I recently had to have a bad tooth extracted, and Dr. Wong made the entire experience remarkably positive. From start to finish, she handled the procedure with incredible care, gentleness, and precision. I especially appreciated how she continually checked in on my comfort and took the time to calm my nerves...

I had the best Dental experience with Nicholas Ruhrkraut, DDS at Soho Dental Group. He was kind professional and meticulous. The office is beautiful as well. I could not recommend him or Soho dental group more!

I visited SoHo Dental today for a filling. Everyone here is friendly and professional. Dr. Islam is amazing - she took the time to explain the treatment plan, which really helped me ease my nerves. I was especially impressed with how gently she administered the anesthesia. The procedure was smooth and painless, and my tooth looks and feels great. Highly recommended!
