Gowanus Dental - Illya Alex Tarasenko DMD

I was incredibly impressed by the team at Gowanus Dental. For a year, I was aware of them from being involved in the 8th Street Block Association and had heard only positive things. Over the summer, I had ongoing mild tooth pain in a molar with a filling that had popped out, but I didn't address it because I am afraid of dentists and go to the dentist on an as-absolutely-necessary basis. (The first time I had a cavity filled, I felt way more than I should have and am lightly traumatized by the experience). One night in September, my tooth suddenly became a source of 9/10 pain; I couldn't think straight it was so painful. The next morning, it was clear I needed emergency dental work. I called Gowanus Dental, and despite that I was not a current patient, they saw me immediately (as in,

My first visit to Dr. Tarasenko was a pleasant experience. My dental hygienist Sylwia gave me a very thorough dental cleaning. The Gowanus Dental clinic has the latest modern dental equipment and the staff are very helpful and friendly.I also had two fillings done on my molars by Dr. Tarensko today. He was very fast and efficient. He's very experienced and I trust his skills. Cool guy too. Nice free swag.

I had a horrific experience here at Gowanas Dental and it was clear to me the reason I was treated so poorly was due to fact that did not at this time wish to spend $20,000 on implants that was suggested to me every single time I went there, I went in for a cavity and the next thing I know is dentist comes in and says to me you need implants and if you don’t get them your in trouble and you can’t come to me only when you have dental issues and the next thing I know he is injected me with 3 needles in very quick succession and my heart started to race incredibly fast and I became sick to my stomach and so dizzy I almost fainted tye next thing I know is he ripping my tooth out so aggressively it was so disturbing and so aggressive it was scary and unsettling , he is very money hungry and if

I’ve been going here for a few years, I think. Dr. Tarasenko and his team are really good. I come here for regular cleanings. But one time, I was injured in a fall, and Dr. Tarasenko fit me in same day. He gave me personal attention when it was clear this was the end of the day. It’s hard to find a good dentist, and one that you trust. I highly recommend this practice.

I started going to Dr. Tarasenko on the recommendation of my wife and entire friend group and loved the experience as much as they did. Everyone at the office is great, it's clean and modern, and Dr. Tarasenko is clear and honest (he's never pushed for me to have work done, even when others in the area had). In fact, he spotted a noteworthy sinus problem in one of my X-rays and referred me to a great ENT. I highly recommend making him your dentist!
