Dr. Chang and her team are amazing. I've had some rough childhood dental trauma and was quite nervous at my first visit and nearly didn't come back for the two fillings I needed to find an office with laughing gas (nitrous). I'm glad I gave Dr. Chang a chance at the first one, she was amazing and so gentle. She pre-numbed me so well I didn't even feel the lidocaine injection. She took her time and made sure I was comfortable and checked in with me. The second filling I had with her was the first time in a very long time that I wasn't nervous coming into the office. No one shamed me either for a bit of an extended break between dental providers either which was amazing. Not the cheapest office around, but what do you expect a block away from Grand Central? They are on time and Dr. Chang is extremely gentle and caring.

I recently went in for my first visit for a cleaning and check-up and had a really good experience. The office was clean, organized, and the staff was welcoming and professional. Dr. Zhi was great. She was very attentive and took the time to clearly explain everything during my exam. My hygienist, Mary, was amazing and did an excellent job with the cleaning. She was very thorough and made me feel comfortable throughout the visit. She worked carefully and efficiently. I left feeling like my teeth were very clean and well cared for. Overall, a friendly and knowledgeable team. I’ll be returning for my 6-month appointment.
I went in as a walk-in, and the front desk staff were incredibly accommodating and sweet. Even though I didn’t have a scheduled appointment, they were able to see me after first confirming that my insurance was accepted. I received a cleaning and had my wisdom tooth extracted the same day. Dr. Mann was very kind and explained the procedure thoroughly, which made me feel at ease. His assistant was exceptional, and the hygienist was great as well. Everyone made me feel welcome, comfortable, and safe throughout my visit.
Dr. Chang and her dental hygienists were so lovely! They took all the time I needed to answer my questions and make sure I felt comfortable the whole time. The service was quick and still very thoughtful! Finally found a great dentist in the city!
Best dentist I’ve ever had! As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted with sweet receptionists. Dr. Wong is so kind, gentle with her hands, fun to talk to, and good at explaining my treatments. She filled my cavities same day and I fell asleep at some point! She was actively checking up on me to see if I was doing okay. Mary, the hygienist, was also really gentle and sweet. My teeth felt so clean after. Highly recommend!
