Livingston Dental Care, dr.Y. Kushnir DDS

"One of the worst dental practices. Long waiting time and very rushed visits. They are extremely unprofessional. They will rush through your visit cause all they care about is money and not dental health. I also suspect that this place is particularly shoddy because they don’t respect their mostly black clientele."

"I visited this dental office on December 29th 2023. I must say the receptionist is extremely dismissive. I’m not sure if it was the color of skin but the entire encounter made me feel uncomfortable. My first question was the type of insurance accepted at the office. She replied “ well we only accept commercial insurances like from you know employers. I’m said okay and explained to her I have that kind of insurance. Before I can finish she said we don’t accept that. She had no explanation for why. This woman barely answered my questions her face expression was like she was disgusted. I can only imagine the type of person the Dentist may be with this type of woman working as the face of the location. I asked her what type of insurance and she assumed I wasn’t insured under an employer because of how I look. Please black and brown people do not support. This woman— also told me they have too many patients so the doctor might not see me after I told her I have insurance through an employer. The whole encounter felt like she was trying to tell me without telling me directly they don’t service people like me PS. THE REVIEWS CONFIRMED MY INSURANCE IS ACCEPTED. My insurance has been active for over 20 years and I can actually be seen here. I’m disgusted and hurt by this business."

"The doctors themselves are rather nice and amicable. But the wait times are insane. 1-3hrs. My best advice is to always ask how many people are on front of you waiting. If went 4 or 5. That's easily 2hours to kill"

"This place is listed on the local 371 dentist. I made an appointment and told them I have my dental through local 371 they told me to come by. When I arrive they said they don't accept new patients with local 371 and that I was out of luck and couldn't be seen. What a waste of time. The place was packed as well."

"Dr. Kushnir is one of the best dentist in Brooklyn. She took good care of me for over 10 years. I referred many people from my job to go to her. When I retired I still went to her. She is very warm and caring to her patients as well as her Husband, She do excellent work. Her staff is very good they are also warm and friendly."
