Matthew Lieberman, DMD

I found Dr. Lieberman a few years ago on Unilocal.At the time I had no dental insurance and had had a bad experience at NYU Dental Clinic. I have hereditary problems with my teeth and I needed someone who was good and I could trust. So I decided to research who was the best dentist in my area. He was the best reviewed dentist in Brooklyn and some people mentioned his office was very knowledgable about dental insurance in addition to being kind and efficient. I went in for an exam, and was immediately won over by how personable and professional he and his wife were. He ended up referring me to a specialist for the procedure I needed done, but I decided to make him my regular dentist and have not regretted it. His cleanings are a joy, he is quick and gentle, and Sunday appointments are the best. Also very knowledgable and fair regarding pricing and insurance. My wife has started going to Dr. Lieberman and she loves him too! Highly recommended.

I’ve been going to Dr. Lieberman for 8 or 9 years now and I’ve recommended him to all my friends and family. He’s a great dentist, very thorough, and he makes a real connection with his patients. He has accommodating office hours (even on sunday!) and is always on time. Before I found Dr. Lieberman I dreaded going tot he dentist but now I actually look forward to it.

My wife and I have been going to Dr. Lieberman for years. Not only is he very flexible with his time, mornings/​weekends etc, but he is a very gentle/​compassionate man. I will be going to Dr. Lieberman for years to come and I always refer my friends in Park Slope to him.

Moved back to Brooklyn and needed to find new dentist, doctor etc. Chose Dr. Lieberman based on the Unilocal reviews for my first appointment: a cleaning and a filling repair. It’s a bonus that he takes Sunday appointments. The office is small, on the main floor of a Park Slope brownstone. It’s true, the office is not glass and steel office modern. But the equipment and his services should be the reason I choose the dentist, right?
I was shocked that he personally cleaned my teeth and took my x-​rays. Usually that’s what a dental hygienist does and then you see the dentist for 5 minutes after your cleaning as she/​he looks over your teeth and x-​rays. He is very very chatty and gregarious. I also liked that he was completely up front with me about costs for my procedures, what it would cost me out of pocket whether or not my insurance picked up the tab for a repair of a broken, recently done filling.
He is friendly, his service was very good and prompt, the hours are convenient and the location is great for me.

Just went to see Dr. Lieberman for the first time, and I have found my new dentist. Everyone was so, so nice, and the cleaning by Kathy was the most gentle cleaning I have ever had. I have no dental insurance, and was terrified that it would be awful (and expensive), since I have not been to see a dentist in many years. But the kindness and thoroughness of the staff (and a Sunday appointment, no less!) have convinced me that I should have had nothing to fear. Plus, zero waiting time and a beautiful, clean, modern office inside a historic brownstone. And the kicker is that it was not nearly as expensive as I thought it would be, and they told me all about the costs up front, on the phone, before I ever set foot in the door. Three cheers! Five stars! Best dental experience ever.

My husband and 2 boys have been going to Dr. Lieberman for over four years. I can’t say enough good things about him! He is such a lovely man and talented dentist! My family and I feel so lucky to have found him and to be able to rely on his care!
This week, my 16 year old began to complain about a tooth ache. He asked my husband and me to call Dr. Lieberman for him! We called the office, and Meryl, Dr. Lieberman’s lovely wife who manages the office treated the situation very personally and seriously, getting our son an appointment that very next Sunday. She took great pains to fit us in on a very busy day for them! We knew that she went the extra mile, because she truly cares about our son and his well being and we appreciate it!
We have searched years for good doctors with little satisfaction and are very fortunate to have finally found such a uniquely caring, exceptionally skilled dentist that we can trust for as long as he practices!
I happen to be a very nervous patient when it comes to dental work, as I have actually experienced rather horrific dental situations and results! After visiting Dr. Lieberman for the last four years, I no longer fear the chair!!! A major break through! I never thought it possible in fact!
Dr. Lieberman takes a special interest in my boys as he does with all the families and individuals that come to his office! He is a very caring man and a wonderful, highly skilled dentist! He’s very gregarious and makes everyone feel at home and as if you’ve known him for 20 years. He will never let you sit waiting! A unique doctors office experience in a beautiful setting! Who knew dentist appointments could be fun?

Pros:
Really nice guy, extremely talkative, clearly enjoys his job.
Responsive to telephone messages.
Does his own cleanings.
Cons:
The office is in an old brownstone that has never been renovated (i.e., not exactly a sterile environment).
The equipment (chairs, x-​ray machines, water pumps, etc.) look to be legitimately 40 years old. Would be great for shooting a dentist movie scene set in the ‘70s, but not so great for generating patient trust.
The crown I had done to cap a root canal (he sends people to an outside specialist for root canals) was subpar in color, shape and position. The crown on the same tooth on the opposite side (done by a different dentist 3 years earlier) looks/​feels much better.
The cost was high, even by NYC standards.
Bottom line: I moved on, in search of a dentist who is more committed to modern technology and to precision work. I feel bad writing this, as Dr. Lieberman is such a friendly guy. But just not what I am looking for in a dentist.

Every review i’ve read is accurate. He is a genuinely nice person and a great dentist. I’ve never had to wait and I can go on Sunday.

Absolutely fantastic dentist!
He actually gets angry if you wait too long in the waiting room which is why most magazines in the waiting room are left untouched by time.
Also, he is extremely knowledgeable not only about teeth, but about insurance policies.
But most of all, he has a great sense of humor and doesn’t take himself or others too seriously!

Never had a good dentist. Now I have a Great Dentist!
From helping me understand the crazy insurance rules to recommending the best specialist; Dr Barker, young but great, he saved my tooth from a painful and expensive Root Canal.
Dr. Lieberman’s practice is more than what my fellow reviewers have said.
If you need a dentist do not walk run and get an appointment. Be vocal, talk and ask questions; he actually answers questions.

I agree with the other reviews here — Dr. Lieberman is punctual, does cleanings himself rather than supervising an army of dental hygienists, doesn’t push costly interventions, and is knowledgeable. He doesn’t treat children, only teenagers and up. But he was willing to treat my 10 year old because she’s not difficult, and she doesn’t have dental issues that would require a pediatric dentist.

I recently moved to Brooklyn and needed to find all new doctors. I read the Unilocal reviews for Dr. Lieberman and made an appointment. He is super nice. I haven’t had dental insurance for about a year so I haven’t been to a dentist in that time. I did my best to keep my teeth very healthy but they were certainly in need of a cleaning. I prepared for a typical dentist lecture but Dr. Lieberman was completely understanding and continued to be friendly and nice. The cleaning was quick and easy and I left with a bag full of dental goodies! His wife is his receptionist and she was also very nice both on the phone and in person.

I went off the Unilocal reviews and saw that he accepted my insurance so I made an appointment. I confirm everything else said here: Dr. Lieberman was very nice, thorough and knowledgeable. I’ll be going back for sure.

I LOVE THIS CRAZY MAN!!!
I have never been to a dentist before that has me CRACKING UP laughing as he puts BIG ASS needles in my mouth and then busts out a drill and yanks and hammers and saws away! He is professional, sweet and funny, highly skilled and extremely reasonable with fees and prompt with his incredible service. He filled a cavity of mine some time ago and warned me that the one that is throbbing right now would have to be next and of course I put it off til about ten minutes ago when I called for an appointment and got one for tomorrow, which compelled me to come over here and let everyone else know that if you need to see one, he is your guy.
The office is clean and lovely and the staff is SO friendly. His wife is such a gorgeous and sweet woman, I just love this place and people and I, too, hate going to the dentist!
My tooth hurts so bad but now that I know that he is going to fix it for me I can at least smile with the other side of my mouth! I will also switch to yogurt for dessert at night instead of two BIG ASS bowls of Frosted Flakes. I’ve figured out what the result of that is as I wrote this review. :-)

Just went to first visit with Dr. Lieberman, after finding him through Met Life insurance directory and reading positive reviews on Unilocal.Whole experience was simple, efficient, and pleasant, from making the appointment to the end of the visit. I was just in for a cleaning, so I can’t speak to anything else, but I loved that Dr. Lieberman actually does the cleaning himself, instead of just coming in for one minute after the cleaning is done to glance at your xrays and poke around your mouth like most dentists. He did a great job cleaning my teeth, not at all painful or uncomfortable. He did not try to convince me that I have cavities or needed any other expensive dental work — not at all pushy, but had thoughtful advice about using a different toothbrush, gum health, etc. I also love that the office is personal, small, and old-​school, in the parlor level of a brownstone.

So bummed that my insurance changed so I can’t go to Dr. Lieberman anymore. Never have to wait for appointments or when you get there, Dr. Lieberman does the whole cleaning and examination and is very accurate and nice, as is his wife, the receptionist. Could not recommend more. They also have Sunday hours.

BEST DENTIST EVAR!!!
Let me prefice this by saying that I HATE GOING TO THE DENTIST. HATE. I’d rather have my cooter excavated for hours at the OB/​GYN than go have my teeth drilled.
Dr. Lieberman is amazing. He can drill and fill a cavity in under half an hour, and he lets you listen to your Ipod during the whole process. His wife, who works as the receptionist/​biller is a sweetheart.
I don’t care that they don’t have the most ‘modern’ practice. This practice is mom and pop at it’s best.
I fell at work and wound up cracking my tooth, and he fixed it without charging me for a crown. I love the fact that he understands that I work for a non-​profit and can’t afford extensive dental work.
I cannot recommend Dr. Lieberman highly enough. Just don’t book all the Sunday appointments before me!!!

Dr. Lieberman is amazing! do yourself a favor and just go to see what I am talking about, you will not be disappointed.

Dr. Lieberman is AWESOME! I went to him from a recommendation from my friend who loves him too! Her whole family goes to him and he was professional, knowledgeable, efficient and personable too!
Even though I live a good 40 minutes away, I still travel to go see him. Today, my tooth hurt and he quickly fit me in as an emergency and the problem was immediately solved.
He is very sympathetic and I feel that he listens to my needs. Like the other reviews, I feel that he explains things carefully and tells me what my options are. And I never feel any pressure!!!
You are fabulous Dr. Lieberman and I will recommend you to everyone. Thank you for a fantastic service today and I am very grateful!

Dr. Lieberman is awesome! He is careful but efficient, he has Sunday appointments available (!), he has a great personality, and he takes the time to explain what he is doing, what recommendations he has, what your options are, etc.
Even though I’ve moved away from the neighborhood, I still I travel all the way from the UWS to Brooklyn to see him. And he gives out a pretty wicked dental goodie bag to top it off!
