Astoria Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, Rashmi Ambewadikar, DDS

Astoria Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, Rashmi Ambewadikar, DDS - Pediatric dentist in Astoria, NY
30-44 29th St #1D, Astoria, NY 11102

In our state of the art dental practice, we are committed to providing high quality, affordable dental care to each of our patients. Dr. Rashmi and her staff treat each child with compassion and patience in a child-friendly environment.

Dr. Jacob Eisdorfer is a dental anesthesiologist and has worked with Dr. Rashmi on numerous cases to provide safe and comfortable sedation services for dental-phobic children and children with special needs. When traditional dental therapy might be too traumatizing or impossible for your child, a single vaccine-like injection can allow him/her to be asleep so Dr. Rashmi can focus on high quality dental treatment completed in one visit.

Dr. Jacob provides sedation for patients in New York City and the tristate area. His training and work experience includes children and adults of all ages and backgrounds. He was raised in South Florida, speaks Spanish and Portuguese, and moved to New York to attend dental school at Columbia University and his anesthesia training at Lutheran Medical Center. With a family and young child himself, Dr. Jacob is grateful to be able to help children and parents who otherwise could not have had their dental needs met. (http://www.sleepytooth.com/)

One of the best dentist ever! Not only is she nice, she is super friendly and kind. She explains everything to her patients and engages with them before doing anything. My kids (all 3- 3yrs, 5yrs and 7rs) love her and always look forward to going to see her. Her office is very clean and the staff is friendly. Parking is easy around the area. They will call and text you reminders of your appointments.

7 Amazing Yrs w/ Astoria Smiles My children were 15 months old and 5 years old when we began our journey with Astoria Smiles. Dr. Rashmi, Lena, Emily, and the rest of the team are professional, engaging, and personable. These qualities are hard to come by anywhere! As a parent, I appreciate all their efforts to keep things going smoothly and to give the children a dental experience that they will cherish when they are older. Astoria Smiles is the best!

My children love going to the dentist and I do too (well, this one anyways). The front desk is helpful and kind, there's never a long wait to see the dentist, cleanings are thorough yet expedient. Also the pricing is reasonable. I've been to other pediatric dentists and sometimes you feel you are being pushed for things it's too early to consider - not with this office!

First of all I want to say I as mom was very very nervous about taking my son who is 2 years old for his very first visit to the dentist just the thought of it made me anxious. I was put on the waiting list for several months because of the COVID situation but it was totally worth the wait. When we got there everyone was so attentive, the place looked sparkly clean and full of nice decorations that made us feel welcomed and more relaxed. When we got inside of the office they had Netflix coco melon to distract our son. What I liked the most about this visit was that we were told what to expect during the process so it got us prepared for what was going to happen and how to react about it. His first clean lasted 2 minutes, did he cry? Yes he did but it was a short period of time and after that he got a toothbrush, some toys and a helium ballon on his favorite color which made him happy, it was like a birthday party with all the goodies. Doctor Rashmi was very gentle,,kind and clear to explaining the treatment that my son needed. Thank you for you professionalism and dedication

Dr.Rashmi is a wonderful Pediatric Dentist. She is exceptionally highly skilled, knowledgeable and thorough. She is warm, inviting and respectful to the children and parents. If any work needs to be done, she is gentle and nurturing. Our kids adore her! She has gained our children's trust and confidence from our very first visit. This is evident in how they respond to her during our visits. My children (ages 13, 10 and 6) have been her patients for 10 years. She goes above and beyond her duties as pediatric dentist. We are very fortunate and blessed to have found Dr.Rashmi. She has a great way of explaining to the children the importance of dental hygiene. Her expertise surpasses pediatric dentistry on all levels!! At every visit we leave knowing our little ones received quality care, from Dr.Rashmi her self, to the dental assistants, to the receptionist. Thank you Dr. Rashmi and staff we have been blessed to have found you!

It was my sons first dental appointment. He's almost 2. The office was busy but clean and kid friendly. My son was crying (he thought he was getting shots haha) but they had a tv inside the room and they put on Cocomelon for him, which calmed him down a bit. Staff were great. The doctor was nice and explained everything. Visit was super fast and he was happy about the balloon he got after.

Very great service. Amazing staff . Dr. is very thorough and takes time to explain everything in detail. My appointment was at 2pm and I reached there 1.55 . They took care of my kid rigthaway without wasting any time, even though I did not bring my paperwork prepared. They asked me to fill it while they look at my kid. They are very much cautious about cleanliness and sanitization which is much needed in this COVID situation. Definitely best clinic I came across in NYC.

They're simply amazing! The dentist and the staff are super friendly and they make it so much fun for each child...Each room of the clinic has a different fun theme, they let the child choose their prize at the end of the appointment, My daughter is obsessed of going there :D We have been going there since 2016, I used to take my daughter who has autism to a different Dental clinic before Astoria Smiles Pediatric for regular check ups and at age of 5 in 2016 she had a big cavity in her tooth and the old clinic told me they won't take a risk of filling it without full anesthesia due to her constant movement and i didn't know what to do then until i decided to try another place and it was Astoria Smiles Pediatric which was a bless, my daughter's first visit was like a welcoming visit and she got comfortable in the place and Dr Rashmi and the rest of the stuff sang for her and made her happy and comfortable and the following visit they did the same thing while Dr Rashmi just used the laughing gas and did the filling for my child like magic.. I even remember having an emergency on Christmas Eve due to swelling in her gum, Lina answered the phone and send the prescription to the pharmacy. Also, Dr Rashmi, gives time explaining the procedure to the parent and explaining it step by step to the child so they won't freak out. It's one of my daughter's favorite places ever, they even know what she likes as a prize and they prepare it for her before her visits, maintaining a child with a disability in a dental clinic is almost impossible. I can't say enough on this place. I'm just so thankful for such an amazing team who i really appreciate their efforts and patience on both me and my child :D

Dr. Rashmi and all her staff are the sweetest people you will ever encounter. We went to different pediatric dentists and eventually found her. My kids love her and we do as well. They are the nicest, most genuine people you will ever meet. She takes the time to explain to the kids what she will be using and her next steps. I think the kids appreciate that instead of being anxious. As a parent, she tells us what to do next and what to expect. Words cannot even express how much we love her and her staff. They make you feel so welcome!!
