Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Friendly, efficient and trusting.

Dr. Apfel is not only an extremely competent and kind practitioner of restorative implant dentistry, he is brilliantly artistic. The implant bridges that he made for me are very natural and look like they’ve always been part of my smile. It seems easy to spot people with dental restorations, as they often appear too white and too regular. That is not the case with the restorations Dr. Apfel made for me. I can’t get over how beautiful, natural and realistic they appear. In addition, the comfort and chewing ability is absolutely outstanding. For implant restoration dentistry, I would definitely recommend Dr. Paul Apfel.

There are no words to express my gratitude for all that you have done for me. Your expert restoration of my teeth have given me the ability, once again, to live a normal life. Your diligence, step-by-step procedures, gentleness and patience, are commendable.

Dr. Apfel is an outstanding dentist--his work is exemplary--he is a perfectionist. He takes the time to explain thoroughly what needs to be done, answers questions in layman terms and is an understanding, concerned for the patient doctor. His love of his dental work is carried out in his every "dental artistry." Quite frankly, I am proud to be his patient. Dr. Apfel is a man of his word. You can trust his judgment. I would highly recommend him to family and friends without hesitation.

I have been a patient of Dr. Apfel's for 12 yrs. He was recommended by my periodontist. Dr. Apfel's diagnoses are consistently accurate, his workmanship exemplary. It has been my experience that his professionalism is enhanced by warmth and a personal concern for his patients. Beyond general dentistry he excels in cosmetic enhancements with precise attention to a natural result. I recommend Dr.Apfel without hesitation. Respectfully, Linda Kleet

Dr. Apfel is a perfectionist, his work is the best. I decided to do veneers, they came out great. They are so natural and beautiful. I can't stop smiling. I'm just sorry I did not do them sooner. The staff was warm and friendly. I highly recommend this amazing office.

Dr. Apfel, my dentist for 30+ years. A patient, kind, considerate, compassionate, honest, gentle excellent dental technician who takes the time to listen to his patients concerns. He has helped me overcome my almost paralyzing fear of dental work. I now live in FL, but still travel to NY to see him. He has given me good dental health and literally changed my life. A excellent choice for anyone. I highly recommend him without reservation. A true credit to his profession. Thanks Dr. Apfel!

I met Dr Apfel and Rena over a year ago. I was referred to him by another exceptional Doctor, Dr.Jeff Kopman after a 10 years of discomfort. With Dr Apfel's empathy to my pain,and his confidence and knowledge I knew I was in the best possible hands. He corrected all the mistakes that my previous dentist made. Understanding my case was complicated, he re assured me I was in good hands and will do everything with full confidence in his power to make it right. In my book he scores, priceless
