Hands down the finest dental office in New York City! Dr. Graffeo and his team exhibit a genuine concern and caring for their patients and combine old fashioned service and quality with modern dentistry. Cannot say enough about their operation.

Dr. Graffeo is truly one the most honest, hard working dentists I have ever been to (and I have been to a lot of dentists lol). He does great work and genuinely cares about his patients. What I appreciate most is he is thoughtful and mindful in his approach to what needs to be fixed. He also really listens to his patients and takes the time to answer questions (which I have many of). I can’t recommend his practice enough and am grateful I finally found an amazing dentist in new york!

Dr. Graffeo is wonderful. He was recommended by a friend and I went to see him for a tooth filling and a cleaning. He's very kind, patient and professional. He is good at explaining exactly what he will be doing and how much it will hurt (physically and financially!) For the first time since I moved to NYC, I didn't feel like I was in an ''As Seen on TV'' commercial while at a dentist office. He's not trying to sell products or treatments that are unnecessary, which has been my experience at other dental practices in the city. It's soothing to have found a doctor I can trust.

I started with Dr. Graffeo last year after my dentist of 30 years retired. Dr. Graffeo did a complete review of the health of my teeth and gums, suggested a plan to address my dental issues and discussed costs and timing. After 6 months I found him to be a caring, thoughtful and highly skilled physician who was very communicative and always accessible. His team is also very supportive. Highly recommend.

Dr. Graffeo is a great dentist. He has been my parents dentist for many years - 25 to be exact! I have more recently started going to Dr. Graffeo. He and his team have an unmatched attention to detail. Each time I am there, they give me new recommendations on how to floss better and tricks to avoid plaque buildup. I only have good things to say about Dr. Graffeo and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist.
