Atlantic Terminal Dental PC

The Worst…
Been there 4 times only have a super ruff cleaning by this woman dentist
done tones of x rays.
receptionist are rude and not polite.
Stay away from that place.

While it’s true that there was a long wait I don’t agree with all the negative reviews on here. They actually did a really good job cleaning my teeth. I hadn’t had a cleaning in a couple of years, because of loss of insurance. I will continue to use them as my regular dentist.

Excellent Experience on April 17, 2015!
Katie and Amber at the front desk were extremely polite and courteous to my daughter, the patient, and me. I should state that I flew into NYC to be with my daughter for knee surgery and then three days later had a root canal. It was my daughter’s first root canal and she was nervous. Katie and Amber were reassuring to her and so helpful to me. She was taken in a few minutes before her appointment time, the dentist came in and work began. I was allowed to go into the room a couple of times to see her. Katie and Amber’s sense of customer service was very good so I am not sure what the negative comments are about. My daughter has been here before and will continue going again as she has had nothing but pleasant experiences and no one was rude to her.

I agree there should be a zero star option for this dentist. The front desk staff will literally talk about you in front of you instead of addressing you directly and attempting to find out what you could possibly need from them (like, I dunno, to schedule a follow up).

I got a teeth cleaning and a xray.
I was really nervous at first b/​c of all the negative reviews on Unilocal but this place was actually kinda great. I hadn’t been in to a dentist in over 10 years and it reminded me of my regular suburban dentist growing up.
The doctor was super nice, professional, and courteous. The X-​ray took no time. The teeth cleaning was thorough and the dental hygienist was super nice; we talked about the weather. The equipment was all new and clean.
I got in at 11am, filled out some forms, and I was out of there by 11:40am. I waited for about 20 minutes which is normal in any doctors office.
Plus the dental hygienists are total babes.
This place is completely fine y’all. Stop hatin’ so hard.

Never come here. I was assigned this place as part of my dental insurance. I’m absolutely appalled at the service. I had an 11:30 AM appt, showed up 5 minutes early, filled out paperwork and waited an hour to get X-​rays and then another 15 minutes to see the dentist for less than 5 minutes and was told that I would have to schedule to come back to get a cleaning– definitely will not be back here.

Unilocal, you need a ‘zero stars’ option.
I’m so appalled at the service I got in this place I could spit. Without going into too much detail (which will only raise my blood pressure), I’ll give you a summary: Called for an emergency visit, was told to come in the following day. Waited for about an hour, which I was okay with since it was an emergency visit. However, when I told the dentist, some oddly accented older dude who’d be well cast in a vampire flick, that I needed a veneer replaced, he said: «We don’t do that here». This is after I TOLD the receptionist while making he appointment that that is what I needed! Why else would I come in???
The dentist never even looked in my mouth. No xrays were taken, nothing. The whole ‘visit’ lasted about 3 minutes. The extremely rude, attitudinal office manager then told me I owed $ 28 for the ‘consultation’! After telling her how ludicrous this was, she refunded me $ 14 and refused to discuss the matter further, closing the door in my face.
Well, I never! $ 14 won’t break me, but paying for receiving no service is unacceptable.
Believe the other 600 reviews of this place: Rude, unprofessional, waste of time. Go elsewhere.

These people lack basic customer service. waiting time is endless, especially in the morning. it is easy for them to cancel appointments even after you show up at the place. one time i was denied service by the doctor.
The appointments has to be 3 to 4 weeks in advance.

Dreadful! I brought my 9 year old here — I had already told them over the phone I was bringing in my child — they took her into the room, prepped her, and this big gruff guy with absolutely no bedside manner started to work on her, and then pulled out this huge needle to numb her! It was absolutely terrifying. I stopped him and asked him if there wasn’t any other way to handle this (I mean, baby teeth!!!) He said no, and something occurred to me — I asked if he had worked with children before, and he said NO and he WASN’T A PEDICATRIC DENTIST!!! SO WHAT THE HELL WAS HE DOING WORKING ON MY CHILD??? I told him we were leaving and we left IMMEDIATELY. That is the first time I have ever walked out on a doctor. I felt like we had just escaped from the Gulag!

This dentist use to be great when they first opened. I don’t know what happened. I called to see if I could get an emergency vist my tooth was killing me, the staff member that answered the phone first question was what kind of insurance do you have. I repeated the question. It’s yes or no she said I need to know what type of insurance your have first!!! I hung up haven’t been back since. By the way I have great insurance. They lost a customer.

The staff was not rude to me or any of the other patients present when I was there. No one was wearing pajamas & they all seemed pretty professional. With that said, this was the worst dental experience I have ever had. I went there for a cleaning, & a sensation that I was getting in my right wisdom tooth. The dentist looked at my x-​rays & then looked at my teeth & said I had a big cavity in my right upper wisdom tooth & it needed to be extracted. I should have left right then but I didn’t, big mistake. He just yanked & yanked on my tooth. It felt like he was damaging all of my teeth. If my tooth was that strong shouldn’t he have just put in a filling? I read that they are supposed to cut around it & not just yank it out like that, I was so upset when I left their office.
Does Brooklyn even have any good dentists? I have been searching for so long. I think I am going to have nightmares about this experience, it has made me want to avoid the dentist all together.

The worst experience of my life. The dentist here is a butcher. I have never walked out of dentist office crying and shaking till now. DO GO HERE EVER!

I had a basic appointment for x-​rays, a check-​up and cleaning, and I literally felt like I was in a SAW movie and the dentist was going to try and pull teeth HE thought I didnt need. He told me his name and looked at the x-​rays quickly and for some randome reason asked my age. He they proceeded to put my chair all the way back which made me feel like I kept sliding up. He did not feel my jaw or lymphnodes, or really check my tongue/​overbite or anything that my usual dentist checks. He literally took a drill and went to town saying he was going to make sure things werre clean. My teeth are very sensitive and I told him that, he told me to raise my hand if i felt any discomfort and the minute that tool touched my teeth my eyes started tearing up and my had was grabbing his hand telling him to stop because it was really painful.
The worst part was he did not stop when i asked him too. He kept going and when he actually noticed I was crying because of pain and trying to sit up, he told me to hold on and he went and got some sort of numbing spray which made my mouth feel like it was on fire and eventually went numb after he was done cleaning my teeth with a drill. I tasted blood all afternoon and could not eat anything. I am 26 years old and I ahve had 2 small minor fillings, I SHOULD NEVER HAVE WALKED OUT OF A DENTIST OFFICE CRYING AND BLEEDING AFTER A CLEANING.
He polished my teeth very sloppy and did not do a good job, he was suppose to polish every tooth individually and only did the fronts of my front teeth. Ridiculous.
ontop of all of this mess, I really dont think he was wearing gloves, the staff looks amess and unprofessional and they dont speak a lick of english to eachother and hardly ever to the patients. At teh end of my cleaning, he yelled to me with a ridiculous attitude «see ya in 6 months» and ran out of the room.
This message is for Dr. Edwards: You are a dumb ass mother fucker who needs to go back to school and learn how to properly take care of someones teeth. Excuse my french, but how can you just grab a drill or tool and go at someones mouth without explaiing your cleaning procedures and tell a new patient what you are doing? Fuck You.
DO NOT GO HERE, DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILDREN HERE, EVEN IF ITS WHERE YOUR INSURANCE PLAN ASSIGNED YOU!!!

This review is PURELY for Dr. Barton– NOT the dentist themselves which the reviews are all 100% right about.
I went to get invisalign from Dr Barton– he was funny, nice, professional, quick, I had zero issues with him and my teeth turned out wonderful.
The Dentist and staff however are incredibly rude, money grubbing and unprofessional. I went in for a check up, they told me they needed to do 2 root canals. I have now gone to 3 other dentists after them and each one told me that a root canal wasn’t needed and that the other place was trying to rip me off.
In sum: Barton is great but the dentist and place itself sucks

all the previous reviews are absolutely right. the front desk staff is rude and unprofessional and the doctor is not welcoming and rushed. don’t ever go to this office.

I went here last year and can’t believe I didn’t run, screaming from the place as soon as they sat me down. Their lack of English-​speaking staff led to me having 2 cavities filled without really knowing what they were doing or being given any explanation. The procedure was very painful, fillings shouldn’t be painful.
The doctor was rushed, was shockingly unprofessional, and did not wear gloves. They did such a bad job on the fillings that two months later I had to get a root canal on one of them because it had become infected.
The office is creepy and antiquated. The staff is incredibly rude and (they left me waiting for minutes at the front desk while three of them stood two feet away, gathered to look at something on facebook. they didn’t even bother to turn the monitor so patients could blatantly see that they were being ignored for socializing). DO NOT GO HERE.

The doctors ARE rude and do speak in another language. The front desk staff told me in a bored rude voice I can only make an appointment on certain days because of my insurance. My doctor answered a phone call during my exam. I sat in the exam room for ten minutes alone and he came back and asked what I was still doing there suspiciously. I told him he didn’t even tell me the results of my exam! Smh.
This place is a joke. Rude, culturally unaware, unprofessional, and unfriendly all around.
Fuck this place.

Horrible. Period.
