Rejuvenation Health NYC

I joined their $2,000/year membership expecting a high level of service and organization. Unfortunately, that’s not what the experience reflected. My first appointment had to be canceled because I had norovirus, and despite it being my first visit, they deducted one of the cleanings from my membership with no flexibility on policy. At my next appointment, I ended up spending about three hours in the office without any prior notice that it would take that long. I respect thorough care, but setting proper expectations relative to time matters. Driving an hour there, three hours in the chair, and another hour back took essentially half a workday with no expectations set beforehand. After that visit, I was told I would receive a clear treatment plan with explanations and cost breakdowns so I could make informed decisions. Instead, I had to follow up multiple times and didn’t receive anything for over a week. When you’re paying $2,000 a year for a membership, you shouldn’t have to chase down basic follow-through like that. A week later, Paola, the operations manager, called and said she had just seen my email. While they did reinstate the missed visit, the response felt reactive rather than proactive especially after I brought up the fact they cancelled on my wife within the same policy timeframe of 48 hours. On top of that, the treatment plan I eventually received came in at roughly $57,000 and was still missing key points we had already discussed, which only added to the confusion. Overall, the experience felt disorganized from start to finish. The time expectations weren’t communicated, the follow-up was delayed, and the final plan lacked clarity. For a practice positioning itself at a premium level, I expected much better communication, organization, and respect for a patient’s time and money. Because of that, I can’t recommend them to anyone looking for transparency, strong communication, and a premium-level experience to match the price.

Coming to Rejuvenation Health was the best decision I could have made. I was in terrible pain from an implant done elsewhere and came here for help. Dr. Shargel took the time to explain my options and performed LAPIP to save the implant. He has incredibly gentle hands and made sure I was completely comfortable and pain-free the entire time. By the next day, it already started to feel better. And his assistant Max was also wonderful — so caring, calming, and attentive🙏 I truly love Rejuvenation Health and highly recommend Dr. Shargel and his team♥️

Let's start with the fact I am terrified of the dentist, the smell of a dental office makes me weak in the knees, my instinct is to run! I recently went to Rejuvenation Health, my initial thought was this is more like a spa setting then a scary dental office..the entire staff were so warm and caring it began to put me at ease. I was seen by Dr. Curatola who greeted me with the same warmth. Turns out the discomfort (pain!) I'd been ignoring for over a month was a severe infection and I would need oral surgery to remove top and bottom wisdom teeth on my left side. Dr. Temkin performed my surgery. Before the surgery I was given a cozy sweat suit and was then velcroed into a Lymphatic drainage suit meant to help the healing process post surgery, it was such a relaxing experience I barely had time to acknowledge I was supposed to be terrified. Dr Temkin was very gentle and asked about my comfort level through the entire surgery. Post surgery I had zero swelling and no pain! I will NEVER go to another dental practice. The level of care, I received was above and beyond my expectations. Dr. Curatola and his team set a standard of care that is unparalleled. I would urge anyone who wants top notch cutting edge dentistry and holistic care to check out Rejuvenation Health.

I've been thinking about this dentist for a few years now. As he keeps appearing on podcasts I listen to. I went to his office for a teeth cleaning and to find out if I had any cavitations since I'd been in ill health for some time. It's a very pretty and modern office and everyone is very kind. However, I was kept waiting for a long time and I was there for about five hours for a teeth cleaning and cone beam scan. (For reference, my current dentist has me in and out with x-rays and cleaning in 45). I finally met with Dr. Curatola who said I had 4 cavitations that needed to immediately dealt with and then was given a bill that was somewhere between $18,000 to $25,000 for them to be fixed. Given the steep cost, I thought, let me just get some second opinions. I went to two other top biological dentists in the city who both did cone beam scans of their own and both said they could find no cavitations and that the spots Dr. Curatola pointed out where just normal parts of my jaw. They are both highly reputable and were disgusted that Dr. Curatola would try to charge such a flagrant amount for a dental problem I did not even have. Just because this place is super expensive and the Dr. Curatola does a ton of promotion and is on reputable podcasts, doesn't mean it's good.

As soon as I got my veneers and my bite was corrected, everything changed. My breathing improved almost immediately, and I started sleeping through the night without issues. Not only do my teeth look incredible, but my quality of life has drastically improved.
