Why people love Tend
Alex M.
Williamsburg Studio
My hygienist...was extremely friendly and very thorough. She talked through everything she was doing-- best cleaning I've had in a while. Dentist asked a lot of questions and though I didn't have any major issues I felt she was a good listener and would be happy to go back here if I had any dental issues.

[My hygienists was] amazing. I used to have bad experience[s] with dental cleaning[s] due to some level of pain. But [she] handled it with extreme care.

For the entire team (front desk, hygienist, doctor) to take the time to explain every little bit and confirm with me at every sign post if I had any questions went a long way. I appreciate their humility with which they approached their profession that enabled me to understand my health more.
Janet R.
Wall Street Studio
The doctors are highly competent and compassionate as are all the assistants and hygienists that I’ve been lucky enough to meet. Really, it’s that good!
Jason
Flatiron Studio
The best part was definitely the cleaning process, where my dental hygienist...was able to remove all the build-up on my teeth that had accumulated over a long period of time meanwhile minimizing the pain. She was so friendly and took the time to clearly explain the results of her examination...She was all-around skilled and professional and so kind.

WOW! You guys. I can't say enough positive things about this dentist office. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with a smile. Every staff member was fantastic...Fantastic place. I'd give it ten stars if i could.

From start to finish, I was given fantastic care from the dental team. Everything was explained during each process. This first cleaning I received in 5 years that was not painful. I appreciate that the most.

I am never leaving Tend. They make you feel comfortable, heard, and I’ve never had such a great experience at a dental office. I had 2 cavities filled and didn’t feel even feel a pinch when given the novocaine. 5 stars to the entire staff 😁
Maryana S.
Wall Street Studio
Had to make a same day emergency appointment due to shooting pains in my teeth. The dentist and the entire staff, from check in to x rays, were understanding, empathetic, and really made me feel that they wanted me to get better quickly. I'm very grateful for the excellent service and calming environment!

All of the dental hygienists & dentists were genuinely good people & workers there at Tend Chelsea. They told me what’s covered by my insurance ahead of time & they let me know what was wrong with my teeth if there was anything wrong with them. The teeth cleaning was thorough & efficient.

My hygienist...was sooooo awesome and sweet! Loved the attention and care that went into this visit. She was very attentive to my concerns and eased any anxiety I had!
Raymond C.
Williamsburg Studio
[My hygienist] really cared about my teeth and took the extra mile to properly clean it, take pictures, explain to them, answer my questions, and give me suggestions. I would usually be at the dentist for about 20-40 minutes at most, but I spent over an hour with her, and honestly, I think she did a 5-star job.

Just got a new implant and crowns done on my front teeth and I couldn't be happier with the result. They look great! I feel fortunate to have had this team with me through the whole process. Would recommend to anyone looking for high quality dental care combined with concierge service.
