I went to see Dr. Raymond Cho at East 37th because of extreme pain that my old dentist failed to address (even after three visits under excruciating pain!). Dr. Cho diagnosed the problem accurately and did something about it right there and then. He probably saved not only my tooth but also my life (it turned out I had some kind of infection resulting probably from a terrible dental work by the old dentist -- no Dr. Cho did not say that, that's my conclusion; but could just imagine if that infection went up my brain or went down my heart?!). He did an emergency pain procedure, and got me on a program addressing other issues that I understood and followed with glee. He explains everything, works out approaches with you, treats you as intelligent human and involved party (it is your head afterall), makes sure you are comfortable and not feeling pain, etc. He is very very smart, young but very professional and very focused, very engaged, gentle (and a gentleman), and everything you would wish your doctor (all doctors) to be. I will follow this Doctor wherever his practice takes him (well, so long as it's not outside of NYC! I hope he does not leave NYC!). The clinic is rather pricey, but it matters less than your health and life.
