Pediatric Dentistry Of Brooklyn Pllc

“When can we go back to the dentist?” That’s what my five-year-old asked me this morning on our walk to school, the day after her first checkup with Dr. Tendler and Ms. Joey. It put a smile on my face. We switched offices after a move. Dr. Tendler took ten minutes at the start of the appointment to sit with me and my daughter and talk about why we brush our teeth and good habits to build. He earned some trust with my shy girl. She was delighted that she could watch Netflix while Ms. Joey tended to her teeth. As she followed directions, Ms. Joey used lots of positive reinforcement. Of course, the best part was slotting coins into the prize machines. The office manager, Ms. Lisa, even performed a coin trick. Pure delight! We can’t wait to go back.

There's a reason the place only gets 5 star reviews! We came to this practice 2.5 years ago as we weren't happy at the time with our exisiting provider. We had a few cavities that needed attention and I really welcomed the non-judgemental approach and feeling like were part of the decision making and feeling listened to. My 8 year old son is getting such a positive experience of visiting Dr Marlena because ALL the staff are so amazing and thoughtful and patient. The office manager, Ms Lisa, always remembers us and always pops her head around to say hello. I only wish they could be my dentist!
