DONOT I REPEATDONOTGOTOTHISDENTIST!!! I went to him needing a root canal which he split into 5 parts, lets just say the past two years have been a nightmare. Everytime I would visit this man he would do unessecary drilling and keep finding another problm that would of course cost me so much money. It came to a point I was scared to visit him caus eh e had a great knack for a finding a new cavity or new root canal to perform. I wound up having 3 root canals in a years time. I know, i feel like idiot now especially after doing some research on him. Btw the 5 parts was spread out on the FIRST root canal basically so he could find othe rlittle problems in between. In came to apoint I was evicted from my apartment just to afford paying this man for dental work that wasnt needed. Ill agree the first root canal was needed, but not the next 17 cavities or 2 root canals. And btw i am in severe dental pain right now, probally caused by his bad work. And u know what id rather die from tooth pain than ever go back to this man. Google him and you will see he is a scam artist, not a doctor to be trusted P.s His hygenist is a sweetheart, poor girl, hope she finds a new office Btw heres another review from someone else I found Dr. Apfel tried to turn every CAVITY into a CROWN. He maxed out my dental insur 03/18/2005 Patient Review 1 Dr. Jeffrey Apfel — General Dentist Forest Hills NY.
