I was referred to Dr. DeBonis in 2004 by my prior dentist when I moved to NYC. I remember at first I was reluctant to try his practice because he wasn't ""in-network"" for me. I wasn't sure if it would be worth any extra cost I might pay beyond insurance. However, not having another rec, I did visit Dr. DeBonis, and I couldn't have been happier! I've been a satisfied patient there for the past 7 years!
Four things stand out for me: First, they have a reliably meticulous approach to cleanings and more complex procedures (I had a root canal done there). Second, the whole team is warm and attentive. Their level of personal attention makes it feel almost like a ""dental spa!""
Third, I like that Dr. DeBonis and his assistants are actively/intelligently engaged with patients' lives, world news, NYC cultural events, etc. Not required but reassuring! Finally, I feel the practice is fair in its operations. If I have ever expressed any concerns re costs or necessary procedures, the conversation/solution that followed was always thoughtful, respectful, considerate and fair. Overall, a great Dr. and a great practice!
