At the helm of 54th Street Dental are exceptional providers, including Dr. Meriem Boukadoum, DDS, and Dr. Catherine Muldoon, MD.

Who would ever say that a dentist is a pleasure and that those in the office are welcoming, friendly and helpful. I am stating this for all. And I am a sane, rational person, at least most of the time. But as they say, it’s progress not perfection.

Dr. Boukadoum is an absolutely fantastic dentist. I had a string of poor dentists and Dr. Bouk's helped get me back on track. Just a fantastic dentist, incredibly thoughtful, and always looking out for what is best for the patient. Highly recommend if you are looking for a dentist in NYC and particularly in mid-town.
