Nai Yan Lam Inc

"This review is long overdue. My husband and I have been seeing Dr Lam for years. In the height of the pandemic, my husband chipped a tooth, and we searched high and low for a dentist that could see him asap and hopefully have fair pricing as we don't have dental insurance. The r/nyc subReddit is how we initially found him (many recommended him there), and then I looked up his reviews and we knew we had to give him a try. They hype is real, Dr Lam is incredible knowledged, gentle, kind, and reasonably priced. The whole staff is also very nice. It turned out my husband had gum and dental disease and has needed a lot of work over the years to get his mouth healthy again, and thanks to Dr Lam he was able to get superior work at a price that didn't bankrupt us. Dr Lam's daughter also works there (also named Dr Lam) and is equally knowledgable, kind, and effecient. Both Dr Lams have done my cleanings and check ups as well (I haven't needed anything beyond cleanings and check ups). They are pragmatic in their approach and never recommend anything that is not actually needed. If you're looking for an excellent dentist at affordable prices, this is where you want to go."

"Did a thorough examination with multiple x-rays. Said I had two options with my back molar. The cavity had not invaded the root but it was close to it. I had two options, either take a risk with a cavity filling or do the root canal. Seeing that the price difference was substantial and I didn't want to completely destroy the tooth, I decided to try the former. After the procedure, doctor did x-rays again to see for any abnormalities and I was cleared. Over a year later I have no issues."

"My son has referred me to Dr. Lam’s office. The clinic is clean and well organized. Dr Lam is very competent and knowledgeable. More importantly, is so honest. As this was my first visit to a dentist in 5 years, He has checked and x rayed all my mouth (as per my request). He was so patient in making sure that the crown is comfy and has kept grinding and printing till I felt the crown is so good. The front desk was so helpful and decent. Price is really very good compared to the very exaggerated pricing of most if not all dentistry offices in NY & NJ. Strongly recommend. You will never regret it."

"I was super excited when I first found Dr. Lam, as I needed a root canal badly, and my insurance was not trying to cover it. The cash price was very reasonable for a root canal and a 'porcelain' crown, and now I understand why. About 6 months after I got the crown, I noticed a hole in the middle of it. I asked my primary dentist about it, but he didn't seem concerned. October 2022, a little over a year after my root canal sessions were finished and I had my crown place. Like an Apple product right after its warranty expires, my crown decided to fail. I contacted their office, hoping I would be able to get my crown repaired and re-affixed to my tooth, hoping they would back up their work. I was charged $60, which should've been free given how quickly the crown failed. It is now January 2023, another hole has developed and my crown has once again come off. This time, I unfortunately ended up chomping down on it while I was eating. I'm hoping no other damage was done as biting 'porcelain' is not what your teeth are made for. The moral of the story is to just save your $1100, and fly to Mexico for your root canal or any other procedure this office might offer for a 'reasonable' price."
