Meridian Dental Group

Dr. Amanda Chan is a life saver. I’ve had a very bad fear of dentists which in turn caused me to ignore multiple problems that were stacked one on top of the other. I thought I had to take medication every time I went to the dentist but after I met Dr. Chan, she eased me back in and now I love going to see her. She addressed all that I needed to do step by step — 3 root canals and crowns and 3 cavities to be filled. She did them beautifully with no pain. She is quite the artist!

I have been coming here for almost 5 years. Dr. Soeprono is very nice and gentle. He always tries to answer my questions. Revel who cleans my teeth are also very nice and does a great job!

This practice is absolutely gorgeous, with state of the art equipment and wonderful friendly staff. I always hard going to the dentist until I started seeing Dr. Chan, she is friendly, knowledgeable and willing to answer all my questions. They were willing to reach out to my insurance to see what I am covered for which was so helpful. I would never want to go to any other dentist again and recommend Meridian Dental Group 100%.

I highly recommend Dr. Chan. She has wonderful credentials and background. Her office is very clean and modern. All of the staff are very pleasant. Dr. Chan was very professional, she answered all of my questions patiently and pleasantly, and she thoroughly explained any procedures she was going to do and any that may need to be done in the future. I have very sensitive teeth and am very scared of dentists, but she quelled any of my fears and concerns. I will continue to see her and listen to her advice.

I moved here from the South, and needed a new dentist here in the city. I researched online and read wonderful reviews about Dr. Cho and his staff at Meridian Dental Group, so I decided to book an appointment.
I must say that they are the nicest, most professional people. Dr. Cho came in to exam me, and he explained everything in great detail, and really made me feel comfortable. He really knows his craft. I was due for a cleaning and was really impressed with their dental hygienist. She was so sweet and funny, she worked quickly and made sure to explain things as she went along.
The facility is immaculate and very chic in décor. The front desk receptionist was a doll, and got my paperwork entered quickly and I didn’t even have to wait 5 minutes. To say I am impressed with the overall experience would be an understatement! I am so happy to have found a dentist and staff I trust. They did not try to sell me anything or boost any kind of product. They were straight to the point, and took time to answer any questions I had.
I am so elated with my visit that I would thoroughly recommend this dental group to my friends and family.

Dr. Cho helped save my mom’s tooth. My mother had a botched procedure from a discount chain dental group and was suffering for months. Dr. Cho was attentive and thorough. His staff was excellent! Whether you’re in the city or even Westchester like me, go to Meridian.

A very nice and relaxed atmosphere. My appointment was on time and I had the best cleaning experience ever. Dr. Cho is a master at his work!

Today was my second visit to Dr. Chan. Upon my first visit, I found her to be professional and very efficient. My procedure today was pretty painless as far as fillings go. They use state of the art equipment and the offices are very clean and gorgeous. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
I’m not one who loves going to the dentist, who is? But I will absolutely be back!

I love Dr. Cho. He does the most beautiful fillings. If I need a very difficult filling done, I’ll go back to him. The man’s an artist. But there are two kinds of dentists: one that addresses every little cavity as soon as possible and one that addresses cavities when it becomes a problem. Dr. Cho would be the first kind. And I found out later on that that might not be such a great idea because fillings are never as strong as real teeth, being that it’s bone. So if you have a lot of fillings, like I do, your teeth will overall become pretty weak. Another unfortunate matter is this practice has some of the highest prices and doesn’t take some dental insurance. I had a difficult time keeping Meridian and Dr. Cho because they didn’t take my insurance at my new job. As for customer service, it depends who’s at the desk. Four years ago, the girls were good. After the office renovated, like two years ago, the staff was impersonal and unfriendly like the girl with the glasses that gets you to pay at the end who doesn’t smile. Maybe Meridian is getting bourgeois. But for me and doctor’s offices, it’s the quality of the work and the kindness of the staff that gets me to return. The best thing besides Dr. Cho’s artistry is you get to plug in and watch TV while he works.

I adore Dr. Cho and team, this was a real Unilocal success story for me, when I moved to New York from the south I was overwhelmed and had no idea how to pick a dentist in the seas of options. I ended up going on Unilocal and searching for dentists and the reviews for Dr. Cho sold me.
This practice is every bit as kind, professional, and sleek as everyone describes it. You walk in to a gorgeously decorated waiting room that could be the waiting from for a spa, it has soft trickling water and light wood. I’ve always been seen within 5 minutes of my appointment time which, to anyone in NYC, you know is a rarity and a pleasure. Every dental hygienist is professional and warm; they effectively get your xrays and prework done quickly. Added benefit, while you are in the chair they have a tv with Hulu, it makes going to the dentist a treat, especially if you need more extensive work done.
Dr. Cho himself is efficient and pragmatic, he explains the situations honestly, for example, when I had to get my wisdom teeth out he told me there was only one that had to come out but recommended to get them all out because of the way they were positioned. His analysis empowered me to make the right decision.
The other story that I think really highlights how great Dr. Cho is was when I was in a 4pm appointment, the last of that day. He had finished up the scheduled checkup work. He pointed out to me that my filling of my chipped tooth was uneven. Being a front tooth I asked how soon we could schedule to fix it, and even though my appointment was over he fixed it right then, really extraordinary care for these days.
The other thing I like is the office staff is fantastic with billing, they tell you exactly what things cost before they happen and I’ve never had a billing issue or confusion.
Fun Fact: Like the music you hear in the office? All the playlists are put together by Dr. Cho!

Thank you for your comments but you didn’t address a solution to any of the issues I mentioned. I asked your receptionist for copies of my X-​rays emailed to me and she gave me numerous empty promises while attempting to sell me on «up sells».
What’s your solution?

Really fantastic experience (even for a dentist)! After not going to a dentist for a few years (I know, I know — waaaay too long without seeing one) I finally got enough courage to just book an appointment already and get my oral hygiene back on track. I had a cleaning by Cindy and Dr. Cho stopped in to take a look as well. Both were great and the personal TVs are definitely an awesome touch! I think that the best thing about my experience was that instead of just scolding me for not flossing, they actually showed me what was happening to my teeth and gums from not flossing which should be a serious motivator for anyone. I will definitely be back!

Dr. Chan is amazingly when it comes to dealing with trouble patients. I am a pain in the ass every time i go to the dentist office, i would yell stop every 5 minutes because my nerves get the best of me. I can barely control my own mouth when I am at the dentist office because I am so nervous. And yet Dr. Chan is able to deal with it all. I swear she has the patience of a saint. She has the ability to make a trouble patient like me to relax and makes me not horrified at the thought of going to the dentist! The office itself is clean and modern, also almost brand new since they just renovated and expanded last year. Great staff too.

Terrific practice! Lovely, clean offices, a fabulous cleaning, and a visit with Dr. Cho… All professional and painless. Very approachable staff. I have already booked my next cleaning in 6 months!

I am HORRIFIED about dentist visits, but Meridian Dental is exceptional. Dr. Rozenfeld is incredibly sweet, and takes her time to explain everything and tells you everything step by step as she goes. Best dentist I’ve ever been to. So worth it! Highly recommend.

I started coming to Meridian because Dr. Cho used to practice at Dr. Lim’s office when I was a patient there. I was amazingly surprise how good of a dentist he was. He’s patience, detail-​oriented and did an exceptional job in all my fillings. So when he and his wife opened their own dentist office a few years ago, it was my to-​go dentist. The facility is clean, modern and high tech. Staff was also nice and helpful.
There were times when Dr. Cho was unavailable to see me, however the other 2 doctors that examined me were just as good. I’ve been to other facilities before and they do not deliver to my expectation as Meridian does. Their recent office expansion signifies their overall growth.
They used to only open M-​F 9am-​5p, which was tough as I used to work in downtown, but because I think they’re worth it that I would leave work early to go see them. Try not to be late, one time I was 20 minutes late (due to the train) and end up getting half my check-​up done which was upsetting to me but at the end it was my fault. This is also the reason why overall wait time is great, at most is 5 minutes as they would not overbook or overlap appointments.

I have nothing but great things to say about them. I just had my wisdom teeth removed today with Sr. Cho, and he did such a good job that I didn’t feel any pain during the entire process, not before and not after (not even now). It could be because of the teeth were in a good position to remove, but the way he does it was so gentle and he makes sure you understand the entire process which just makes you feel so not anxious — on a dentist chair!
The team there is really friendly and responsive as well! I had a treatment plan for me and they sent me PDF of the entire plan with the expected expenses, and they answer all kinds of questions you have. A great doctor plus a responsible and professional team, what can u ask more from a dental office?

Bad teeth is something that I unfortunately inherited. This includes root canals, crowns, impacts, a bridge, cavities, etc. I have always had a very close relationship with my dentist due to frequent visits to ensure my teeth remain healthy and my smile gleaming. When I moved to NY 4 yrs ago, I blindly searched to find a practice that I could rebuild a relationship. I found Meridian Dental and Dr. Cho through Unilocal.
On my first visit, I absorbed all that is provided through this practice and felt really good. As I continued visiting, I felt so at home and I enjoy going to the dentist.
The practice/​office is spotless and their equipment is up to date
I never have to wait in a lobby
HULU in the chair is a plus
Same staff, since I began, that recognize my voice when I call! Staff retention really speaks to excellence in management.
Office staff always do all the dirty work with my insurance provider
Dr. Cho goes above and beyond by educating me on current state and action plans to keep my teeth healthy and beautiful. Even though I always follow his advise, he provides options on next steps so you can make an educated decision on how you want your needs handled.
I NEVER feel the anesthesia injection!
He works with extreme accuracy and can accomplish a lot in each or any visit. The finished product is nothing but the best!
I truly lucked out finding Dr. Cho. He is a kind & smart person and a incredibly skilled Dr.
Both Dr Cho & Dr Chan deserve EVERY rave review as it has been earned through hard work in their practice and excellence in customer service.

Perfect convenient Midtown location.
Small, very clean office with great staff.
TVs with Hulu that you can watch before/​during/​after your appointment/​procedures — amazing.
I’ve seen a few dentists in the city and finally found the one! Everyone there was so kind and helpful. I have (had!) a fear of the dentist from a bad experience in Seattle a few years ago, but everyone here put my fears to rest. They would explain what they were going to do before they did it, and didn’t look upset or annoyed if I freaked out a bit and needed a break. I had my first crown put in here and I was surprised at how relaxed and painless the whole procedure was here!
Will be back — but hopefully just for cleanings :)
ps-​New patient appointment took awhile to schedule because they were booked up and allow a bigger time slot for new patients (I think) but after scheduling has not been bad at all. Had to move my crown appointments several times due to work and did not have any issue.
