I’ve had an excellent experience with this dental office from start to finish. The front desk associates are outstanding—thorough when scheduling appointments, consistent with reminders, and always responsive and helpful via text with any questions. I’ve come in for a cleaning, a tooth extraction, and replacement of fillings that were over 20 years old. I’ll be getting an implant soon too. Every procedure was handled with great care, with a clear focus on my comfort throughout. The space itself is also exceptionally clean and well-maintained. Michael and Steven are true experts. They create a calm, reassuring environment, which makes a big difference—especially if you tend to get nervous at the dentist. Kris will walk you through the payment process and explain what to expect from treatment. Truly, appreciate the whole team. Highly recommend!

I had my first visit at Core Smiles and it was honestly the best dental experience I’ve had. I usually get anxious going to the dentist, but from the moment I walked in, the space felt calm, elevated, and welcoming and being greeted by Enzo, their Chief Comfort Officer (the sweetest dog), immediately put me at ease. Dr. Gulizio was warm, personable, and efficient. The entire team was attentive and made sure I was comfortable from start to finish. I left feeling taken care of and, for the first time, actually looking forward to my next visit.

DREAM TEAM! I am BLOWN AWAYYYYYYYY!! Dr. Matthew Goldstein and his dazzling dental hygienist Judy surpassed all expectations today. After our beloved family dentist retired, I was concerned about finding another doctor for our quartet. In just one visit, Dr. Goldstein has won my trust and my faith in the future of our teeth. He used the new technology of using a camera to help me see what was happening in my mouth, which was humbling to say the least, but wonderfully empowering. The team is super-kind, understated-chic, and sensationally skillful. With wit and empathy, Judy and Dr. Goldstein inspired me make new life changes. The office feels like a relaxing, boutique spa. The team, environment, and technology feel like the future of dentistry. I am thrilled to have found a new home for our family's oral health for decades to come.

I love this place. All the dentists and hygienists are exceptional. A special shout out to Kris who knows how nervous I was to come in (I lost my insurance for a while and it had been some time since my last cleaning). They made me feel right at home and I had a terrific experience. Looking forward to continuing my oral health with Core Smiles.

Saved My Trip! Had a dental emergency while visiting NYC right before an international flight. Luckily, I found Dr. Steven Cordoves and his amazing team. They got me in fast, made a CEREC crown the same day, and had me out the door pain-free in time to catch my flight. Super friendly, professional, and the crown looks and feels great. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

As a new patient, I am overwhelmed by the efficiency with which the office is run and the helpfulness and caring attitudes of Dr. Gulizio and his entire staff.

He takes the time to fully discuss the issues with you and explain in detail all of your options. He is kind, intelligent and undoubtedly a master at what he does. I truly feel I’ve made an outstanding choice in selecting Dr. Gulizio. I look forward to working with him and his team with confidence and trust that my outcome will be 100% successful.

highly recommend Core Smiles clinic. Yesterday I had my first visit with Dr. Goldstein, he is so knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. The staff is so friendly you felt like you’re at the spa while you’re getting the top treatment form the dental professionals. I'm not a fan of doctors and dentist but yesterday I was calm plus the music thiughtfully design throughout it makes you feel you're staying in a nice hotel somewhere. Plus their friendly dog sat on my lap while dr Goldstein worked in my teeth it felt I had a personal therapy dog 😍Thank you everyone at Core Smile 🙏

Dr. Goldstein is an absolute genius. He is meticulous in his work, extremely gentle, an excellent communicator and really listens to the patient. He is a total perfectionist and I have always left my appointments feeling confident and 100% comfortable with the work he has performed. I have been going to Dr. Goldstein for years and would highly recommend him for any type of dental procedure.

Had my second visit here today with Dr. Goldstein. After the most thorough and high-tech exam in the swankiest dental office ever, he presented multiple options. He took the time to honestly answer my questions while taking my concerns about cost into consideration. I felt listened to and well-looked after by him. Terrific chairside manner. And while my choices for what to do about my dental condition aren't great - everyone in the office I encountered was very kind about what I'm facing. I'm almost looking forward to going back in on Monday for 2 extractions. Maybe this time I'll get to meet Enzo - their comfort dog. :) Thanks again for all you do, Core Smiles!

I have never experienced a medical practice like this before. Every touchpoint at this practice is NEXT level. The reception is so chic and welcoming. Dr. Gulizio spent so much time with me and explained everything in perfect detail (he is insanely smart). The office works with your insurance and is beyond responsive in a way that is refreshing and almost surprising (as an example: I emailed Dr. G at 9:30 PM with a question and he responded within an hour). Amazing experience and I wish more medical practices had such high standards.

I recently visited Core Smiles in NYC to get my cavities treated, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. The team went above and beyond to ensure I felt relaxed and comfortable throughout the entire procedure. Special shout-out to the hygienist Melissa—she was absolutely amazing! Melissa cleaned my teeth and took all the x-rays during my visits prior to the cavity treatment. She was incredibly helpful, offering great tips and advice for maintaining my dental health. Her friendly and calming demeanor really set the tone for a positive experience. During the cavity procedure itself, they continued to impress. They offered a variety of accommodations to ease any anxiety I had—everything from soothing music to under-eye cooling pads that felt incredibly fresh and calming. These thoughtful touches made the experience feel less like a dental appointment and more like a self-care session! The dentists and staff were extremely skilled and attentive, walking me through every step and answering all my questions with care. The procedure itself was smooth, painless, and thorough. I left feeling like I was in great hands and with a newfound trust in dental care. If you’re looking for a dental practice that combines top-notch expertise with an unparalleled focus on patient comfort, I highly recommend Core Smiles!

Friendliest staff and a relaxing environment to get a cleaning and whitening session! The receptionist Thay greeted me in the waiting room and offered me something to drink when I arrived. The office had already sent me digital paperwork to fill out before my visit so I didn’t have to spend time waiting. I was paired up with Melissa. She was kind and communicative about the equipment she was using from a laser to spot cavities to the ins and outs of the Zoom whitening light. I was told that the whitening process would cause sensitivity and some sharp pain but that it would fade off in the next day. I did have those side effects in the hours after, but here it is the next morning and I feel fine! To make sure I was comfortable though, I was given a soothing gel in case I had issues overnight. Pleased with my cleaning & whitening results and loved the staff! :)

Vibey, friendly and quality service. I’ve been struggling to find a dentist since I moved from LA last year. My friend recommended Core Smiles so my sister and I came in for a teeth cleaning and ended up getting a teeth whitening as well. Melissa was fantastic - very kind and made me feel very relaxed. She even gave me an eye mask while I was getting my teeth whitened. Definitely recommend!!

First time going to the dentist in 10 years, so I was a little nervous. The entire experience at Core Smile was so welcoming and easy. Daniele's friendliness at reception made me feel immediately calm when I arrived. But also, the office decor and set up is fun and chic, so it didn't even feel like I was at the dentist. Melissa was my hygienist and walked me through everything she was doing, plus she checked in with me throughout to make sure I was ok. Part of my hesitance in going to the dentist previously had been because of negative interactions and experiences. Everyone at Core Smile restored my faith, including Dr. Gulizio, who was warm and informative. I felt like I was in good hands.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I’ve been with core smiles for years, got treated by both Dr. cordoves and Dr. gulizio. I have had an implant, crowns, fillings, tmj realignment - anything you can think of I’ve had done at the practice and all pain free. Core smiles is an incredible practice, both professional and yet feels like home. Highly recommend the practice!

Core Smiles gets a 5-star rating from me. Rarely do you find a dental office with such a great team from top to bottom. Dr. Gulizio has impressive training, and is very intelligent and highly skilled. He keeps himself well-informed on current best practices and uses the most up-to-date equipment for implants and for diagnosing orofacial pain, as well as for minor and major aesthetic procedures. Importantly, he is very empathetic, taking time to listen to my concerns and explain things clearly. For the past year, Dr. G has been helping to relieve my severe TMJ pain, taking detailed scans and analyzing my bite. Beyond the usual night guard and Botox, he has utilized his amazing Fotona laser to relieve pain in my jaw and neck areas. This is a game-changer for many pain issues. Thay and Danielle, at the front desk, run the office with professionalism and patience. They always respond expediently and do everything possible to accommodate my schedule. The back-office assistants are wonderful as well. Enzo, Dr. G’s adorable therapy dog, spreads joy and calm throughout the office and provides comfort to the patients. As an interior designer, I appreciate the thought that went into creating the beautiful decor and calming environment. I feel lucky to have found Dr. G!

Dr Gulizio is the best! Not only is he a wonderful listener and kind individual, but he is a dedicated problem solver. I have been dealing with a tmj issue for over a year...have seen a variety of people from dentists to oral surgeons to chiropractors to acupuncturists to help me solve/fix it, but to no avail. However, Dr. Gulizio spent thoughtful time listening and focused time creating a treatment plan. When I left his office I felt a sense of confidence and relief that my tmj problem could and would be resolved. I highly recommend him. And as an added bonus, everyone on the staff is professional, yet so personable! 10 star review!!

Dr. Gulizio’s hands are like feathers. And this is coming from someone with very sensitive teeth. I have seen him for cosmetic dentistry and the result is above and beyond what I had anticipated. My smile looks perfect, but more than that, it looks natural! You could never tell I have veneers. This is because he uses top quality materials and instrumentation. My new smile is so beautiful that I can’t help not showing it. My confidence has never been this high. My mood and psychological wellbeing have improved. I have a completely different energy now, and I can tell people notice it.

Fortunately (really?), I've had the opportunity recently to spend some quality time with my long-time dentist, Dr. Michael Gulizio. I've always had a lot of respect for his integrity and skills. Recently, since I've been away from New York a lot, I have a chance to compare his work with other excellent practitioners. And I can say with great confidence that his skills, care, artistry and results are unparalleled. I have complete faith in his recommendations, his evaluation and his work - with crowns, fillings and superb fitting and balancing of my night guard. It's hard to find a good dentist - Michael is outstanding! Importantly, the office is beautiful, completely modern and the staff are professional and nice.

I highly recommend Core Smiles and Dr. Cordoves! I hadn’t been to the dentist in a while and hadn’t been taking care of my teeth. I cracked a tooth pretty badly, so I knew I needed to take care of it. Core Smiles was recommended to me, so I made an appointment and explained my concerns. From scheduling and upon arrival, they made me feel very comfortable and confident in the care I would receive. The office is so clean and beautiful and, if you’re like me and a little anxious about the dentist, you will feel comfortable and relaxed in this space. The measures they have in place for Covid also placed me at ease during this time. Dr Cordoves and all the staff explained the options and circumstances so that I was able to get the best care and outcome for me. My visit felt very personal and not rushed in any way. I had been dreading going to the dentist before this and it totally changed my mindset. Core Smiles was the best Dentist/Doctor experience I’ve ever had and I highly recommend their practice.
