Question: NYC DMO Dentist?

blapst — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 13:08:06 -0800

Need a dentist in NYC who takes Aetna DMO. Midtown or Park Slope preferred, but any will do.

My insurance runs out soon, and I need some fillings. I'm calling all over town to discover that almost no one who is recommended takes DMO.

Not sure what my dentist takes, but he hasn't turned down anyone I've sent him so far. And he's pretty freaking awesome. Dr. Lantner on W. 57th.

Um. How about Aetna?

Sorry. Some clarification is in order. I'm looking for recommendations from MeFites based on personal experience, not simply a list of Aetna DMO dentists.

My fault. "Any will do" was totally unclear (I meant I'll go anywhere in NYC if it's a good rec, not I'll go to anyone who's Aetna DMO - I've heard some pretty bad stories from many co-workers who chose randomly from the book). Sorry.

I have Aetna, and I've been going to Dr. Sandip Sachar on W. 57th for the last couple of years. I've been pretty happy with her and her staff.

Try Dr. Deidan - she used to be my dentist, but I switched to Cigna insurance and she doesn't take that. I'd go back to her in a heartbeat, if I could. Her office is on 60th, between Park and Lex.
