“Good experience”
By: Ross
An excellent experience with no complaints. Really these folks are professional, organized, and considerate. They keep the lectures to a minimum while providing specific helpful advice on prevention. They noted some issues with my teeth without insisting on fixing the problem until it was actually necessary, which I appreciated (and the tooth has not given me any problems since). My family and I have been using them for four years and will stick with them.


“Professional, Courteous & Overall Pleas”
By: Vanessa
I have always had great experiences when visiting the offices of Kafko, Kaminsky & Kaufman DDS. Your entire staff exudes professionalism and all are very courteous! When entering Laura always greets me with a smile and she offers that personal touch to all clients. She is extremely detailed and always makes the visit a very pleasant one despite the discomfort or anxiety one might have before being seen. Thank you for having such an incredible staff your dental office is like no other!




“Quick and Painless (relatively speaking)”
By: David A
I was recommended to Dr. Kafko by a friend and was not disappointed. The entire procedure was carried out without delay. Giving me the sense of being well organized but not just systematic. He was so informative and friendly I was practically excited to schedule an appointment to have my wisdom teeth removed. I gladly recommend him.


“Very good”
By: Olg
consult was great. Treatment planner explained what would be done and how much it would cost me. And I could not be more satisfied. I had some concerns. But after she " Michelle " explained all. I was more than delighted and comfortable. Thank you for your caring and concerns.




“The best care ever.”
By: Mohammed
The best care ever. I was so scared after having had experiences with root canal before. From the time I walked in. To the time I was check out. what a delight. Receptionist was so caring and helpful. I've never had a more pleasant dental experience.


“Finding a Great Dentist in New York”
By: anonymous
I was about to give up on finding even a "good" dentist in New York when a coworker recommended Kafko, Kaminsky and Kaufman. I can't say enough great things about the friendly and professional staff as well as the quality of dental work performed. I know my teeth are in great hands here and I don't DREAD going to the dentist anymore. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend them!

“5 Stars”
By: Marisol
Visitign Kafko Kaminsky & Kaufman was a very pleasant experience. My cleaning was the most gentle cleaning, but definitely very thorough. The staff was extremely warm and welcoming. Dr. Kafko is amazing and I felt very comfortable speaking with him. I certainly will be back. – Marisol 3/31/11

“An excellent experience”
By: Anonymous
I couldn't ask for much more. They were professional, accomodating (called about a last minute appointment that had opened up due to cancellation), competent, and the dentist informed me without using that scolding manner that is typical of dentists. And the office is pleasant and quite conveniently located. I would highly recommend!


“Exceptional experience!”
By: Mary
My visit at the office of Kafko, Kaminsky and Kaufman was wonderful from start to finish. I was able to make a appointment within a day of calling and everyone was extremely professional and friendly....especially Dr. Kafko. I am actually looking forward to my next visit!

“An amazing dentist!”
By: Gregg
An amazing dentist. I was in NYC from out of town and broke a porcelain crown at the worst moment. I was able to get an appointment within 24 hrs and they repaired the crown perfectly! It looks as if it was never broken and the color match is perfect. Great staff, super friendly!

“Such a blessing”
By: Branch
Nothing compares with having a dentist that you trust. I have been a devoted patient for 15 years and I wouldn't trust my teeth to anyone else. Literally. When I am out of town I fly in for treatment rather than seek a local provider. Since my first procedure I have received compliment after compliment on the smile Dr. Kafko gave me. As a professional actor, it has been the calling card that gets me in the door. Every single person in the office is kind and friendly, and the attention I receive is always personal, thorough, and PAINLESS! I have and will continue to recommend Drs. Kafko, Kaminsky, and Kaufman to everyone who may be looking for a top-notch dentist.
