Dr. Lahkhar has been my dentist since 1996. For my first visit, I scheduled myself for a cleaning and the night before the appointment, my front tooth started to ache. It turned out to be abcessed and that first visit went from a routine cleaning to a root canal, which was traumatic for me but very much mitigated by her caring and calming chairside manner and the professionalism of not only Dr. Lahkhar, but that of her staff. Since that first memorable visit, I finished that root canal, got a crown on that tooth in 1997 (which no one believes is a crown to this day!) and have had a glowing smile since. The staff is amazing and they have all been there a long time. It seems like a nice place to work as well as visit every six months, which is important, because happy people do a better job. Dealing with insurance has never been a problem and I've found the cost to be on par with other practitioners in the area--this is New York, after all. I've lived in four NYC boroughs since 1996 and I've always traveled to midtown to have my dentistry done by Lahkhar. She 's awesome and the only dentist I trust with my mouth.

About Hygienist: Maria is there part-time and, like most of the other staff, has been with Dr. Lahkhar a very long time (15 or 20 years, I think?). She is excellent, very professional and kind and thorough in her work. She always asks if something might be too painful or if I need any numbing and I always end up feeling very clean at the end. I also always leave with a new toothbrush and floss, which I look forward to.

I know this doctor: 15 years
