Practice Profile Page

Dr. Muzaffar is a dedicated, compassionate and cutting edge medical professional advancing innovation in the dentistry field. She has helped a good friend of mine receive care when they were without health insurance and resolved their emergency extraction with the highest level of attention and speed. She truly cares about her patients and has a knack for dealing with young kids who are often afraid of doctor visits. These same kids are often much more relaxed in her presence. Highly recommend her practice, very convenient and central office location with flexible hours.

I used to be afraid of dentists until I was treated by Dr. Muzaffar. To give some context I went for 10+ years (okay maybe more like 20) avoiding dentists. But soon I found more food stuck in my teeth than in my stomach. My options were to let my teeth rot and go to a denture or face my fear and fix it before it got worse. I remember the day I went to Dr. Muzaffar and she calmly examined and told me that I had multiple cavities that were fixable and we wouldn’t need root canals or caps or any other extensive procedures. I had tears in my eyes because prior to this, I had one cavity filled and it was the worst experience of my life. She saw this and asked me what my fear was… The prick of the needle in my gums, the sound of the drill bit etc etc. She assured me that the prick I would feel would be more like a kiss of a butterfly rather than a stab. But when we got to it, she had this trick of distracting me while doing the anesthesia that I never even realized what the kiss of a butterfly is… After that, the entire procedure was painless and I am even cured of my fear of dentists because of her. She is my favorite dentist and should be yours too.

Asma does a great job in making her patients feel comfortable and she really does care for each individual needs. I love her holistic approach and I wished more dentist practiced it. Growing up being really fearful of the dentist and now going in with no worries and being at ease I never thought I would live to see this day!

I have only good things to say about my visit to see Dr. Muzaffar. She and her team were friendly and made me feel very comfortable (which is especially difficult to do during these times of COVID). Dr. Muzaffar was thorough and of course very knowledgeable. She even did my teeth cleaning because the oral hygienist was out. Now that’s a special dentist. I will certainly go back for my six month check up!

I had wonderful experience with dr Muzaffar and I highly recommend her office to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and friendly dentist. She is caring, responds almost instantly to any questions vie email and uses computer-assisted design and 3D-printing fillings. She was able to save one of my molars (using a 3D-printed ceramic filling) I was told by another dentist needed a root canal and crown.

I hadn’t been to the dentist in a few years and was honestly a little nervous. Dr. Muzaffar put me right at ease with a surprisingly life-affirming and holistic dental experience. Before the cleaning began, I was asked about my personal goals as well as my dental goals. I was treated like a whole person and every detail of what she was going to undertake (“You’re going to feel a little scraping,” “Now I’m going to…”) was explained to me in advance. I was put right at ease. My cleaning was outstanding and it was a great deal with the X-rays as well – which I got to see right away online. After my appointment she kindly escorted me to the waiting room and I got to pick a unique stone from her travels and write an healthy intention on it as well as my next appointment date. A beautiful, holistic dental experience! Will definitely be coming back.

Dr Asma Muzaffar is the best dentist I have come across in the 8 years that I have been in New York. I have been to a number of dentists and I was of the opinion that pain and discomfort is a necessity until I came in to see Dr Muzaffar. On my first visit, Dr Muzaffar took time to explain what the visit would involve and answered all my questions. Throughout the procedure I liked that I never felt rushed or was made to feel like I am being a bother – instead the whole visit was at my pace. The major difference between prior dentists was that I felt minimal discomfort or pain during and after any visit. For this reason, I followed up after 6 months and I am happy to report that all my visits with Dr Muzaffar have been consistent. I can see that Dr Asma Muzaffar has extensive experience and expertise in the field because whilst checking my teeth she gives me suggestions on how I can improve my dental health and what I might be doing wrong e.g. brushing too hard. Dr Muzaffar treats her patients with professionalism and gentle care. This lead me to recommend my family to visit her office. Whilst visiting from out of town, I was able to have my parents, brother and even my 4 year old nephew seen by Dr Muzaffar. They also have had a positive experience and became friends with her. We were especially impressed with how she managed the visit with my nephew as he can be quite a handful and does not like doctor visits. We saw that Dr Muzaffar was able to build a rapport with him in a very short amount of time and get him to follow her instructions to make the checkup a smooth and painless process. Overall, I cannot recommend Dr Muzaffar highly enough because of her excellent patient care skills as well as being a highly proficient dentist. If you would like a comfortable and smooth experience for yourself or your loved ones, come/send them here!

A friend recommended Dr. Muzaffar when my regular dentist said I had a cavity that needed to be dealt with right away, but couldn’t get me an appointment soon enough. Dr. Muzaffar was able to accommodate my schedule and I had the work done the following week, before my gumline cavity became a bigger issue. Thanks to having congenitally terrible teeth, I have gone to many dentists and Dr. Muzaffar is one of the best! In fact, I have never experienced such a painless filling: I didn’t feel the novocaine injection at all, and there was no pain during the procedure either. When the anaesthetic wore off, the tooth felt totally normal and has continued to be pain-free and perfectly aligned. Dr. Muzaffar provided exceptionally good service: she took x-rays without charging me since I had had them done before at my previous dentist and my insurance wouldn’t have covered them; she provided relaxation techniques and soothing music; she found and quickly repaired a small abnormality in an adjoining tooth; and she checked in on my comfort throughout the procedure using hand signals. After my excellent experience with Dr. Muzaffar, I am changing dentists!

Been to many dentists, by far the best experience. Walked in on a hot day and Dr. Muzaffar herself greeted me and offered a cold glass of water. Helpled me fill out all the necessary paperwork as i have no clue how to do this. Explained me each step she was performing. Got my xrays done, cleaning and polish. She made it very comfortable and a pleasant experience. I think i have found my perfect dentsit 🙂 Edit/update: Cherry on top.. Dr. Muzaffar called me on her day off to ask if i was in any discomfort or pain.. really amazing!!!!

Dr.Muzaffar is the best!! I’ve seen her about 4 times now and each time I go she’s such a delight and always so kind. It’s obvious that she genuinely cares about you both as a person and a patient…truly a gem! I recommend her to everyone I know. Thank you Dr.Muzaffar!! Look forward to seeing you soon (even though having cavities sucks). You rock!
