About
Gramercy Pediatric Dentistry is a specialized pediatric dental practice located in Downtown Manhattan at 195 3rd Ave (at 17th St), New York, NY 10003. Founded and led by Dr. Jeremy Dixon, the practice represents a commitment to providing exceptional, compassionate dental care specifically designed for children of all ages, including those with special needs.
Dr. Jeremy Dixon, the founder and lead pediatric dentist, brings extensive experience and credentials to the practice. He received his D.D.S. (Doctor of Dental Surgery) degree from SUNY Buffalo School of Dental Medicine in 2000, graduating Cum Laude and being elected class president by his peers. His distinguished career includes serving for 12 years as the Director of Dentistry at St. Mary's Children's Hospital, demonstrating his deep expertise in pediatric dental care and hospital-based procedures. Currently, Dr. Dixon serves as a Clinical Instructor of Surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College and holds admitting privileges at New York Presbyterian Hospital. He is also a member of the Craniofacial Team at Weill Cornell, which is dedicated to the multidisciplinary treatment of patients with craniofacial disorders.
The practice has established itself as a leader in pediatric dentistry in the Manhattan area. Dr. Dixon's original Gramercy Park office has been successfully serving patients for over 10 years, building a strong reputation for high-quality care and compassionate treatment. The success of the Manhattan location led to the expansion into Brooklyn, with a second location opening in the Boerum neighborhood to better serve the growing patient population coming from Brooklyn and surrounding areas.
Gramercy Pediatric Dentistry operates as a comprehensive, one-stop shop for pediatric dental care. The practice is trained and equipped to handle hospital-based dental and orthodontic procedures, regardless of complexity or patient behavioral issues. This capability sets the practice apart, as it can address even the most challenging cases within a single, child-friendly environment. The team consists of multiple pediatric dentists and specialists, including Drs. Dixon, Paires, Coupet, and Weingarten as pediatric dentists, along with Dr. Grazina, an exceptional orthodontist. Dr. Lori Paires, a key team member, completed her pediatric dental residency and served as Chief Resident at Cohen Children's Medical Center of NY/Long Island Jewish Medical Center, bringing extensive experience in all aspects of pediatric dental care, including care for infants and patients with special needs.
The practice's philosophy centers on creating a stress-free, welcoming environment for young patients. The modern, 1,400 square-foot Manhattan clinic features thoughtful design elements specifically intended to put patients at ease and enable staff to work more effectively. Dr. Dixon intentionally designed the space using a neutral color palette for dental chairs, cabinetry, and equipment, complemented by pops of color throughout. The design incorporates curves, glass partitions, and whitewashed exposed brick to create a bright atmosphere that captures children's attention and provides the perfect amount of distraction to keep patients relaxed and focused. This attention to environmental design reflects the practice's understanding that the physical space plays a crucial role in reducing dental anxiety in young patients.
Gramercy Pediatric Dentistry's commitment to excellence extends to its use of state-of-the-art equipment and technology. The practice is experienced in handling modern dental equipment for X-rays, exam rooms, and patient waiting areas, ensuring that patients receive the latest and best dental treatments available. The practice's partnership with Henry Schein, a leading dental supplier, has been instrumental in achieving this technological excellence, with the relationship beginning 10 years ago with the original Manhattan clinic.
The practice's patient base extends well beyond the immediate neighborhood, with patients coming from around the block as well as surrounding counties to experience the warm, personal care provided. This geographic reach demonstrates the reputation and trust the practice has built within the broader New York area. The practice's goal is to set each child on the right track for excellent oral health, recognizing that pediatric dental care is foundational to lifelong oral health and overall well-being.
