I have always been satisfied with the level of care I receive from Dr. Poiman and his staff. They are very professional, comprehensive, and caring. Earlier in my life dental visits used to come with a certain amount of anxiety. Under the treatment of Dr.Poiman my teeth look better than ever and any 'invasive' procedures have been pain free.

Patient Review 4:

Dr Poiman is an incredible dentist - the one you are looking for. I had serious problems with 10+ cavities per year and no one could help me. I went to Dr. Poiman and he figured out the bacteria in my saliva are much worse in terms of cavity than most other people. With special mouthwashes and other treatments we are working to solve this problem

Dr Poiman also diagnosed my problems with Teeth Grinding and has created a very clear multi-step plan to solve this problem too.

Finally, I have had cavities filled by Dr. Poiman and it is a dream come true. If you are a person (like me) who simply can't stand needles and drills - then Dr. Poiman is the dentist for you. It is literally criminal that there aren't more dentists who invest in and use the latest laser technology. I used to have extra novacaine (two shots instead of one or three instead of two) and I just had two cavities done with Dr Poiman WITH NO NOVACAINE AT ALL! THE WATERLASE IS REALLY THAT GOOD! He says that he will have to numb me for the absolute worst of cavities, but I can live with that. I promise that if you go to Dr Poiman you will switch dentists because he is just the best there is (I have seen over 5 dentists in the last year!) for every patient

About Hygienist: Nicole, Dr Poiman's assistant, has a great bedside manner and attitude. She help Dr. P at every point in the procedures and ensures that everything gets done as quickly and smoothly as possible. A really great girl - just one more reason to give Dr Poiman a try - you will be very happy!

Treatment Length with Dr. Poiman: 2 months.

Patient Review 7:

I began seeing Dr. Poiman approximately 2 years ago. I left my last dentist when he wanted to charge me $1600 and give me a gold cap for one of my rear teeth because it had a slight crack. I did not feel like I wanted a big gold tooth in my mouth and it sounded very expensive.

As soon as I got to Dr. Poiman's office, I was called to come in the back. Even today, I have never waited more than 5 minutes! He looked at the tooth that the other dentist wanted to cover in gold. Instead, he filed down the tooth that touched the cracked tooth when I chewed so as to alleviate the contact. We then watched it for approximately 2 years. Recently, Dr. Poiman informed me that the crack had gotten bigger and he recommended changing the filling. He explained it all to me. When I came in for the appointment, I had just bent my knees to begin to sit down when I was called to the back. I am NOT a big fan of the dental chair. I hate having all that stuff in my mouth, I hate the sounds of the equipment and I despise the feeling of my saliva spraying all over my face. Anyway, believe it or not, I FELL ASLEEP duing the procedure and I got local anesthetic only!!

What more can I say - the doc is operating at the very top of the profession.

Dr Poiman is my dentist and I have been very satisfied with the results. What can i say, he is gentle, well spoken, and he explains everything he is doing while he works. I feel very comfortable placing my trust in him. I now brought the whole family including my mother-in-law and everyone agrees Dr Poiman is the best.

Thank you Doc! We love U!

A very satisfied customer.

I love the staff, everybody is friendly and I never have to wait longer then 5 minutes. Hygienist is thorough and experienced. Dr. Poiman is so calm and calming. I usually freak out on a dentist's chair, but he completely took my fear away. Quick, pain free procedures, and laser is a great plus. Would (and already did) recommend him to all my friends and family.

I can't praise Dr. Poiman enough. He's simply the best Dentist I've ever had. When I first came to him, I had some pretty bad problems with my gums. Dr Poiman treated me, and less than 6 months later, it's like I never had any problems at all!

In addition to being one of the kindest people I've ever met, he's honest, and never uses any pressure at all. I'll never forget the time I found out I needed to have all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed. I was feeling nervous and unsure about it, and I told him how I felt. Before I left his office, he actually came out to the waiting room, sat down next to me, and talked to me like I was family.

Thank you Dr Poiman- and please, please, don't ever leave me!!!!

Dr. Poiman and his staff all rate 5 stars.

He is knowledgeable, caring and a perfectionist in his work.

If a trip to the dentist can be pleasant and pain free this is it.

I would highly recommend this practice to family and friends.

Dr. Poiman is the BEST - I've had horrible past experiences with dentists growing up, but he turned that around for me when I moved to New York. I actually look forward to going to the dentist now (almost) every six months, because he and his staff are friendly, professional and accessible. The equipment they use is top notch and their techniques are painless with the laser instead of that awful numbing & drilling of the past. I trust the staff completely. I've referred Dr. Poiman to several friends who all rave about him as well. I like getting the monthly newsletter with the latest news in the dental world too - it shows that Dr. Poiman enjoys his job and cares about learning the best new techniques for treating patients.

Patient Review 14:

Due to a bad experience, I avoided the dentist. Some might call me a "Dental Phobe." I finally decided to go and found Dr. Poiman on Dr. Oogle.

I made an appointment and was very nervous. I live about 1/2 hour away. My first & second visits confirmed two things: (1) I needed work done, and (2) Dr. Pioman and his staff are the best!

Dr. Poiman is supremely professional, pleasant, gentle, and great at what he does. I have 100% trust in him and have no more fear of the dentist. I am actually looking forward to getting my situation in order.

His office and staff make you feel relaxed as well. There are no loud noises, people running around, or crowds in the waiting room.

As far as cost, I want the job done right, not who who might be the cheapest. If you want quality and a good experience, go to Dr. Pioman. If you want the cheapest around, go somewhere else and you will get what you pay for.

Although I need more work done, which is due to my neglect, I no longer fear the dentist and Dr. Poiman is the 100% right person for the job. He is as good as it gets.

If you are like me and fear the dentist, see Dr. Poiman. I can't thank him and his office enough for how they have treated me so far.

Treatment Length with Dr. Poiman: 1 Month.

Setting up an appointment on the phone is aweful. I did not get anyone getting back to me within 24 hours as their admin stated. Normal offices schedule appointments on the phone at the time of the call.

This office used to have a normal phone-call practice, but things definitely took a turn for the worst!!!!

My follow up exam/treatment was a reprise of my initial impression/treatment. He was competent,honest and obviously takes great pride in his careful work..I come from a family with dentists located,unfortunately, 3000 miles away, but i must say that Dr.Poiman treats me like family, and i am happy i found such a rare wholistic,multi-talented provider in a field full of incompetence and exploitation..

Patient Review 17:

Finding an honest dentist in New York is truly like finding a needle in a haystack. After visiting several dentists in the area for a consulation on porcelain veneers, I was left totally confused and concerned with the procedure, costs, and their medical and cosmetic ability. Then, I met Dr. Poiman and his wonderful staff. He took the time to explain everything to me, answered all of my millions of questions, and resolved my uneasiness. In addition, whereas other dentists were quick to get the veneers on, I felt like Dr. Poiman actually cared about my dental health-thank g-d! Now I know my teeth not only look great, but are in the best condition they have ever been in. I highly recommend this doctor and his practice.

Dr. Poiman is extremely personable and is a very gentle dentist. His staff was very friendly and helpful as well. The best and most surprising thing about his practice is his use of the water laser. It made my procedures completely pain-free. No needles, no numbing, no pain at all. It was really amazing. I would recommend Dr. Poiman to anyone.

Treatment Length with Dr. Poiman: 3 months.

I've been rather wary about finding a dentist in the city. It seems like it could be easy to make a bad choice. I'm really glad that I found Dr. Poiman. The office is comfortable and modern, with touches of personality sprinkled throughout. The staff was kind and checked to make sure that I was OK throughout my cleaning and check-up. They offered great advice about how I could improve my dental health. Dr. Poiman is a great guy and did a good job cleaning my teeth. Maybe I'm just happy because I didn't have any cavities! Overall, a solid choice if you're searching for a new dentist.
