I've stayed away from the dentist for years out of fear. Dr. Riordan and ALL the staff here are incredible. VERY knowledgeable and also very patient and kind. I've always been slow to respond to novocaine and they waited and waited and waited for it to kick in before my deep clean, and then gave me more to make sure I was very comfortable. Couldn't be happier with them!

Reviews
Patience, kindness, and genuine care were extended to me in abundance during my first visit to Harlem Dental Associates. I came in with a dental emergency, and the team went above and beyond by staying late to make sure I received the care and attention I needed.
I’ve found Harlem Dental to be a very inviting practice. I feel at home here, and identifiable - much more so than a clinic environment. The specialists they’ve sent me to have been equally welcoming and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them.
