Eighth Avenue Dental Associates

Throw away all pre-​conceived notions about your experiences with the dentist! Dr. Mandarine, Fico, and the entire front office staff TRULY make this an enjoyable experience.
He approaches dental care as a true partnership, always making suggestions with compassion and thoughtfulness, versus judgement about imperfect dental habits. He is patient and encouraging, and fosters a lively and friendly environment throughout the office.
He recently restored some bonding on my front teeth, which had shown some wear after nearly 15 years. I was nervous about the work, as I wanted to be sure my smile didn’t change — I wanted to keep the natural look of it, even with slight imperfections. Dr. Mandarine’s work was just beautiful, from a technical perspective; but more than that, he was attentive to my requests around the work and supportive of my vision.
I don’t think you could find a better dental practice in the area. Recommended, without any reservations.

Makes going to the dentist an enjoyable experience! Professional, friendly, and patient! Thank You to Dr. Mandarine and his staff once again!

First and last time!!! Front desk was a male very short and rude, did not know english very wel, l he mislead me to believe that the office was part of Cinga ITS NOT AT ALL!!! I got a cleaning by the doctor it was ok I still felt a bit of plaque on my teeth, no toothbrush no toothpaste was given to me after my cleaning as my other Dentist did with his clients. Then I get a bill of more than what I pay for my insurance monthly. No comment on office!

I love Dr Mandarine. I’ve seen many dentists in NYC and he’s the only one I really like. I’ve been seeing him for years now. He’s gentle, competent, and does the cleaning himself. His assistant Fico is very nice too. They give you the remote control to the TV so you have some sense of «control» when one tends to not feel so on the dentist’s chair. When he did my crown, he took the time to make sure we choose a color that matched my other teeth. I had an extraction with him once and he was very good. The root canal specialist and oral surgeon (for wisdom tooth extraction and dental implant) he referred me to are all as nice and competent as he is. I’ve referred a few friends to him and they all like him too.

I am a new patient of Dr. Mandarine. I looked over these same reviews listed here on Unilocal and thought I would give him a shot. I was more than impressed. He made me feel so comfortable even though I hadn’t been to the dentist for years. His front desk office assistant Michelle is a doll. The staff is so incredibly friendly.

I absolutely adore this practice. Dr. Mandarine obviously loves what he does, and he does it well. The same can be said for his entire staff. They give truly excellent care, and really take the time to explain what they are doing and why they are doing it, whether it is dental work or dealing with insurance. Professional, friendly, caring; a class act, from the big picture to the smallest details.

I have gone to Dr Vincent J Mandarine at 8^th Ave and 25^th St in Manhattan since he first opened the practice (more then 10 yrs ago). He and all the staff there are top notch. It is a gay-​friendly practice, and is NOT in one of those huge multiple-​dentist operations. Dr Mandarine explains what he finds in user friendly terms and gives you options. He is also knowledgeable on other health related issues that may impact your dental health — and will give you information and suggestions to ensure your well being. I cannot say enough good things about 8^th Ave Dental and Dr. Mandarine!
