Jae Byun, DDS Dental Ambitions

I simply want to find a clinic in the Upper East Side close to where I stay for regular cleaning. This place is just several blocks away. Dr. Byun himself, his hygenists, the cashier Wendy and another gum specialist Dr. Royzman who did a small surgery for me are all quite nice during the service.

I will admit, I have never had a bad Dentist visit in my life, so my thoughts on dentists’ offices are a tad skewed, but I’ll break down the highlights in detail so you understand my absurdly high rating.
The experience:
First, the staff is really fun. Ask for Stacey, she has appropriately sarcastic wit and makes filling out that mound of forms not-​so-​bad or as good as writing redundant contact details over and over again can be (Yes, the redundancy in that sentence structure was meant to be there… laugh a little). Plus, the office staff works quickly; you fill out your stuff and you get in the chair. There weren’t a ton of other people in the waiting room — in fact it was just me and one other lady.
The cleaning:
I haven’t been to the dentist in a while, for a cleaning. Due to my generally good dental hygiene and lack of cavities I just haven’t found the need. But, since it has been a while, I figured it was time to go. I assumed it was going to be a chore (or they would hurt me from scraping off the plaque build-​up) but that was not the case. While it was the longest cleaning I had ever endured the good nature of the hygienist, coupled with her skill at cleaning made it as enjoyable as a fresh visit off of a lengthy abstinence can possibly go.
The Doc:
Super nice guy! He didn’t even make me feel bad about my cigar smoking. Random, I know, but I have had a dentist admonish me for that. He just gave me some tips and kept it real — advice that I’ll make sure I use. Not only that, he asked me about various places to go get a stick in the city! I just hope I didn’t scare him when my eyes popped out of my head. Also, he was quick without being terse or abrupt. He introduced, looked, prodded, we spoke for a couple minutes, then he got up and walked the hell out — kudos, dude.
The wrap-​up:
I was/​am impressed with the efficiency, personality and proficiency in this office. I almost never give 5 stars (if ever?) but I’m giving this team my highest approval. Now, if they can only give me that Denzel smile :-D

I have had a ton of dental work done in my day, and I have never experienced such professional and informative staff members at any of my past Dental offices. The staff at Dental ambitions have been honest with everything I have had done, and it’s sad when in this day and age, honesty is so appreciated at a dental office. The hygienist is so nice and gentle, and I would recommend Dr. Byun to anyone I know!

I have been going to Dr. Byun for 2 years based on a referral from a friend and now my sister goes to him as well. They are always on time, and the dental hygienist, I think her name is Stacey, it really sweet and thorough. I now live in Brooklyn but make the trip to the UES because they really are great.

I found this office to be clean and comfortable and the service was quick and professional. Dr. Byun was incredibly patient in describing my issues and showing me images of my own teeth. His staff followed up in a timely manner about the costs of future procedures. Unfortunately even with insurance these basic procedures (capping some deep molars) were much too expensive for me ($ 100 per tooth).
