Dr. Raymond Cho (Meridian Dental Group) is the best dentist on earth on all counts: skills, knowledge, sensitivity, personal care, focus, patience with questions, willingness to listen and explore options optimal to the patient, and on and on.
I met Dr. Cho when I was under extreme pain and after two other dentists couldn't see anything wrong. After that, I will folllow this doc where possible. My husband has become his patient too (and he is picky!). Dr. Cho explains things, explores options with you, gives you all alternatives and possible budgets, lays out a program for present and long-term care, pays sincere attention (i dare you to say the same of your dentist!), runs a fantastic modern (spa-like)clinic with his very nice wife and staff, always mindful of your concerns and comfort... what else can I say? He is the best. He explains like a professor (told him he should teach), and converses like a real, intelligent human being (not a distant automaton in white that many dentists seem to have become).
If you're in New York, you really must see Dr. Cho. Your search should stop right here.
