Practice Profile Page

My dental experience at Pasha Dental was extremely pleasant. The waiting room is clean and quite charming. (where else can you sit on George Clooney’s face???)  The staff is sweet and attentive. As for the Dentist himself… he answered all my questions with patience and made sure I understood all the dental terminology. (He also plays your favorite bops while he does his work on your teeth) I haven’t been to a dentist in about 4 years and this was a painless and terror-free visit. Definitely looking forward to my next visit and would recommend this place for your dental needs

I can’t recommend this place enough!!! After graduating from college, I was no longer welcome at my pediatric dentist.  The banana chair and complimentary “great smile” stickers, I was told, were for “the next generation of toothed baby mammals.”  All of a sudden I was forced to fend for myself; to find my own “grown up” dentist.  It sucked!  My first attempt was to get a cleaning from a Dentist who had a Groupon special.  Holy s*** that was a big mistake.  This lady nearly tore out my gums and tried to lie about finding cavities just to push additional services.  I was already terrified of dentists and this certainly did not help.  Eventually I moved to Brooklyn with my wife and started working for a company that offered dental benefits.  We did a little research and were impressed with the reviews of for Pasha Dental.  It was close by in an area with good street parking; that sealed the deal.  We had no trouble booking back-to-back appointments on a Saturday morning with a few week’s notice. You can tell from the moment you walk through the door that this is a patient-centric practice.  The space is clean and inviting, the staff are helpful and friendly.  They make everything easy with their paperless system and offer very reasonable prices for non-insurance covered procedures.  Dr. Pasha is a highly competent, compassionate dental professional and a really great guy.  He is sensitive to those with any level of dental anxiety and gives you free reign over the music that plays during your appointment.  Your dental history is available on a computer in the room and you can see your x-rays almost immediately after they’re taken. My wife and I have had about 3 or 4 cleanings and one filling repair here and couldn’t imagine shlepping out pearly whites anywhere else.  We’ve decided that, even if we move to a different borough, as long as we have teeth we will continue to go to Dr. Pasha at his stellar South Slope practice

I never ever write reviews but I had to write this one. I love love this dentist. I have anxiety when going to the dentist from bad experiences in the past but not here. I have never felt so relaxed at a dental office before. The staff is always really nice and the dentist himself is absolutely wonderful. He always takes his time to explain things very clearly until you understand, I never feel rushed. He’s really knowledgeable in what he does which makes you feel really comfortable. They really try to make your experience as pleasurable as possible which isn’t easy when visiting a dentist especially for not fun procedures. I can’t say enough good things! If you are needing a dentist, don’t hesitate and go to Pasha Dental

I haven’t been on Yelp in ages and like most people I only feel compelled, for the most part, to write reviews for either extremely bad or absurdly phenomenal experiences. Fortunately my experience with Dr. Pasha falls into the latter category. It all started when I decided to move from LA to NYC via a few months touring with a friends band in Europe. Upon arrival I was a little short on funds, without any insurance, and a bit of a toothache. Thus started my search for an affordable, well reviewed dentist – I found affordable to be a much better search term than cheap when it comes to people putting their fingers in your mouth. After several internet reviews and phone calls later I found myself debating between Dr. Pasha and NYU dental school. It seemed that if all I had was a cavity it would be cheaper and faster to go to a dentist vs NYU dental. The obvious choice was to be an optimist in this situation. Plus, I found out about some pretty seedy regarding NYU online. Anyway, I was fortunate enough to catch Dr. Pasha himself on the other end of my phone call when his receptionist temporarily stepped out. Okay, long story short: Dr. Pasha gave me the best dentist experience of my life. Actually, not only that, he gave me a pretty amazing story to tell on top if it all. He tried to save my tooth but eventually it had to be extracted and we’ll just say a lot happened in between. How many people walk around talking about how much they love their dentist? Definitely the only health care professional I’ve come across I could see myself grabbing a beer with but, you know, then things might get weird. That would be like hanging out with one of the strippers from your favorite strip club outside of work – maybe a bad metaphor but I can’t think of anything else. If you have any problem that requires a dentist and you don’t go to Dr. Pasha then your life will forever feel like it’s missing something. I mean, just google the guy and you’ll he’s a suave one. Not that you need your dentist to be suave but it’s a plus, right? If you’re reading this Dr. Pasha, I can’t thank you enough!

By far the best dentist I’ve had!  Pasha makes my young daughters and I feel very comfortable with cleanings that are extremely gentle, you get to choose your music and you get a choice of fun flavors for your cleaning. Pasha is extremely thorough and gave me a good deal on my night mouth guard since insurance didn’t cover it. A bonus is I can make an appointment easily on line without much advance notice and I never have to wait for my appointment once I’m there. I can’t recommend Pasha enough!

I have been going to Dr. Pasha for 4 years now and have no complaints. Every time I schedule an appointment parking is not a problem and I am in the doctors chair within 5 minutes (I don’t think I have ever waited long). The receptionist is very sweet and has you in and out in no time. Dr. Pasha is very attentive and always starts every visit with asking you “What you would like to listen to on Pandora?” (never fails). He is super attentive and explains everything very thoroughly every time i’m there. Also, the office and equipment are new and very clean. I highly recommend if you are looking for a good dentist in the neighborhood, I have been to a few bad ones which looked to do work in my mouth every time I was there. I’m glad I finally found a dentist that i’m not afraid to go to! **Be sure to checkout the George Clooney and Brad Pitt chairs in the reception area, I still have no idea why those are there ?!?

I hadn’t been to the dentist in over three years due to lacking insurance. Dr. Pasha and his staff (as well as Dr. Hashimoto) are both professional and transparent in their demeanor while making it a welcome and fun environment. I didn’t know a dentist’s office could be this welcoming and comfortable. While I know my oral health isn’t A+, I’m not certain how much damage my neglect caused and was worried to hear the results. A classic case of avoiding the check-up so I don’t ever know how bad it is. Dr. Pasha made it clear for me where my mistakes were leading, as well what it will take to get me back on track without ever being condescending or berating me for my poor dental health choices. I’m no longer afraid of the dentist, thanks to Dr. Pasha, and I think everyone should go here for their oral care, especially if they don’t like going to the dentist

I love, love, love Pasha, and this is big for me to say because I have always hated going to the dentist… well, it’s more like, I’ve always been terrified of the dentist. Since I started seeing him (yesterday was the third time), I actually look forward to it – Ok, I look forward to the goody bags and the variety of flavorful polishing pastes – but I don’t mind going to get my teeth clean. It does not hurt, I don’t bleed and my gums are not sore afterwards. His receptionist is a sweetheart, and he is the nicest, kindest and sweetest person. They always make me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Pasha has definitely changed how I feel about going to the dentist. I don’t know what will happen if I ever have to leave NYC – Guess I’ll be driving long distances or taking flights just to get my teeth checked! – I’m serious

The waiting room was super quaint, clean, bright, and really artsy. Right when you walk in you see a Banksy piece which was pretty cool/welcoming. The receptionist was very helpful and knew exactly what to do. Instead of filling paperwork online, you fill it out on an iPad. I thought the office was really swanky. The colors are warm and there are other Banksy pieces on the wall scattered throughout. I almost felt like I was at Urbanoutfitters with all the different types of mirrors they had along the walls. The dental assistant (didn’t get to catch her name) was very pleasant and helpful. She was also the receptionist and she took my x-rays. She was gentle with taking x-rays and I always dislike that part because that plastic piece always makes me wanna gag. Moving along.. when you think of dentists you think of scary drills and everything coming at you! Dr. Pasha was all about making the experience comfortable. First he allows you to listen to your own music by asking you what your music preference is and what to put on Pandora. When he was cleaning my teeth, I honestly couldn’t even feel anything I didn’t know which tooth he was working on because he wasn’t stabbing at my gums. He was gentle- as other people have said in their reviews. I told him that the fluoride part was my least favorite part of cleaning- because it feels like grittiness on my teeth and I usually have a nasty mint flavor. Well, surprisingly- Pasha Dental has 9 different flavors! I chose the cake batter. Honestly, it made my experience that much better. I just moved from Las Vegas to NY and I loved my dentist there, so this office is a great transition!

I went in to see Dr. Pasha today and he was really great as were the receptionist and his assistant. I hadn’t been to the dentist since I was a kid and to say the least I was really nervous. I really liked that all the forms were done on a iPad. It makes me feel like we are reaching Star Trek levels of technology. Everyone made me feel very comfortable and they all answered any questions I had. Dr. Pasha was really really gentle while cleaning my teeth which is what I was probably most nervous about. He let me choose what music I wanted to listen to and spent a lot of time talking to me and answering all my questions. Super thorough! I’ve already recommended him to a few of my friends in the area
