Dorn Mark Dr

Dr Dorn was a wonderful dentist and did a good cleaning and inspection of my teeth, and helped me sort out my teeth grinding.
HOWEVER, the office seemed very dirty! The X-​ray guards were just thrown in a jar of sanitizer like at a hair salon.

Dr Dorn has been my dentist for at least a dozen years and I have always thought I hit the jackpot in finding him. He and his staff are very thorough and professional. I have also been treated by his associate Dr Fernandez who is wonderful (she fixed a tooth I chipped and it looks great) and his hygienist Ms Gonzalez who has a gentle touch and yet is a perfectionist (which matters when we are talking about my teeth!). Dr Dorn himself is very personable and thorough, doesn’t try to upsell the way my last dentist did, and is a cool guy to boot. Because if you have to go to the Dentist it’s best to have one with a good personality! His office runs smoothly from making appointments to submitting claims to instance (and I count my lucky stars he accepts mine!). I have sent many friends and coworkers to him and everyone thanks me for the referral. Thanks, Dr Dorn!

Absolute waste of time. Office admin didn’t verify insurance before hand and bumped my appointment. Extremely disappointing.

My experience here wasn’t «bad» necessarily… but it was really weird! As a side note this is the first dentist I’ve seen in NYC as previously I only used my family dentist in NJ, who is excellent, but rather inconvenient for me now.
It took three months to schedule a basic cleaning/​check-​up. The cleaning was fine… a bit more painful than I remembered them being previously but my teeth felt really clean at least.
TWO WEIRD THINGS:
1. The room I was in had a TON of religious decorations on the wall directly in front of the patient chair that I was forced to stare at the whole time (wish I had taken a picture!). Not just one thing… like several shelves of religious pictures/​quotes, bride and groom stuffed animals, etc. etc. Creepy/​unusual for a dentist, no?
2. The dentist (not Dr. Dorn… was someone else but I can’t remember his name, probably because he was in the room for about 30 seconds) looked at my x-​rays and mouth very quickly, said a few oddball things (like «oh, I see you haven’t had much dental work done» and «I think you grind your teeth»), and was out the door before I could even say anything or ask any questions.
The whole office was shut down and deserted by 4:45pm on a weekday… not a single employee in sight as I walked out the door.
The search for a decent NYC dentist continues…

Dr. Dorn has been my dentist for almost 10 years now. He is a real doctor and what I mean by that is – he is in his late 50s and all of his school loans, mortgages, his kids’ student loans are fully paid, so he is NOT a businessman that is going to BS you into something you don’t need. He’s a doctor and a pro. He also takes Dental Save plan (poor people insurance) and I respect that.

I was seen by another dentist at this office. I was satisfied with the service, but I was billed for a number of services that were not rendered. This is a headache I would have preferred avoiding.
