PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. Perlman has to be the top cosmetic dentist in New York City.  Being a 4th year dental student at Columbia University, I was extremely picky when trying to decide where I would go for my own dental care.  Dr. Perlman has a very modern office, friendly staff, and a convenient location.  Dr. Perlman has a keen eye for aesthetics and will not be satisfied until everything is perfect.  Not to mention his office is fully equipped and at the cutting edge of dental advancements and techniques.  Lastly, Dr. Perlman really cares about his patients beyond their dental outcomes,  it’s truly like having a hometown dentist.  There isn’t a better dentist in New York City.

Dr Perlman has impeccable bedside manner. He spends time discussing what the plan is for you that day in great detail. He also does his very best to put you at ease especially if you’re a nervous mess when headed to a dentist. His dental hygienist Martha was fantastic as well and made me very comfortable. Special shout out to Melissa at the front desk for making the scheduling so easy. For someone who “WAS” terrified of going to the dentist, I am scared no longer. Thanks smile spa team!

Dr. Perlman is great, especially if you fear going to the dentist like I do. I am a total anxious mess when it comes to having dental work done but Dr. Perlman has now done two root canals on me and they were totally pain free! Seriously, PAIN FREE!!! He is very generous with the anesthetic numbing medicine and is constantly checking to make sure you are comfortable and feeling ok while he’s doing his work. The entire staff is exceptionally friendly and everyone makes sure you have a pleasant experience. The office is calm and modern and the equipment and technology up to date. What I really like are the little things they offer that make a big difference when you’re feeling anxious such as sunglasses to keep the bright light out of your eyes, stress balls to squeeze, and even headphones and an ipod to listen to whatever music you like. Dental phobics, stop procrastinating and go get your teeth taken care of by Dr. Perlman and his team!

I was having a terrible dentist appointment and possibly the worst day of my life when I met Dr. Perlman, and he literally stepped in and made my life better! When I met Dr. Perlman, I was extremely disappointed in the outcome of my smile. I was unhappy and felt uncomfortable and unheard. It felt like no one understood me. However, Dr. Perlman stepped in and instantly saw what I was complaining about and gave me comfort that it could be fixed. He has a keen eye for this work! Dr. Perlman stepped in, evaluated my situation and immediately recognized and understood my frustrations. It was such a relief to hear him acknowledge why I was unhappy. From the first evaluation to the last, he was there every step of the way. The outcome of my smile is a complete transition (check out the pics), and everything looks unbelievably natural. But what did it for me was the amount of time and care Dr. Perlman put into my case. I had to basically redo my entire smile at the top, which I wasn’t happy about. This was a long and frustrating process. However, Dr. Perlman made it better. He consistently checked on me after each appointment and truly gave me the attention I required. I needed to know that my doctor was doing everything he could to provide the outcome I desired, and Dr. Perlman did just that. Today, now that the entire process is over, I feel back to my natural and confident self. My smile looks incredible and I’ve already received compliments. Dr. Perlman is patient, attentive, kind, fun to be around and he is truly an expert in this field. I highly recommend Dr. Perlman! He took the best care of me and truly listened to my needs. I lucked out with having him as a dentist. P.S. I am a tough cookie, but Dr. Perlman managed my headstrong personality extremely well. If he was ever frustrated with my bossy, “fake dental expertise,” he did not show it one bit. He is a true professional!

This is, hands down, THE best experience I’ve had at a dentist’s office. I’ve had 3 procedures done and there has not been any pain. It’s just incredible. I never have any anxiety before or during my visits. It’s like a visit to the eye doctor. The office is clean, bright and modern. Staff is professional, personable and knowledgeable. I’m considering a move out of NY by 2022, but I’m not changing dentists. Theres no turning back. I’m a client for life.

First off, let me begin by saying I NEVER write yelp reviews — but after my experience with Dr. Joshua Perlman, I felt it was the right thing to do. Dr. Perlman is a great dentist, he does beautiful work and more importantly, he truly cares about his patients. The fact that he explains everything in great detail is not just for people who are very fearful of getting dental work done like myself, but also because he is a grade A professional at his craft. I went into his office (the office was immaculate) and was greeted by a very friendly staff and felt comfortable through the entire process. I would recommend Dr. Joshua Perlman and the NYC Smile Spa to everyone.

I would HIGHLY recommend this dental office to anyone and everyone!!! I have had some terrible dental experiences in the past and therefore have avoided the dentist at all costs. Since finding NYC Smile Spa, my outlook on going to the dentist has completely changed. I have had nothing but enjoyable experiences with the entire staff, especially Dr. Perlman. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and happy and understand everything that he’s doing. I have a big fear of needles and was very nervous about getting my cavities filled but Dr. Perlman did such an incredible job, I didn’t feel a thing or notice any of the medicine being administered!! For anyone who is hesitant about going to the dentist, this is the place to go!!! I cannot recommend them enough, they’re the best!!!!!! Thank you for changing my outlook on dental work.

First dentist visit in 6 years was nothing to worry about after I met the amazing staff and team of medical professionals at NYC Smile Spa! As someone who has dental phobia, they worked with me to make me feel at ease, and didn’t have that lingering “doctor’s office smell” that can be off putting and nerve wracking. I really appreciated the time they took to talk to me, walk me through the cleaning and discuss treatment plans with me throughout the examination. Parking is a little difficult, but definitely worth the trip to Manhattan. Thank you so much for making a stressful health check a lot less stressful!

Really great first experience! I’ll try to be brief: I don’t like shots. I don’t know how they did it but they gave me novocaine without a shot, or somehow without me even filling a pinch. That’s a huge plus for me They let me know what was going on so I felt comfortable Explained my insurance and payments Felt listened to about my questions and requests Glad to have found them! Thank you

It is with great pleasure that I submit this review and recommendation for Dr. Joshua Perlman. I’m not one to write reviews and I have a terrible phobia of dentists; however, Dr. Perlman is a gifted dentist with a great bedside manner. He’s very skilled, in fact – a perfectionist – who takes pride in his work. And he’s genuine and kind. Dr. Perlman and his entire staff made me feel at ease. The office is beautiful and clean with up to date technology. The front line staff were all very accommodating and welcoming. Kate, one of the dental hygienists was also great. Dr. Perlman took the time to get to know me and explained the different treatment options for the work I required. I decided upon getting a bridge and he artfully created a beautiful temporary – looks as good as the real thing. While executing his work, he always checks in with you to ensure that you’re OK – he’s a communicator with heart. He’s committed to giving you the best smile possible and is very detailed. As someone who’s been in the helping profession for nearly thirty years [I’m a licensed psychotherapist] I can honestly say that Dr. Perlman has it all – intelligence, skill, patience and kindness. It is without reservation that I highly recommend Dr. Joshua Perlman. May he continue to give his patients great smiles!

I chose Dr Perlman after reading the reviews here and I must say that the previous reviews were point on! Dr Perlman is extremely nice, obviously very good at what he is doing, considerate, has a good sense of humor, and he made sure I was comfortable at all times. I felt no pain whatsoever! Actually I must shout out kudos to the entire team of NYC Smile Spa as everybody was wonderful, friendly, and made my visit such an amazing experience. The facilities are very modern, inviting and I really enjoyed the music during the treatment that made me feel even more relaxed. I’ll be back in 6 months! I am so glad I finally have a dentist I can go to and feel no fear . I think I even convinced my husband to go….wohoo!

NYC Smile Spa is a wonderful office overall! The ladies at the front desk are always so nice and helpful. The waiting area is modern looking and very clean. Since I was small I never loved going to the dentist. NYC Smile Spa has changed my thoughts! Over the past 6 months I’ve had a few appointments with Dr. Perlman. He is the first dentist that I’ve been to that has done a painless injection. Over the years I have neglected my oral health because I’m afraid of the dentist hurting me. I’m glad that this is not the case anymore. I may have a laundry list of things to have done but I’m happy to say that I’m not afraid to come back. Thanks Dr. Perlman!

Everyone here is just so nice–patient, thoughtful, and skilled.  Dr. Perlman spends time getting attuned to his patients, and the team that surrounds him (both in the front and in the back) is warm, kind, and really committed to the wellbeing of visitors.  I feel very fortunate, actually, to have found such a wonderful group to whom I could entrust my dental care.  It’s a big deal.

Honestly can not say enough about the office! Dr. Perlman and his staff are outstanding, they go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and feel taken care of! I had a substantial amount of work done, and can honestly say the results changed my life! I think my smile is now one of the first things you notice about me, I notice myself going out of my way to smile at people (like the pretty girls in the office) Brian and Maddy were the assistants that helped with my cosmetic work and helped make me feel right at home! Overall I could not have ask how a better experience, and could not have imagined the results I ended up with!! 5 Stars!!!!

This office and Dr. Perlman are absolutely fantastic. I am slightly phobic of going to the dentist and therefore had put off going for nearly two years… my appointment was painless. I am a terrible grinder and Dr. Perlman fitted me and sent me home with a night guard the very same day! I’ve started dreaming again and all of my back and neck pain have subsided. I am beyond grateful and cannot recommend Dr. Perlman enough. Thank you NYC Smile Spa- You saved the day:)

I first came to see Dr Perlman 4 years ago for tooth’pain. I am really stressed when it comes to dentist but Dr Perlman knew how to make me feel comfortable. He explained to me every single steps and I felt like he was a person of knowledge that I could trust. Dr Perlman was able to fix and save many of my teeth that previously had work done by a different dentist in France. He showed me what the problems were and explained the necessary steps that needed to be done to fix them! As a patient you don’t know the quality of the dental work you are receiving. But I now know that the work he has completed with me has been top notch! It was frustrating to hear it the first time, but I’m happy I am receiving the proper care to ensure longevity of my teeth and my overall oral health! He is also really reactive and always reachable by phone or email in case of emergency or questions.

I have been to NYC Smile Spa for two regular cleanings and I just have to say that the staff is just SO amazing!!  I see Dr. Perlman, who is just super chill with a calm demeanor that instantly puts me at ease even though dentist trips can be a little daunting.  I have to say that I am really looking forward to my next visit.  Is that crazy!?!?!

I had a phenomenal experience with Dr Perlman. He was my dentist for a little over a year before I decided to do some cosmetic work with him. I had had a previous dentist accidentally shave off parts of my two front teeth and it left me with quite an insecurity. I additionally had a crown on one of my teeth next to my two front teeth that was considered a dead tooth. Using a mixture of Invisalign and veneers (4 on the top and 3 on the bottom,) my teeth are looking better than ever (and I had nice teeth before.) He was incredibly diligent, listened to me and was with me every step of the process from finding the perfect shade of white, to correcting the bite, shaping the teeth to fit my face and blending them perfectly with the remainder of my teeth. I feel more confident than ever! He was fantastic at communication and responded quickly to emails and phone calls and did his absolute best to make the experience seamless. He is a great dentist and a great cosmetic dental artist as well! Five stars!

You really have to trust your Dentist and like him/her before undergoing large cases- this describes my relationship with Dr. Joshua Perlman. Dr. Perlman makes the dentist office less scary- almost fun- from his extremely knowledgeable and affable personality, where he walks you through what’s going on, or his steady hands that allow for swift, painless appointments. I personally like his chic black gloves he wears, never seen those before. Dr. Perlman recently performed a root canal and crown procedure, not only was procedure painless and a success Dr. Perlman personally followed up with me via text and email to make sure I was healing. Point is- he’s an excellent dentist and I highly recommend you give Dr. Perlman and NYC Smile Spa a call!

Not sure why it’s taken me so long to write a review for Dr. Perlman but here it is! I found him on Zocdoc for an emergency filling back in November, 2017. I chose him because he had great reviews, available appointments the day I needed and was close to my office. He saw me right away and managed to win me over! I’m happy to say he is now my primary dentist and I have stopped seeing my dentist prior to him. Dr. Perlman is nice, attentive, friendly, knowledgeable and his staff is super great and friendly too!! 

Dr. Pearlman is an absolute gem of a dentist. He is extremely knowledgeable about the best methods to achieve great dental health and has helped me with filings, cleanings, fitting a night guard, and fitting for bleaching trays. I feel healthy and I’m thankful to Dr. Pearlman for his great, thorough work. Plus his incredible and friendly staff are a welcome bonus – they make a visit to the dentist easy and pleasurable. I would definitely recommend Dr. Pearlman and his wonderful team.

Dr Perlman has impeccable bedside manner. He spends time discussing what the plan is for you that day in great detail. He also does his very best to put you at ease especially if you’re a nervous mess when headed to a dentist. His dental hygienist Martha was fantastic as well and made me very comfortable. Special shout out to Melissa at the front desk for making the scheduling so easy. For someone who “WAS” terrified of going to the dentist, I am scared no longer. Thanks smile spa team!

Always a great experience at NYC Smile Spa. Dr. Josh Perlman and his partners have created a wonderful space with excellent staff. I had a new (for me) Dental Hygienist today Martha (although I have known her because she has been with NYC Smile Spa since I have been going here). Martha was excellent and I’m thankful for the work they do to make my teeth strong. Thank you!

I  loved my experience at this office. The ladies at the front desk were incredibly welcoming and Dr. Perlman was amazing. He explained everything to me in ways that I could easily understand – how my teeth are doing, what I needed, throughout my procedure, etc. I felt very comfortable and all of my questions were answered. It was the most stress and pain-free dental experience I’ve ever had. The hygienist was great.

Dr. Perlman is an amazing dentist–actually my favorite dentist of all time. He is one of the nicest people you will ever meet and his work is exceptional. Dr. Perlman has done a lot of work on my teeth from cavities to root canal’s (due to my horrible old dentist who let things linger and become even bigger issues). Not only is he the best dentist I’ve ever had, but his office is also beautiful. The environment he has created for his practice is a perfect reflection of why I will forever refer him. He has the nicest staff, latest in technical dental equipment (including virtual reality), music in every room, cool modern art on the walls, plus floors, walls and furniture are furnished to 9’s. Dr. Perlman is 100% the reason I can relax and smile (with beautiful teeth of course) 🙂

I have been seeing Dr. Perlman for three years. Most of the visits over the three years have been for routine dental cleanings, however, during my last cleaning, the hygienist and Dr. Perlman found a tooth in need of a sealant. I was advised that the procedure would take about 20-minutes. I suffer from anxiety, especially with regards to surgical and medical issues, so I already started to panic as I scheduled the appointment (I even rescheduled it a few times to avoid the procedure). With that said, when I arrived at the office to have the current sealant removed (from my childhood dentist), the cavity underneath removed, and a new sealant put on, I started to panic in the dental chair. Honestly, I was quite embarrassed, but Dr. Perlman didn’t miss a beat — his bedside manner came into play and he immediately pulled together a series of items and tools to help calm my anxiety. Within minutes, I had fidget balls, Bose (yes, Bose!) noise-canceling headphones, and a playlist complete with pop hits (and some Diana Ross!). After giving me a few minutes to calm down and get comfortable, the procedure proceeded without a hitch! Throughout the procedure, Dr. Perlman and his assistant checked in a few times to make sure I was ok. They told me that if at any time I felt uncomfortable or nervous, to simply raise my hand and they would stop. The procedure was a total breeze and I’m so grateful for the patience and understanding that Dr. Perlman and staff showed throughout the entire thing.

Dr. Perlman has a great bedside manner and is very professional. I felt comfortable and he answered all of my questions. I had my wisdom tooth pulled under local anesthesia, and I would have never done that before with any other dentist. The staff is friendly. The office is nice and open. I could not recommend this practice more. I was referred by a friend, and feel lucky to have found him. I even sent my husband to him afterwards!

So of course during this pandemic my tooth gave me an excruciating pain, we all understand that it is hard moving around in NYC and find anyone who operates to take care of the issue. Well NYC Smile Spa was available and very accommodating. I was able in no time to speak to the receptionist, make an appointment and fix the problem. On my arrival, I felt safe and sane. Everything was immaculately clean, the doctor and his assistance were in masks for obvious reasons, doors were open for you (so no touching required), temperature was checked and hands had to get washed once entered. NYC Smile Spa, is strategic in making their appointments, so there is no overlap between patients. This was my second visit and in both cases Dr Michael Krochak and Dr. Joshua Perlman were exceptional! Thank you for the great customer service.

Love Dr. P’s work. He is a perfectionist and a refreshing breath of fresh air (get it?). He and his team, especially Kate, are very detail oriented. As with any dentist, always ask the staff to presubmit any procedures you intend to have done to your insurance company to make sure they are covered at the expected rate.

Dr. Perlman is great, especially if you fear going to the dentist like I do. I am a total anxious mess when it comes to having dental work done but Dr. Perlman has now done two root canals on me and they were totally pain free! Seriously, PAIN FREE!!! He is very generous with the anesthetic numbing medicine and is constantly checking to make sure you are comfortable and feeling ok while he’s doing his work.

Dental phobics, stop procrastinating and go get your teeth taken care of by Dr. Perlman and his team!

Everyone at NYC Smile Spa is incredibly friendly and caring, from the front desk to the assistants to Dr. Joshua Perlman. I am always greeted warmly and even offered water and beverages as I wait. Dr. Perlman is an attentive listener and clearly communicates what he thinks is the best option. He is also very accessible by e-mail and responds very quickly to follow up with any questions I may have. You will get the sense that he and his staff truly care about you and want to help with any dental issues you may have. I highly recommend NYC Smile Spa to anyone who is looking for dental care that goes above and beyond expectations.

NYC Smile Spa is a wonderful office overall! The ladies at the front desk are always so nice and helpful. The waiting area is modern looking and very clean. Since I was small I never loved going to the dentist. NYC Smile Spa has changed my thoughts! Over the past 6 months I’ve had a few appointments with Dr. Perlman.

I left my dentist of TWENTY Years for Josh Perlman! And I don’t regret it for a minute… My old dentist missed a critical health issue because of outdated equipment and practices. When a friend told me about Dr. Perlman’s state of the art office, staff and procedures, I gave him a try. Not only did he find and fix a number of enamel cracks, he also rebuilt some teeth damaged by my chronic grinding. All quickly and efficiently, within 2 visits. Also within these visits, he fitted me for a new, way less obtrusive mouthguard. I haven’t had a dream about pulling endless wads of gum out of my mouth since. And I finally have an easy teeth brightening regimen with a real dentist who’s watching out for enamel abuse. Thank you Josh Perlman!

I do not enjoy the dentist, never have, who does? That changed when I found these guys. The receptionists are very friendly, the assistants are accommodating, and Dr. Josh Perlman was great, honest, and an excellent dentist. He explained everything he was going to be doing and why they were doing it. I’ve gone twice now, once for a cleaning and once for cavity fillings and both times I can confidently say were the most pleasant experiences I’ve had for both the procedures in a long time if not ever. This is a great, friendly, and comfortable environment and I’m happy to say I found my dentist for the foreseeable future. I cannot recommend them enough. If you’re in the NYC area go check them out, also conveniently located right near the 59th street subway.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
