Dr. Zuckerman is an absolutely WONDERFUL pediatric dentist. She is kind, patient, and attentive, but also thorough and clear with kids about how they should be taking care of their teeth. She explains things to both parents and children really well. Her office is extremely well-run and organized. We feel very lucky to have found Dr. Zuckerman and her practice!
Our son has been a patient of Dr. Zuckerman's for about seven years and she's the best dentist ever. Our son looks forward to going to Dr. Zuckerman and reminds us when he's overdue for a cleaning. He was bummed that he wasn't able to go during Covid. Christina, who manages the office, is amazing, too...always friendly and helpful.

Dr Lana and Dr. ZUCKERMAN and His whole staff are astonishing. My kids have been seeing him for the beyond 8 years. Specialist Dr Lana and is truly learned, easygoing, and fun. He has an approach to causing the youngsters to feel calm and agreeable in a circumstance that could without much of a stretch be scaring. For instance, my kid went in today for a filling. He was extremely frightened. Yet, Dr Lana and Dr. ZUCKERMAN and his right hand were exceptionally persistent, delicate, and obliging. I significantly value all the work that was advanced to make this experience charming.
I come Pediatric Dentistry of New York across a few years ago and sent them pictures of my mouth and explained that wanted a full smile makeover as I was unhappy with my teeth. They sent me a quote and it was pretty much spot on with the costs for what they said I needed doing. I would highly recommend these as the whole process was excellent, From getting picked up in the VIP taxis to sitting there with a drink from the fresh pegs bar ( strawberry milkshake ) The staff are all very friendly and the dentist I had was amazing. Thank you very much.
We have been coming to the 180 west end ave location for years. Dr. Jennifer Zuckerman is wonderful as well as her team. They are so patient with my child who has autism. More professionals are needed like this!
Once my daughter's pediatric dentist moved out of state I was searching for a pediatric dentist that would be just as patient, gentle, attentive, friendly, and caring. Dr. Svetlana (Lana) Musheyev of Pediatric Dentistry of NY, is all the words I just described. My daughter was terrified due to a previous negative experience and Dr. Lana was able to get her to relax and calm down. The friendly environment makes the kids feel comfortable from the time they walk through the door until they are finished. The kids are also able to play on i pads while waiting to be seen and while in the room can watch TV while getting the work done. My insurance doesn't cover much but their prices are affordable. They're even opened on Sundays which is perfect so my daughter doesn't have to miss school and I won't miss work. There are also two locations, I would definitely recommend Pediatric Dentistry of NY.
Dr. Zuckerman is the best! She makes bringing my 19 month old to the dentist 100% effortless. Not only does she provide a thorough exam and cleaning but she has you in and out with a quickness. I wholeheartedly recommend Pediatric Dentistry of NY to anyone in search of a dentist for their little one 😀
We have been coming here for several years and consistently have positive experiences. Upon arrival, we are welcomed by Valerie, who greets each of us by name. Dr. Zuckerman is a terrific pediatric dentist. She is kind, warm and patient, particularly with my younger son who gets extremely anxious while in the dentists’ chair. I always trust Dr. Zuckerman’s recommendations and treatment as her expertise is second to none!
