Sinkin Michael L, DDS

2^nd generation of my family to be patients of Dr. Sinkin. He is a caring, competent, wonderful dentist and man. Years ago he made a house call in an emergency. He will never mention it, but we know he has helped those who could not afford proper care. His office staff is congenial and nurses and hygienists excellent. Strongly recommend.

Dr. Sinkin has my highest recommendation for anyone who is looking for a compassionate and highly qualified service provider. While I was in between insurance companies, the doctor helped me get out of pain quickly and rearrange his schedule to accommodate my emergency. Furthermore, he advised the most cost-​effective procedure without putting me in a position that I couldn’t afford. I say without reservation but this is one of the most honest dentists in New York City. If you need a dentist with a heart that will give you one-​million dollar smile, this is your guy.

Awesome dentist! Clean office. The most thorough cleaning I ever got. I was going to a different dentist all my life who had outdated equipment. A coworker referred me to Dr. Sinkin and in one visit, they scrapped off cement that was still on my teeth from years ago when I had braces that my old dentist never mentioned. They also gave me a prescription and special toothbrush to clean my back left tooth that was always hard for me to reach and was softening. When I had asked my old dentist about the back tooth, he told me most people can’t get back there! At my appointment with Dr. Sinkin’s office, they said I would have developed a cavity had I waited longer. All in all, Dr. Sinkin’s office is clean, thorough, and patient focused.

I must say the bulk of my experience with Dr Sinkins was nothing short of a nightmare. He worked on an old crown I had and in his rush to finish, he worked in my mouth while I had an on going infection and cause me the most serve pain I had ever experienced. While he half heartily apologized for not giving me a stronger antibiotic he was quick to collect the almost $ 2,000. out of pocket. Long story short — the crown ended cracking after a few month and Dr. Sinkins response was this can happen with an old crown. It would have been nice to know that fact before hand.
I strongly suggest you save yourself pain and suffering and expense and seek dental care somewhere else.

Best, kindest, most thorough dentist I’ve ever had. Makes coming to the dentist something I look forward to, such is the level of care he and his staff show their patients.

I was initially referred by my boss who has seen Dr Sinkin for years and have been a patient since 2005. In addition to routine cleanings — which they do expertly — Dr Sinkin has resolved multiple dental issues for me and the numerous friends I have sent his way. The treatment from Barbara and the staff are as top notch as the medical attention. There is no better dentist in NYC.

I cannot believe I am writing a review of my dentist, but he is that good. I have had 3 dentists in Midtown and Dr. Sinkin is by far the best. He is a true perfectionist who puts the long-​term health of your teeth before everything else. His staff is wonderful and personable. From root canals to teeth whitening, everything has been as pleasant an experience as one can possibly expect. His staff is very knowledge and will inform you on exactly what to expect from any issue or treatment. I would recommend Sinkin to anyone. I could not have imagined the amount of compliments I have received since my whitening procedure. It was very simple and 5 people have asked me where I had my teeth whitened.

Dr Sinkin and his staff are amazing. I can’t say enough good things about my experience here. I highly recommend them for anyone who is nervous about going to the dentist and wants quality dentistry done.
I have had a lot of dentistry in the past and had a sincere phobia of the dentist. I originally came to Dr Sinkin for a second opinion after another dentist had recommended what seemed like an exorbitant amount of dental work, including having my wisdom teeth removed and several partial crowns. Thank goodness I went– turned out that although I did have a lot to take care of there was a more conservative way to do so (which included keeping my wisdom teeth and saved me from many more costly procedures). Dr Sinkin and the staff are incredibly patient and really helped me overcome my fears by explaining what was happening and making the work truly pain-​free (multiple fillings, gum remodeling, even two dreaded root-​canals were painless). I never realized going to the dentist didn’t have to hurt! I no longer get sweaty palms when I see a dentist chair. Also, the quality of the work is amazing– Dr Sinkin has remedied problems I’ve had from work of other dentists and everything looks great and feels natural, and won’t need to be redone in two years. Scheduling is easy, the staff is amazing, Dr Sinkin’s work and bedside manner are wonderful. He really cares about his patients and takes pride in his work. I have recommended him to all of my friends and family.

Dr. Sinkin and his entire staff could not be anymore comforting and kind. I’ve had a couple of procedures from deep cleanings, a root canal and cosmetic bonding on my two front teeth, all were painless and all had amazing results. The bonding has totally changed my smile in the best way. Barbara at the front desk always calls me after procedures to make sure I’m ok, she also helps me manage my insurance plan. I totally recommend Dr. Sinkin, he’s a very talented Dentist and a very caring person.

Best Dentist EVER! The entire office staff is fantastic. I was having major work done on my two front teeth over a year ago and the dentist I was using just didn’t have the experience so I went to see Dr. Sinkin and he performed a miracle on the two most visible teeth in my mouth. There is no way you could tell that they are not my natural teeth. He worked so hard because he knew how important it was to me. The hygienists in his office are also amazing… they were so kind to me throughout my many visits with that procedure and are always super friendly, following up on the small talk we’d engaged in during my previous visit.
I was just there today and got a nice little session of acupuncture while I was having my regular cleaning done because my jaw has been killing me recently. It felt markedly improved when I left.
Scheduling appointments is so easy and they’re right in midtown, a stones throw from GCT.
HIGHLY recommended. It’s the best Dentist to go to if you have any sort of anxiety about it.

I went in to my dentist’s office for a routine filling. Afterwards, my molar was sensitive and I experienced pain when chewing. I went back in for two adjustments and the tooth just got worse. I am a total hypocondriac, so I was pretty upset. I asked my friends for a new dentist recommendation — got Dr. Sinkin’s name — and Thank God. His receptionist, Barbara, spoke to me on the phone for over ten minutes and gave me advice. Dr. Sinkin fit me in for an appointment and he immediately located the problem — a spot on my tooth where all the enamel had been worn away by constant drilling. I was terrified (I don’t have dental insurance) and frustrated, so I started to cry in the chair like a big baby. Dr. Sinkin stayed with me in the room, comforted me, and told me everything was going to be fine. He’s seen me several times to check on the tooth, and when I call to follow up he always gets on the phone to talk to me directly.
Everyone on staff here is helpful and sweet. Dr. Sinkin is funny and caring. I have complete trust in him. I would recommend him to anyone I know.
You couldn’t ask for a better experience at the dentist. Make your appointment now!

I was away from NYC for 7 years and when i got referred to Dr. Sinkin — i didn’t have any expectations — just wanted to find someone i liked and trust. Well now i am home for 2 years and I couldn’t be happier. Check ups are easy and great not that i have many cavities — I have done a few other procedures with him — the teeth whitening he does is GREAT!!! But the teeth whitening isn’t why i think he is a good dentist bottom line he cares about his patients!
For example — I had a bite plate made by a dentist in San Francisco — I told Dr. Sinkin i had a bite plate that didn’t feel comfortable — as well as telling him I was annoyed that it wasn’t comfortable and he asked that i bring it in — and he adjusted it to fit my mouth. Being that I am not a dentist so my knowledge base isn’t on the same level with his — he could have told me to have a new one made and charged me an arm and a leg — I wouldn’t have known — instead he adjusted it and made it work. Now in my eyes that is someone who is cares — who is looking out for my best interest not just a way to make an extra buck. With a dentist like this — I feel like I am home and even if i moved to another part of the country Dr. Sinkin is one of the reasons I would come into NYC to go to my dentist…

Dr. Sinkin is a thorough and thoroughly entertaining dentist. A trip to his office has always been pleasant and anxiety free. His staff really makes an effort to make you feel comfortable and to get to know you. As someone who has dreaded going to the dentist his entire life, for me, Dr. Sinkin is a great relief.

A doctor who really gets social media. Dr. Sinkin found me on Twitter at a time I was experiencing some dental pain and I decided to give him a shot since my other dentist hadn’t had luck. In 20 minutes Dr. Sinkin had found the source of my pain and by the next day I had no pain and he had a new patient. Did I mention he was able to see me on the next business day?
Dr. Sinkin has fabulous bedside manner especially for those of us who are terrified of the dentist. He explained what he was doing and what I could expect to feel as he worked. I like the high-​tech set up where you can see what he’s done on the tv screen and I also love the tv/​music to distract me while he’s working. I don’t really want to think about the work that he’s doing, I just love that it doesn’t hurt any more.
Dr. Sinkin’s team from his hygenist to his assistants and Barbara in reception are wonderful. They really make you feel welcome and like they care about you personally. I have a new dentist for as long as I’m in the area and he’s practicing.
