Dr. Melinski and staff are great, I have been taking my kids here from the 1st year until now. One is 15 the other 4 and I couldnt be happier. No cavities ever and the most pleasant environment for the little ones. The most respectful and patience people you can ever find.
Dr. Melinski is absolutely wonderful. My son is always happy to go there, and its hard to get him to leave. His waiting room is clean, pleasant and interactive for the children though you wont be waiting long. He and his staff are very gentle, informative and calming to both child and parent. We started seeing him when my son was 2 and continue to see him 3 yrs later even though we live almost an hour away now.In addition my insurance unfortunately does not cover our visits with Dr Melinski. Though it can be expensive, I wont take him anywhere else, we still see him every six months. My son is worth it and so is Dr. Melinski.There is always a smile and time for you.
Loved our visit with Dr. Melinski, highly professional, kind and wonderful overall.
My son was petrified of the dentist until I started bringing him here. I was actually referred to them by a former employee which says a lot. They are clean, customer service is great, and the doctor and staff are very knowledgeable. I travel from Jamaica Queens to come here and dont mind at all.
My daughter was referred by her pediatrician since she was 3 yrs old, shes is 18 now. Doctor Melinski and his staff always made her comfortable what ever the procedure. Great staff, very friendly, helpful and professional.
Dr. Mellinski is a great childrens dentist. I have been taking my son to his office since he was 2, my son is 5 now. Dr. Mellinski and his staff is very pleasant.
GREAT Chairside Manner! Dr. John managed to do what 2 special needs dentists could not do before him, get my boys to open their mouths for dental treatment. He knew just the right amount of camaraderie and information to give my sons to build their trust and help make them comfortable in his chair. Now, he can perform any dental procedure necessary and they are always OK with it. SO grateful!
I never post comments on places, but I really need to about this one. I have been going to Dr. Melinski for as long as I remember. HE IS AMAZING! Both his staff and Dr. Melinski himself are amazing people. They are very friendly and easy to work with. I swear by this place 100%. Trust me, stop looking, and call him already! Youll thank me.
Dr. John is the best!! My children have gone to him since their first dental appointments!! He is kind, caring and professional!! We wouldnt go anywhere else!! I drive from Queens to see him!! Love him!!
Dr Melinski and his staff is amazing!! Their compassion and dedication to their patients goes above and beyond! I can’t say enough good things about them. I recommend them to everyone
I simply would like to say that they were amazing with my 2 years old daughter and my 5 years old son this morning. Very patient and caring. Thanks,
They were wonderful with my son! Made it fun for him and the facility has a lot of things to keep them occupied in the waiting room. He actually didnt want to leave.
Dr. Melinaki fixed my sons cracked front tooth, and did a SUPERB job! It looks absolutely perfect!!
My son had a lot of anxiety and he responded well to entire staff. Dr called to check up on him, Im very pleased.
Been bringing my daughter since she is 5 yrs old, shes 19 now. Doctor Melinski and his staff always made her comfortable what ever the procedure.
Staff and Dr were kind, professional, and quick. Office is clean and friendly. Another plus its 10 mins from my home.
Dr. Melinski is an excellent doctor. and his assistant; she is a sweetheart .
Excellent service. Very happy experience. Dental hygienists fantastic. Dentist professional. Front desk could be a little more approachable, but nonetheless straight and to the point—knowledgable about insurance matters, and other front desk matters.
I love the work he does and hes execellent dentist been going to him for along time
The staff was wonderful and caring. They took precautions needed to keep my mind at ease. My nephew was a handful but they didnt mind and didnt rush. I would recommend them
First of all i didnt bring in my son i came with my daughter and 2nd i wasnt 40 minutes late please learn how to tell time i called you at 11:15 and i was in your office at 11:25 but you made me wait for hour and a half without telling me anything and at one point i was the person there with my DAUGHTER!3rd the lady at the front desk is rude and has very bad attitude Im sure the Dr.John is very experienced and great with kids but sadly i wont be coming back longest the rude old lady is still working there and the one 🌟 isnt for doctor but for the rude old lady
Other than the office being extremely hot, the visit was fine. My daughter liked the dentist and she was in and out, cleaning, two fillings, done. No issues with insurance like someone else had stated. I also saw that they recommended Kidd Smiles, but I do not. There I had a bad experience. Dr. Melinski knew my prior dentist as well, so that was comforting.
Dr. Melinski is patient, professional, and deeply cares about all of his patients and their dental needs.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, WE ARE REALLY HAPPY HERE
My son loves Dr. Melinski.. And the dental assiants that deal with son too.

2021-10-08Going to Dr Melinski is always a wonderful experience!!! I cant say enough amazing things about him and his team. I have had some bad experiences in the past with my oldest child in other offices (too bad I didnt know of this doctor then, she probably wouldnt be so terrified of dentists). Glad I chose Dr. Melinski for my youngest. He is amazing with children. He makes them feel so comfortable while checking their teeth. I recommend him to everyone with children. Thank you Dr. Melinski & staff!

2021-03-17This is my daughters second time at this office and each time we have been very pleased. The staff is friendly and helpful. They are definitely doing their part social distancing. The office is very clean. The appointments are on time. One family in the office at a time. If you get there early you wait in your car and theyll call you once the prior patient has left. I couldnt be happier. I am very happy I found Dr Melinski. My daughter really likes him. Hes very gentle and caring with her. This is the only doctor she doesnt complain about. I highly recommend.

2019-10-15My kids have had several terrible experiences at dentist offices... I have spent hours in waiting rooms to have my children flip out and not get anything done... Dr. Melinski is AMAZING! He was able to keep both my 10 month old and my 3 year old super calm and relaxed. He was able to clean their teeth with NO struggle. He made them feel super comfortable and engaged in the process. the office is clean filled with toys and the staff at the front desk is super nice and welcoming. So excited to find a pediatric dentist that was able get my kids to leave with big smiles and excited for their next cleaning!

2016-11-18Dr.John is the best!! My autistic son has been seeing him for 20 yrs. We tried so many other places and had horrible experiences. Dr.Melinski and his staff are naturally patient and full of compassion. Both of my children loved going there and neither one of them has ever had a cavity! We get partially reimbursed through insurance and my son gets a cleaning every three months; worth every penny!

2016-11-18Dr. John is great with my 3 kids! The whole staff is very friendly and helps make my kids feel at ease. My daughter had 4 baby teeth pulled and he talked with her and distracted her so she wasnt so freaked out. She was only 9 and after was over said that wasnt so bad.Thank you Dr. John and staff!! I highly recommend

2016-09-09I dont really understand how anyone could have not rated Dr Melinski as excellent. We have been going to him for years and he is an amazing dentist. He is great with kids and treats kids really well who do not feel comfortable going to the dentist. He has gone above and beyond for my kids even helping one feel comfortable at another dentists office when she needed a root canal. He is the best!

2016-11-18I first brought my daughter here when she was 15 months because she had 20 teeth by her first birthday! Dr Melinski and his staff were SUPER patient with her and let her examine the dental tools they would be using to help put her at ease. Dr Melinski patiently answered all my first time mom questions too! By the time my daughter had her 2nd visit at 22 months she couldnt wait to be seen and even say patiently in the dental chair for her entire cleaning! We are looking forward to her next visit!
