Manhattan Periodontal Associates

i was having several dental issues with the potential of more upon my first visit with dr toscano. he went above & beyond to get me back in shape & I am forever grateful. I will always recommend him to anyone in need of a referral.

I had two issues. My treatment was for periodontal disease. I had pockets in four quadrants a few 6 – 7 mm deep. The quadrants were selectively treated, much less work than I expected. Cost $ 7,500 for one hour of work. A few months later when I went to another dentist, the pockets were still there. I thought they would be eliminated. Maybe I misunderstood what was supposed to happen to them. Secondly Dr. Toscano urged me several times to return to use his hygienist. That would mean giving up my general dentist’s hygienist. Sort of
get more follow on income for his office. Maybe that’s what they do these days.

Pros:
* I initially came here around a year ago with a Groupon ($ 49 for Dental cosmetic consultation, x-​rays, and teeth cleaning) and because of the clean establishment, wonderful service and staff, I returned last week for a dental cleaning for $ 100, which is very affordable for Manhattan.
* If you come to Periodontal Associates for cleaning, ask for Melissa– she is so sweet, personable and totally attentive and competent.
* Dr. Nicholas Toscano is also very friendly. I could tell he gives an honest opinion, versus other seedy dentists trying to scare you into doing unnecessary procedures.

I purchased a Groupon for this business and called a few days later to schedule an appointment.
I was told in no uncertain terms that they had «taken themselves off there.» and I should call Groupon for a refund. Very annoying.
Now, if you’re unfamiliar with how Groupon works, a business will set a limited number of offers, or a limited window of offers for people to purchase and use within a particular timeframe. All of which are under the control of the business, so there should be no surprise when people call.
Much like any other coupon, the business is required to honor them, as they represent an advertised price. The Groupon is closed, but not honoring those already purchased is absolutely terrible service.
I’m not saying that Manhattan Periodontal doesn’t know dentistry, but they certainly don’t understand customer relations.

Dr. Nicholas Toscano, DDS is at the top of his game
.
He righted a big wrong by another dentist, has a great staff, knows how to handle a dental phobic (ME!) and is confident and kind.
When it comes to implants and periodontics,(I have experience with him in both areas) He is amazing. Hard for me to say this about a dentist as I fear dental work so much… but I mean it.
I’ve been through the mill and Dr. Toscano is my savior. Implant # 3 in the same tooth seems to be the magic one. The other 2 dentists didn’t get it right, but Dr. Toscano has.
You’d be lucky to be in his care.

I came here a year ago with my wife with a living social deal. They were very nice and professional to us as a matter of fact the cleaning wasn’t hurtful at all.
Recently I got my wife to do some shopping of groupon at another dentists group. She was busy and didn’t check their reviews. I went ahead and checked their reviews and saw so many bad reviews so I decided to throw that groupon away. And come back here where I got a good treatment.

I’ve been coming to Dr. Toscano for about five years now and he is by far the best dentists I’ve ever been to. It is evident that he really knows his stuff when it comes to implants and periodontics and it is also obvious that he genuinely cares about his patients. The office is run efficiently and the hygenist and staff are great as well. I’ve never had any issues booking appointments. In fact, when I was first referred to him by another dentist years ago, he allowed me to come for exam literally right away; anytime I’ve had an issue or concern since, he has also made time to see me promptly. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Toscano and his practice.

Came to Dr Toscano under a groupon and I must say I am in shock. Excellent service and he put my anxiety at ease. On the first visit he gave me a cleaning, exam, X-​rays and bleaching as part of the groupon. He also treated an abscess that I had in my gum and did not charge me and included it within my visit. Since then I been his patient of his for the past 6 months. He is thoughtful and treats me like family. He did an implant to replace my back tooth and it was virtually painless. Every time I go to his office it is very smooth and easy. He makes me like going to the dentist. I recommend him and his staff whole heartedly. Melissa does great cleanings and his assistant is a gem and help my hand during my implant to calm me.

I recently had gum surgery by Dr. Toscano and I cant say enough great things about him. He was very warm and sat with me to answer my questions so patiently. I didnt feel rushed at all. The surgery went really well and I am very happy with the results.
The offices are clean and the front desk staff are very helpful, especially with submitting the insurance claims.
Overall a good experience, (considering I had metal tools in my mouth.)

i HATE the dentist, so i was reluctant to come here with a groupon for a teeth cleaning. the staff was super nice, the appointment started on time, and the entire visit was stress-​free. definitely coming here from now on.

I find it difficult to review dentists because I often can’t tell how good of a job they do. Yet I was really impressed by the cleaning that I received here which was done by the actual dentist (he called himself Dr. Jeremy). He removed much more buildup than I remember having happen at other places.
As far as other factors, I was seen almost immediately after I arrived.

Wonderful. I used a Groupon for $ 49, including xrays, cleaning, and a cosmetic consultation. I didn’t need the last as I had orthodontia previously and was fine with my smile. What impressed me though was that this office (1) had lovely, friendly receptionists, and (2) that the cleaning itself was thorough without being excessively painful. As a graduate student without comprehensive dental insurance, I was impressed that the doctor not only promised to cap my cleaning fee (i.e. slide it based on my student status) but also recommended me to a general dentist who likewise did the same. I’ll be back, and will be recommending friends. It’s really difficult to find a good oral doctor in the city, and Groupon deals usually are for places that honestly, are terrible or try to push a bunch of treatments on you to increase your payment to them outside the coupon. Absolutely none of that here. Thank you!

I don’t normally write reviews but I am doing so because I feel so fortunate to have found this place and Dr. Toscano that I want to spread the wealth. (I moved to New York from out of state and I know how hard it is to find an honest dentist). I am actress and VERY particular about my teeth. Another actor friend of mine referred me to Dr. Toscano… I had already had a consultation with 3 other dentists bc I had been experiencing pain in my #3 tooth every time I ate… (I’ll spare you the details but to sum it up; another dentist did terrible work on my tooth, charged me $ 3000.00, couldn’t tell me what was causing the pain, and took away the only faith I had left in dentists. When Dr. Toscano examined my tooth he was honest and straight forward, telling me that an implant was my best option. My gut told me he was a good guy and I decided to trust him. My implant involved several stages: pulling the broken tooth, bone graph, the implant, and finally the crown. This took place over about 9 months… during each of these procedures I was comfortable and well cared for. The front desk girls are so nice and a pleasure to be around. After completing my implant, Dr. Toscano performed a crown lengthening (aka a gum lift) on my upper gums. I’ve always had a bit of a gummy smile but I never knew there was anything I could do about it. After researching the procedure I was a little nervous about how I was going to look. However I can honestly say it was the BEST thing I’ve ever done for myself. My smile looks completely natural, only 200% better! Dr. Toscano performed the gum lift on a Friday and by Monday I was back at work… My gums healed so quickly! I continue to go to the office every 4 months for a cleaning (best cleaning I’ve ever had)…To sum it up I am SO happy with Dr. Toscano’s work! If you are looking for a skilled, honest and reasonable dentist this is your guy!

I’m pretty fanatic about my teeth and I thought Dr. Toscano gave me advice that was both correct and sensible. He suggested several small but easy things I could do to insure the health of my teeth and so far, so good. His staff is nice and getting an appointment was reasonably easy.

Background: I had a gum infection a few months ago and though it has been taken care of by my previous dentist (by use of antibiotic, a disinfecting oral rinse, and a dental paste), the effect from this infection lingered. The oral rinsed caused horrible teeth staining and my gum became very sensitive. In addition to that, I started having a receding gum-​line. My insurance didn’t cover a periodontist visit so I was pretty depressed about it but then… groupon to the rescue! I saw a deal on Groupon for Manhattan Periodontal Associates! I jumped at the chance and I’m so glad I did!
Though, I’ll admit, I was a bit apprehensive about going here because I have a fear of dentist since none of my previous dentists measured up. But, I was very uncomfortable with my staining and worry about my gum… so I booked an appointment. As one of the previous Unilocaler mentioned, booking an appointment for the near month seems impossible; when I called and told them I had a groupon, I was told that the next available booking is in December. However, not willing to wait that long for my oral health, I called again and requested that if any appointment become available (from cancellation, etc.) if they could give me a call. Fortunately, a space did open up and I was able to get an appointment for 5 days later.
That was today. When I first went in, I was still shaky about what to expect. I opened the door and I saw three people in front of me. To me, that was not a good sign because I thought I had to wait. Lucky me, that was not the case. They had me fill out a form and approximately 5 minutes after I handed in the form, they took me in and they took good care of me. Super props for my hygienist, who really took the time to clean and care for my teeth. Now, my teeth are all sparkling like they should be. Dr. Toscano is also such a pleasure, he measured my gum pockets and told me I did have mild gum disease but that I shouldn’t worry because with proper care I will be fine. He gave me tips on how to care for my teeth and gums. Lastly, they gave me samples (toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss) and I LOVE samples!
Overall: Great practice! This is the place to go if you are looking for a team that will truly care for your oral health. FREE SAMPLES-​YAY! Final thought: a cleaning cost ~$ 200, I paid $ 69 (via groupon) but I think it is worth it and I would pay to come here for another cleaning/​consultation/​oral exam. I am so thankful for them! DO IT!

Tried my luck with this dentist by getting a Groupon. I should have bought a lottery ticket at the same time because it was a great experience. I initially had to book an appointment a few months in advance but they called me with last minute availability for the next day a few days later. Yay!
Dr. Toscano was my first dentist THIS CENTURY so I was a little nervous. At first I thought the hygienist was a little abrupt but she soon recognized I was a little nervous and unaware of the procedures and adjusted nicely. She was genial and informative, noting what she was doing and why throughout the process. She mentioned more than once that I could/​should tell her if I was in pain so she could adjust the pressure she was using which was helpful too.
Dr. Toscano was very pleasant and informative. He gave me an overview of some of the highlights (and lowlights) of the state of my oral health. I left feeling like I had a good handle on how my teeth were doing.
While I’m not necessarily «enthusiastic» about going back in 6 months, I certainly don’t dread it. I am really pleased to have a dentist that I like and trust as I start taking better care of my teeth going forward.

I tried to schedule an appointment but nothing is available until two months later… no good, .dont like that.

Dr. Toscano is truly one of a kind. Not only was I seen on time in his office but his staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. Dr. Toscano has a great bedside manner which made me feel very comfortable. I had a very gummy smile so Dr. Toscano did a crown lengthening procedure. There is now a remarkable difference in my smile. I had no pain after the procedure and Dr. Toscano personally took the time out and called me at my home that night to make sure that everything was OK. Had a great experience with this practice and highly recommend Dr. Toscano.
