Greedy, sly, unprofessional, cunning, rip off artist The ADA and the state the NY board should take his license away. He is greedy, and unethical! He manipulates you when you are in pain and he exploits you, by charging astronomical fees, if he senses you are not familiar with dental procedures and related costs! During my first visit, and while he, without a surgical mask, was checking my mouth at a very close range, out of the blue, he suggested and tried to push me to try Botox injections! I decline, however, he continued the sales pitch, stopped the exam, and handed me a Botox brochure, while continuing the benefits of Botox!

About Front Desk: Rude, and well coached by Degel to demand money above all! The office is on the second floor of a walk up run down small building in Astoria NY, the office is crowded, dirty, the drop ceiling is leaking, with huge stains of dirty toilet water, from the above level. He never wears a surgical mask, when he examines your mouth, he is arrogant, and never really littens to your concerns of does he care! The only thing he cares about is MONEY without performing quality dental care or work to justify his greedy costs! I am reporting him as of this note and I will proceed with a law suit, and I have

Hygiene rating:

About Hygienist: My cleaning took 5 minutes, after 5 years of not having a professional cleaning done, (the bare minimum), for $260.00! Watch out! He cemented the temporary crown of my implant, as a "new" "high end porcelain veneer", and now I am stock with it, because he made sure to cement it so hard, that when I complaint, he could not look me in the eye, and when I voice further complaints with action, he tried to remove the cheap crown, but could not, because he hard cemented it to the point where the implant was in danger of popping out...on top of that i requested my top veneer bridge to be of metal free, however, he cheated me again, with a mostly metal base veneer bridge, that non esthetically pleasing! The metal shows thru my gums!!!, however I paid ever he charged me, over 17, 000 thousand dollars! He promised to redo all my procedures at no coast, but now he has backed off! Buyer and be aware!

Hygiene time: 5
