After several bad experiences at another dentist, I reluctantly made an an appointment at Pine Street Dental. I saw Dr Howe and his assistant Sissy. They were great. Sissy explain that Dr. Howe was patient kind and understanding, and is great at explaining procedures that might need to be done. Dr Howe was awesome!! He had an excellent bedside manner. He explained everything he was doing and why. He told me what to expect. I was in the office several times and each time it has been easier and easier. I don't usually write re... read more

I have been a patient at this practice for around 8 years. I recommend them highly. At this time I am being treated by Dr. Howe, he and his assistant, Sissy make a great team. They inspire my confidence, always take the time to answer my questions and make sure that I am comfortable. I have had quite a bit of work done, including a new partial. I am very satisfied with the treatment I have received.

I hate, no -- despise, going to the dentist; and only go when I absolutely must. So this review should carry a lot of weight. Dr. Howe and his right hand woman Sissy were incredible on so many levels. First, they are gentle. Second they really listened, carefully. Third, they spent a lot of time explaining what was happening to my teeth; and fourth, the most important, they gave me all the facts I need to make a decision about what to do next -- from least expensive to a complete overhaul. I felt dealt with honestly and r... read more

I love Dr. Yuen. He is cautious, does not do anything that doesn't need to be done, gentle, an excellent communicator and very clean.

My mom has gone here for 30+ years. Yesterday she tried to make an appt and was told NO,you haven't been here in two years so now you are considered a new patient and we are NOT taking new patients. Nice way to treat a loyal customer. maybe a new owner I don't know but this place is to be avoided at all costs.

The office manager treated me unkindly when I tried to respectfully explain my point of view concerning office policy some of the other employees are also sharp with patients when speaking to them

When I called to make an appointment as a new patient, they said there were no openings, except with a new doctor. The doctors information was not on the website yet, and when I asked for the doctor's background, they refused to answer. They told me to check back occasionally to see when the information was posted. The woman who answered the phone outright refused to call me back with some basic information such as date of graduation, school attended and specialty, etc. I refuse to make a new appointment with a doctor when w... read more

The records are poorly kept. They insisted I saw a female dentist whom referred me to an Albany prosthodontist, when a male dentist replaced the woman who left. He referred me. An implant was never crowned by them. Really?? No referral. I, subsequently, had seen three prosthodontists, including the last NYU (a true horror to get to in NYC traffic, but a fantastic expert). One destroyed crowns, the covid situation made it unacceptable to continue as the partner he worked with refused to see me when it was occurring. I neve... read more
