Lillian Mittl, DDS

Best dentist experience ever. I found this office through Unilocal.I had not been to the dentist in almost 10 years. And the dentists I remember were not the most gentle or compassionate.
I was really apprehensive about finally going to the dentist now that I have insurance. My first appointment was just a cleaning. I had Dr. Alexandra Simpson. She was wonderful. She talked me through everything, was honest and gentle, and constantly made sure I was not experiencing any pain whatsoever. There was a TV on the wall that I could zone out to while she was doing the cleaning. Overall, I was very relieved and grateful for the whole experience.
I went for another appointment two weeks later to get three fillings (not bad for almost 10 years!). This appointment was also pretty pleasant, as dental work goes. I never experienced a moment of pain or unmanageable discomfort. Again, I’m really pleased with Dr. Simpson and I’m so glad to have stumbled upon this office.
I also sent my husband to this office to catch up on his dental care. He had not seen a dentist in 10 years either. His appointment was with Dr. Pantaleo. My husband really liked his dentist and has been back to him for fillings.
I think this speaks to the quality of care of the entire office.

Best dentist I’ve ever had. She is very thorough in her work, and also describes every step of every procedure so u know what’s going on. Also very transparent about options for major work. You sense she really loves her work, and it shows.

Great dentist! Very nice and knows her stuff.

I want to see Alexa Simpson for my appointment. She is absolutely wonderful. This is hands down the best dentist I have ever been to. She is with you the whole time so the dental assistant is not cleaning your teeth she is! My teeth have also never felt so clean. I never have to wait very long and I am also greeted with a smile. I would recommend this dentist to everyone!

What a terrific experience w/​Alexandra Simpson, DDS! I found this dentist through Unilocal. The staff was warm, responsive and got me in right away. Dr. Simpson was attentive, thorough, friendly, and knowledgable (she picked up on the way I floss!). I was treated as if I was a lifelong patient and for as long as I stay in the city I will be. I highly recommend Dr. Simpson especially after what I was put through w/​my last dentist.

Dr. Mittl is a lovely person and extremely gentle, but her cleanings aren’t very thorough. I’ve walked away from appointments and most times my teeth don’t feel clean. As I said, she’s a wonderful person, so if you’re afraid of the dentist, she’ll definitely put you at ease!

Seriously, thanks so much Unilocalers for your review. While I was on vacation in the Dominican Republic, I had fallen and chipped my front tooth. I looked like a serious yokel. :(Needless to say I didn’t get it fixed while out of the country, and had been trying to get appointments to get it fixed. When I found this office, they were so accommodating. They were able to squeeze me in for an appointment in the morning the NEXT day!
I’ve never been one to be afraid of going to the dentist… but I also don’t frequent them. Of all the dentists I’ve been to, Alexandra Simpson is a godsend. She fixed up my tooth in no time, and honestly, it looks better than it did before I chipped it. AND I also don’t have any dental insurance, and she helped me out with the cost. Love.
So thank you thank you Alexandra. You made me whole. I can finally smile again. :D

Thank you fellow Unilocalers! I went to Dr. Mittl based on your fabulous reviews.
After having a horrible experience at another dentist’s office last year, Dr. Lillian Mittll is a blessing! She is extremely professional, explains everything she plans to do, has a ton of common sense, and is down right personable. They even took my insurance. I didn’t pay a dime for a consultation, xrays and a cleaning. Five Stars!

Dr. Alexa Simpson is great. Very nice, explains what she is doing and doesn’t talk down to you. I used to be terrified by dentists but not anymore. Teeth cleaning is short and sweet and doctor will answer questions thoroughly and patiently. Would recommend to everyone looking for a dentist in the city.

I decided to go to Dr. Mittl after reading positive reviews on Unilocal.Now I’ve been going for over 2 years and my experience with her is that she’s very kind, patient and extremely helpful. I’ve recommended her to a handful of colleagues and everyone just loves her. If you can’t get an appointment with her, her husband and step daughter are also dentists and I’ve heard good things about them as well.

I actually see her step-​daughter Alexa Simpson and she’s excellent. I can always get an appointment when I need one and routine cleanings take a mere 20 mins!

I have feared and disliked most dentists for a long time, but I’m a big fan of Dr. Mittl. She’s extremely patient and friendly and puts one completely at ease. I don’t have dental insurance, but when I needed a lot of work done about a year ago she was quite helpful about figuring out the least expensive way to group visits and procedures. All in all, she’s definitely the best dentist I’ve had and there’s nobody else in NYC I’d rather go to.

My back wisdom tooth was not happy… In fact… he was PISSED. He put me out of commission for 2 days out of work. I was a train wreck… The darn thing kept me up till 6am at which time I did the research and decided to go with Mittl. called out of work, took a sleeping pill and woke up at 9pm and missed my appointment. damnit! Got my stuff together and called out again and called and got an appointment the next day.
I will say I hate going to the dentist but honestly she made it pretty relaxing. What was different was she said exactly what she was doing every step of the way and understood that I didn’t want to be there and really went over the top to make sure I was comfortable. I was quite pleased at the end and will be back for all my dental needs.
btw…I got the little bastard pulled and I have him on my desk at work… I’m a little bitter. I just want him to know who has the last laugh.
Is that creepy?

I found this place off of Unilocal as well, hoping to get an appointment with Dr. Mittl after reading so many positive reviews. However, I ended up with her step-​daughter, Alexandra Simpson (Dr. Mittle, Dr. Simpson and his daughter Alexandra all practice together). I was a bit nervous just because I didn’t know before I came in that I’d have someone else working on me, but that nervousness vanished very quickly. Dr. Simpson is extremely competent, patient, and calm, and over the 4 visits I made there to complete a root canal and cap, I never dreaded it, nor did I ever feel any pain during any of the procedures. She explained everything she was doing as we went along, made me feel very comfortable, and has a gentle touch.
Incidentally, I don’t have dental insurance so I had to pay out of pocket, and the prices here were also slightly lower than I had been anticipating, which was also nice. I will definitely continue to see Alexandra Simpson the next time I need a dentist.

I found out about Dr. Mittl’s office through Unilocal; it had been over 2 years since my last visit to a dentist and I had a plethora of dental issues. Dr. Mittl was patient, thorough, and handled my issues and questions in a very kind manner. I had my cleaning with her, and in order to accomodate my work schedule, I underwent several procedures with Dr. Simpson, another dentist in the practice, and her husband. Both doctors were wonderful, very efficient, and a pleasure to deal with. Because of my irregular work schedule and location, I had to switch dentists, but if that weren’t the case, I would definitely keep Drs. Mittl or Simpson. I highly recommend both of them!

I hadn’t been to a dentist since 1997 and was quite terrified of the impending experience. But after seeing Dr. Mittl’s reviews on Unilocal,I was actually looking forward to my visit. Everything that I read from other patients was true. She is an amazing dentist and was very thoughtful with the way she treated me. She asked me questions about my background and made me feel very calm. She asked about my dental concerns and then addressed them all. As she cleaned my teeth, she explained not only what she was doing but why. And she warned me of any unpleasant feeling I might experience each step of the way and assured me that she would stop if anything was too painful. Honestly I had no problems with anything – it was genuinely the best dental experience I have ever had. I would recommend her to anyone and will continue visiting her practice in the future. Thanks!!!

I found Dr. Mittl through Unilocal and have been very pleased with my experience. Office visits are very pleasant and I have not had any problems with the various work that has been done.

Gentle, knowledgeable, patient.

dr. mittl is BY FAR the most gentle dentist i have ever been to. she is extremely concientious to make you comfortable during cleanings. this is the best dentist i’ve ever been to and well worth coming a long distance for.

My first visit was a great experience, a very comfortable environment. Dr. Mittl answered all my questions in a well thought out manner. She was a pleasure to talk to and made the entire checkup a breeze.
