"All I can say is... "WOW!". I recommend all my friends who need complex dental work to this office. Dr. Zelig is a real professional with an excellent and positive attitude. He is a great clinician and a great guy. He really cares about his patients and it shows in his work. His staff is friendly and knowledgable. Highly recommended"

"I had a wonderful experience at Dr. Zelig's office. Dr. Zelig did a "gum-lift" to correct my gummy smile. He gave me the confidence to smile again. He is excellent!"

"Dr. Zelig did 2 implants in order to create a 3-tooth bridge. I was a little nervous about the procedure and he put me at ease saying that it "was a piece of cake". Well, it was better than a piece of cake -- now I can chew anything on it, and not worry about breaking a tooth. They are stronger than your regular teeth. First of all, there was absolutely no pain involved in placing the implants, my face never swelled, I never became black and blue -- I just carried on right after and even went back to work. Dr. Zelig is the sweetest, most caring dentist you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. If you need implants -- DR. ZELIG IS THE ONE TO SEE!!!! Dr. Zelig and Dr. Schmidt work so well together -- Dr. Zelig places the implant, then Dr. Schmidt builds a tooth or bridge on top of it -- all of this in the same office -- It's very convenient. If you're like me - and are apprehensive about having implants -- there's nothing to fear -- they feel perfectly natural and are very strong. Try Drs. Zelig and Schmidt at Smile in the City -- even for a consultatation and you'll understand why I feel so strongly about my review."

"All I CAN SAY IS...IF YOU'RE TIRED OF EATING BABY FOOD OUT OF A JAR, MATZO BALL SOUP, FOOD THRU A STRAW,TIRED OF PUTTING YOUR UPPERS AND/OR YOUR LOWERS IN YOUR POCKET WHEN YOU GO OUT TO DINNER OR HOLDING THEM IN YOUR HANDS WHEN YOU BRUSH, DROPPING THEM IN A GLASS AT NIGHT BEFORE YOU GO

TO SLEEP,TRYING TO WHISTLE FOR A TAXI CAB AND NOTHING COMES OUT AND MOST OF ALL...WHEN YOU TRY TO "SMILE" WHEN YOU'RE HAVING YOUR PICTURE TAKEN WITH THE "BIG BOSS" WHEN HE OR SHE PROMOTES YOU OR YOU GET INTRODUCED TO OTHERS AND WHEN YOU TRY TO "SMILE", IT LOOKS LIKE THE TWO TUBES OF THE HOLLAND TUNNEL RUNNING ON EACH SIDE OF YOUR LAST TWO FRONT TEETH OR YOU LOOK LIKE "GABBY HAYES" FROM THE OLD "HOPALONG CASSIDY" COWBOY MOVIES...

BUT "IF" YOU WANT TO LOOK. FEEL, EAT, BRUSH,WHISTLE AND MOST OF ALL, "SMILE" GO SEE DDS SCHMIDT AND DDS ZELIG AND THEIR WONDERFUL STAFF. SO IT MIGHT COST A LITTLE MORE THEN DENTAL FLOSS. BUT BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU, EVERYTIME YOU LEAVE THEIR OFFICE, YOU'LL REALLY..."SMILE IN THE CITY" WOULD AN EX-NYPD DETECTIVE LIE TO YEA ?"

"Dr Zelig & Dr Schmidt are truly superb at what they do. Their office is a place where you leave feeling better about yourself and looking great. I had 2 implants placed by Dr. Zelig and 6 veneers done by Dr. Schmidt. The doctors took the time to listen to my concerns and goals and delivered beyond my expectations. I HIGHLY recommend "Smile in the City Dental Group" to anyone who is looking to be treated by a group of caring and skilled specialists."

"Dr. Zelig is a High-Level Periodontist who practices High-Level Implant Dentistry. Two previous "implant gurus" both said that I was not a candidate for implants, but Dr. Zelig was able to successfully place implants. He was the only specialist that could give back my self-confidence. My life has drastically changed for the better because of my implants (i no longer have removeable dentures), and I owe Dr. Zelig a tremendous debt of gratitude. If you are considering implants, you owe it to yourself to see Dr. Z."

"I just had my first implant ever done by Dr. Zelig. Now I want to replace all of my problem teeth! Dr. Zelig made it quick and painless. He has a way of shaking your lip so that the injection didn't even register much less hurt. The office is very clean, equipment state-of-the-art, and office personnel so pleasant"

"To date I have found the experience to be extremely positive. Dr. Zelig sat and talked at length about the prcedure and cost. He has a very good 'chair-side' manner and put me at ease immediately. Although the procedure has not ended, no pain in the chair at all. I would heartily recommend his services and that of his staff. Keep up the good work!"

"My regular dentist recommended Dr.Zelig for my implant. I was very nervous about having the procedure done, but from start to finish, the whole thing was actually easy and painless! I called his office and was able to get an appointment for a consultation within a couple days. When I got there, he explained the whole procedure and I felt immediately at ease. The office staff answered all my questions about insurance and payment and I scheduled my next appointment for the implant the very next week. I am very happy that I found Dr.Zelig and would highly recommend him- Thank you!"

"When i spoke to my dentist she said i have to go for implants some teeth has to go before she has to start work on me it's a good thing my doctor and doctor Zelig work together as a team and i don't have to go to one place to another.He's so good you won't feel a thing and before you know it he's finish placing the implants.I'm so happy with the result of his work more power."

"Dr. Z is one of a kind!! & his office is made up of some of the most caring & gentle people I have come to know whilst being in NYC. I am from South Africa, but living in NYC as a model. Until meeting him and his colleagues, i had always avoided going to the dentist, as I HAD a terrible fear, which began as a child. I never faced it, until on a flight back to the states after a job, I felt my tooth start to ache so badly, I knew I had to see one, so when i got back I googled Dentist that do I.V sedation in NYC, as I knew this would be the only way I would have a procedure. After reading many testimonials, viewing the website & seeing pictures of his office, I could tell it offered a calming ambience & didn't come across as a cold dentistry office. I called to make an appointment. On the day of it everyone was so kind & could tell I was so nervous so spoke to me in such a way that it lifted my spirits and made me relax. It turned out I needed a root canal. Dr Z kept his promise to me and never began anything till I was completely relaxed, he gave me beautiful calming music to listen to & then the I.V sedation. i never felt a thing! :) I was amazed, and NO swelling the next day!!! He is the BEST!! :)"

"I couldn't be more enthusiastic about the treatment. It was as painless as these treatments can be, both Dr. Zelig and Dr. Schmidt were extremely attentive and sensitive to everything I asked of them and were very knowledgeable about all the different medications I'm taking - which helped avoid many complications. The new crown is perfect, looks and feels very natural. I've had my fill of dentists that are any less than the best - I'm staying with Drs. Zelig and Schmidt."

"I am an absolute basket case when it comes to dental work and I approached Dr. Zelig with the usual fears. He not only made it seem quick and easy, he proved it right in the middle of my exploratory visit by offering to do the procedure (a double implantation) in 20 minutes flat. No lie, it was virtually painless and although I had cold sweats, it was all in my mind not in his procedure or superb technique. Which is the best I could expet and the best is what I got."

 

" I recently went to Dr Zelig for 2 dental implants. I was so nervous, but after meeting with him i knew i was in great hands. His professional and knowlegdable staff walked me through the treatment and my procedure was a complete pain free success. Thank you Dr Zelig for giving me back my zest for life as i can chew normally once again"

"I recently went to Dr Zelig for gum recountouring. I was interested in having this procedure but i was scared about the pain. Dr Zelig uses a laser and the treatment was painless. The procedure took only a few minutes and I was back at work in no time!"

"When my dentist advised that I see a periodontist about a problem area, I did a lot of research to find a really good one. I settled on Dr. Zelig, expecting the best, and was not disappointed. Everything about his work and his office is top-notch, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. My gingivectomy went very well and my mouth now feels super-healthy!"

"Dr. Zelig's office is truly one-of-a-kind. The whole experience was a positive one. The treatment was painless (I had implants placed with IV sedation) and the healing was painless too! I am so glad that I found Dr. Zelig and Smile in the City. They have a patient for life!"

"I highly recommend Dr. Zelig. He is a caring and kind dentist. His level of skill and care is of the highest caliber and it shows in his expert and excellent work. My regular dentist told me I needed gum surgery- a scary thought. So I did some research and found Dr. Zelig online. I was impressed with the laser procedure he uses to treat gum problems. I had the procedure done. He made me feel very comfortable and the procedure was a breeze. I am so glad I found this wonderful periodontist and have recommended him to friends for gum treatments and implants"

"Dr. Zelig performed my laser gum graft. The entire procedure was painless. Dr. Zelig and his staff were friendly and helpful. I'm thrilled with the results."

"Dr. Zelig did posts for multiple implants. Everyone in the facility is very personable. He did excellent work."

"I am a very happy patient of Dr. Zelig. I had several implants placed, as well as laser gum treatment. Dr. Zelig and his office is very high class, and everyone is very professional and friendly. I have had a great experience at Smile in the City."
