Jeffrey Ziar, DMD

I just love Dr. Ziar.
I have panic attacks at the dentist’s office during just a routine cleaning so it was with great horror and fear when I learned that I needed gum grafting for my entire mouth! I had seen another periodontist who made me feel really uncomfortable as he rushed the exam and shoved my questions aside so he could move onto the next patient.
I was referred to Dr. Ziar and am so glad that I went to him for a consultation!
From beginning to end, he soothed my anxious nerves and calmed my fears. He is an extremely friendly, smart, and caring doctor. He patiently answered all of my questions and addressed all my concerns and drew diagrams of my condition so I could completely understand everything. His office is nice, clean and run very efficiently and his assistant, Linda, is great too!
I’ve had almost all quadrants of my gums grafted and the process is not as horrifying as you’d expect (minus the monster shots and soft food diet after). I really attribute that to Dr. Ziar’s magical surgical hands– he is gentle and guides you through the entire surgery.
I’m so grateful that I found such an amazing periodontist!!!
Dr. Ziar is the best!

I was slightly petrified about going to the periodontist after hearing horror stories about gum grafts from a few of my friends (and what horror is more horrifying than dental horror? srsly). I was skeptical even though Dr. Ziar had ridiculously awesome reviews because hey! Maybe gum grafts are so awful that anyone who doesn’t put a meat hook into your jaw is a solid option?
Well let me just say that I have never had a dental experience LESS like a horror movie than at Dr. Ziar’s office. His staff is just so beyond lovely and he is so patient and kind and willing to explain everything (which, if you’re a nerd like me who gets all into how things I don’t understand actually work, is awesome). I had my gum graft, which was shockingly not a million dollars, and it was JUST FINE. Like, a few days of ibuprofen and I felt like a normal person with gloriously fixed gums. Like if you told me tomorrow I needed more gum grafts I’d be a little like «who are you and why are you making mouth decisions for me» but otherwise I’d be like whatever, stranger, Dr. Ziar is the champion of periodontics with the gentle fingers of some kind of magical gingiva angel. For reals.
SO! If there is anything wrong with yo’ mouf you pretty much need to see Dr. Ziar ASAP and you don’t even have to thank me for making your periodontal life wonderful and shining. Unless you want to send a fruit basket or something. Anyway, you’re welcome.

I came here with the hopes of replacing my old dentist (I miss you!) because of an insurance change.
Well, needless to say, after I called two weeks earlier to make my apptmt and make sure they took my insurance, I was quite surprised when I got there and the receptionist looked at my insurance card and said. «Oh yeah, we don’t take that.»
Wait…what? Yeah. Not cool. I gave them some SERIOUS stank eye and we settled on $ 80 for a cleaning (grudgingly). Hey, I had already trekked an hour in from Brooklyn I wasn’t about to walk out unless I had to.
I have to say though, Dr. Ziar was really quite nice and very thorough. He explained to me to why I had tarter build up on the corner of my teeth due to how I was flossing. He even whipped about a model mouth and showed me exactly how to floss it (with fancy angles and all). Pretty stellar.
Sadly I won’t be visiting again due to the insurance issue, but had that otherwise been taken care of I would be back for sure.

I was refered by another dentist to Dr. Ziar for my problem. I had a fracture tooth and gum infection with serious bone losses. I was told by another well known surgeon it was impossible and mucg too complicate to operate.
Dr. Ziar has saved my gum and fixed my bone loss. He was really patient and extrememly professional. He was so meticulous and skillful with the operation and it was nearly painless.
I wish I have met him a long long time ago. Thanks Dr. Ziar!

Been going to Dr. Ziar’s for over 3 years now. He was recommended to me by an ex-​colleague who «handpicked» him out of an entire network of dentists covered by Met Life, based on academic pedigree and *gasp* age. If only I had such skill in security selection! (excuse my string of logic, currently studying)
Dr. Ziar performs routine dental cleaning personally and meticulously. He specializes in gum care. I’ve had periodontal work done 2 years ago, with little to none unease. He was patient in explaining the procedures and I found that helped a lot in knowing what I was getting into. I feel like he knows all of his patients, as he remembers all my friends/​co-​workers who have also begun seeing him. That’s a nice personally touch which you don’t find often in NYC :)

Dr. Ziar is simply terrific. I have had gum problems off and on for many years, and have been to several dentists for treatment. Dr. Ziar is, hands down, the best I’ve been to. He is smart, attentive, and direct, but also has a magically gentle touch when performing dental work that is otherwise very uncomfortable. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Dr Ziar is so lovely. I had two gum grafts with him (which are not pleasant experiences as there is cutting and stitching) but he was so pleasant and calming. I was even allowed to put on the World Cup and sit back and relax. He asked me many times if I felt pain and was doing ok and he saw me ahead of schedule to get my stitches removed when they were bothering me. My initial gum graft is healing nicely and the most current one I’ve received is on its way.

I was actually refer from another Dentist because I had periodontal disease and Dr. Ziar was a specialist for it. He was very nice and patient with me through the whole treatment. He did an excellent job in fixing my gum.

so i’ve been putting of an extraction and well, after eating a bowl of cereal this weekend, it was time to make that appointment and get this thing done!
i called dr. shin’s office (because, again, she totally rocks the party… and she is my dentist!) and dr. ziar spends a day at her office. so on short notice, he squeezed me in at 8am yesterday to pull this bad boy.
10 shots of novocaine, 3 stitches, minus one tooth and 35 minutes later, i was ready to roll. the most painful part of my day was waiting for my antibiotics to be filled at duane reede around the corner – (the 45 minute wait i had was not the same as the 20 minutes she told me!)
i am the opposite of a fan of the dental experience, but this has been my 3^rd visit to this office and yet again, it’s been nothing short of a-​m-​a-​z-​i-​n-​g!!! i’m sore today but that’s because i had a tooth pulled… otherwise, they did a bang-​up job!!!
