Our Reviews
What Our Patients Are Saying
i've been a patient of this Holistic Dentist since 1998, when Dr. Lewis Gross was one of the few Natural dentists in NYC. He trained his replacement, Dr. Shweta Verma, who is one of the kindest, most caring Dentists, or Doctors, i have even known. This is in addition to providing truly Holistic procedures for your dental health. The entire staff is competent and friendly. i highly recommend this practice!
Best dental experience I've ever had. Dr. Shweta has a great, warm energy and really took the time to consider the best treatment plan for me. It didn't feel rushed or impersonal like most dentist offices. The technicians and even front desk employee Katerin were all super sweet. Highly recommend!
Great place to treat your dental problems!!!. I was impressed by the service and responsiviness I received as soon as I got there. Dr Verma, listened to my concerns and discussed my best options for my dental issues. The staff are exceptional as well, they are genuinily warm and friendly...Love it..
I’ve been getting the best dental care for years with Dr. Verma and her associates at Holistic Dentists. She is kind, patient and very professional- explains everything! Karl is an excellent hygienist; and a brilliant person. He’s taught me so much about how to take care of my teeth. I highly recommend this dental practice!
I just had another great visit to Holistic Dentists. The facility is comfortable and immaculate. The equipment: state-of-the-art. The staff: friendly and professional. For years Holistic Dentists has kept my mouth in excellent condition and I am confident that this first-rate service will continue thanks to Dr. Verma and her colleagues!
Dr. Verma is an excellent dentist.She has the knowledge to provide you with the best options to solve your dental issues. Mr.George
Highly recommended! I had a lot of anxiety finally returning to the dentist after 10+ years, Dr Verma and her entire staff made me feel so comfortable and cared for. Literally holding my hand through a necessary procedure. They explained everything in detail, gave me options and made me feel empowered throughout the process. I’ve had such a profoundly positive experience in the care of this team. Life changing!
Dr. Verma is a terrific dentist. She’s brilliant at her work and equally importantly, she truly cares about her patients. She has built a great practice with helpful staff and flexible hours.
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Verma and the entire team at Holistic Dentists. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed into a warm, calming environment that immediately puts you at ease—something I never thought I'd say about a dental office! Dr. Verma is truly exceptional. She genuinely cares about her patients and it shows in every interaction. She takes the time to listen carefully, ask the right questions, and think through personalized solutions rather than offering one-size-fits-all treatment. In my case, we discussed a nuanced issue that several other providers had not addressed properly, and proposed a thoughtful, holistic approach that considered not just my dental health but my overall well-being. What sets her apart is her deep commitment to integrating modern dental techniques with a mindful, whole-body perspective. It's clear that she’s passionate about finding the right path for each patient, and that level of care is rare. If you're looking for a dentist who is smart, compassionate, and committed to your health, Dr. Verma is the one to see. Highly recommend!
Dr. Verma was very clear and open about everything, and had a smooth experience overall!
Holistic Dentists is a unique practice. The environment is relaxing, light-hearted, and positive. I love that Dr. Verma is not dogmatic and considers the overall well-being of her patients. She is also flexible and great with kids.
I’m so grateful such a place exists to provide holistic care, information and resources in support of a more well-rounded approach to oral health and vitality. Dr. Verma is very proficient and thorough in her work as well as being incredibly kind, generous with her time, and authentic. It was a joy to receive care and valuable insights from her during my visit here. Highly recommend checking them out!
This place is so wonderful. I first came after about a year of increasing pain and sensitivity that no one else could explain. I was starting to think maybe I was just sensitive and needed to learn to manage the constant discomfort. At my first visit Dr. Verma spotted in 30 seconds what no one else had and was able to help get me on the path back to normal function. She really listened and was very gentle and careful giving how sensitive to pain and temperature everything was by that point. I’m so grateful I found her!
