Park Slope Family Dentistry — Local services in New York

Dr. Warshaw is one of the best dentists I've had in my 49 years of life. This became apparent from the first visit, about 6 or 7 years ago, and the quality of service has been consistent on every visit. In fact, only after a couple of visits I decided to bring my kid and my wife over as well, and we're all happy.

I need a lot of dental work. My teeth aren't in great shape, but part of the problem is because I've had a number of horrible dentists in the past, who have ruined a few of my teeth and root canals.

Dr. Warshaw is not at all aggressive in his approach. He doesn't take a lot of X-rays, he answers every single one of my numerous questions and elaborates on all the details, and whenever possible he gives me options. I like when doctors and dentists explain things, then let me make my own decision on which treatment option to take. He of course gives me a recommendation, but I decide what's going to be done.

Furthermore, there's been two occasions when he said he recommended specialists to do the job, because those were better equipped and trained to do those specific jobs. A recent one was a fix of an old root canal that was done poorly over 15 years ago by a dentist who never told me that root canals are better handled by orthodontists. The other job was a wisdom tooth extraction. In both cases I was very impressed with the specialists he sent me to.

My kid who is now 6.5 has been going there since he was a toddler and loves Dr. Pollack, whom I would also recommend as a pediatric dentist. My kid only goes there for a cleaning every 6 months, so I really can't say how Dr. Pollack handles any serious dental work any kids might need, but for every visit we've had Dr. Pollack has been very pleasant and professional.

Last but not least, the staff is...

I visited Dr. Andrew Warshaw on December 18, 2021. I was having strong pain in my upper left gum. My dentist had just retired, but I had used Dr. Warshaw many years back. I called him on the 17th and he was able to slot me in on the very next day. I was concerned about the pain in my gum fearing that I had the beginning of some serious gum problem. On the way to his office, my wife suggested that I might have herpes. I thought that it might have been a canker sore or a burn akin to what sometimes happens when you have pizza. Dr, Warshaw examined me, took X-rays and a photograph of my upper palate. He said that he thought that I had shingles. He said that the giveaway was that the sores were on one side of the mouth and they were configured similarly to the pattern that shingles has. I was astounded. I never thought that shingles was the cause of the pain. Dr. Warshaw said that he had seen shingles of the mouth rarely, possibly 4 times in his practice. He gave me a prescription for an anti-viral which is only effective for the first few days of shingles. His diagnosis was quite amazing. My previous dentist had never encountered shingles of the mouth. The neurologist I went to see had never seen shingles of the palate before. I have just finished the dosage of the anti-viral drug but feel grateful that there is a good possibility that the medication was taken on the sooner side because of the astute diagnosis of...

I swear, every family in Park Slope knows Dr. Warshaw, his wife and colleague, and his friendly, efficient and super skilled crew. As a man with bad teeth genes, I have been a ‘frequent flyer’ at their office and have arrived in all kinds of conditions ranging from a simple cleaning to hysteria over broken teeth. They have always accommodated me, calmed me, put me back together again and sent me off smiling. Debra, office manager, has especially worked with me on billing and recommended my current insurance. Toniann, always finds time to schedule me in and accommodate my often wonky work schedule. My son and daughter in law, both dentistry skeptics, rave about their treatment at PSFD. The office staff are all very proactive and knowledge about dental hygiene and I consistently feel cared for and about. Honestly, like...
