Flossophy"Over 25 years of working and living on the premises has kept me close to my patients. Now that’s true 24-hour emergency service. It’s made a difference keeping appointments timely especially in inclement weather. I think it’s the personal service that keeps families coming back here year after year. They come from far and wide. Maybe it’s the unlimited free parking or the scenic picture windows. Maybe it's the SportsDDS.com occlusal guards. Sometimes I forget this is NYC. People are always hugging me & smiling. It makes me feel proud!" -Michael D. Kurtz, DDS

office is proud to say that our hygienists are trained in the latest

population of harmful bacteria. It is cost effective and less
invasive than having to have periodontal or cardiovascular surgery.
