Masha Mirkin, DMD

Dr. Mirkin is careful, attentive, and explains everything which is always appreciated. I’ve gone to her office for regular checkups and a few treatments and have always received great care. She tries to make procedures as painless as possible, and even manages to make the visit to the dentist comfortable. Glad to have Dr. Mirkin around in PB :)

I went here for almost 2 years & had 3 cavities filled. Any time I mentioned a problem (pain in my jaw etc) she recommended painkillers, never trying to solve the problem. On my third visit she said I had 3 new cavities that needed to be filled. How was that possible after only 6 months? I went to another dentist for a second opinion & had no cavities. In fact today, 6 years later I haven’t had any, which means she was literally making up cavities to fill that did not exist. My experience with this office was not good. Go here at your own risk, or at least seek a second opinion.

I just moved into the PB neighborhood and needed to find a local dentist. A Groupon discount helped me make the choice. My former dentist was overstaffed, expensive and addressed my dental issues as if they were psychological problems.
I soon found out that Dr. Mirkin is a no nonsense dentist who does a thorough job of diagnosis, is passionate about her work and who isn’t afraid to call it as it should be.
«Preserve what you have,» she said as we discussed my 72 year old set of teeth with several root canals and partially decaying crowns. «Your teeth aren’t bad but you have thirty years left in you and you have to take care of them. You grind them at night, you need a night guard and we will address the sensitivity in those lower teeth as it increases.»
She did the cleaning herself – and it was deep, even though the coupon only required a standard cleaning.
Dr. Mirkin received her doctorate in Moscow, immigrated to the US in the 90s, became a dental assistant as she trained to get her license in the US and began her current practice in PB in 1998.
Only one visit, but I highly recommend her – and her staff of one (at least when I showed up for a 9:45 appt.)
And I’ll always remember «Preserve what you have” – in a deep Russian accent.

I went to see Dr. Mirkin for a simple cleaning and x-​ray. I was told by her that I had some sort of heredity gum disease and would eventually have to get almost all my teeth removed. Being 18-​years-​old and hearing this information was absolutely traumatizing. I made an second opinion appointment with another dentist to learn that not only was all of that complete BS but I had two cavities that Dr. Mirkin wasn’t even able to find. Avoid at all costs.

I found Dr Mirkin office not too long ago and im absolutley happy with my experience so far. She accepts my dental insurance and it was one of the first reasons I came to her. I was not happy with my previous dentist due to not accepting my insurance and being so expensive. However, Dr Mirkin, is very patient and nice. She explains the procedures to you so you have a better understanding.
Im a second language here and using professional terms is not my thing, however, she explains everything so well that I understood and I knew what she was doing.
She is very considerate of her patient. She will be gone for a while and even though she could make an appointment to see me before her vacation, she still didnt because she wanted to make sure im in good care and she can see me in case I am in pain.
Recommend her to EVERYONE. She is very sweet and smell fantastic.

I went to Dr. Mirkin’s office for a check up and a follow up appointment so far. I’m very happy I found this place as they have proved to be a great dentist office. Dr. Mirkin is really nice and helpful, and Asia, the receptionist is very helpful as well. They were nice enough to work with my difficult schedule and even reschedule me a couple of times without much trouble.
They really seem to know what they are doing — I definitely recommend this place!
Thank you!
