Still the Best after Thirty Years

Our family has been going to our dentist, Dr. Sterling, for over 30 years—starting from when his office was in Brooklyn. From the very beginning, we have always been received warmly and treated with the utmost professionalism and care. We’ve been so happy with his excellent service that even after he moved to Staten Island, we continued going to him and still do to this day.

His Work Is Always Perfect

Always a pleasure to be treated by Dr. Sterling! He's a wonderful dentist and his office staff are really nice. He was recommended to me years ago by my son's pediatric dentist...who was his patient herself! He's instructional and highly skilled. His work is perfect. I always leave knowing more about taking care of my teeth, and looking forward to my next appointment. Go see Dr. Sterling for all your dental needs!

The Only Dentist My Daughter Feels Safe With

Absolutely amazing Dentist!! My daughter and I both go to Dr. Sterling for our dental care. My daughter has high anxiety going to the dentist. Dr. Sterling has been the only dentist that has been able to calm her down and explain everything that he is doing as he’s working on her teeth. He doesn’t rush; he spends as much time as needed with his patients according to whatever their needs are.
