George Spyropoulos, DDS

I have been going to. this dentist even before I went through my braces phase. When I walk out of this place my teeth feel super clean. I even had him remove my silver fillings and replace them with the white ones — sorry, I don’t recall the appropriate term, but I did it with no pain relievers. After that, and perhaps it’s the placebo affect or other factors, but my ability to concentrate and be able to sit down and read a book has exponentially gone up. We’ve talked about this before and he’s talked about some other researchers/​journals in his field that cited some sick folks did the same as a last resort in trying to figure out some health issues. Anyway, I don’t think I’ve ever had a cavity from this dentist though he once did a preventative filler (and I know I’m completely botching all the dental terminology here) before it actually became a cavity. All my fillings came from another dentist I use to go to on Steinway St. in my earlier years. I find it hard to trust new doctors and dentists anywhere — my sister went to a dentist in Hoboken and they drilled holes in her back teeth and told her she needed 3 or 4 root canals. She would have to have paid that out of pocket so she left the country to a location where she could get it done for a fraction of the price and when they looked into her mouth, they asked what the other dentist did. They told her that if she really needed that many root canals, she wouldn’t have been able to wait that long and would have been in pain. They ended up filling all the holes that Hoboken dentist drilled and sent her on her merry way. With all the money she saved she had a nice vacation while she was there. I know I stray off topic, but it’s hard to find a good dentist and since I found one, I’m sticking to him. They also send me text reminders for my appointments and let me always book my next appointment 6 months out before I leave. Afterwards, I walk up the street to a friendly Colombian bakery and get some Pan de Yuca (these days)… :)

I try to stay away from doctors in Astoria.
But he has been my dentist for many years and very satisfied with the the care provided. Finally a good doctor that’s not in manhattan!
