Louis Siegelman, DDS

Great dentist and wonderful associates.
The all take there time and work with you.
They share of themselves and in doing so make the client feel special and safe.
Wish I had found this Practice earlier in my life. Thank you.

To be perfectly honest, I never thought I would be able to write such a positive review about going to the dentist. I have an inexplicable fear of dentists so found Dr Siegelman’s practice while researching dentists who specialize in dental phobia and nervous patients.
My experience at this practice has been positive from start to finish. My initial consult was great — a non invasive examination of my teeth where Dr Siegelman carefully checked what was going on and one of his very sweet dental nurses carefully took a full set of x-​rays being really careful not to hurt me or cause discomfort.
I was fortunate enough to be fitted in for an appointment the next day to remove a wisdom tooth that was causing issues, get a deep clean and sort out a couple of cavities. I arrived for the procedure and was greeted in such a warm and caring way by all the staff there I felt immediately calm and in great hands. I was made comfortable in a very cozy room, covered with a warm blanket so I was comfortable and the nurses chatted with me so I didn’t climb the walls :) Eventually I was given an IV and put to sleep via anesthetic. When I woke I felt zero pain and all the work had been done. They even let me sleep a couple of extra hours while helping me drink a cup of coffee, some water and offering me ice cream.
I should also add my friend picking me up told me after we left that he wouldn’t hesitate to go to Dr Siegelman as his primary dentist — and that was just after him hanging out in the lobby and talking to the staff for a couple of hours — I think this really says a lot! He was impressed.
So I’ve found my new dentist — today I am home with no swelling at all, feeling like my dental health is on its way back to where it should be and happy to have found a dentist whom I trust and feel super comfortable with. I even feel zero anxiety about going for a follow up appointment.
I can’t say enough positive things about Dr Siegelman and everyone at his practice. Even if I move to another state, this is a practice I would take a flight to come back to!
I cannot thank them enough!

I went to Dr. Siegelman at the recommendation of a friend.
I was greeted warmly by his staff. His hygienist, Melissa is very skilled and gentle. After my cleaning, I also consulted with Dr Siegelman about a troublesome tooth that other dentists had (i) recommended I get a root canal on given the minimal root structure or (ii) proactively consider an implant before the tooth breaks (the tooth has damage from a former wisdom tooth extraction). Dr. S approach the situation with fresh approach, recommending a minimally invasive intervention… music to my ears!
The doctor and his team are personable, warm, and really seem to put the comfort of patients first.
Dr. S and his team did an A+ job! Looks like I have a new dentist! Highly recommended.

I’ve been going to Dr. Siegelman’s office since 2004 and every moment there has been wonderful. Dr. Siegelman’s skills and bedside manner are perfect, and Dental Hygienist Melissa is both a true professional and a gentle, empathetic wonderful person as well.

Dr. Siegelman is kind, attentive, and made our family feel right at home.
My mom and I visited Dr. Siegelman’s office looking for a special kind of dentist to provide dental care for my younger brother. He is 16 years old and is an individual with autism. He is also primarily non-​verbal and has difficulty adapting to new and unfamiliar settings. Naturally, we were nervous about how his needs would be communicated and addressed.
Dr. Siegelman and his staff were warm, patient, and treated us like family. Dr. Siegelman answered all of our questions and discused every imminent detail in a way that was clear and consice. His team (including the receptionists, and dental assistants) were very personable and easy to talk to. The entire team helped to calm our fears and made us feel right at ease.
Most importantly, they treated my little brother with the utmost respect. They addressed him directly, smiled and laughed with him, and even encouraged us to bring his favorite items (including dvd’s and a stuffed animal) to help him feel relaxed and comfortable in an unfamiliar setting. Not only did his teeth come out looking phenomenal, but Dr. Seigelman set us up with a managable dental regimine that we can continue at home with him and supplied us with all the necessary materials.
I couldn’t have asked for a better overall experience and we would definitely recommend this dentist to anyone!

I was very hesitant to write this review, because Dr. Siegelman and his staff do seem very caring. The hygenist, Lindsey (SP?), is especailly sweet and skilled at her job and this review is by no means a negative judgement on her.
I just think that my fellow dental-​phobs should be made aware as to what they’re up against.
What is great about this practice is that Dr. Siegelman calls you personally before the consultation. He makes good conversation and really tries to get to know you as a patient: the source of your dental fear, your dental history, what work you’d like done, etc. As I said before, the staff is friendly and professional. The office is modern and comfortable.
What worries me is that after my consultation at this office, I got a second opinion and found that I was being grossly overcharged and that my problems could be fixed much more easily than Dr. Siegelman had anticipated.
I have a tooth that is causing me a lot of pain, and Dr. Siegelman told me that it would probably have to be extracted since there’s not enough tooth left for a successful root canal. When my new dentist (who is just as caring and professional and who has more positiive reviews) heard that diagnosis, he was shocked. «There’s absolutely no reason why you would have to lose that tooth,» he said. Apparently, a root canal on this tooth will be very easy for a skilled dentist to perform. What a relief, especially since Dr. Siegelman had told me that my extraction would «mess up» my smile for 6 months since I would be walking around with no tooth there until healed.
My new dentist also gave me antibiotics for my tooth, and it doesn’t hurt at all anymore! He said it was «mean» that I hadn’t been perscribed antibiotics before.
I had also lost an old crown from a previous root canal, and Dr. Siegelman told me that the now exposed tooth would eventually have to be extracted as well. My new dentist’s diagnosis: wrong again! That tooth can also definitely be saved.
Siegelman’s office also told me that my procedure (either a root canal or extraction) would be over $ 4,000! If I wanted sedation, it would cost an additional $ 1,700. The quote caught my attention, because I’ve had a root canal done at another NY office that also didn’t take insurance, and they charged me $ 2,000. I panicked a little, and Dr. Siegelman came out and told me that he would drop the $ 367 charge for oral sedatives. I don’t know why, but at this point I began to feel very uneasy. I felt like I was being offered false bargains. The receptionist told me that no matter where else I go, the price will be about the same. Wrong. When I told my new dentist the price, he was absolutely shocked. He was also very open to the idea of me getting services done somewhere else (I won’t though. I’m very happy with him) and didn’t try to coerce me to stay with him.
I’ve received the quote from my new dentist for my root canal, and it’s under $ 2,000. Less than half the cost of Siegleman’s quote. So now, I get just as caring a dentist for a fraction of the cost, and I get to save my tooth! I don’t know why I was told that my tooth probably needed to go. Is it because this office isn’t skilled at root canals, and they’re covering their bases? Just a little something to think about.
So moral is, go here if you’re TERRIFIED of the dentist and need to be knocked out (although my new dentist said that sedation should be about $ 400-​$ 600, not $ 1700) but otherwise, save your teeth and your money! You can have an even more pleasent experience elsewhere.
P. S.: When I was in Siegelman’s office, I believe I heard him behind the wall listing all these teeth that needed to be extracted from another patient: «16, 17, 18,…19.» Yikes! I hope she got a second opinion too!
P.P.S: I hope that I don’t get in trouble for writing this review, and I hope my new and wonderful dentist doesn’t either. I just get an eerie feeling from this place, so if something happens to me within the next few days, you know where to look!

Great guy! Great team! I am very afraid of the dentist and had to go for an appointment last minute, I was all nerves. We found them on the internet and made an appointment, The doctor was great, he even offered his after hours number if I wanted to call him if I had any fears! I came in and all went sooo smoothly. I have another appointment coming up and I am actually looking forward to it… geez! I recommend this office completely if you have any fears of dentist and want smooth friendly professional care for you teeth!

I had experienced what can only be described as dental trauma as a kid with a lot of pain and suffering and as an adult a fear of scolding and judgment by my previous dentists because of the condition of my teeth.
So I cold called Dr Siegelman’s office one day after checking out their website. I had heard his Ad on the radio and he sounded like someone who understood and was willing to help people with fear of dentists and dental treatment. I made an appointment for a consultation for the following week. Within the hour I had a voice-​mail from the Dr himself assuring me that everything was going to be ok even though I hadn’t met him yet!
The consultation went well. No judgment. All positive and encouraging. The atmosphere is really relaxed. Everyone there is helpful from the minute you walk in the door. Xrays were taken with a lot of care and sensitivity. A plan was developed with the Dr for treatment. Kelly at the front desk outlined the financial details clearly and submitted the appropriate forms for insurance etc. and a date was scheduled for treatment.
The procedure (Root canal) was painless. The Dr explains what happening at all times. There will be noises and sensations that you will feel but not pain. The other assistants there are always checking with you too to make sure you are comfortable. I left there really happy with the experience. The next day I received a follow up call to ensure all went well and that I wasn’t feeling any pain. So if you were like me and was worried or apprehensive about treatment or the condition of your teeth this is the place you need to go to.
The treatment, the staff and the service is all top class
