I’ve been going to Dentistry by Design for years for cleanings and the occasional filling, and I truly cannot say enough good things about them. Dr. Brett is amazing, and the entire staff is always so warm and welcoming. My dental hygienist is wonderful, and every visit feels comfortable and easy.

They really treat you like family and always go out of their way to help. If you ever need to be fit in, they do their best to accommodate you. Billing is also straightforward and easy, which makes the whole experience even better. I highly recommend Dentistry by Design to anyone looking for a dental office that is caring, professional, and genuinely patient-focused.

I will be referring everyone I know to this clinic! I wish I could leave 10 more reviews just like this. 100/5 stars for this family owned/operated practice!!!!

Jodi D.

My wife Pam and I (and family) have gone to Dentistry by Design for over three decades. We have received World-Class care, to which we are extremely grateful. Dr. Bret Gilsdorf and his team are not only the best at actual dentistry, they are just great people through and through. So very kind and caring, treating all their patients like family. If we could give Dr. Bret six stars we would, but the five-star rating is as high as Google goes!

I have been a patient here for several years and my appointment today was the best I have ever had! The time they took to explain each step, to check in that I was okay, and to make sure at the end that I had no questions meant the world to me. They have rebuilt my confidence and alleviated my fears about going to the dentist! I always recommend them to anyone looking for dental care.

My experience today has been exceptional all the way from being greeted and checked in by the receptionist. The doctor and his assistant were very thorough and informative. I have never been treated with such care before and I have been treated for denture fittings 4 times this made the 4th and this by far is 10 out of 10 ratings no doubt. So if you’re looking for a dentist in the Manhattan area that will take care of your needs this office is it. Again thank you very much to the personnel at Dentistry by Design. See you in two weeks have an awesome weekend.

I had a wonderful experience at this dental office. I was nervous going into my procedure, but the team went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and at ease.

My two boys love going to the dentist! They go in happy and leave wanting to go back. One of them is autistic and I was concerned that he would have a hard time with people he doesn’t know touching him but they take great care of him. They explain every procedure to make him feel comfortable.
Thank you for providing such amazing service!!

This was not my first visit to Dentistry by Design. But my first review. The Hygienist was pleasant and well skilled. Explained everything. Then the doctor came in, it was a flashback to old school doctoral care. White coat, pleasant and knowledgeable. Shook my hand when he came in and when he left.

Destiny W.

Dr. Gilsdorf is one of the most competent and caring dentists I’ve ever visited. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and consistently maintains a gentle, kind, and compassionate demeanor every time I’m in for treatment. The front desk staff is always welcoming and helpful from the moment you walk through the door, and both the assistants and hygienists are highly skilled and thorough in their work.

The office itself is spotless, modern, and inviting, with beautifully landscaped views from many of the windows. I also appreciate the ceiling-mounted televisions, which make it easy to relax and take your mind off the dental work if needed.

I highly recommend this practice. I’ve been seeing Dr. Gilsdorf since he first arrived in Manhattan, and the quality of care has been outstanding from the very beginning.
Kristina P.

Staff was very helpful and pleasant. Answered all of my questions and concerns.

Aaron W.

Very great for my first time.
Jordyn Y.

I had a lot of dental work done here over 10 years ago. I had terrible teeth and was sure I would need them all pulled when I was 23 years old. They were able to save my teeth.

I have moved to a few different states, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas and back to Georgia. Everywhere I go, the new dentist always compliments the restorative work that I had done at this facility.

Worth every penny! Thank you!
Veronica C.

Taryn my hygienist and Dr. Gilsdorf were great! The both made me feel comfortable and explained what I needed in the way of dental care. They also told me I did not have periodontal disease. I was previously diagnosed by another dentist office with periodontal disease. That really made me feel good. Thank you Taryn and Dr. Gilsdorf!
Tom C.

Great staff. Hallie the hygienist was amazing.
Becky B.

Gosh, I truly cannot extend enough praise to the dental hygienist Hallie. I have extreme anxiety with dental offices as well as major tooth sensitivity. Hallie’s positive attitude and calm demeanor were immensely needed today! Truly, she could not have been any more kind, compassionate, professional, nonjudgmental, and patient with me. She listened, talked me through everything, was as gentle as she could be, and never rushed our visit despite the busy morning. And my teeth and gums look and feel cleaner and healthier than ever! Thank you so much, Hallie!!! You have no idea how grateful I am to have been in your chair. Dentistry by Design is so blessed to have her caring for patients!
Madison B.

I personally have not had any complaints with this dental office. Whenever my insurance clears my service I’m grateful for when I able to be seen. The staff has been nothing but nice and welcoming to me. Shannon or whichever is the last who calls to remind you of your appointment is a nice secretary. The Dentist is great also.

Amazing staff from the front desk to the back to the dentist to the hygienist. Everybody’s amazing there. They take care of their veterans and their families. They accept VA. I referred the dentist to anybody. They do an amazing job on my cleaning. They talk to me on my hiding, how I can improve my teeth and everything is worked out. I love this dentist.
James

I can’t say enough good things about my experience at Dentistry by Design. From the moment I scheduled my first appointment, I was incredibly nervous – even just making the appointment was a big step for me. I’ve always been self-conscious about my teeth, and a traumatic childhood experience left me with a deep fear of the dentist. I was once judged and discriminated against for the state of my teeth, so walking into a new office felt overwhelming.

But from the second I stepped in, the staff and dentists completely changed my perspective. They welcomed me with kindness, reassured me that my concerns were completely normal, and worked with me to create a treatment plan that would restore my smile. Their compassion and professionalism put my fears to rest, and for the first time in years, I feel confident enough to smile in photos again. And the best part? We’re not even done yet!

If you’re looking for a dental team that truly cares, look no further than Dentistry by Design. I can’t recommend them enough!
Jac

Amazing staff! Got my issues fixed right away!

“One of my favorite dentist to go to! I’ve only had one other favorite dentist and Dentistry by Design has become my new favorite. He is absolutely wonderful. The entire office is patient and kind.

I spent most of my time with my hygienist Courtney and she was absolutely wonderful. Very personable funny and informative. Made sure I understood everything that was going on. My biggest compliment is that they worked so well around my five month old daughter. Being a stay at home mom I have to bring her everywhere I go and they made that appointment very easy and fast for both of us. This was a wonderful office and a great first experience. I would recommend this place to everyone.”

“From the minute you walk in the front door, Dr. Gilsdorf and his team are so friendly and personable! I’ve been going to them for a few years now and I’ve never had a bad experience! They are always so welcoming and I can tell he and all of his team of staff genuinely care about my teeth and overall oral health because they walk me through what they find on my x-rays or if they are doing work to fix a tooth he’s so great at telling me what he’s doing as he’s fixing the tooth which helps to take away all of my anxiety! I’ve never had a bad hygienist here either, and I’ve seen a few different ones! I used to be scared of the dentist growing up but he and his team/staff have done amazing at changing that for me and I look forward to my appointments now!”
Madison S.

“The entire staff is amazing and the work they do is even better! I truly couldn’t ask for a better experience. I have been seeing Dentistry by Design for many years now and I’m so grateful for their professionalism and dedication. I came to them with needs of fillings, crowns, and an implant on top of my regular cleanings and each time they had a plan and showed so much compassion during a challenging time for me.

I get constant compliments on my smile at work and if I worked locally, I would be sending everyone to dentistry by design!

Now my husband and children go here and they are equally as happy with their services and care.

Dr. Gilsdorf is a true professional and his work is spectacular.

Courtney and Mario are both so fantastic.

Lauren and the front desk staff are on top of it. They have handled all my questions and insurance needs beautifully!

If you’re looking for a dentist in the Manhattan area, dentistry by design would be a wonderful choice.”

Dr.Bret recommend he get an NTI and after using it for a couple weeks his headaches stopped, and his jaw pain was minimal to almost gone. Best dentistry place in town by far!! Thank you to all the staff for making our dentistry experience amazing.”
Saige B.

“My cleaning with dentistry by design was the best dental experience I’ve ever had; starting with Vanessa at the front desk…very welcoming and thorough…then I was taken to the back for x-rays (I don’t remember the young lady’s name) very quickly took a lot of images to set up for the cleaning and exam. Amanda gave me an excellent cleaning then the doctor came in and gave me a run down of what I need to get done and Lauren insured that I was all set at the end. Top notch service!!!!!”
