I had a great experience with Dr. Lipschutz. He was very thorough and detailed, took the time to explain everything clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout my visit. He was also very friendly and really put me at ease. I’m very happy with my experience and would definitely recommend him!

There is not a better dental experience out there. Robert D Lipschutz is friendly, informative, methodical, emotionally sensitive, and physically gentle. He takes his time to explain the procedure and then works with care and consideration to make his patient feel comfortable and attended to throughout the time they are in the chair. I highly recommend!

I came to Dr. Lipschutz as a new patient after a frustrating run of more transactional practices, and the difference announced itself before I had even sat in the chair. When I called around, most offices treated the dentist as too important to meet a new patient first, offering to book me weeks or months out to see a hygienist and only later the doctor himself. Dr. Lipschutz's team did the opposite. His receptionist, Victor, was warm and genuinely helpful over text before I ever arrived, talked me through what to expect, and scheduled me directly with the doctor the very next day. That alone told me something about how this practice thinks about people.

The visit itself only deepened the impression. Dr. Lipschutz was calm, unhurried, and plainly more interested in building a relationship than in processing me. We actually talked; he told me about his weekends playing in a punk band, and the conversation had the texture of two people getting to know each other rather than a transaction on an assembly line.

None of that came at the expense of rigour. He took a full set of digital x-rays and completed a comprehensive six-point periodontal charting of every tooth, the kind of diligence many offices quietly skip, then analysed each finding thoughtfully and walked me through it in plain language. He set out a clear, sensibly prioritised plan, and unlike practices that seem chiefly interested in racking up fees and never following up, he gave the distinct impression he would see things through.

What earned my trust most was his restraint. On more than one point where a less scrupulous dentist could easily have steered me toward expensive work, he examined things carefully and told me plainly what did not need doing. In an industry where the incentive so often runs the other way, that honesty tells you everything about how he practises.

His hygienist was every bit as impressive: gentle and unhurried, meticulous around the sensitive areas, and genuinely generous with practical aftercare guidance rather than a hurried once-over. I left with my teeth properly clean and a clear sense of how to keep them that way.

Dr. Lipschutz is one of the best-reviewed and well-trained dentists in NYC: Ivy League-trained and plainly experienced, but it is the pairing of clinical rigour with real warmth, from Victor at the front desk to the doctor himself, that sets this practice apart. I'd contacted him last year, but I didn't have the right insurance coverage at the time, so I literally waited until I could switch to one he accepted just so that I could go to him. It was the best decision I could have made. I have found my dentist, and I recommend him without reservation.

After two years and several procedures with Dr. Lipschutz, I ultimately decided I no longer wanted to continue my care at this practice. I had an upcoming 3-hour appointment and contacted the office 48 hours in advance (twice the 24-hour notice stated in the practice’s own cancellation policy) to reschedule due to illness.

Instead of simply acknowledging my decision, Dr. Lipschutz personally texted me: “I was really counting on that work this week!” He then followed up by telling me I could be “feeling a lot better by Friday,” despite knowing nothing about my health condition. I found this response deeply disturbing coming from a healthcare provider.

His comment made me question whether the treatment recommendations I previously received were always driven solely by medical necessity. I can’t know what his motivations were, but he created that doubt himself by framing my appointment in terms of the “work” he was counting on. I trusted this practice with my dental care until this point. That interaction destroyed my trust in the provider.

I will not be returning.

Finding a dentist you can trust isn’t easy, but this is someone who truly stands out. Not only is he a skilled professional, he’s a genuinely good-hearted person who takes the time to care about his patients.
He doesn’t rush you in and out of the chair. He sits with you, explains everything clearly, and makes sure you’re comfortable every step of the way. Whether it’s a routine visit or something more serious, he walks you through it so you feel confident and at ease.
If you’ve been looking for a dentist who actually listens, takes his time, and treats you like a person, not a number… say no more. This is your guy. Give him a call and check him out.
