Lenox Hill Dental: Irina Starik, DMD

"Lenox Hill Dental sets the standard of exceptional dental care. My wife has been coming here for over 2 years and myself for over 1 year now; let's just say we would like to come here for as long as possible. Since coming here, we both have had phenomenal care. She referred me after I had struggled with months of pain from an incomplete root canal at my previous dentist. I have been taken care of by Dr. Starik and mainly Dr. Sherman. Both approached my dental issues carefully and conservatively. During difficult instances such as a challenging root canal or suspicion for infection, they gladly referred me to an endodontist before proceeding with my general needs. In the past year, I have had multiple crown placements and cleanings completed carefully and seamlessly. As fellow healthcare workers, we can recognize outstanding providers and quality care easily. Dr. Sherman has been especially amazing. To highlight her bedside manner, she is able to answer questions effortlessly, she remembers personal details from me & my wife's personal lives, and she communicates with her staff respectfully & kindly. As a dentist, her skill is unparalleled. She is prudent & strategic with her approach and is extremely gentle with her handwork. I have never felt so comfortable and pampered at a dental clinic. I would also like to recognize all of the assistants who are just as wonderful and skillful. Lenox Hill Dental gets our highest recommendation. Please consider this clinic for all of your dental needs."

"Lenox Hill dental is the only dentist I will ever go to in Manhattan. They are clean, efficient, effective, and treat all their patients with kindness. I’ve never found a dentist office like this before and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new dentist!! If I could give them more than 5 stars I would."

"I love Lenox Hill Dental. I have had such a wonderful experience with the staff. They do excellent work, taking time to make sure they’re doing everything they can to do things right the first time. I cannot recommend them enough."

"I found Dr.Starik through my insurance. These are the aspects of this office and dentist I did and did not like. What I didn’t like: Dr.Starik has no bedside manner. I always felt like I was inconveniencing her. She also hurt me quite a few times but wasn’t very apologetic. She performed a root canal and it took weeks to get a crown because she sized my tooth wrong so I had to get a temporary one TWICE.Even after the real crown was in it took months to feel normal and still hurts sometimes. Knowing I have to get another crown I decided to find another dentist who doesn’t blame their mistakes on the lab or whoever else and instead has some semblance of a warm personality. They also don’t offer any sort of TV or music options to comfort you. When Dr. Starik did my cleaning it took 10 minutes and didn’t feel thorough at all. Lastly, they DO NOT GIVE YOU A GOODIE BAG! I’m shocked none of the reviews mentioned the fact that they don’t give you a toothbrush and toothpaste when you leave. That’s the best part of going to the dentist. What I did like: Dental hygienists and the secretary are all super nice and the only positive part of going to this dental office. I also like how they have late afternoon/evening appointments. Bottom line, it appears lots of people enjoy this dentist which is great for them but I preferred to get a second opinion and wow, do I wish I had done that sooner! Thanks."

"I've been going here for about six years. I used to hate going to the dentist, but everyone here is so personable, kind, and careful! I never worry about heading to the dentist any more. The preventive cleanings and the occasional fillings I've had done in the past are always pain free and have never broken on me. I also haven't had a cavity for years now! I always recommend them to my close friends and colleagues and they've always thanked me afterwards! Dr. Starik and her team are unrivaled and I highly recommend them for any of your dental needs!"
