Our daughter had her wisdom teeth removed yesterday and the staff and doctors took wonderful care of her during the entire visit. Everyone went above and beyond in detailing and explaining every step of the procedure. They were all so kind, it was very reassuring and we are so grateful and appreciative of their compassion and professionalism. Highly recommend.

We were referred to Dr. George over thirty years ago, when my first-born son was in need of his first dental appointment. Since then, he, my mother, my husband, our other son (who is disabled), daughter-in-law, two grandsons, and I have relied on Distinctive Dental Services for our dental needs. From our shared experience, we know we can trust Dr. George, Dr. Epstein, Dr. David, and Dr. Zimbardi, as well as the hygienists, for their professionalism, and can also count on all of them for their patience, sensitivity, and especially their kindness. The office is pleasant and clean and the office staff

I was apprehensive to go to the dentist during Covid but it’s obvious that distinctive dental takes every precaution possible to make the visit safe.
I’m very pleased with the cleaning and exam I had. My dental hygienist was thorough, yet gentle and considerate.
Dr. Zimbardi is a caring professional who is highly skilled at his craft and is able to make even the most anxious patients feel at ease. I highly recommend this practice.

Love Dr Zimbardi! He is personable, professional and just a great guy. He was very gentle when cleaning my teeth, which is always a blessing ! Was surprised the hygienist, who I also loved, was let go and that the appointment was difficult to get - several months in advance. That didn’t used to be the case. But, that being said, I am still 100% satisfied with Dr Zimbardi. My husband uses him now also.

As always the visit with Dr. Zimbarde is great. He’s not only a great dentist but a pleasure to spend time with. The assistant was delightful. The front office staff is not very friendly and asks you if you are vaccinated, which is really none of their business, being that it has nothing to do with their protocol.

I have been going to DDSNY for many years. Even after moving into NYC I still go out of my way to return because the dentists and staff are worth it. I had to make frequent visits during the pandemic for an implant/prosthetic procedure and they are extremely diligent and take every precaution they can to keep their patients and staff safe.
Unlike some other dentists I have seen, the staff here listens to the concerns of their patients and goes out of their way to ease anxiety. I highly recommend this practice for both children and adults.

As soon as I spoke to the receptionist I felt very comfortable. I don’t remember her name but she was a young girl with brown hair in a pony tail. Whoever was the receptionist the day and time I was there. She was very pleasant. Dr. R.Epstein was also very nice and made me feel confident in him as my anesthesiologist. I’ve been to Drs. offices that did not make me feel at ease. I recommend them highly.

I wish I found this dental practice years ago. They have a modern office with the latest equipment for x-rays. Dr David did my exam and cleaning. She is extremely nice, professional, and a true expert of her field. They are very fairly priced, I actually was expecting it to be more expensive than what they charged. She is very talkative and more than happy to answer any and all questions on your teeth and dental care. They also have a polite and professional staff.

I can't believe no one else has rated these dentists yet! I have been going here since I was a little girl and to clarify, they have both pediatric dentists and general dentists, so you can truly grow up in this practice.

The waiting room is really geared to children with an awesome play area (how I remember those good old days!) and a tv and some magazines. It's not a huge office, but it's the perfect size and never gets overly crowded.

I first fell in love with this practice with a dentist, Dr. Elkin, who has since left. He was absolutely spectacular, and when I heard he left
