Steven M Alper DMD

I've been seeing Dr. Alper for about 3 years. Everyone is attentive, polite and well spoken. I am seen on time, and I appreciate that Alper and his staff respect my time. He never did any fillings on me, but every time I go, he looks very hard for them with his microscope glasses. My girlfriend had a filling and she said it was painless. Sarah, the hygienist is super thorough, and very sweet. I highly recommend this dental office. Its a sleek and casual yet professional; It makes you forget you are at the dentist. more

Visited Dr Alper's office as he was recommended by a friend and I was really impressed! more

Dr. Alper has been my dentist for a couple of years. His practice is very relaxed and welcoming. The hygienist, Sarah does an great job. She is detailed, efficient and gentle. more

No one loves going to the dentist - especially not me. But Dr. Alper has made it a pretty good experience. The staff is smart and customer-service oriented. As long as I have been going there, he was always on time... something I cant say for any of my other doctors. As others noted, Sarah (the hygienist) is thorough. Dr. Alper is also thorough in his exam and was painless when filling cavities. I definitely recommend this office to my friends and colleagues. I also appreciate his and his staff's casual professionalism. The office is very clean and well designed, and I would bet its the only dentist office with a Jacob Kassay on the walls, among some other very interesting pieces of art - the only doctors office where I wouldn't mind waiting in the reception. I think Dr. Alper and his staff deserve much credit for making visits to the dentist almost pleasurable. more

I was advised to see Dr. Alper after a friend had recommended me to him. After months of seeing a periodontist, my problem was fixed with one visit to Dr. Alper's office. Not only did I save money I was treated with the utmost care and respect from his efficient and friendly team. Sarah and Patrick put me at ease while communicating with me every step they were taking. I couldn't have had a more pleasurable experience. I advise anyone who likes efficiency and professionalism to schedule an appointment with Dr. Alper and his team. more

Hi- I went to Dr Alper for years- the last time I felt curious to the outcome of my appt. He said I needed a procedure done that would cost me, after insurance- $1300. He said that if I did not get this done, then it would just cost me more in the long run. I was hesitant, said I would call back to make an appt. In the lag time I made an appt at my boyfriend?s dentist. They had ZERO records from Dr Alper and just gave me a typical check-up and GUESS WHAT- my teeth were perfect. The doctor said he hasn?t seen a healthy mouth like mine in years!!! DR ALPER IS A RIP OFF!!!!!!!! It makes me wonder if he has been ripping me off for the entire time- I bet! more

I had to see Dr. Alper for another major tooth problem this week and, once again, I walked away amazed. Dr. Alper and his staff use the latest in proven technology in almost every aspect of their operation. It's amazing to experience: almost no discomfort, extremely efficient and exquisite results. more

I have gone to Dr. Alpers for a few years. Today I had my 3rd filling with him. He used this machine that got my tooth totally numb without a needle. He said there was a needle, but I didn't see one, and I didn't feel one. The best thing (other than no needle) was that my whole face wasn't numb for hours after. Anyway the office staff is super nice, and the dental hygienist is really nice and good. I also like that I am seen at my appointment time. Everything is so organized and efficient - like a Swiss watch. I think its a little more than other dentist, if you are busy and dont like needles hes a really good dentist. Pros: Novocaine without needles Cons: Co-pay in addition to my insurance. more

My husband and I both see Dr. Alper. His office is always running on-time, which means we don?t have to sit in the waiting room forever, nor do we have to sit in the chair waiting either. Everything he has done on my husband looks great. I haven?t had any dental work myself. My husband says that everything feels great too. The quality of his work is excellent. The office is very efficient, clean and friendly. I always recommend him to my friends. It?s more expensive, but definitely worth it. Pros: Excellent work, On-time, Nice Staff. Cons: Expensive. Fee for same day cancellation. more

I came across Dr. Alper in a magazine, I was looking for a new dentst and found what I saw appealing so I went. I had been referred to several dentists in the city by friends and they all turned out to be disasters! The second I walked into his office I knew this was it: a modern setting, Heather behind the desk (is amazing!) and efficiency all around. On the down side the hygenist I had a year ago was a bit gruff and the cleaning less than par BUT the hygenist I had in April 2007 was one of the best I have had in New York in 12 years. Pros: Chair side manner more

I like Dr. Alper and his staff. I think that he does a great job every time. I have gone there for a few years now. He is quiet, and seems like he is always concentrating on the task at hand (literaly his hand when he is working on my teeth). I can see why some people think he is not so warm, but I'd rather take a quite deliberate concentrating dentist drilling my teeth than one chatting all the time... Seriously who cares about the dentists golf game. Anyway I have always been pleased with his work, especially the work that he redid for me. I had one crown that another dentist did years ago and never felt good. Dr Alper replaced it and it is so comfortable, I dont even think about it anymore... thats why I go there. The hygieneist (sp?) is really good. I feel like they really have the health of my teeth, and the look of my smile as their top priority. Im almost always seen on time, which is too bad because its the only dentist office Ive ever gone to with good magazines in the waiting room. LOL. I think the people that wrote negative reviews were probably looking for something other than the best dental care when they go to the dentist. Pros: Professional yet relaxed atmosphere. Great dental work. Super thorough cleanings. Cons: Expensive more

Went to Dr. Alper for a cleaning... the procedure was blah, not very thorough and his technique was not patient friendly... but what really irked me was his attitude. He was unfriendly and a bit on the rude side. When I asked him questions, he replied quite curtly. The receptionist is also quite pushy... thrusting a bunch of business cards to pass along to my friends without even asking how my visit went. Overall, I left very disappointed, teeth that didn't feel clean and would recommend you to go elsewhere. Pros: website Cons: unfriendly and rude manners, pushy receptionist, poor technique more

I just had my first checkup and cleaning today. One of, if not the best dentist ever. very comfortable modern loft like interior. Everything is super clean and modern. The staff is super outgoing and freindly. Dr Alper was very imformative and didn't make me feel rushed. Susan was the best hygienist ever! I got the referrel from Citysearch, and it worked out better than I could have hoped. This dentist is very thorough. He pointed out very small cavities that my last dentist didn't even mention . very thorough. Pros: friendly staff. Informative Doctor. Union Square location. baking soda cleaning. "very thorough"...pro or con? Cons: I've heard it's expensive, but I havn't seen for myself. "very thorough"...pro or con? more

My visits to Dr. Alpers office have always been very pleasant (in as much as a visit to the dentist can be!). I first went to him to have a consult about a cosmetic procedure. He recommended a less expensive option and was able to tell me why he thought it would be better in my case. The other dentists I consulted with were ready to start drilling without even discussing any options. His staff is terrific; polite, pleasant, and informative. Sarah the hygeinist cleaned my teeth and did a very thorough job, I like the baking soda sandblast polish. Im very happy to have found this dentist. The office fab too. Pros: Professionalism, Demeanor, Knowledgable Cons: Fees more

My dental visit to Dr. Alper was below mediocre. Starting off with the facility, he attempted to create an industrial modern look, but it simply appeared stark and cold. These adjectives could easily describe Dr. Alper. His dismeanor was of disinterest and coldness. The cleaning was quite below average and painful. He made no attempts to make me feel comfortable. I felt that he just wanted me out of there ASAP to get to his next patienet (i.e. $ check). I was quite displeased with the overall experience and regretted going to him. Cons: Technique, Bedside Manner more

Dr. Alper is nice, gentle and a great dentist. If you are looking for a high quality denitst, that is calm, nice, thorough than just go to him. He is not cheap, but you get what you pay for as they say. Pros: High Quality, Gentle, Casual Cons: Price more

Like many people, I had a fear of Dentist, so tensions were high when I first went to see Dr. Alper. All of that has since changed. From the moment I stepped into the office i was greeted warmly by his receptionist, Heather, and offered bottle water. The office was cool, sleek and inviting. Dr. Alper was amazing; no pain with needles, his office is state of the art. He solved my challenging cavitiy problem with his very own technique and avoided me having a root canal. He put me at ease from the very first moment we spoke. Since then I have had my teeth whitetened, and cleaned and I have recommended highly to all of my friends. In short this guy is the real deal and he is a must see. And on a side note if it matter to any of you out there he is gorgeous! Pros: Painless, Insightful, Very professional more

I have seen Dr Alper for more than 3 cleanings and other procedures, but reading the reviews below I wonder if I am more sensitive than most. Pros: Professional, State of the art, Convenient Cons: , Formal more

Other reviews are on point. I was seen on time, and not kept in the dental chair. Gentle, thorough and expedient. Let me also add that it is clear this guy likes what the does and his patients/clients benefit. Not cheap but not outrageous either. Definitely worth a visit. Receptionis is very helpful regarding insurance questions. Pros: Thorough, Gentle, Expedient more

Dr. Alper was highly recommended by a friend so I decided to give him a try. Not only was I amazed by the beauty of his office, but surprised by his novel techniques that made my teeth feel new again. Make sure to ask for the crystal clean, its a blast! Pros: friendly, professional, clean more
