I was extremely impressed by the office staff, it's by far the most positive customer service experience I've had in a long time. Dr. Cirka was extermely skillful, careful, and he never rushed through any process. I'd recommend this doctor in a heartbeat to anyone.

The staff is extremely nice and the atmosphere is conducive to what you would want in a dental office. They thoroughly assessed my needs during the free consultation and told me what I needed to have done in order to restore my smile to it's original luster. I started out with the gum treatment and now I'm currently using Invisalign. Every visit has been great and I barely have to wait at all when I arrive for my appointments. If you're looking for a friendly staff and great dental care/service look no further!

This office is amazing-- I tried a few other dentist in the city and just wasn't happy. I found Dr. Cirka online while looking for Invisilign dentists. Everyone in the office is so nice and I am so happy with my straight teeth. I highly recommend this office!

Pros: very friendly staff, always on time, many payment options, great follow-up, can't say enough

Cons: none

I was recommended to Dr. Cirka’s office by a friend. When I first arrived I felt really welcomed! Not just as a customer but as a guest. My first visit was slightly over a year ago and I have since had two checkups (initial first exam and then the 6 month) and a few cavities, etc. The staff showed much interest in my past dental history – which had been far and in between. They took the time to understand my needs and took the time to go into great detail to breakdown any dental treatment that may be taken care of. I have told my friends, coworkers and family how wonderful his office is. The staff is great there and really show care for the health of my teeth and gums. Very detailed!!! The office is efficient and clearly works as a team. They send periodical emails and when it gets close to a checkup or procedure they send multiple reminders via snail mail, email and by phone. Maybe over the top for some but I like it. Pros: Convenient location, modern equipment, best mints Cons: NONE

I went to Dr. Cirka for a consult about getting Lumineers. I knew from the first time I met him that he was the one that was going to do my Lumineers! From the scheduling of appointments to the actual dental work, everything went smoothly and as expected. As far as I am concerned, Dr. Cirka is an artist as well as a great dentist. He is so kind and friendly and his staff is extremely professional. I am so confident in Dr. Cirka that I sent my Husband and my Uncle there! And you should see my smile, my teeth are so perfect and natural looking that I can't stop smiling!!!!

Pros: Friendly, Clean, Professional, Affordable, Scheduling, A+++++ all the way!

Cons: Located in the city

I always recommend Dr. Cirka to all of my friends, family and business associates because of the results I have thanks to him! I am a current patient of Dr. Cirka and his team and found Dr. Cirka's office online after avoiding all dentists for several years. He recommended a plan of action that included referrals to other dental specialists and an orthodontist for adult braces---that was two years ago and today I have straight teeth and am very happy with my smile :-) The office is efficient and clearly works as a team. As a fellow professional--I appreciate that and will continue to send referrals.

Pros: Convenient location, modern equipment, massage chairs!

I was late for my appointment because I got off at the wrong subway stop. They called me to ask if I was five or less minutes away and I said "maybe", meaning "I think I'm less than five minutes away", but before I could clarify, the receptionist cut me off asking for me to get there as soon as possible. The office staff was friendly and smiling but were trying too hard and were insincere. I was scheduled for a cleaning and free consultation. The Hygenist did bite wing x-rays and my cleaning and told me I had early periodontal disease and needed a procedure called scaling. She also found two cavities and some teeth that needed sealants. After the Hygenist looked my mouth over and cleaned my teeth she proceded to tell me how horrible Periodontal disease was and how if left untreated horrible things would happen to my teeth. She also told me that even though I didn't have health insurance for the past seven years while I was in school I should have payed out of pocket to care for my teeth. I felt guilty. She then put on a video in the exam room elucidating AGAIN all the bad things that would happen to my teeth if I wasn't treated The doctor came in for about five minutes and checked for cavities and felt my jaw. I had by their count two cavities. I paid $160 for a cleaning and a bottle of mouthwash. I later had to call and request a reciept because they didn't give me one. The office manager ALSO went into how periodontal disease was and how important it was to be treated asap. He told me that insurance is a scam and that I needed $2000 worth of dental work. Then he asked me for a $200 deposit. I left feeling pressured and uncomfortable. I went to another dentist. He's going to fill my THREE cavities next week, and do a regular cleaning in a month. I don't need the $1,000 scaling procedure. And I felt like a human being in his office. Don't go to Cirka unless you're rich, easily manipulated, and don't care that you are being taken for a ride.

Pros: clean, new equipment and tools, pretty office

Cons: Pay up front, hard time with insurance, they cater to the wealthy

This dental office really has the best mints! ha! Actually, when I first arrived I felt as if I was really welcomed! The staff showed much interest in my past dental work and took the time to understand my needs. They definitely weren't the kind of folks to rush you in, get paid, and send you on your way. I didn't actually get a treatment of anything yet, unfortunately, but i'm sure that when I need it...Cirka's office will be the place I go! Good Luck!

I had been doing some online research after being disappointed with the care I was receiving at another office. Due to some financial set-backs in the past, I really needed someone who not only cared about me, but also had financial assistance programs available. I found Dr. Cirka's office online, and was impressed with what other patients had to say about the services. They have an option to come in for a free consultation, so I set up my appointment online. Within a matter of minutes, I received a welcome email and an appointment. Upon entering the office I was welcomed by the staff and instantly made to feel at home. They were so outgoing and friendly- so I knew I made the right decision. I had some X-rays taken and Dr. Silva examined my teeth- she discussed the course of treatment that is available to save some of my teeth that are in need of major TLC. This experience was so amazing- because I had never been to a dentist before who fully explained what I needed prior to the service. I decided on the option to get all of my work done ASAP so that I can get clear braces to straighten my teeth. I am so excited about the services offered in the office that are not only going to make my teeth healthy---but whiter and straight. Dr. Cirka's staff is amazing---they don't just think of me as a patient----but as a person---and that was a terrific feeling. I highly recommend Dr. Cirka's office----and I anxiously await the beginning of my treatment this week.

Pros: Great Staff---All your questions are answered---financing options

Cons: I wouldn't change a thing!

I don't know those other people are talking about -- I have been going to Dr. Cirka for years, and have never had a problem! The staff is great there and really do show that they care for the health of my teeth and gums. I'm always reimbursed when they handle my claims, and don't have a negative thing to say about them. My conclusion is that it must be problem patients (see below) that are causing all the issues. To be perfectly frank, I feel better knowing that people like that don't go to the same dentist as me! Good riddance!

Pros: Great staff, great dentists

Cons: none
