Finding the right dentist is hard. If you're like most people, you've been putting off going to the dentist because it's near impossible to find someone nearby your apartment or office, who accepts your insurance, is taking new patients, and treats you like a friend and not a number. It's not easy to look online either. Did you know that 85% of ZocDoc reviews are five stars? The good news is we compiled a list of the best dentists NYC has to offer in each neighborhood.

I have visited my fair share of dental offices and Dr. Mishaan's office is in a class of it's own. Mishaan himself, is highly skilled and you can see that his attention to detail not only carries over to his work but also his staff and office space. My only hesitation in leaving a review was to keep his office a secret. However, the secret is now out.

From The Community: When I tell you that Dr. Monterrosso is the best dentist in New York, I am lying-- he's the best in the business! I came to Dr. M after another dentist tried to scam me for invisilign, charging me almost 3 times what was necessary and Dr. Monterrosso not only took over my case quickly, but found the most cost-effective (yet still effective) way to do my program. He was so understanding and funny, professional and highly skilled that I really began to wish he would also double as a primary care physician. He's just that good. - Bdc D.

From the community: Dr Shu Ping Rong is one of the most professional, kind and thorough dentists I've ever met. She's a perfectionist and as a result all of her staff is great as well. She only does what's necessary and unlike many dentists never recommends additional procedures. My son lives in California and comes to see her whenever he visits me. I would recommend her to anyone.
