Park Avenue Dental

Great experience! Very friendly and clean office. Doctor Taudel gave me one of the most thorough and gentle cleanings I’ve had in a very long time… no pain! I ask alot of questions and this doctor and staff were fun and willing to make sure I was completely satisfied and comfortable! I’ve found my forever Dentist!!!

I had a first and last time experience here. The receptionist is a very nice person although I waited for 30 minutes just for that stuff to be wrapped up. Luckily there is a massage chair in the waiting area which occupied my time for most of the waiting.
She took the Xrays. The dentist, who is highly rated on ZocDoc by the way, came in without an introduction and started her business. She was cleaning my teeth with the vigor of a man going into war. And man did I feel that she was doing something to my teeth. granted it had been a few «years» since my last cleaning but I was solidly cavity free per her. I didn’t recognize her in her scrubs and with her hair up and she didn’t tell me who she was but I put two and two together and figured it out after the fact.
I got a plaque attack that made me cringe and whine. I almost would have cried if it lasted just a bit longer. She didn’t seem amused or to think it was unusual that I was complaining as she scraped my teeth. Water was flying everywhere including down my mouth like I was drooling. Good thing I wasn’t dressed to impress that day. I really needed that bib that they use for cleansing. Thing is last place I went to had «gentle» in the title and they were still rough around the edges.
This is why I avoid the dentist! Damn you ZocDoc you’re a liar!
Also they called me twice, the first to tell me (warn me?) they were going to respond to my review and I spent 10 minutes talking to them about this back and forth. The second time I didn’t bother picking up.

Dr. Taudel is amazing. I’ve never been a fan of going to the dentist, but her and her staff made the experience as pleasant as a trip to the dentist can be. She took her time, did a great job on my teeth, and is the only dentist I’ll go to moving forward.

First and last time going today. Made apt 5 months ago, yet I get there and it’s not on file or in the system. They did get me in, but Dr. Taudel was the worst dentist I’ve ever been to. She did not ask any questions and rushed through my cleaning. Did not even do a floss and when I asked, the assistant looked at me like I was crazy. When I inquired about X-​rays, again I was met with a look of confusion and told I could do them next time «if I want.» Not thorough at all and not friendly in the least. Will not be back. Please look elsewhere if you want good dental care.

I was highly recommended Dr. Taudel and after a few visits to the office, I was less then impressed! Danielle at the front desk is WONDERFUL but when dealing with the other assistant/​dental hygienist it is a nightmare! She gets information confused constantly and at my last appointment I arrived two minutes early and another client walked in apologizing for being late. The other patient explained she understood if she couldn’t be taken that day because she was so late. 5 minutes after my appointment was scheduled they call the other patient in for an appointment! I was forced to wait another 40 minutes until the DR could see me!
At a different appointment the dental hygienist cut my lip and I only realized when I got in the car to leave.
Dr. Taudel is a fine dentist but she needs to get better assistance to allow her to work well– I have found a new dentist and I do NOT plan to return!

Dr Taudel is kind, patient and funny. She is very knowledgeable and her staff is friendly and warm. I work in Brooklyn and live in queens but I will always make the trip here for my teeth.

In the last month, my appointment was cancelled not once, but TWICE, within 10 minutes of the appointment… I was on the block of the office both times and both times, it resulted in me being over two hours late to work without even seeing the dentist (I commute out of the city). I thought the first time was an extenuating circumstance. but now after the second, it just seems that there is no care whatsoever to a patient’s time. I am utterly disappointed at the hours of time wasted at this point and the unapologetic response from the staff.

Dr. Mary Taudel does the cleanings herself and talks to you about any concerns you might have. She looks young, but has good experience. Her office receptionist are knowledgeable and friendly.

Had a very quick cleaning at first appt but seeing they have this Woodpecker gadget, perhaps that is why. Felt a chip on surface of back tooth after cleaning that I never noticed before… And, my teeth usually look brighter post-​cleaning and so I was disappointed and mildly skeptical.
Return for simple cavity, as per dentist. Fastest cavity filling procedure ever experienced and I’ve had several unfortunately. I find this more alarming than convenient. Unsurprisingly, I have sharp pain when I bite down on tooth or when eating for following 2 – 3 weeks. And I have a high pain tolerance but def some uncontrollable wincing. I will report this to dentist when I pick up my films but will be taking them to another dentist.
I find MDs in general rarely admit fault and no point in arguing a poor job. If they cared or were skilled enough, it prob wouldn’t have happened in first place.

never ever coming back here! and i suggest that you don’t come here either.
the staff were great. the assistant was very nice and so was the hygienist, she was very nice and thorough. dr omidi on the other hand was nasty and two faced. she was rude to her hygienist and was very mean to her assistant in front of me… very unprofessional to be screaming at them in front of me and i didnt see any reason for her to do that anyway.
the place was so old fashioned, yes they have digital xray but everything else looked so old, the lead apron they placed on me was all ripped. the placed look dirty.
i dont recommend the place. i feel bad for the staff.

I recommend Dr Omidi to as many people as I can. Originally I chose this place based on relative proximity to my office (3 blocks). I will keep going back because she and her staff are friendly and effective, she is thorough and honest and doesn’t try to upsell me on things I don’t need but did help tremendously with my tooth sensitivity and TMJ, and she has adorable Chanel shoes. Love her.

FUBAR referral service that needs to get their act together. Their appts are not ‘synched’ with the doctors’ schedules, so you may find yourself showing up for no reason. Best to call the office directly. The initiative has good intentions, with dentist averaging over 15yrs to provide service at competitive ‘NYU prices’. Grant it, you may have to go twice if you get a periodontist doing your cleaning, since removing stains is too low brow for them. I got ‘hooked up’ with a free cleaning since I am part of a non-​profit Meetup group. After all is said and done, I got a NiteBrite AC whitening kit and custom plastic mouth mold trays gratis for the inconvenience. There is a $ 50 no show charge within 24hrs of your appt, so don’t flake. At least they’re high tech, I guess.
This is what they used:
Orthoralix 8500 — 360 xray standing up — no vest required
Woodpecker — supposedly only orthodontists can use it. hygienists can’t…5min cleaning
