After being to many dentists over the years, I can honestly say that Midtown Dental is very likely one of the top dentistry practices in the country. The entire staff is extremely professional with impeccable manners and attention to detail. The office is beautifully decorated and all the equipment and medical devices used are advanced, state of the art in every way.
Dr. Apekian is an amazing dentist!! Top notch education with a gentle touch. Her office is state of the art technology and all the staff have been the best. I am a RN and understand how hard this is to accomplish. Did I mention I am terrified of dentists!! I had a near drowning incident as a child and have associated dental visits with that.. so when I say I am so grateful to have found Dr Apekian, I truly mean it.
Dr. Apekian has been my dentist for a little over 2 years. This is the best dentist I have ever been too. The staff is friendly and always helpful. I used to have anxiety about the dentist but not anymore. They put you at ease and make sure you are always okay.
