Dr. Hecht is an amazing dentist. He was able to save a few of my teeth and help me to avoid a root canal due to his extreme skill and patience. In addition, he is extremely down-to-earth, funny, and has an amazing bedside manner which helps put you at ease. His office is equipped with cutting edge equipment including video screens with picture-taking abilities, as well.

I felt no discomfort at all, as he is extremely adept in various anesthetic techniques. Additionally, his office staff is extremely courteous, professional, and accommodating. I know I am always in the best of hands with Dr. Hecht! Thank you so much!

As a retired dentist I can appreciate the quality of work that was done in my mouth at Dr. Hecht's office. The hygienist was superb. Her technique was excellent, her professionalism was very exceptional. Dr. Hecht restored my mouth with extreme dental expertise. The procedures were painless and the results superb. I highly recommend this office for dental treatment.

I found Staten Island Dental Care on Google and I am sooo glad I did! I really enjoyed my overall visit at SIDC. Dr. Hecht and his staff made me feel very comfortable and relaxed during my procedure! I definitely will continue going to SIDC for my dental care. I highly recommend Dr. Hecht's office to shy and anxious people such as myself. 10/10.

Hands down the best dentist office I've ever been to. From the second you walk in, you are greeted and checked in by the sweet ladies at the desk. I've been coming here a little over a year now and refuse to go anywhere else. I originally came for an emergency cavity filling that was the most painful experience of my life. Dr. Hect was super informative, calm and humorous.

He made me feel very comfortable and did an amazing job. I now see his dental hygienist Gina every checkup and she's a ball of sunshine. Super sweet and just as informative. I leave this office feeling satisfied and well taken care of every time.

I recently went to Staten Island Dental Care for preventive care. I met Lauren for the first time. She was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and gentle but thorough when she cleaned my teeth. If you want to keep your teeth in your mouth for your entire life, then see Lauren or Gina. Both are excellent hygienists. - Martin Gellerman

I would definitely go to this dentist again. Dr. Hecht made the experience go smoothly and the dental care team was great. Smoothest wisdom tooth extraction I've ever had.

I had a cleaning with Gina today and she was so gentle. The service here is great! They make you feel at home. Dr Hecht also did some fillings today and I felt no pain! I come from New Jersey and the drive is worth it.

Amazing! I had my front teeth bonded by Dr. Hecht after i had an accident. What could have been an upsetting experience was absolutely stress free with Angie, Alexa and Ro by my side. My teeth look as good as new thanks to Dr. Hecht. He is the only person I would trust with my smile, his experience and technique is worth the world.

I have been a patient of Dr. Hecht for many years. I actually enjoy visiting his office. He has the most caring and welcoming staff. The quality of his care is truly magical and most of all pain free. He is a perfectionist!

I am deathly terrified of the dentist but Dr. Hecht is by far the most caring dentist I have ever been to. He and his staff truly care about the well being of their patients to the point where they personally send a hand written thank you card or Hecht himself will send a thank you letter. The very first time meeting him I had a very infected abscess in one of my molars.

He offered solutions, I was put to sleep with calming music and when I woke my boyfriend and his nurse were escorting me to the car complete with aftercare instructions and pain medications. I truly can not have asked for a better experience. I keep coming here and honestly they just treat you like family! He also owns two dogs that if you're lucky you'll get to meet them. 100/10 would recommend

S I am soooo. grateful I finally settled my search and I am very happy to have found Dr. Hecht from Staten Island Dental Care. Thank you, SIDC.

I was very nervous going for my cleaning today because I would be seeing a new hygienist. My regular hygienist had to retire and she was wonderful. Since I am really uncomfortable going to the dentist it usually takes me some time to trust a new person. Today Lauren cleaned my teeth, she was extremely patient, walked me through every step, told me exactly what she was going to do next.

It was an excellent experience I had nothing to worry about and there is no question I will continue to have Lauren work on my teeth. Thank you Lauren! And thank you Dr. Hecht for always putting your patients first and finding the best people to work in your practice.

I just had another excellent experience at Staten Island Dental Care. I've had 3 hygienists there over the past 10 years and every cleaning is as gentle as the last. This week Gina took special care to explain what she was doing and make sure I was comfortable. My teeth look and feel fabulous! Their Covid precautions are top notch; I felt safe and secure. Thank you, Staten Island Dental Care, you are the best!

Another great experience with Dr. Hecht! He and his wonderful staff made this sedation experience wonderful for my anxiety ridden daughter. We chose to do sedation for her root canal, but even for her regular workup without sedation he manages to keep her pain free, and relaxed with his patient demeanor which is no easy task believe me! This man has the patience of a saint! Thank you again, Dr. Fred!

Thank you so much for the popcorn! That was the best surprise! Perfect for a Nonna with grandchildren! When it came I had 3 of them at the house and they asked what it was? I told them to open and see. Wow! Were they excited! As you can see in the pic! Have use for the pretty tin too!

I was in excruciating pain & petrified of going to the dentist but he is the most gentlest giant ever. The staff is wonderful and I am so glad, I returned back to Dr. Hecht after relocating back to NY. He was my Dentist 25 years ago & will be my Dentist forever. Thank you

Dr. Hecht and his staff were excellent. He performed painless extractions and gum surgery without a hitch. They follow up and really care about their patients. I am very satisfied.

Going to the dentist isn't everyone's idea of a good time, but Dr. Hecht and his staff sure do make it their business that every patient is made to feel at ease. From snacks and drinks, tv's and music, everything is considered to make the experience more enjoyable. Dr. Hecht is good for laughs as well. I recently had a tooth filled, without meds, I had zero pain and it was over in 10 minutes. It literally took longer to fill out the paperwork. I highly recommend Dr. Hecht and his wonderful staff.
