Amanda N Amed, DDS

I really do not like review sites all that much — this is my first ever Unilocal review for that matter. I felt compelled to write this one because I’m not sure how I could avoid it any longer. I have been a patient of Dr. Amed’s for a number of years now. I have had a multitude of problems with teeth — and if I listened to every other dentist out there, I would have probably lost a bunch of teeth by now and implanted fake ones at exorbitant cost. Thank God I saw this wonderful woman, dentist, consummate professional, listener, caring, compassionate, and a truly honest dentist. Care not money — health not wealth, and personal attention to well being at the cost of nothing. I don’t know how to say it, but she cared about me and my teeth, not about the money that she makes or will make, or how quickly she might finish with me or anything else. She cares about my health and spent the time talking and explaining. When I make an appointment with her, I see HER and have access to HER. She has always cleaned my teeth herself — never once has she sent me off to a hygienist. I am eternally grateful to you Dr. Amed — and I hope that this review maybe shows 5% of a glimpse of how truly wonderful you are. You are what dentistry once was, and no longer is. Your office is beautiful, but your kindness, competence, and compassion are celestial. When we first started, my teeth were diseased, crooked, and in pain. I am now disease free, the teeth are now straight and I need nothing more than routine care. My dentist is the reason for the state of my oral health.

Let me tell you. I have waited my whole adult life to find a dentist that’s not only good but also LISTENS! She is better than good… she is phenomenal. I trust her completely! This is the most pain free my mouth has been in what seems like FOREVER! I forget I have a mouth THAT’s how free I am.

I hate dentists and I have hated them all my life because I’ve always experienced pain. I went to Dr. Amed from a coworker’s recommendation and I have been with her since 2012. She is so gentle, attentive and always gives a personal touch. I have had many many terrible experiences in the past and even the sound of any dental equipment causes pain in my mouth/​teeth. From day one she made sure I was comfortable and I feel that she sets her equipment in a setting that is not bothersome. I have had issues in the past that I do not take well to anesthetics and she indicated I have difficult nerves and used a alternative anesthetic. With that she fixed a cracked tooth that was infected and I felt no pain and felt occasional pressure. This was in 2012 and three years later I do not have any problems.
Another great plus is that she has late hours and I LOVE that because I don’t need to take time off my 9 – 5 job. She is right off the F train. I can say when she was at the other location it was a bit hectic. She is on her own now and it is one to one service.
The office has a new location and it is on 57 West 57^th st on the 12^th floor. Her new office is so beautiful and kept in impeccable conditions. She has coffee, tea and some small goodies (sugar free of course). I go every 6 months for my cleaning and haven’t failed to go. I give her a top rating of 10 and I 100% recommend her.

Shady billing practice alert. Someone I work with recommended Dr. Amed so I call to make an appointment for a routine cleaning. The person answering the phone immediately asked for my date of birth and SSN. With my insurance this is not necessary, I have a group number and that is all that is needed to inquire about coverage and make claims. I explained to the person on the phone that I was not comfortable giving such information in this time of such serious identity theft problems. Afterall, with a SSN and a date of birth you can easily open a credit card or apply for a loan and destroy someone’s credit. The person insisted and would not schedule an appointment without this information. This was despite the fact that I explained that my insurance can be accessed with a group number. «We want to review your history» is what the person said on the phone. What does that mean? My credit history? I just wanted a cleaning.
A very frustrating conversation and clearly Dr. Amed’s office is out of touch with good business practice. A potential customer with good insurance was just lost.

Dr. Amed is an amazing dentist! She makes a dreaded dentist visit a delight, and helps you to forget the drills and the scrapes inside your mouth. Would 100% recommend her.

Dr. Amed is awesome. She will personally take time to answer any and all questions. She is fair and honest with her assessments. She will make time (earlier or later) for appointments.
She will also take the time to get to know you, something difficult to find in other dentist or doctor’s offices around NYC.
Need a dentist, go to Dr. Amed!

I LOVE Dr Amed! My fiancé has been a patient of hers for a few years and I finally made the switch and do not regret it at all! She is so friendly, sweet and very gentle. You get to chose what flavor for your cleaning and they always have a great assortment. While she’s thorough, I’ve never bled or been uncomfortable at all! She has crazy flexible hours and even does her scheduling herself. I highly recommend her!

very intelligent and skilled dentist. she’s well versed in new technologies and methods, with fantastic interpersonal skills.

Dr. Amed is the best! She is amazingly professional, friendly and caring. I really like that she handles all the procedures including cleaning, which is most times handed off to a junior person. She even picks up the phone herself sometimes when booking appointments! Even though my office has moved a few blocks away from her office, I still make the longer trip to her twice a year. Highly recommended!

Friendly, accommodating, and a good dentist! Easy to get in touch with, responsive, and actually makes going to the dentist somewhat enjoyable!

Dr. Amed is amazing. I’ve never looked forward to visits with the dentist until I started going to her a couple years ago. She’s gentle, friendly and very accomodating. One night I was in her office until 10pm getting some cavities filled. She is always willing to work with my schedule. And her amazingness doesn’t stop when office hours end. I was in the process of scheduling a root canal with a specialist and the pain was unbearable. I left a message for Dr. Amed on a Saturday, hoping that I’d hear back first thing Monday. She called me back a few minutes later AND dropped off a prescription at my pharmacy ON HER DAY OFF! She goes above and beyond for her patients. I’ve sent so many friends to her and they all love her.

Dr. Amed is great! She’s very friendly and gentle with your teethers. The scrape (which is usually the worst part, and ends in a battle-​ground type scene) is painless and she doesn’t miss and hit your gums.
She’s quick and works crazy hours to fit your schedule! I had to reschedule on short notice and she stayed late and saw me at 8:30. She’s willing to help you out, and talks to you in plain English and gives her honest opinion rather than some quoted line out of a medical journal. Would def recommend to my friends.
