job or even more BUT never less! He has an eye for perfection and he always aim to please. He has the latest technology to make your teeth look their best! His staff is courteous, friendly and knowledgeable. Why would you want to go somewhere else when this is what you want from your dentist? PERFECTION! Dr. Sachs rules! *If you don’t believe me, message me and I will answer all your questions.

I had been using another dentist for many years and have since become a loyal patient of Dr. Sachs. He consistently offers excellent guidance, is gracious and knowledgeable,  and has a marvelous personality. I have recommended Dr. Sachs and his team to friends, as I am confident they too would appreciate the terrific service. I was one of those people with a phobia of the dentist.  But knowing Dr. Sachs almost makes me look forward to a dentist visit!

I have been a patient of Dr Sachs for many years. He is by far and away the best dentist I’ve ever had (and there have been several). As something of a technology freak myself I am always impressed at his knowledge of the latest equipment on the market and how quickly he adopts new procedures. I just finished 18 months of intense dental work including implants following a bad fall. Dr Sachs was amazing every step of the way. So was Dr Cruz and also Maria. Dr Sachs recommended a terrific oral surgeon, Dr Levy. The people in the front office rarely seem to leave which is comforting and everyone has a positive attitude.

After seven years of awful dentist and worse hygienists, I finally found Dr Sachs. He does a neat job, cheerfully answers any questions, gives sound advice and doesn’t berate you for occasionally forgetting to floss. Everyone at the office is friendly and no one rushes you or makes you wait without explanation. My pearly(ish) whites feel safe and sound with Dr Sachs. Bonus points for a great sense of humor too. A little laughter goes a long way in dealing with having a drill in your mouth.

Dr.Sachs is about as good as it gets. His dedication to his profession is beyond reproach. He is dedicated to the latest technology, so that the dental experience, is caring, thoughtful and about as painless as it can get, considering how we are all so scared at going to our dentists. I have been going to Dr.Sachs for over 10 years, and I wouldn’t consider anyone else. He just gets its, and know how we all feel, so he and his team really make you feel comfortable. If your looking for a long term relationship with a great dentist, he is the one for you.

Been going for close to ten years. Not a bad thing to say about them. My primary there is Dr. Cruz but Dr. Sachs is great too. Nice staff, always responsive and not abrupt or rude like so many other places. And Dr. Cruz is the most gentle dentist I’ve ever know. If someone is going to stick a needle in my mouth, I want it to be Dr. Cruz.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
