Yiselle Castillo, DDS

Dr. Castillo is the best dentist I have ever been to.
She is so nice, gentle, knowledgeable and the procedures are not painful. She will make sure you have numbing gel or whatever it needs for you to be comfortable. Her assistants are also very sweet.
I have had the worst dental experiences in the past with many many dentists… I was always in a lot of pain at the dentist and repetitively told «I don’t brush or floss enough» (which I do!!) and I was told that I would need some severe gum procedures done… I tried finding another dentist because I was so nervous around my old one. I’m so happy I found Dr. Castillo (a referral from endo Dr. Young Bui). She told me the gum procedures were not necessary and helped me fix up my teeth (painlessly, I couldn’t believe it) and she helped me get Invisalign to improve my smile. I’m very grateful for Dr. Castillo and truly recommend her. She is very patient and really cares about you.
(Also, the receptionists are the most pleasant beings on this earth).
If you are looking for a great dentist look no further!

In theory, Dr. Castillo is a nice dentist. But, when it comes to administrative things like calling someone back or replying to an email when they say they will, their office is just not there. For this reason alone, I’ve had to find another dentist. Literally, for weeks I called and called and emailed and left messages, and no one ever answered the phone or called me back. So, I couldn’t get my appointment or care. On to the next dentist.

I feel ok «sharing» Dr. Castillo now that I realized I can just make my appointments six months in advance! She is awesome. Unlike any other dentist I’ve ever been to, she personally takes care of pretty much the entire visit including cleaning. Other dentists normally just make a two minute cameo appearance where they take a quick look in your mouth and say, «You should floss more.»

I have been going to Dr. Castillo for 8+ years. I recommend her to everyone I know. Both of my siblings also see her. She is truly one in a million. Highly recommend!

I just moved back to New York, and I am excited to see Dr. Castillo. She is the best dentist that I have ever had. Most dentist visits are dreaded; Dr. Castillo, was the first and last dentist that I actually look forward to because her advice helps in the long run, she is patient, and somehow she minimizes the pain! Excellent dentist.

I went to see Dr. Castillo thanks to my boyfriend. He found her through his work intranet. She had good recommendations. He had two fillings and he is quite happy with them.
I had several teeth problems (a crooked and impacted wisdom tooth), trouble giving root canals. As my case was pretty particular, she sent me to specialists about the wisdom tooth and the root canal. Those two doctors were good as well, especially the dental surgeon for the wisdom tooth, Peter Sherman, he is the best. I appreciate her sending me to specialists. Some doctors just want to do it all themselves.
Then I had to say bye to one of my problematic root canal teeth and went to Dr. Castillo for the extraction. I believe she did a good job, no swelling no infection (it’s been three days so far). The reason I like Dr. Castillo is she cares about her patients. I texted her on her emergency phone and she was really helpful. I am going to get an implant in 3 – 6 months and will report on that as well.

Dr Castillo is a fantastic dentist!!!

I was recommended to see Dr. Castillo by my friend and co-​worker. Dr. Castillo is very pleasant and seemed very knowledgable to me. I have to go for a second visit soon, but giving 3 stars now since I had to wait for 35 min in the waiting room. Given that I only have 1 hour lunch time, it’s a little bit of inconvenience. But Dr. Castillo apologized for the wait and made sure that I wasn’t rushed out. Oh… Another drawback, the office doesn’t have 360 degree X-​Ray machine so the assistant had to use old fashion 50 films for the whole mouth to take x-​rays.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Castillo’s for many years now. I’ve been going to her since I was about 8 years old. I get compliments on my smile all the time. She is a great, pleasant person. I’m one of the only people I know who has no fear or dislike of the dentist and it’s all thanks to Dr. Castillo.

After a friend suggested this dentist, I couldn’t be happier. Most have insurance so the twice a year visit doesn’t register that much on your radar. But with Dr. Castillo, I had that great twice a year experience with care and understanding throughout, but what set her apart was when I needed more than just a cleaning.
I had some extensive work on my teeth needed which Dr. Castillo gave me all the options, cost and timeline. The staff were always up front on the cost, insurance coverage and giving me the truth throughout the process.
The main thing you want from a dentist is too feel relaxed and taken care of. With Dr. Castillo you have that and more. Feel confident you are making the right choice if you are on the fence about a new dentist in NYC.

Every good Dentist story begins the same way …
«after years of awful dentists … «
Well my story is no different. I had a Dentist so bad they messed up not one… not two but three root canals.
(they were all fine at first just in hindsight they were not done well If i could find him and write a bad review I would … just don’t go to a dentist across from the Silouette in Boston)
Needless to say this is the best Dentist I have ever been to. I suggest her to everyone. And won’t be leaving her any time soon.
