General Dentists - Stony Brook, NY

"Was not happy with results, walked in because of a recommendation. Dr. Borkes did the exam and i went with the recommendations. when it was time to have the teeth bonded in place the office said she was no longer there in the Lake Grove office, so they sent me to another location (Centereach dental 365) to have the teeth bonded in place, no follow up offered. The one tooth was replaced because it was to large, yet the replacement is no smaller? When i set an appointment to have them looked at ,Dr. Branca said Borkes did not leave any notes! yet the work that was done was to set my mouth up for a partial Upper & Lower Dr Branca said, well you don't really want to get a partial? why did I spend over 3K to replaced crowns then? They (dental 365) cancelled my appointment for a 6 month cleaning without notifying me. very Strange indeed!! a total waste of my time and money for sure!"

"Dr. Damaskos is a great guy and a great emergency dentist. His billing practices, however, are questionable at best. It took nearly 2 months to get a biling statement for our FSA. I don't mean that the FSA was exceedingly particular either. I mean we couldn't get a bill with the names, dates, and costs of the procedures. I could have made one in Microsoft Word in 10 minutes if I had all of the information. We also had to submit our own claim to our insurance for his reimbursement. We were charged appropriately at the time but he never submitted a claim for the procedures to our insurance company, which I believe would have meant we were on the hook for the costs. It's a shame, really. He and his wife are very nice people and he is exceptionally good at emergency care. If we were cash patients we may consider sticking with him, but his billing practices are simply unacceptable for a health care provider."

"Dentist is polite and welcoming. My teeth were in horrible condition when I first visited the office and felt insecure about them. I did not feel judged and was confident I could get my smile back. The dentist has gone above and beyond in treatment and am always well taken care of. Great dentist. Been to many. Has great attitude and am always excited to go back."
