Marc S. Lemchen, DMD

Dr. Lemchen successfully expanded my upper bite 14 years ago. After 14 years of wearing the same rugged retainer/​bite plane at night, a new one was needed. Just as before, Dr. Lemchen is completely thorough, knowledgeable, professional, courteous, kind and encouraging. His state-​of-​the-​art facilities, lab and open floor plan inspire confidence. Leesa B, Cara, Mandy, Chloe and his entire staff are completely helpful and kind. In the last 14 years I’ve seen other orthodontists because I travel a lot. Lemchen’s the best.

Dr. Lemchen is an amazing orthodontist and a wonderful caring man. I arrived from Seattle 2 years ago feeling hopeless. I was very unhappy with the work I had done in Seattle and wasn’t sure how to proceed with my treatment. Upon meeting Dr. Lemchen I knew I was in good hands. He and my oral surgeon recommended that I would need orthognathic surgery to correct my bite, I made it clear that I wasn’t interested in surgery. Knowing these were my wishes, he spent time working up a plan that he felt would help me become more comfortable with my bite. Dr. Lemchen worked with me for close to 8 months when I changed my mind and decided to go ahead with surgery. He was very supportive of either choice but made sure surgery was something I really wanted to do before I committed. The surgery went off without a hitch and I’m now 9 months post-​op & braces are off! I couldn’t be happier! I wish all orthodontists were as skilled and kind as this man, the world would be a better place. Not only is Dr. Lemchen wonderful to work with but his entire staff is wonderful. I feel like I know each and every one of his orthodontic assistants personally. One of the best experiences of my life. Thank You! :)

Outstanding! truly a professional clinic. Everyone is courteous, professional and kind, to both the child and the parent. Dr. Lemchen and his staff are truly a gem in the middle of Manhattan. We came over with an emergency when my 10 year old son’s braces broke off (the bracket and wire fell from a job done elsewhere). Dr. Lemchen was recommended to us by friends, and we have to say, we’ve never seen better service in our life. There were many patients being seen and everyone looked happy and confident. (Beautiful children too!) I totally recommend this Orthodontist to any one who wants 1^st class service.

This office is outstanding. The staff memebers are excellent. They are always so helpful, kind and understanding. Big shoutout to Andrea– Thank you so much! I always look forward towards my office visits :)

If you are looking for an excellent orthodontist in NYC or the metro area, look no further than Dr. Marc Lemchen and Dr. Jennifer Salzer. I found Dr. Lemchen when my parents were referred to him from my dentist back in 2005. From my first appointment to all of my current appointments, I know that Dr. Lemchen is an excellent orthodontist. I had my braces on from October 2005 – 2007 and have had permanent wires behind my teeth to keep them looking straight and perfect! His technicians, who are mostly young ladies, are warm, friendly, gentle on your mouth, and skilled at orthodontics. I must give special shout outs to Amy Kang and Jennifer, who usually are my technicians when I have visited. In addition, Dr. Lemchen and Dr. Salzer are excellent at their jobs, as they are warm, friendly, polite, skilled, and trustworthy. The office, which is situated uptown, is clean, inviting and upscale. The reception is centrally located when you enter, with the waiting room located on the left, with plush couches to sit on while you wait. When you walk into the treatment areas, there are comfortable seats that also have TVs overhead with headphones next to them, so you can be entertained while you are having your teeth worked on. Even though I come from Long Island to go here, it is worth the commute by car or by L.I.R.R. and the subway. To get to Dr. Lemchen’s office, take the 4,5,or 6 trains to 59^th St and Lexington Ave, walk up 60^th St to Park Ave and walk up the odd numbered side of the street to building #553 which is at the southeast corner of 62^nd St. Enjoy your visit here and to a happy, healthy smile!

Dr. Lemchen runs a very, very efficient, clean and professional orthodontic office/​practice. His staff, particularly Amy Kang, is great and always welcoming with her smile and fantastic attitude. She is a perfectionist and won’t let you leave without a perfect smile and straightened teeth. Their estimated time for my Invisalign was accurate and their aftercare is superb. It is easy to schedule an appointment and I would recommend anyone to see them.

The worst experience I have ever had with an orthodontist! I first came to this office when I was around 14 years old. We waited in the waiting room for almost 2 hours as their x-​ray machines were broken. I should have known then and there to leave but I stayed. Mistake! Dr. Lemchen put braces on me right away for 2 years. The processes was extremely painful and I was constantly getting cuts in my mouth from the brackets. After the braces were removed, he gave me a retainer for top and bottom.
Dr. Salzer adjusted my retainer without my permission and I’ve never been the same since. She must have done something wrong because I was getting migraine headaches from the retainer, so I was given a night guard instead. The night guard made me start to grind my teeth and I got a tongue thrust issue from it.
Let me say, before I went to this office, I had NONE of these issues.
I can’t believe how much extra money I’ve had to spend on this! I am going through my 2^nd round of braces! Stay away people, stay away!

My experience has always been great. Its a very warm & welcoming place and I have never had a problem. The staff there are all well trained & know exactly what they’re doing. They’re super nice. Ive been going there for about 5 – 6 years now and got my braces off about 2 years ago. My teeth are perfectly straight all because of them. They did an awesome job: D

Warm and welcoming are the first things I think of when I think of Dr. Lemchen, Dr. Salzer and their staff. Every patient is treated like family. This is a big deal breaker for me when I’m looking for a doctor that I will have to spend a great deal of time with. I have been seeing Dr. Lemchen and Dr. Salzer for sometime now while I get Invisalign treatment. They were recommended to me by a very trustworthy friend who has a beautiful smile. A smile that I have always wanted! :-D After my first consultation it was a no brainer that I would continue my treatment with them. The dentist/​orthodontist can be a very daunting place but I never felt worried or scared here. Dr. Salzer was very gentle, calm, caring and extremely informative.
I am very happy with the progress thus far and my teeth look great!
I highly recommend for the entire family. A great place with expert experience.

I am currently receiving Invisalign treatment from Dr. Lemchen and Dr. Salzer’s office. I wanted to get my teeth straightened but did not want braces, Invisalign was the perfect alternative. I am seeing great results from the treatment. I’ve been treated by both Dr. Lemchen and Dr. Salzer and they are both in the forefront of their field and they are very friendly. Not to be left out of this review is their staff. Their staff are very friendly both the front staff and the clinical staff. The front staff are always pleasant and very accommodating with appointments. The clinical staff are great! They are always available when I have any questions or concerns and they make you feel comfortable while you are being treated. Did I mention that they are great with kids too. My children were in braces and have wonderful smiles thanks to Dr Lemchen and Dr. Salzer. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Lemchen and Dr. Salzer to others.

Pre-​Salzer, I felt very hopeless about my teeth. I had orthodontics as a teenager, but now, as an adult, I am a serial grinder, and it had completely ruined my bite. My front teeth in particular were terribly chipped and crooked. My dentist recommended a full round of veneers, but I didn’t want to take such extreme measures with my already-​fragile teeth. I went for a consult with Dr. Salzer to discuss orthodontic options, and two rounds of Invisalign and a bit of bonding later, my face has been completely transformed. I’m not afraid to smile anymore! Dr. Salzer was so professional, positive and thorough, and generally pleasant, that I am able to sit in her chair without a sedative, which is saying a lot. I consider the treatment to be a real value, as my grinding has already lessened, and it has made such a dramatic change to my appearance. The staff is full of total pros, and the office is tricked out in the latest, greatest technology. They’ve made this whole process so easy, going so far as to messenger things so I don’t have to make needless trips to the office. When my son is old enough for orthodontics, I’m definitely sending him to Dr. Salzer and her amazing staff.

Our three kids have been patients of Dr. Lemchen’s office for over 5 years and I continue to be amazed at the practice’s commitment to quality service. My kids now have beautiful smiles, but the strength of this office goes beyond the mechanics of the work performed. Dr. Lemchen’s office could be a role model for other NYC companies. They have a tremendous level of commitment to quality control across the board. Everyone does their respective job the best it can be done. There’s an expression that ‘you’re only as good as your weakest link” and I have yet to encounter a weak link at his practice. I am very grateful for the work his practice has done for our family.

I went to Lemchen my entire life. I got braces for the first time at age 10 (I had such a bad overbite I risked getting them knocked out). My mother never minded paying their prices because Lemchen is supposed to be the best. I’m 22 now and after 2 rounds or braces, lingual wires, several sets of retainers and head gear, if I don’t wear my retainers every night, my teeth shift. I really never expected to pay this much to be a 22 year old wearing retainers to bed every night. That’s a fun one to explain to boyfriends. Anyway – I never had any huge problems, but I do think they’re over priced

I went to Dr. Lemchen and it cost me $ 475 for a consultation. A ton of photographs and scans were taken. Unfortunately, he didn’t answer most of my questions. I repeatedly tried to get information out of him as to what happened and all he did was shrug his shoulders. He wanted me out of there as fast as possible. He had a large computer screen in front of him and he kept clicking away, but I didn’t understand what he said, nor would he explain. It took months to get records from his office. I found the staff difficult to deal with. They kept promising me records and then I never got them. Be careful with prices, they quote you one price, then ask for something much higher. I think the office are full of crooks. I paid $ 475 for nothing. He told me he was going to give me many options when I went to him and he didn’t.
