I had a traumatic experience with a dentist many years ago and have since been terrified of going to the dentist. I only went when it was an emergency situation and then only to dentists who administered anesthesia. I can count on one hand how many times in over 40 years that I sat in a dentist’s chair.

I recently had a problem with a tooth that needed to be extracted. I searched for a dentist who specialized in sedation dentistry and found Dr Maniscalco.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Maniscalco and his very pleasant and professional staff. From my first conversations on the phone, I was put at ease and was scheduled for a consultation a few days later. Upon arrival to his pristine office suite, I was met by a warm and welcoming staff and soothing atmosphere.

He has a very busy practice and was fully booked for longer than I could wait. I was in considerable pain and Liz, who assists Dr Maniscalco, kindly offered me her own appointment slot a few days later so I could have the work done as soon as possible.

I had the tooth extracted under conscious sedation. I had no recollection of being conscious except for a brief moment and the next thing I knew I was ready to go home.

After the extraction, Dr. Maniscalco personally called twice to check on me before my follow up visit, which was a week later, and promptly returned another call I made to him. He also gave me his private cell phone # so I could reach him directly.

The adjacent tooth was also suspicious. I had consulted with another dentist who wanted to pull both teeth and do additional extensive and expensive work. Dr. Maniscalco took a more conservative approach to wait and watch before deciding if the second tooth could be saved or needed to be extracted as well, something I hope we can avoid.

My next visit is scheduled for a cleaning which I expect to get through without any nitrous oxide or IV sedation. I hope, with the Doctor’s and his staff’s help and compassion, to overcome my fear and make regular visits in the future.

Funny, I was telling a colleague the other day about my childhood memories of dental visits when growing up in New Jersey. My parents took us to what one might call a not-so-kid-friendly dentist who gave no Novocain except for extractions!

Very pleased with front desk staff, dental hygienist (Kristen) and Dr. Maniscalco. I came in for a cleaning on a Saturday at Noon. The front desk staff had reconfirmed the appointment 3 times prior to Saturday afternoon. I was greeted warmly and Kristen took me to exam room right away. She did cleaning but more importantly took the time to discuss/answer my questions regarding toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthwash. I felt extremely comfortable asking her any questions. She is an excellent communicator. The doctor came in to check me and advise I have a loose crown on my implant that should be addressed soon. I was in the office for about 1 hour and left with my follow up appointment already scheduled for a Saturday in early October. Again, I am extremely pleased with medical and administrative team in this practice. Please keep up the good work.

We all had ‘soft teeth’, very tightly packed in our little mouths — so a lot of cavities — and the pain level was indescribable — coupled with the mind-numbing jackhammer of a drill. I would have to go for four or five visits — and then six months later, it started all over again. I seem to remember feigning a lot of stomachaches in those days.

Dr. Maniscalco is the best dentist you will find in NYC. He is thorough, honest and does great work. He is willing to listen to all your concerns. A true professional. His staff is also superior. Neither he nor his staff will keep you waiting for long. His practice is superb in all regards. Highly recommended.

Dr.Joe is one of the best, the all staff is weary friendly and the office is spotless
