It has been very difficult to find a dentist that I trust in the city. Dr. Rodriguez was recommended to me by a friend and I will never go to anyone else. She's very talented, so kind and gentle. She genuinely cares about her patients. The staff is also incredible everyone at Park South Dentistry is always helpful and accommodating.

Very disappointed I came here , I was misinformed by one of the receptionist about what my insurance coverage so I wasn't even able to get the extraction I need. After getting X-rays I was asked if I wanted a cleaning because "my insurance covers two cleanings" so I was told by the doctor who did my cleaning so of course I said sure because I was under the impression that my insurance covered it. After I was done I had to sit down with the insurance person to speak about how much my extraction would be and she started by giving me a break down of all these other work apparently I need for my teeth and how much my insurance would cover and how much I would pay out of pocket, I then told her my biggest concern is the one tooth I know I need extracted and everything else wasn't my biggest concern at the moment she then tells me my insurance doesn't cover extractions at all and I would have to pay for that out of pocket ($800) so I told her the I was misinformed by one of the receptionist because I was told that my insurance does cover the extraction MY ONLY REASON FOR COMING THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE and she didn't really seem to acknowledge that at all so I told her I can't afford that and I wasn't interested now two weeks later they're trying to bill me for almost $700 for them taking X-rays, and a cleaning ! I had to call my insurance and make a dispute because I'm definitely not paying them because they're staff is incapable of giving out the right information I would've never came here if I knew they were going to charge me all this money for them to have not helped me with anything highly disappointed cause I could've went to my regular dentist for X-rays and a cleaning all I wanted was an extraction that I was told my insurance would cover.

This is by far the friendliest and best-run dentist office I have been to in the city. The receptionist is efficient and extremely friendly. My hygienist was Carole and she made me feel very comfortable. A true professional! The dentist I saw was Marina Rodriguez, who was extremely thorough and informative in her explanation of my treatment. Everyone seems like they genuinely enjoy working there, which feeds into the patient experience. Cannot recommend them more!

Great visit start to finish. Friendly reception. Great hygienist. Dentist was efficient answered my questions and offered treatment recommendations. They did not shame me for waiting to long to visit and they did not make up any unnecessary problems so they could treat them. Last visit even better. Great practice.

THIS PLACE IS A SCAM. They told me I had 4 cavities and I got a second opinion from my dentist back home, did X Rays and NOT ONE WAS A CAVITY. Just clearly trying to pay NYC rent. Not to mention he was so rude almost making fun of me for having "so many cavities" which was a lie. Thank god I got a second opinion. He also did the same thing to my friend and almost forced her to get an unnecessary root canal. NEVER GO HERE

Ive now been here about 6 times. It's a great place. The hygienist Olga, was great- she spent a lot of time with me and did an awesome job cleaning my teeth for a basic cleaning and then gum treatments. My teeth felt great and were bright white. She seemed experienced, smart and kind. The dentist Dr Rodrigues is amazing- she really makes sure that everything is correct and feels okay before you leave the chair. I had no pain with any of my procedures including fillings and a crown. Never had issues after either. She's a very skilled dentist. They also adjusted my appointments for my travel which I appreciated. The office is on time and consistent. Also they take my Deltacare HMO dental insurance which I appreciate because otherwise it would be very expensive.
