Perfect Smiles Orthodontics

I cannot recommend Dr. Bukholts higher! I showed up practically in tears after seeing my oldest daughter’s x Rays and she has immediately made me feel better by explaining the situation and the steps that need to be taken in a very calm, candid, and professional way. Now she treats all four of my children and the improvements are evident and amazing! Even the kids themselves can see that their braces are working. Thru also enjoy their appointments — Dr. Bukholts has the best bedside manner! I have been sending to her all my friends children — and quite a few adults, too! She is simply the best :))

My niece is visiting us from Chicago and she had some kind of wire failure with her braces. The wire from her braces was somehow poking into her cheek and she was miserable and could not eat. We were worried it could turn possibly turn into an infection. We realized we needed to quickly find an Orthodontist in our neighborhood who could take her on a moment’s notice even though she was not a regular patient. We surfed the Internet and found a bunch of orthodontists on the Upper West Side but nobody would take see her because she was not under their care. We called a friend who has a teen with braces and heard she was seeing Dr. Bukholts. We called the office and we were told that the orthodontist was gone for the day (it was after 6pm on a Friday) but the office manage said she would phone her and call us back shortly. A few minutes later we were told to bring my nice to the office and Dr. Bukholts walked in at the same time. We had the problem looked at, fixed and done, all in less than 15 minutes. All of Dr. Bukholts staff was also very sweet and kind and the office is immaculate. I could not be more pleased with the level of service and professionalism, and quality of results. I would wholeheartedly recommend Perfect Smiles Orthodontics to anyone.

Doctor called after reading review, apologized and offered refund, which I declined.
³⁄₂₆ I wanted to provide another update to anyone interested… I have since sought a second opinion from another orthodontist in Manhattan who determined that my open bite would be easily resolved via Invisilign 10, or possibly 5. My quote was HALF the price of this orthodontist and will take half the time. This doctor, by the way, took the time to review my X-​rays, and spent nearly 35 minutes just discussing options with me, and patiently answering my questions. I happily signed on the dotted line. Perfect smile: here I come.
Update 7÷15… Because many people have asked, Dr Lee at LK advanced dentistry is fabulous.

My son had another appointment and was very excited to get his braces. Very prompt and nice personnel. A very professional doctor. Looking forward to another visit! :)

They had me at Hello! So friendly, so accommodating, so nice:) I came in, as soon as I filled out paperwork I was seen by the Dr. She gave me a few options how to fix my crowded teeth. I choose Invisalign. I can’t wait to start! I also loved how the office looked– straight out of Architectural Digest! Great experience so far! Highly recommended:))))

I was happy to say that my experience at perfect smiles was a great one, I had braces as a teenager and after a couple years have pasted I started I notice some changes and I was in the market for a new orthodontist, one of my good friends referred me to her and it was one of the best experiences that’s I’ve had with a dentist I. A while .The office was very well maintained and staff members were so nice and friendly !! I would recommend to anyone I know !!

I have been to perfect smiles Orthodontics several times this year. I will say that my experience has been nothing short of great every time. To start, Dr. Buckholts has always made time to see me, even if my appointment was last minute. She is extremely professional and thorough with her work and has created a warm and comfortable environment in her office. I would recommend Perfect Smiles to anyone interested in great quality and service.

I am happy to give Dr. Buckholts and her team 5 stars. I’ve been a patient at Perfect Smiles for just about one year now, and my experience has been an entirely positive one. Needing orthodontic treatment as a result of a bad decision from a previous dental provider, I was hesitant to trust just anyone, but Dr. Buckholts did an amazing job. Not only is her work completely professional but she is so patient and VERY accommodating. Just the other day I stopped in (I did not have an appointment, but was a block away), and Dr. Buckholts was able to squeeze me for a quick adjustment. Also, her receptionist, Lana, is so warm and friendly. If you are not able to pay the entire amount for your treatment Dr. Buckholts is more than happy to set you up on a payment plan (which is what I opted to do). I expect to get my braces off next week and could not be happier. I would recommend Dr. Buckholts to anyone!

Dr Bukholts was so very patient and kind with my 9 year old son. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great Orthodontist. She was able to convince him to calm down long enough to take a full impression as well as x-​rays. We were referred to her by our local dentist, because my son has a overbite and our Dentist thought he needed to get braces right away. Dr Olga told us to wait until all his baby teeth fall off and all new teeth grow in, thus saving him added year on unnecessary pain and visits to the Ortho. I cant tell you how honest and refreshing it was to hear that, and I have told that story to quite a few parents at my sons school, and thus recommended her for when the kids need treatment. We will definitely be going back for treatment and anyone else in the family that may need her services. Also if you have any waiting time, which we did not, you and your kids will love all the video games, guitar hero they have in waiting area.

HELL HATH NO FURY AS A PATIENT SCORNED!
I went to see Dr. Olga Bukholts on a strong recommendation by a dentist. And I am SO sorry I did. My gripe with her revolves around two issues:
1) This scam artist charges a $ 100 «consultation fee» when most other orthodontists do it for free. Moreover, it wasn’t declared at the time I made the appointment. Only after the «consultation» was over (all of two minutes of peering at my teeth) did the receptionist announce that a payment was due which I duly paid. Only later did I learn that NO other orthodontist charges this «consultation fee»! If this hasn’t deterred you, read on.
2) After the initial consultation where we agreed on a payment plan, brace design, etc., this QUACK refused to return my phone call/​email when I wanted to set up a follow-​up appointment. NO REASON was given — I simply never heard from her again following the first appointment. I will say this — Dr. Bukholts bedside manner was nice, but how does it matter when she refuses to respond to you following the initial paid consultation? You’re taking a chance on paying her $ 100 for the privilege of having her look at your teeth — something that most other orthodontists do for free.
I am being altruistic to my fellow human beings and warning you’ll off this CON! Next stop — The Haggler at the New York Times (The Better Business Bureau does not entertain complaints involving medical/​legal work. more’s the pity).
«Perfect Smiles»? Make that «Perfect GRIMACE Orthodontics»!!
