Grace Lee-Hin, DDS

Mrs. Lee needs to be cloned and duplicated a dozen times over cause there just ain’t enough time for her master skills for tooth fixing, cleaning and replacements. Better yet if you want to be a tooth doctor yourself you should pay her to teach you.
After i see this doctor i make sure i eat BIG chocolate Snickers right after so i can go back and have her check out my white-​out porcelain teeth!

Great dentist with both general cleaning and cosmetic work. She has done two cosmetic procedures for me, that have turned out awesome. She has been my dentist for about 3 years, now, and has been perfect in every way. She has a great location for midtown residents, does not overbook, so there is rarely a wait of more than 5 minutes. She has a wonderful bedside manner, (although since I am also a doc, perhaps it is because our conversation are more mutual therapy about the trials of being a clinician). Someone commented that her office staff was poor, but Barbara has always been helpful, and when we (myself and my wife) have had to change times for appts, she has always been courteous about the changes, and was able to accommodate our schedules. Probably the best example of this flexibility was last winter when myself and my wife had to change our appt time at the last minute (the morning of) due to very severe weather that we did not want to take our 6 week old outside to make the appointment. She took care of me, allowed me to walk home and tag team my wife on child care, and then did my wife’s cleaning. I cannot imagine a more flexible clinician. I only wish my clinic ran so smoothly.

This review is not so much about Grace as about her office. It’s very difficult to get an appointment and her assistant is by far the worst dr assistant I’ve ever encountered. Not helpful, rude, and would probably make an appointment for the wrong day and when you call to politely tell them you’re appointment is not that day. She insist she remembers all calls from 6 months ago and she is definitely right. My husband also had huge difficulties with her and he’s very patient.

FYI: There are two Unilocal pages for this dentist. The other page has one additional review than this page. Below is a duplicate review that I posted on the other Unilocal page.
I was recommended to Dr. Grace Lee-​Hin, DDS by my Dental HMO. Here are the three reasons I gave her a 4-​star rating:
1) The most refreshing thing about this dentist is that she keep her appointments on schedule! I commented to her that I appreciated the fact that I did not have to wait to be seen after completing my first-​time patient paperwork. She remarked that she has a personal philosophy of not letting her patients wait. Clearly, she understands that her clients are busy professionals who want quality dental services quickly. If your time matters to you, visit this dentist. I recommend going a little early if you are first time patient to complete a one-​page info. sheet and to verify your dental insurance (if applicable).
2) I really liked how she worked hard to remove my tarter during my cleaning. Previous dentists kind of just scraped my gum line and spray fluoride over my teeth and called that a cleaning. With this dentist I felt a tangible difference in my tarter reduction when I got up from the chair. I am stickler about my teeth hygiene routine, so it felt good knowing that my dentist wanted my teeth as clean as I want them.
3) Office location. Her office is super convenient as it is just two blocks from Grand Central Station. Her office is on the corner of 80 Park Ave and 39^th Street; however, the actual entrance to the office is on 39^th Street (on the southwest side of the street).
I feel qualified to rate this dentist this high because I have twice worn braces (thanks to losing my retainer in college) and have been under the care of at least a dozen dentists/​orthodontists over the years due to various relocations around the country. As nice as they all where, I did not feel like I was getting the type of service I expected given how much money and time I allocated to to my dental health.
I will note that it is my understanding that this dentist does not have M– F office hours, so her appointment calendar may not work for you. I look forward to my next 6-​month cleaning appointment and would highly recommend this dentist to a family member or a friend.

Dr. Lee is a very professional, friendly, and QUICK dentist. She’s in a perfect spot to stop by and get a cleaning during lunch; I arrived 15 minutes early and she had me out within 30 minutes. She was thorough, offered recommendations and suggestions, and didn’t judge that I drink coke everyday… she also had remembered me from my first visit six months prior which is a huge plus.
Big fan, highly recommend.
