Benjamin Godder, DDS

Professor at NYU, very experienced Dentist, and he takes care of each patient tooth like a faerie! The difference being that is you who put the coin… that’s why he doesn’t have wings:)
But I can leave with that!
Seriously an art person, very concern, precise with Technic erudition in his domain!
Ask him about «invisiline“to straight your teeth.
It comes with a great health benefit along with the beauty!
Chapeau Dr Goddert.

Dr. Godder and his staff are as courteous, friendly, and professional as can be. I’ve been going to him for years and have always felt well taken of, and I’ve never spent more than ten minutes in the waiting room — usually less than five. If you’re looking for a great dentist, Dr. Godder is the best!

I had a great experience with Dr. Godder, he was very flexible and responsive when I need immediate care and uses state of the art technology. The office receptionist (Natasha) was extremely professional and followed up with me several times to see how I am doing. Overall great practice! Sharon

Dr. Godder is the best dentist I’ve been to in NY. He has tons of experience, is also a professor at NYU and therefore on track with the latest techniques out there, and seems overall much more knowledgeable than younger dentists I’ve been to.
Natasha his assistant is very kind and flexible and will work with you on rescheduling appointments and also help you a lot with any insurance and payment issues. The whole staff is pleasant and I truly like them as people.
I did the silly mistake to move to another dentist recommended by a friend a few years ago, only to have to go back to Dr. Godder so he could fix the lousy job that other dentist did. He fixed the work done incorrectly very quickly and did a technically perfect job. I am really relieved and trust his technical skills and judgement. Not only that, Natasha helped me get the insurance to pay a second time for the work I had to redo.
Dr. Godder will be very honest about any work you need done — he does have a strong personality — but it’s clear he aims to correct anything that is impeding you to have perfectly healthy teeth. Strong technical skills and good judgement — that’s all I need in a dentist.
Lesson learned — i will stay put with Dr. Godder. He’s the best dentist in the city — highly recommended!

I’ve been seeing Gr. Godder and his affiliates for several years and have always been pleased with the level of detail and care they take with their patients. From dental surgery to cleanings, I find the attention and service to be excellent!

Dr. Godder is a fantastic dentist and Natasha and his staff are a pleasure to work with, very helpful. I have been going there for 9 years,

Dr. Godder is a phenomenal dentist. He comes with an extremely organized and polite staff that I genuinely like as people. He utilizes state of the art equipment and is on the top of his game when it comes to his technique. He is very empathetic and caring when it comes to his patents’ feeling any pain, and he makes sure that they are as comfortable as possible. The dental office is always clean and organized, and is located in a beautiful building in midtown Manhattan. When you sit down in his chair, you get to see a great view of Manhattan’s inner city from the 15^th floor, and the dental assistants are kind enough to put vaseline on your lips before treatment so you don’t leave with super chapped lips.
He is also currently teaching at NYU which I think is super cool. It is clear to see that he really cares about his patients’ well-​being, and isn’t just all about the money. He has made me feel extremely safe and protected when it comes to my oral health, and I plan on keeping Dr. Godder as my dentist for the rest of my life.

I’ve had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr Godders’ for the last 7 years. It is rare when on can say going to the dentist is a pleasurable experience. The staff of the Receptionist, Natasha, or Leyna the oral hygentist are top notch and always do their best to accomodate the patients of Dr Godders’.
Dr Godder has done 1^st rate work for me whether restoring an old filling to cosmetic work. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a 1^st rate dental practice.

I’ve been going to dr Godder for about 12 years and wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. He doesn’t believe in pain and the office runs on time and is friendly. What more could one ask for?

Been a patient for 4 years since moving to NYC. Highly recommended.

I have been a patient of Dr. Godder’s for 5 years. I have had several dental procedures and now have Invisalign, which is doing a fantastic job of correcting a multitude of problems. I am so happy that I am doing Invisalign with Dr. G because of the skill needed for a good outcome (and the patience needed to answer my many questions!).
The staff is also friendly and courteous. Natasha always finds room to squeeze me in at the last minute if needed and Lena makes my teeth sparkle!
I highly recommend Dr. G and his staff.

I have been seeing Dr Godder for a few years now. He and his staff are extremely friendly and very accommodating. You never have to wait too long to see him (unlike other doctors offices) and he is always nice and efficient. His staff is great: Natasha is wonderful and the hygienist Lena is lovely.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Godder’s for over fifteen years and I’ve been extremely satisfied. I like that he’s a professor of dentistry at NYU, since it seems to ensure that you’re receiving treatments that involve the very latest methods Over the years there have been a number of times when he’s mentioned that he’s doing something in a different way than in the past and it often involves reducing discomfort during treatment or greater durability, etc. There’s never a sense that you’re dealing with a dentist whose skills/​knowledge have ossified over the years. He’s also a stickler for keeping the office spotless and while I have a hunch he’s a very demanding employer, he seems to appreciate the abilities of his staff.
I’d like to specifically refer to two people who work with Dr. Godder. His dental hygienist, Lena, is terrific and I credit her for the vast improvement in my gum health. Also, his office manager, Natasha, is wonderful. Between my wife and myself we’ve seen enough poorly run medical offices to really appreciate the way in which she skillfully handles all the insurance issues and everything else. We’ve left good doctors who have poor staff due to the mountain of paperwork that gets thrown back at you due to their incompetence. With Natasha, it’s the complete opposite — she’s an additional reason to stick with Dr. Godder.

Going to the dentist is supposed to be a scary experience, but not with Dr. Godder. So far, I have had my teeth bleached, he did some great aesthetic work on my two front teeth – my smile now looks more symmetrical, he filled two cavities (the shot he uses vibrates in such a way that you don’t feel the actual needle, you feel the base of it so it distracts your nerves) and had a mouth guard for the grinding of my teeth at night.
His chair side manner is welcoming, and knowledgeable. I learned such things as the right way to brush (who knew that I was doing it wrong all these years).
The office is simply beautiful. As you’re in the chair, you look out into a great view of the city. He has classical music playing and a flat screen television to keep you occupied as he’s taking care of your pearly whites. His equipment is all digital so each time I visit, I see my previous X-​rays and pictures of my mouth. The before and after reminds you how far you have come under his work.
Thank God for Dr. Godder.

Been my family dentist since i can remember. He’s very capable and excellent. Previous commenter is sort of right — he does push orthodontics on his clients and he did this even before he offered invisalign.
I trust him with my teeth, even if he is a bit expensive.

Very uncomfortable and unpleasant experience.
Having moved to NY last fall from California, I needed to find a new dentist in the city.
I went for an overall dental check-​up. My first visit was okay — he told me my teeth were in very good shape (they were aligned, I had only one cavity, etc etc.) and that all I needed were two sealants and one filling.
On my following visit (which was a few weeks later), he put in the sealants and filling. He then tells me that I need braces. I’m 25 and no dentist I have ever been to up to this point in my life has told me that I need braces. It was almost laughable. I have extremely straight teeth.
He told me that «Invisalign» was the adult version of braces and that he strongly believed that I needed it.
It felt like I was at one of those salons where they try to push products on you and squeeze you for every cent you’re worth.
I was in amazement. I couldn’t believe a licensed professional was trying so hard to push products and procedures on me.
I understand that dentists need to make a living, but this was just too much.
Once I refused, he seemed offended and then proceeded to push yet another product on me. He tells me that he was able to get my insurance company to approve «Nightguard» — which is something you wear to sleep to prevent you from grinding your teeth.
Once I refused that product as well, he practically shoved me out the door.
Needless to say, I will have to find another dentist in NY.
