PATIENT REVIEWS

Too bad there are only five stars to rate Dr. Burger, I would give him ten; his unsurpassed skill and artistry certainly deserve that! I had more than a few complicated problems, all of which were corrected, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. In addition, he is a gentleman’s gentleman, warm and caring, and is funny too.

I have been a patient since he has been in this practice. Besides being extremely skilled, knowledgeable, patient and compassionate, Dr Burger takes a conservative approach to dental care. I am always confident that whatever dental care is recommended is what I genuinely need. I have never had a problem with any of the work that Dr Burger has performed.

THIS DENTIST WILL WALK THE EXTRA MILE!…I recently underwent complex implant treatment with Dr. Donald Burger which presented some unique challenges. I have mobility problems and am an extreme gagger. The work required that I have an MRI taken in a hospital setting. Dr. Burger personally drove me to the location on his day off and refused to accept any additional compensation. I now can enjoy eating as I hadn’t been able to for several years thanks to the expert care of this caring and talented man.

Dr. Donald Burger is a fabulous dentist who knows what he is doing and is on top of all the latest techniques in dentistry. He and his office staff are kind and caring and it is always easy to get a hold the receptionist to make an appointment or to reach Dr. Burger to ask questions about treatment. Visiting the office conveniently located on 72nd and CPW, gives me a sense of calmness and security. I can’t recommend his office highly enough – indeed look no further! Thank you, Sasha Spielvogel

Everyone who works in Dr. Burger’s office does an exceptional job. Dr. Burger is the at the top of his game – the best dentist I’ve ever had; Gus is a super hygienist; Julie assists with expertise and Levi runs the office the way you’d want someone to run yours. All in all, the best dental office I’ve experienced.

I cannot describe how wonderful Dr. Burger is. I didn’t think it was possible to look forward to going to the dentist but that’s how I feel about my upcoming dentist appointment. Dr. Burger is very special. He cares deeply about dental and oral health and is passionate about his trade. I go the extra 10 miles to make sure the patient is as comfortable as possible. He has been in practice for decades and has many specialties. No matter the procedure, I feel fully confident that I am in good hands. He even called me after 2 relative large procedures to make sure I was feeling ok. He even took the time to write up a treatment plan for me, complete with my x-rays. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Burger is the best dentist in New York. Even though I live upstate I come back to NYC for treatment. This is why: I recently fell and broke 2 of my front teeth. Dr. Burger saw me immediately. He conducted a thorough analysis and explained in detail to me the extent of the damage and possible future problems. During the visits to prepare the crowns, Dr. Burger used advanced technology and procedures. In addition, his work is always pain free. He is extremely sensitive to any discomfort a patient might feel. The outcome was excellent, both medically and cosmetically. My crowns are the same color and size as the former teeth and actually look better since he was able to straighten them a bit. I’ve gone to Dr.Burger for many years and can’t recommend him enough for thorough and up to date dentistry and caring treatment. In addition, his staff is very efficient and friendly. Always available to help.

It’s wonderful to find a dentist who is engaging and fun and who surrounds himself with a caring and thoughtful staff. But, let’s face it, warmth and humor are not the prime attributes one seeks in a dentist. It’s scientific knowledge, technique, diagnostic ability, and good hands. Dr. Burger has all that, in spades. He has a thirst for knowledge, keeping abreast of the latest research and advancements in technology. But more than that, he is an artist, and a consummate problem solver. He also has perseverance; if one approach isn’t working, he draws upon his experience (and his father’s) to find another innovative approach that does the trick. And he spends the time with and gives each patient the attention necessary to address every issue that may arise with mastery and creativity. There is so much subtlety and nuance required to be a great dentist. He is a great dentist.

Dr Berger is the best Dentist in NYC. I used to be very afraid of dentists, until I had a situation and had to sit in his dental chair, yes I was mortified. But Dr. Burger was so professional with such a firm yet gentle touch that the fear started to leave me, Suddenly I was in the hands of an angel or so it felt. Not only did he correct a bad situation, but I returned to get all my work done by him. Yes Dr. Berger is the real deal, a real Doctor, with knowledge and a heart. The only Dentist to visit if you want a smart Mensch in the know.

Dr. Donald Burger is not a good dentist…he’s a great dentist! He doesn’t just diagnose and treat. He devotes time to each and every patient to improve the quality of their lives. He does everything in his power to prevent oral disease…and does it with tremendous knowledge, skill and care. You can tell a lot about a doctor by their office staff. I love them all. They are efficient, professional and very caring. Look no further…you have found the perfect dentist!

For many years I neglected my teeth because of a dental phobia. I finally found Dr. Burger about 20 years ago, and I have been coming to him ever since. He is highly skilled, compassionate and he never causes me any pain. I like that he explains what he is doing as he goes along, and why. He educates you about preventing new problems and maintaining healthy teeth and you can view his work on a screen in front of you. Dr. Burger treats your overall dental health, and recently observed a white spot on my tongue. He strongly urged me to check it out with an oral surgeon and gave me a referral.

I highly recommend Dr Burger! He and his staff are extremely skilled, helpful, and respectful. It is refreshing to meet a Dr that devotes time to collaborating with patients about their care. I wish I had found him years earlier and I know that I will be in great hands in the years to come.

Our family have been using Don Burger for many years. He’s diagnosed serious and not so serious conditions and explains dentistry to us in a way that we can understand. His office staff is efficient and friendly and Gus does a fabulous job with cleaning. A member of our family is very happy with the Zoom product that Gus used to brighten her teeth. We highly recommend this practice.

Across the street is the Dakota famous for Lauren and Lennon, but in this building, The Majestic whose denizens have included funny men such as Milton Berle, Zero Mostel and today’s Conan O’Brien, the guy who can really take care of your smile is Donald Burger DDS, my dentist for 30 plus years! Yes he has a sense of humor, and like any life long New Yorker he’s juiced by the energy and culture of the city, but he’s also a miracle worker in the way he’s managed to keep my awful English teeth in my mouth! Amazingly I can still eat, in spite of the fact that I have such a crooked bite only about two upper and lower teeth actually meet! Talking of crooked, the infamous gangster Frank Costello lived in the building when Vinnie “The Chin” Gigante tried to blow him away in the Majestic’s lobby. The Chin failed, but Don Burger’s friendly staff will never fail you. So go. Get your smile back! Two years later, Donald Burger and his crew are still making sure I can smile and chew. Thanks.

I HAVE HAD THE BEST AND MOST THOROUGH, COMPREHENSIVE DENTAL CARE FROM DR. BURGER AND COMPANY THAN ANY OTHER DENTIST, AND I HAVE BEEN TO MANY! I HAVE HAD GUM SURGERY,IMPLANTS, REPLACED FILLINGS AND A BROKEN TOOTH ALL TAKEN CARE OF BRILLIANTLY! HE IS REALLY INTO STATE OF THE ART TECHNIQUES MY TEETH AND GUMS HAVE NEVER BEEN IN BETTER CONDITION!

I have been going to Dr. Burger for about 15 years, and I would not want to see any other dentist! He is thoughtful and intelligent about his practice, and he explains everything very thoroughly. I have a much better understanding of how dental and oral health relate to overall wellness, thanks to him. He also guided me through the Invisalign process which turned out better than I could have imagined (worth every penny!). His staff is excellent — warm and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Burger and his practice to anyone, especially people who are anxious about going to the dentist. You will receive the best and most compassionate care here!

The office staff were very professional and Gus the hygienist was patient, gentle and explained every detail of the cleaning with me. I had a thorough cleaning then Dr. Burger examined my mouth which was a positive experience. All in all I felt very comfortable !

I rarely visit the dentist as I don’t have insurance and, when I do, it’s only due to an emergency. My experiences with dentists haven’t been stellar in the past (as few as they were), since everyone I visited was all business and apparently in a hurry. However, I found Dr. Donald Burger and his staff to be very pleasant. I was also very pleased when Dr. Burger made it his business to educate me on proper oral care, complications, and recommended producers (something I NEVER received anywhere else). Every question and concern I had was answered and he was very helpful, when it came to recommending me to an oral surgeon. I’ve only been there once, but Dr. Burger has so far proven to be the best dentist I’ve ever had. I have zero hesitation about going back there and, for me, that’s a huge plus.

I highly recommend Dr. Burger for all your dentistry needs. He is an expert at his profession as well as an extremely personable human being. Plus, his staff are wonderful and do their best to make a new patient feel welcome and comfortable. His office has all the high tech equipment you would want your dentist to have. I also found the Joni Mitchell, Carol king and Laura Nero music the Dr. plays while working very comforting. Highly recommend.

Donald Burger is literally my hero! He is the best dentist ever! I came in his office with despair, he fixed my front teeth so fast and he uses state of the art technology. I really love his work and he was so quick…his staff is very lovely. I highly recommend him to anyone! his work is amazing!

Dr. Burger is excellent because: His modern equipment is like none other I have seen. It shows beginning problems which result in earlier care and is less expensive because less damage is done.His sophisticated equipment enables the patient to clearly see the problem presented. His work is never painful! His clear explanations enable the patient to understand why, and what, dental work will be done. Dr. Burger seeks to know why a patient developed a problem. For example, he sought to find out why I had a chipped tooth rather than just repair it! It is apparent that Dr. Burger loves his work.

I’ve been going to Dr. Burger for umpteen years. I first came to him because my husband (a very long time patient of Dr. Burger’s father and then Dr. Burger) recommended him. Since childhood, I had a strong fear of dentists and hadn’t seen a dentist for a number of years, so when I first saw Dr. Burger, my mouth was a mess. Dr. Burger, however, was fantastic! Not just gentle but reassuring. I’ve been a devoted fan ever since (and I have bad teeth and gums so I see Dr. Burger quite regularly!). He keeps me calm with nitrous oxide and entertained with his stories and singing. His staff is also terrific. And today, for the first time, when I came in for a crown, he tried out a new computer-generated injection system for numbing just the tooth being worked on, and it worked great. I did not feel a thing, I mean nothing, even during the numbing process. And I left the office feeling perfect – none of the usual numbness to a whole quadrant of the jaw that can last an hour or more. Since starting with Dr. Burger, I actually look forward to going to the dentist.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Burger for close to 10 years. He’s an amazing professional, as is his staff. I got veneers on my top front teeth about 8 years ago, and to this day, everyone comments on my “great” smile. In dance class, I’ve been told that my smile “lights up the room” and “changes the energy of the class.” Of course, much of this is due to my own energy/enjoyment, but I have to give Dr. Burger at least some of the credit 🙂 My teeth look completely natural.
