Gowanus Dental - Illya Alex Tarasenko DMD 163 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

"2024: As someone who is chronically ill and sees specialists constantly, going to this dentist is the only time I'm not anxious at all. I still look forward to my appointments even after all these years because everyone there is so sweet and understanding. 2017: This sounds odd about going to see the dentist but I have to say how much I love going to this office. The staff is so caring and friendly and Dr Illya always goes above and beyond with your care and explaining everything step by step. It always feels like family when I'm there. I remember the first time I went to his office for a routine cleaning because it's been a while and the x-ray showed that I needed to have my wisdom teeth removed (I've been putting that off for a long LONG time!). He did the procedure same day and it was painless. They were also kind enough to provide me with their cell number in case I had any questions after hours or needed anything over the weekend. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place!"

"My first visit to Dr. Tarasenko was a pleasant experience. My dental hygienist Sylwia gave me a very thorough dental cleaning. The Gowanus Dental clinic has the latest modern dental equipment and the staff are very helpful and friendly.I also had two fillings done on my molars by Dr. Tarensko today. He was very fast and efficient. He's very experienced and I trust his skills. Cool guy too. Nice free swag."

"Gowanus Dental is truly the best dentist's office I've ever been to, and I'm so lucky it's so close to home (even though I'd travel to it even if it wasn't)! I've always been terrified of the dentist, but Dr. Tarasenko and his staff are so professional and calming. Yesterday, I had 2 wisdom teeth removed, which I'd been dreading for months. The team was able to put me at ease, and I'm so glad I went through with it. Night and day between my first extraction experience and this one! Would highly recommend Gowanus Dental to everyone in the area."

"This is the best dentist office you’ll ever go to. It is clean, consists of a knowledgeable & friendly staff, organized, accessible via phone, email AND text, and provides patients with an overall calming experience. I also have never had to wait here. As soon as I arrive I am escorted right to a room and chair. I just had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed. I’m a relatively anxious person when it comes to needles and “surgery” type procedures. Dr. Illya made me comfortable, confident and ensured I’d be in an out in no time. And in fact, he was right! There was very little pain, I was in and out in 40 minutes, and was provided clear instructions on recovery. Very thankful for Dr. Illya and his staff for being the best dentist office in all of NYC! If you’re a Brooklyn local and looking for a dentist, your search ends here."

"There is no better dentist in NYC. I had a completely positive experience from the appointment process to the several procedures done. Not to mention the kindness and warmth form the staff. Dr Tarasenko has hands of an angel. I had three wisdom teeth removed on the same day. The doctor removed my first tooth I did not even realize the tooth was out until it was in his hands. The doctor explains everything step by step as he is doing it so that you feel comfortable at all times. What a godsend. Thank you Gowanus dental for such an awesome experience ,and thank you to the team and especially Lauren for being so attentive . 5 stars is not enough to encompass your greatness !!!!!!!!"
