Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I went to see Dr Tuchman because my dentist wanted me try one last time to consider a dental implant for a missing tooth I had for year. Another dentist said it wouldn't be possible but Dr Tuchman was able to place it after adding some bone. It wasn't cheap, but the result is worth it. I usually don't write reviews, but wanted to commend him and his staff.

Tinnitus
Had appointment at 2:15pm on 1/27/2023, and arrived 10 minutes prior to appointment. Waiting area had 3 other people. Didn’t seem as if there would be a lengthy wait. About 15 minutes after arrival, my family member was seen by office manager, basic questions to confirm address were asked. We were then advised to go back to waiting room and would be called. 10 minutes later we were bought into Dr. Tuchman’s examination room and waited half an hour. When Dr. Tuchman arrived in the exam room, he looked as if he’d just awaken from a nap, sleep or whatever you want to call it. He seemed uninterested, very shallow, saw my family member for maybe 10 minutes the most, just to tell us that he doesn’t handle tinnitus, although his website indicates he does. Definitely will not recommend Dr. Tuchman.

A winning team!
I've been seeing Dr. Tuchman for a few years as I've gone through a lengthy implant procedure involving several surgeries. Dr. Tuchman and his staff are such a pleasure to deal with — friendly, attentive, professional, helpful, and so efficient. One of the downsides of reaching my age (70) is having to visit too many doctors’ offices. From my personal experience, finding all those qualities in one place is rare, and I really do appreciate it. I see that in their reviews, some people said they had problems with the office's billing practices, but luckily, that was never an issue for me.

Dr. Tuchman was professional and the surgery went ok. I went to him because his reviews were good. Office staff was extremely nice at first until you try to dispute additional charges thats when they get nasty. The issues I experienced is billing related. I was told that they checked my insurance prior to the surgery to make sure the procedure was covered. Having known that I would have to pay out of pocket, which I did, close to $2,000 dollars. I was told by my insurance that they weren’t billing at the contractual rate and that there was an item left off the claim. Felt completely taken advantage of since I’ve learned that many doctors have in Manhattan increased their rates. (We are in the midst of a pandemic and people are losing their jobs). But this is how doctors are handling situations by maximizing their profits. The practice did nothing to rectify the situation other than get nasty on the phone, tell me they won’t submit another claim and hang up on me.

I was experiencing wisdom tooth Pain for the longest and was always scared to get them removed since it was an impacted wisdom tooth . I was referred to Dr. Tuchman by another dentist so I felt very confident in going to see him. All I have to say is that he is very smart, informative and attentive to with patients . If you need oral surgery do not look any further make it about your business to schedule with him . I drove from far just to go see him . I have to remove my other wisdom teeth and you better believe that this is my spot. Matthew is great and answering any questions you have . They always pick up the phone and answer emails. They have quick service like filling out their paperwork online to make life much easier . Shout out to Matthew Chanel and Dr. Tuchman of course I loved the service and definitely need to return after the summer Is over . Thank you again Dr. Tuchman and your phenomenal team you guys cured my pain .

Outstanding in every way -- the staff, Dr. Tuchman, the experience. Friendly, knowledgeable, organized, skilled, reassuring. patient -- all words to describe everyone I met along the way. Having an extraction is no picnic, but feeling like you're getting the best possible care takes all the pain away. I cannot say enough about this practice.

Dr. Tuchman is nice, knowledgeable and... looks like a doctor you'd see in a TV drama. He explained everything that he needed to do... and why... in a way I could understand. His office manager and nurses were friendly and helpful (even though the office was obviously busy). I also liked that the insurance forms were emailed to me in advance so I could fill them out ahead of my visit. The wait in the waiting room was normal (not long not short), but once I was taken into an examination room, things moved quickly (which I appreciated). Overall, a much better experience than I expected for a dental implant... and will definitely recommend to friends who need an oral surgeon.

My entire experience with Dr. Mario Tuchman & his colleagues was delightful, regardless of having (4) wisdom teeth extracted. The quality of the consultation was excellent and drove me to continue with having my extraction with Dr. Tuchman. The doctor was able to diagnose what he needed to know before performing oral surgery, describe me through that process and was able to answer any questions that I had. The office manager, Matthew, was transparent with the fees and ensured that I had no questions after his explanation. I do not remember the surgery itself which is perfect. The doctor continued to follow up with me after ensuring recovery was as expected. I recommend Dr. Tuchman to anyone requiring oral surgery.

This was a wonderful experience all-around. Everyone there from the reception to the nurses and doctors were super nice, patient and knowledgeable and I would absolutely recommend the practice without any hesitation. The Dr. even called post visit to see how I was feeling. 5 stars all-around!

Outstanding service from a top notch oral surgeon! It's tough sometimes going to the dentist, and worse when you need to have a tooth out. Dr Tuchman is not only skilled at treating patients, but he takes time to EXPLAIN things to you. And there is something great about getting in the chair, going to sleep, and waking up to have it done. You have a lot of choices in Manhattan, but few worthy of your time. Dr Tuchman certainly is.
