5th Ave Dental Associates LLP

I went there for my regular cleaning, it was my first and last time. First, when they checked my teeth I was told that I had a bad relationship with flossing, which I was surprised. Then, they proceed to call the periodontist and he was able to see me for a check up, casually the same day. I was told that I needed to get a ladder procedure for my gums, long story short because I would eventually loose my teeth perhaps between 10 to 15 years. And that the Lapnap procedure was the ultimate and that was the only procedure they were doing at the cost of $6,600. I proceeded to get my X-rays a few days later and sent them to a very good friend of mine outside this country, where the X-rays were probably seen. Y the whole dental association and they were in awed, first I didn't needed the procedure and second was the cost. They were very surprised how herein America we are basically scamming people so they can make a buck out of the patients. I am disgusted by my treatment at this office and the funny thing is I had my cleaning 6 months prior at another dentist and he raved about my teeth. NO, I do. Not recommend this practice, if you are going under the procedure you got scammed!!

Horrible service. Unprofessional, Constantly canceling urgent appointments. Providers always have emergencies. Staff stated well then maybe you need to find another dentist after dentist put a gaping PAINFUL hole in my tooth. DO NOT SCHEDULE WITH THIS OFFICE

Worst dental services I ever received. I had two wisdom teeth removed under improper numbing, the orthodontist Dr. Herman was rude and caused excessive pain during the procedure. Absolutely awful experience, I do not recommend coming here.

No, I would not recommend this practice to anyone. First, you can quickly review the Google rating for this place. Both the receptionists and Dr. Plotno or Diacoumakos practice intimidation. I have been using this service for the last 4 years regardless of the rating. However, on my last visit, one of the staff requested for my SSN. I was very clear that I would only provide her with the last 4 digits for the security purpose. Then she asked me to leave the place because without the SSN they will not serve me. Then three staffs who are working in reception pressed me for the personal information.  Knowing the law, I said I would speak to the management and refused to neither provide my personal info nor cancel my appointment. Plus, I took an early leave so that I can make it to the appointment. I am not wasting my 2 sick hours that easily. Though my frustration level reached its peak, I maintained my calm demeanor since I don't have time to reschedule or change the dentist. I needed to complete my objective. Then either Dr. Plotno or Diacoumakos barged in and said "Do I need to call the police to remove you from the waiting room?" At that moment, I had become a criminal in his eyes because I exercised my right to protect my personal info. Also, because I did not have the time to reschedule or change the dentist, I swallowed that humiliations and set my objective clear. I told him, I am here to get my biannual check up and I am not leaving until you fulfil my objective. They knew they couldn't intimidate me or get me upset or change my goal, so I received my cleaning. However, it was a humiliating experience that I cannot forget. And my insurance company and I had to pay for this humiliation. "The vengeance is Mine" says my God. Justice will be served by the Righteous Judge.I had thought about contacting my colleagues in NY times, but I have video or audio footage of this incident to bring this inhumane practice to light. At least, now this information is recorded against Dr. Plotno or Diacoumakos' practice. Again, the vengeance is not mine but His!

They took off my crown for xrays, put it back on with temporary glue, crown fell off, and post broke. Despite the terrible/negligent care and incompetent billing, I was going to go back, but the next appointment wasn't for 2+ months. See you never.
