Rise Dental Studio - Dr. Justin Rashbaum

Dr. Rashbaum is great. I was seeing a new dentist at a different practice and they were telling me I needed multiple fillings repaired. I went to Dr. Rashbaum for a second opinion given I had only ever had one filling before. He confirmed my suspicions and told me I did not need any new fillings or fillings repaired. He was helpful and in general had a great experience. Will be going to Rise Dental moving forward!

I have been seeing Dr. Rashbaum since around 2020, and had some crowns done. I think he is very careful, thorough, and a wonderful dentist. I also brought my elderly mom a few years ago, and he was terrific. My mom had a lot of problems with her teeth and gums, and another dentist said there was nothing he could do. Dr. Rashbaum took 3-D scans of all her teeth and showed me many serious problems with gums and teeth that should be addressed. I was persuaded, and mom’s gums and teeth are ok now. ** Special shoutout to Dr. Stein, who made pulling teeth far less painful for my mom, dental assistants who are attentive and careful, and another big shoutout to administrative staff who I think are very smart. They carefully answered all my questions about insurance, and they knew about other options I had not heard of, such as dental savings plan. Office is close to subways, easy to get to midtown, and clean, if a little space efficient.

It hurts to write a negative review, I never do, but it feels needed. I went in for a cleaning, and was told they also went and filled three cavities because "they were there and figured it was easier to just do" At the time I didn't think much of it because I agree, but realizing now how unprofessional it is to do without asking. I ended up paying much more than I expected going in because I was assuming a covered cleaning. I was also convinced that I needed an oral picturing, and overall was told "its now or never and will only get substantially worse" Turns out the pictures showed nothing and am perfectly fine. Overall did not help my trust issues with dentists.

I've seen Dr Rashbaum for the last 4-5 years and have had a great experience with him personally and all the members of the dental team and office staff. They really care about their patients and do very thorough and careful work. I would highly recommend Dr Rashbaum and Rise Dental Studio for all your dental needs!

I waited almost 45 minutes poast my appointment and no one updated me and then when I finally got in, Dr. Rashbaum seemed rushed and barely explained what was happening. The cleaning itself felt rushed and impersonal, communication would have made a huge difference.

I’m a dentist and used to practice in Manhattan, and Dr. Justin Rashbaum is the only dentist I refer to in the city. That should tell you something. Justin has strong integrity energy—he’s honest, conservative, informative, and truly skilled. He takes excellent care of my patients and has always treated them with the kind of respect and thoughtfulness that’s rare to find. He’s honorable and consistent, and I trust him completely. This is not only the kind of dentist you want, but the kind of practice owner you hope for as a patient.

My daughter went to get a cleaning and Rashbaum upsold her "fillings for decay". Not cavities. She thought it was the right thing to get done for prevention so she did. He charged $375 a tooth and treated 12 TEETH in one sitting. No anesthesia. When I called to ask for the chart notes, I asked if they informed her about the cost of this service and they said "She never asked." I expected more from a professional practice, especially when it comes to financial clarity and patient trust.
