Columbus Ave Dental Associates, PC

I have just called their office to ask if they extract wisdom tooth. The receptionist was incredibly nasty and rude! Refused to provide any information over the phone, telling that I have to schedule appointment in order to get this information. They also do not check patient’s insurance eligibility, stating that it’s solely patient’s responsibility! First call and such a turn off! Will never go to that office and never recommend it to the community.

Reading the reviews the biggest complaint seems to be the wait. Nobody likes to wait, but, having gone to dentists and doctors for over 50 years I can say that the successful offices almost always have a wait. At least there is tv in the waiting and procedure rooms. A lot of places have the tvs off, if they have them or NY1 News on, which repeats the same story over and over. I find the movies without commercials distracting which is what I want.
I find the dentist competent and efficient with reasonable pricing and the pain has been minimal. That is rare.

I’ve been here several times and have always had a great experience. They’ve fit me in twice for dental emergencies, and have gone above and beyond to ensure that my insurance is billed correctly and that I’ve had convenient and economical treatment. The dentist always remembers me (even when I neglected to come back for over a year to complete a procedure!) and she chats with patients and staff as though it’s all a big family. I always leave there feeling like I was treated like a person and not a number. Clean facilities with movies playing in every room — I’ve never had a long wait, maybe ten minutes tops, and I’ve come both in the morning and the afternoon. I recommend it.

WHAT A JOKE!!!
They only take appointments from 9 – 2:30 Monday through Thursday so take your children out of school for a dentist check up. Office manager is rude and nonprofessional, facility is filthy.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! THERE ARE WAY BETTER OPTIONS!!!

Always a good experience. Timely, efficient, friendly service. Clean, well maintained facility. Good staff. Dentist is excellent. I have seen her several times now.

I have gone to this dentist for 5 years. Although she is great, her scheduling needs a complete overhaul! It is absolutely horrible. There is always a long wait — from 45 minutes to an hour and a half. Prepare to get comfortable in that small waiting room. You’ll be waiting for a long time.
After having to reschedule two appointments because of the extreme delays, I decided to be her first patient of the day at 8:30am. Yet, here I am today at 8:33am and the office is pitch black and locked. When the staff finally arrives, they inform me that the dentist has a flat tire. Could be a 30 minute wait… or longer. Really?!!
I’m considering switching dentists. Unfortunately for the time being, all of my dental records are here. Save yourself the trouble and make your appointment elsewhere.

Waited for ever. Over an hour sitting in the very uncomfortable waiting room. HOWEVER, the main dentist was wonderful. Great cleaning and very helpful. The staff was friendly. The facility is old and rundown and the need to work on their scheduling.
