Marc Lazare, DDS

I first met Dr. Lazare in 2007. At that time, I needed a filling. He was very professional, explained clearly what i needed. He did an impeccable job. He has very light and soft hands. I was very comfortble that i even fell asleep. I did not feel a thing (did not feel that he injected the anesthesia already). I always look forward to each and every visit. Shoutout to Liezl, (dental hygienist) who does the best cleaning ever. Makes me feel i have new set of teeth after every cleaning. She is very professional but at the same time makes one feel she is a friend (she greets you with ur first name and always with a smile in her face). She also makes sure all goes well at every visit. The whole office is very clean and well kept. The rest of the staff are very accomodating and very nice. Highly recommended. I always tell my friends that Dr. Lazare is the best dentist.

I need to applaud Dr. Marc Lazare and his staff for taking the dental experience to a new level. It is apparent that everyone at this practice takes pride in their work and are able to deliver stellar patient service. This gives me the comfort and assurance that I am in great hands. I am always greeted by name and with a smile by everyone in the office-​these are the little things that make a big difference to me! What I liked most was how interactive my consultation and treatments were. My oral concerns were fully acknowledged, everything was carefully explained to me and I was able to able to get a clear idea of all of my options, my treatment plan, as well as my progress. I highly recommend Dr. Marc Lazare to anyone seeking the best dental care, which is really what we all deserve.

I was referred to Dr. Lazare from a girlfriend and my entire experience was seamless, from coordinating an appointment with his super friendly staff to the beautiful state-​of-​the-​art office, the visit was perfection! I came in and was greeted by two lovely smiling faces who were more than accommodating! They offered me coffee or tea and escorted me to the balcony as I was early for my appointment and clearly very nervous! The fresh air and beautiful view really did the trick while I anxiously filled out my paperwork. I had my teeth cleaned with Susan, who was such a doll! She was very gentle and thorough, she really made me feel comfortable (even put on the kind of music I like to help me relax before she started)! I had an exam with Dr. Lazare who was very knowledgable, he gave me a lot of info about veneers and we discussed Invisalign to correct minor crookedness of my front teeth. I like that he was not pushy at all, he just gave me the facts and his expert opinion and let me decide which option sounded best. Dr. Lazare used a special camera to show me inside my mouth and explain what he was recommending and why which was extremely helpful. Afterwards I sat down with his assistant who was lovely, went over fees for each option. Dr. Lazare’s recommendation turned out to be the less expensive option which was reassuring, I felt like he had my best interests at hand not just money, what a breath of fresh air, no pun intended. She explained the Invisalign process and I am scheduled to start in 2 weeks. She was so great she pre-​scheduled my first month of appointments to make sure I had the time to stay compliant. The entire office was wonderful, I can’t wait for my next dentist visit, I never thought I’d say that!

I recently had to change dentists and was referred to Marc Lazare, DDS. As the below reviews state, the office is beautiful, the equipment is state-​of-​the art and the staff is friendly and professional. I had my teeth cleaned by Susan who was fabulous and thorough. Dr. Lazare is professional, warm and also very thorough. I felt like I was in good hands during my entire appointment.
Their office has two balconies with amazing views so if you get there early, you can actually sit outside which is the perfect way to relax before your appointment.
I cannot say enough good things about this practice and I’m already looking forward to my next cleaning in February!

Very professional staff. Doctor is very honest and gentle. My dental work was painless and natural.

Believe me, I never thought I would write a recommendation for a dentist (having a phobia). But I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Marc Lazare based on the work he’s done on my teeth and for the caring office environment his staff creates. He is a true professional who possess a warm chair-​side manner and quiet pride in his quality work.
Having grown up in the 1970’s, I developed more than a few cavities as a child due to a diet of Coca-​Cola and twinkles. Fortunately, we had access to free dental care. Unfortunately, that was at the hands of newly-​minted Army dentists who had yet to learn about painless dentistry. Long story short, I developed an intense phobia concerning dentists which leaves me white-​knuckled whenever I find myself in a dental chair
Towards the end of last year I needed to have a cracked molar repaired. I figured that there had to be advances in dentistry that offered viable alternatives to a crown or an implant. So I spent some time researching and found a reference to biomimetic dentistry. As I investigated it I found that it appealed to me as it seeks to preserve the existing tooth structure rather than replace it with artificial structures. I searched for practitioners here in New York and found Dr. Lazare who’s office is within walking distance from work. So, I called to schedule an appointment to fix the tooth and much to my surprise Erin was able to fit me in first thing in the morning.
The date came and I dutifully showed up for an exam with a sense of trepidation (fearing that there wasn’t anything that could be done to fix that tooth). I was greeted warmly and then quickly led into an examination room where Eric offered water and help with my jacket. Very shortly Dr. Lazare showed up to introduce himself and let me know that he’d return after the x-​rays had been taken. After that he performed a comprehensive examination of my mouth complete with detailed pictures of each tooth. After he was finished he took the time to explain to me the state of each tooth and the treatment options for the cracked molar. The news wasn’t as bad as I feared in that he could save the tooth, but it would take a few hours of work. Fortunately, he had a last minute cancellation and would be able to do the work later that day if I wanted to. Since I was already there, I agreed.
The procedure went better than I expected. First, he applied numbing gel to where the Novocain shot would be administered, then Eric (his assistant) offered me the remote to the TV to select a movie from the Apple TV while the numbing took effect, then the Dr. administered the shot and waited for it to take effect. Due to my bone structure it took a few more injections to completely numb the area, but Dr. Lazare was patient with the process. Finally, they put me on nitrous oxide and started the procedure. The procedure itself took a couple of hours as he removed the old filling and then repaired and rebuilt the tooth structure. However, I was sufficiently distracted by the movie and the nitrous to not feel like I had been tortured all afternoon.
At the end of the procedure he gave a presentation on what he did. He showed me the pictures of my tooth at each step of the procedure and explained in detail what he did at each point and why he did it. I was certainly impressed by this.
Over the last 4 months I’ve returned to him several more times for a cleaning, a repair of another tooth and the replacement of worn fillings. Each time I have been warmly greeted and professionally attended to by his staff and given a detailed explanation afterwards of the work Dr. Lazare performed. Also, Eric and Gretchen are very kind assistants and the cleaning performed by Liezel left my teeth sparkling. Erin and Gabrielle did a great job in coordinating my dental insurance benefits for this

This review is for Lauren Becker, DDS.
First of all, the other reviews are right… the office is impeccable. They have a little balcony you can sit at (though it is doubtful you will wait), free tea, water and coffee. The individual exam rooms have iPads, Pandora, and flat screen TVs.
Normally, I hate the dentist, but Lauren took great care of me. The time passed quickly as I zoned out watching Fresh Prince of Belair. Lauren and I chatted, and she constantly made sure I was doing OK. She’s very personable and easy to approach about problems.
They take a video camera inside your teeth and show you how your mouth is doing… very cool! Everything turned out A-​OK this time and I was on my way in about 40 minutes.
A week later, I was having some pain with a tooth, and Lauren made room in her schedule for me, wrote some prescriptions, and I am feeling completely back to normal in 24 hours.
Great practice! Highly recommend!!! Also, it’s close to Magnolia Bakery and Bloomingdale’s… always an excuse to shop.

He’s the bomb diggity and I love his staff. I’ve been a bit nutty in recent days and hadn’t made it to the dentist for a cleaning in about 2 years (so terrible), so I was freaking out I’d get someone who would berate me and tear up the inside of my mouth while claiming I need a billion services I don’t.
First off, the office is absolutely gorgeous. Super clean, really cool and high tech — they have a TV, Apple TV (complete with hundreds of movies!) and music surround-​sound to help you stay distracted during the appointment. His staff talks you through any procedure and are not pushy. I went to see him on a Living Social deal and thought I’d be pushed for teeth whitening and other things I don’t want right now, but they never once tried to upsell me or do anything more than the cleaning/​exam. I actually had to ask them about teeth whitening!
I can’t say enough about his office. I’d give him ten stars if I could.

Do you know anyone who loves going to the dentist? I was a hater all my life until I met Dr. Lazare though my boss. We’ve been referring him to anyone who hates their dentist and now, I’m referring him you fellow Unilocalers. You will NOT be disappointed. New zen style office location (115 East 61^st Street #14a) has extra friendly staff and super high-​tech office. They even have a patio with amazing city view as extra waiting room. Doc… you get 5 super stars from me! :)
