“Great service”

By: Naomi

My appointment was for 10 AM and I was seen on time. The cleaning was thorough and gentle and all of my questions were answered. Dr. Kafko examined me and chatted with me about ways to deal with various issues.

“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.

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.

“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!

“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.
