Advanced Dentistry of New York

I’ve been coming to see Dr. Backer for a few years now. I’ve done everything from fillings, root canal to dental implants and this is the best dentist office I’ve been to. Dr Backer is super sweet, nice, patient and he’s a professional. He’s excellent at what he does. Over the years, the wait time has increased a bit since the beginning when I first started seeing him, but it’s understandable, because I think he’s a lot busier now than before. The office staffs, Maritza, Maria and Sonia are the best! They are the nicest ladies you can ever meet and they provides the most excellent service. I would recommend this office to anyone.

I hope I never come back for a number of reasons. The first being that they have become money hungry scumbags, the second is I was tired of being lied to. It all started when a procedure to replace one of my teeth took way longer than expected. I was told by the doctor beforehand that it would take four months and the procedure was a little over three thousand dollars. At the time both were doable and I needed the procedure so I did it. Later I was told that I was undercharged and I OWED them a little over 700 dollars. I was incredibly pissed but still I kept calm and I paid. Now I first had the procedure done in February, the undercharge incident was in June. I didn’t get my tooth until the start of September. Every time I went in I was told oh the lab did not do your tooth right, oh they did not send it this time. Still stay calm throughout all of it. In September when I finally got my tooth these guys had the nerve to say I needed Invisalign and that it was only 2000 down. After using almost all of my vacation days when they yo yo me around, after «undercharging» me and still getting more money out of me, after all they put me through they couldn’t back off. They insisted on trying to squeeze every last dollar out of me. No more, stay far away from this place. Even if the dentist seems nice their only intention is too milk you out of every penny.

Dr. Backer is very professional and cares about your time. Intends to work swiftly and efficiently.

I highly recommend Dr. Backer. I’ve had a good experience with Dr. Backer and he and his staff are friendly.

I’ve recommended Dr. Backer to family and friends. I’ve had a great experience every single time.

The spot is located on a inside street in the 1^st floor of a house. With plenty of metered street parking. Clean spot, but the office looks outdated! I mostly only come here for cleanings …
The staff is on point, Annette the office manager. Stays on her calls, making sure I am always ontop of my dental hygiene. With a professional & friendly vibe, and I have probably canceled over 10 appointments easily.
Ivonne best teeth cleaning by far. Has yet to disappoint, Professional & Knowledgeable. FLOSSING daily! She makes sure, your boy has that million dollar smile :)

The dental hygienists and receptionists are wonderful, however I can’t say the same for the doctor. He comes off as bit condescending and not the friendliest. I made three trips to the office and each time the doctor disappointed. I’d have to remind him what I needed and it seemed like he wasn’t prepared which worried me. What made me most upset was the fact that he’d be gone for long periods while he’s treating me without an explanation. He wouldn’t even apologize for the long pauses. He also looked annoyed at my questions.

My first time coming here was an awesome experience. ALL the employees were very friendly and welcoming. I’m absolutely coming back soon!

I’ve seen Dr. Backer for a few years now in the Brooklyn office and he’s the best! He is calm and caring. He’ll take time with you if you are nervous and explain the procedure to you if you ask him to. His staff is wonderful as well, and they will work with your schedule as best they can. He does good solid, pain-​free-​as-​possible work.

Dr. Backer is always really great. He is my regular dentist since living in Sunnyside. He is extremely reasonable and so convenient for me. The assistants are also really nice and believe it or not, I enjoy the experience of getting my teeth cleaned because the hygienist is so nice. I have sensitive teeth and even with the discomfort, I am still quite satisfied to have this office as my dentist.

This was my second time to see Dr. Backer. The first time I went was for a routine checkup. It was quick and easy.
The reason for the five star rating is because of a recent problem I had. I was traveling in the Caribbean where I developed an issue with one of my teeth the night before my trip back to NYC. I contacted his office from the airport to make an appointment, but they told me that they close early on Fridays and I could come in the Monday. I told them what happened to me and Dr. Backer stayed open until I got there from JFK. Because of traffic, I got to his office late but it wasn’t a problem for him. Dr. Backer and his staff got me fixed up in just a few minutes.
I am very happy at the level of service I got at Advanced Dentistry. Dr. Backer and his staff are great.

Dr. Backer is amazing! I recently had an dental emergency come up over the weekend. I called Dr. Backer and he was able to see me on a Sunday afternoon. I thought I would have to wait for hours, but his staff was friendly, helpful, and efficient — getting me in and out in no time. As it turns out, I had an abscess, so time was of the essence. I’m grateful for the care and concern the doctor and his team showed me. Thank you Dr. Backer!
