Simon Rosenberg, DMD

Dr Rosenberg is the best dentist I’ve ever been to. I’ve had a few that I considered to be excellent, and I don’t hesitate to say this is the most thoughtful, empathetic, generous dentist I’ve had the pleasure to see. I found Dr Rosenberg via a referral from someone I worked with with a stunning smile. I’m glad I asked who their dentist was. I’ve had all manner of work done, from cosmetic to maintenance, and have only had great experiences. He cares about his patients as people, not just clients. And his staff is equally lovely. I could wax on about the kindness and perfectionism I’ve been the benefactor of, but instead I’m just going to wrap this up and say you should change dentists and go see him. I’ll be seeing Dr Rosenberg for as long as I live in NYC.

Dr. Rosenberg is a great person and an awesome dentist. He seems to be very concerned about his patients and takes the time to thoroughly explain more complex procedures. He drew a 3D model of my tooth to explain to me the possible work that would take place.
You have to be vocal about your needs as a patient and explain when things are uncomfortable or painful. He will listen to your concerns and make adjustments accordingly.
I also like the fact that the individuals responsible for billing and Dr. Rosenberg took the time to explain the breakdown of cost and what my insurance would and would not cover. They explained things upfront so that you will not be hit with an outstanding bill after the fact.
I enjoyed my experience with Dr. Rosenberg.

I have avoided going to the Dentist for nearly a decade. I was terrified. I tried going to someone who focused on the phobic patient, but that didn’t work for me.
I am not even sure how I found Dr. Rosenberg’s practice, but I am so happy I did.
Dr. Ilya, Dr. Rosenberg’s associate, has been seeing me for the past month. He is so calming and re-​assuring that I almost fell asleep in the chair. He explains everything and genuinely wants you to feel relaxed.
Further, and this is remarkable, the office staff is kind, accommodating, and will guide you through insurance issues. In fact, I’ve been called once to say that they were running behind and that if I wanted, I could come in a half hour later. My last dentist would let patients sit in the waiting room endlessly without a word about the delay.
If you’re afraid of going and, like me, it weighs on you, you’ll understand when I say it’s a huge relief to have found a great dentist with a wonderful staff. I am so excited to have started the work because now I know that I’m part of the way through it!
Thanks to everyone in the office.

I have been a patient of Dr. Rosenberg for more than 12 years. He and his staff are excellent — and his practice uses the most up to date equipment and procedures you will find. I highly recommend Dr Rosenberg.

A visit to Dr Rosenberg is like a private Discovery channel program created just for you! He draws illustrations and explains everything; the why, the what, the how, and the options in a very straightforward non-​condescending manner.
Elena is the most considerate and caring of any dental hygienist I have ever encountered! My last checkup was pain free and almost pleasant thanks to her!
Having stated the above I must reveal myself to be a former dental coward who is ultra SENSITIVE to heat and cold plus a «gagger» who had up to now had always hated my previous dentists especially when it came to 6 month probing, hurtful checkups and cleanings!
The office atmosphere is welcoming and always friendly. I say this because I am certain that the negative reviewers below must have been confused and REFERRED TO A DENTIST WITH A SIMILAR NAME in the neighborhood — there is no other explanation!

This guy is AWFUL. First his hygienists went to town telling me how all my previous dentists had messed up my teeth — she said that she disagreed with the choice to pull my milk teeth, which didn’t fall out when my adult teeth came in. (I’m guessing she wanted me to have two sets of teeth like a shark??) and she keep harping on about what a terrible idea it is to have your teeth sealed. (I’m not sure what the technical name for that is but you basically have a white paste bonded to your teeth making it almost impossible to get a cavity — yeah sounds like terrible idea — I went 15 years without a cavity, what was I thinking???)
So I surviving her heavy handed cleaning and non-​stop lecturing on things I could do nothing about and I finally got to see Dr Rosenberg. At first I was impressed with his bubble gum flavored surgical gloves, but that was about it.
They found a tiny cavity on one of my back teeth, and thought one was starting on the inside of my canines. The back cavity went fine… at the time, but the front one he decided to tackle without any kind of pain killer.
At the beginning of the appointment they ask you to fill out a questionnaire, and one of the questions was «have you ever had a bad experience with a dentist or do you have any fear of the dentist.» Well, when I filled it out the answer was no — 60 minutes later he’d changed all that.
It was the MOST painful experience of my life, I could barely sit still, I had to repeatedly ask him to stop so I could take a break, and he did nothing to help me — he just seemed annoyed that I couldn’t take the pain.
After it was all over he told me I was probably going to have difficultly with the tooth he had just worked on since it wasn’t perfectly straight and maybe I should think about getting ‘Invisline’ braces. He told me it would cost around $ 5,000 and wasn’t covered by insurance — so I said I didn’t think it was worth it for one crooked tooth, but he didn’t care. He made go back and sit in the waiting room while they burned me a disc explaining the wonders of Invisline, I sat there for 45 mins, in excruciating pain, almost in tears, while he yelled at the poor lady at the front desk because she couldn’t get the disc to burn. After several attempts to leave I was finally allowed out only after promising to return the next day to pick up the disk.
Needless to say I didn’t, and I’ve had continuing problems with both the teeth he worked on. The back one actually cracked in half and part of it fell out 6 months later and the front one had to be completely drilled out since he hadn’t cleaned it properly and had just sealed in whatever gross stuff was in there to work its magic!
This guy is terrible dentist — disrespectful to his staff — and just out to bleed you dry of all the cash he can… on yeah, and his e-​newsletter — I’m glad the other reviewer likes it because there is no way to get off that mailing list — believe me, I’m still trying!

Dr. Rosenberg is the BEST Dentist. He was my dentist for about5−6 years when I lived on the Upper East side and was always terrific. His hygienist (I am probably spelling it wrong) Elena (Helena?) from Russia is gentle and skilled. I saw her alot more than I saw Dr. R. as thankfully I have great, healthy teeth.
Dr. R. also saved my A$$ when I really needed a prescription for recurring cold sores refilled. He did it right over the phone.
He also distributes an e-​newsletters to his patients.
I would not hesitate to recommend his practice — go see Dr. Rosenberg — your oral health is of PARAMOUNT importance.
