Notes from patients

Not only is the atmosphere of the cozy 71st Street townhouse so relaxing that you might forget you're at the dentist, but the results of my dentistry were just so astonishingly successful that I wish I had known about this exceptional practice years ago.

After a year on the Invisalign program that had fixed about 80% of a teeth-spacing problem, I was pretty happy with the results. But then Dr. Layliev went the extra mile, and bonded my teeth perfectly-- no space, exact match. When I looked in the mirror, I was literally speechless. 100% perfect. An issue I'd had for twenty years, gone. How often can a person count going to the dentist as a truly wonderful experience? But that's what you get at NYCCD.

I spent my first 38 years smiling at the world, and the last 38 years hiding it. Thanks to a few hours in Dr. Layliev's chair, I'll spend the rest of my life smiling. A good friend recommended Dr. Layliev to me. Let me be a good friend and recommend him to you.

Dr. Layliev and the staff at NYCCD did an amazing job whitening and bonding my teeth. They spent so much time making my smile absolutely perfect! I’ve gotten tons of compliments and I have so much more confidence now. Thanks to all of you for making this a wonderful experience!

Michael and I cannot thank Dr Golub enough for his wonderful work on both of our smiles. Because of the concentrated time, detailed skill and unique considerations he gave each of us, we were able to confidently smile non-stop and beam in the overwhelming joy and happiness of our wedding day.

Dr. Golub's office is decorated with his own paintings and artwork and after a few moments of conversation with him, it's clear that his keen sense of aesthetics and artistry deeply affect his work. During my consultation, he listened carefully to my thoughts before devising a plan to correct a long-standing irregularity in my front tooth and offering several astute suggestions for other overall improvements. I soon found that he has an able counterpart with his partner Dr.Layliev, who is both kind and meticulous with his work. He has quickly begun to straighten my lower teeth, which remained crooked even after several years of braces.
I could not be more pleased with my experience. Everyone at the office is extremely friendly and the results have been magnificent. It's a strange experience to encounter someone who seems to care as much about your appearance as you do, but Dr. Golub certainly does!

My experience at NYCCD has been a wonderful one! Both, Dr. Golub-Evans and Dr. Layliev are exceptional people. Several years ago, Dr. Golub-Evans bonded my front tooth. He did such a fabulous job that you couldn't even tell that my tooth had been broken. Thank you Dr. Golub for making my teeth look beautiful! About a year ago, I noticed that my teeth were shifting. Dr. Layliev saved my smile! He did a fantastic job straightening and bonding my teeth. Not only is Dr. Layliev meticulous and talented, he is also a kind and warm-hearted person. He is also very dedicated and professional. My smile looks awesome! Thank you Dr. Layliev for everything!!

I'll miss the Yankees, I'll miss New York, and I'll definitely miss the New York Center for Cosmetic Dentistry.

My life is balanced. I teach fifth grade and the kids are difficult this year, but my new smile was easy. They look beautiful thanks to the New York Center for Cosmetic Dentistry.

I haven't bit anyone yet with them, but they look gorgeous.

How did I go through life without Dr. Jeff and Dr. Manny?? I would never have suspected that two of the top cosmetic dentists in the country would have so much compassion and heart for the people they work with. I came into the office with some very bad dental work and a new fear of dentists. Dr. Jeff listened through my sobs to what had happened and completely put me at ease. He knew exactly what to do to fix the previous work and put me at complete ease. Because they are the best dentists in the world, they not only fixed the problems, they corrected the cosmetic aspect of my teeth as well. Dr. Manny even called me Saturday after my Friday procedure to check on me and leave his cell number just in case. Because of my personalized care, I now have the most beautiful teeth! They look naturally perfect; strangers compliment me all the time and I can't help but smile and beam. How can you feel beautiful with a less that beautiful smile? A smile makeover is one of the most confidence boosting things I've ever done. I recommend NYCCD at every opportunity -- they are amazing people, amazing dentists and the most wonderful staff. No matter where life takes me, I will be back to them for all my dental care.

Dear Dr. Jeff, We were laughing and thought we'd  make a cute present for you...the best thing in the picture are your teeth... Happy holidays Beatrice and Chris, LA and New York

It's not easy to improve perfection but you've certainly more than succeeded when you re-did my veneers. The difference between them and the old ones is as striking as the difference between my old veneers and my original teeth. Thanks to you, I now have the perfect smile I always wanted. Please give my regards to your courteous, professional staff. I was always treated with the outmost kindness and attention and, from the first visit in your office, it was clear to me that both you and your personnel treat your patients as individual people, not cases. I would sincerely recommend your clinic to anyone.

My smile is perfect and I want to thank you so very much for changing something so small that makes such a huge difference; I am forever grateful.

After years of small, missing and otherwise oddly shaped teeth, I had my top teeth bonded by Dr. Golub. The results are outstanding and quite possibly the best thing I have ever done for myself! The three hour procedure was entirely painless and I continue to get endless compliments from family, friends, and even strangers! In fact, the other day, a cashier asked me if I wore braces for years to get my teeth this straight! I never had braces and the kudos belong entirely to Dr. Golub! I found Dr. Golub and his entire staff to be professional, kind, and polite. For those people that are considering cosmetic dentistry, I urge you to make an appointment to meet with Dr. Golub to discuss your treatment plan. I was amazed to find a Doctor who was willing to sit down with me and discuss various procedures and my treatment options at length. He is truly talented!

This was the most exciting and best thing that ever happened to me except getting married. Dr. Golub gets an A+ in all areas: for superior work, personality, and congeniality; as do all of his assistants and office personnel. Every time I look into the mirror I will always remember this experience was the best thing I ever did for myself.

Dr. Golub is the master! He truly cares about his patient. He is a perfectionist; his work is phenomenal and he tailors his work to the individual. I love my new teeth! Thank you, Dr. Golub!

I am writing to thank Dr. Golub for the great job you have done for me. People say that looks don't necessarily change your life, which may be true, but let’s not forget the fact that people often judge you by appearance, especially on making first impressions. When you're trying to land that new job, or maybe even a date--just about anything in life--looking good makes you feel more comfortable and more willing to take the pressure that life has put on us. A smile is the Queen of good looks, or like the crown that tops a King's head. I cannot count the number of times I walked by a nice girl or a good friend and thought to myself, "I wish I could give her the most beautiful smile in the world"...if I had one. Now, I do! Thank you for everything!

Words cannot express how grateful I am to you. I look in the mirror everyday and see a new, better, and happier person and it's all thanks to you. You have not only changed my smile, you have transformed my outlook on life. I have never been happier or more confident than I am right now--I feel like I can conquer the world. With the work you have done to re-create my smile, you have created a new me. I can finally, after all these years, be myself. I can finally show everyone the real Lisa--the one who loves to smile at all those I come across, the one who loves to laugh out loud at a good joke--because of you, I no longer have to hide my smile and cover my mouth. At last, I feel at ease around other people, but more importantly, with myself. Dr. Golub, you are truly a miracle worker, to say the least. I thank you and all of your staff for their kindness and their ability to keep me at ease when I was nervous. Since you all have come into my life, I cannot stop smiling! To everyone contemplating coming in for a consultation, know this: You are dealing with the greatest hands and most wonderful cosmetic dentist ever! Do not be nervous, and know that this is the best thing you can EVER do for yourself. You will not only leave his office with a gorgeous smile, but you will become someone you never thought you could be. I have faced, in the few months I have had my new smile, so many obstacles that I avoided in the past because of my teeth than I have in all of my years. I am Dr. Golub's most truly indebted patient.

All of my life, I had horrible spaces in my teeth that even three years of braces could not correct. That's where Dr. Golub came in. Weary of any dental work because I'm afraid of pain, I hesitated to even go in for a consultation. However, I figured that if I didn't do this for myself, that no one would and I had nothing to lose just going in and meeting Dr. Golub and getting a feel of the atmosphere of the office and staff. I went in, and after meeting him, I was hooked and I knew this was the place for me. The procedures went smoothly and I could not be happier. The compliments on my teeth are never ending and even though that wasn't the point of doing the work, it always makes me smile more. :-)

I can not describe how much I LOVE my smile since I began seeing Dr Layliev! The cosmetic work that he has done for me is so beautiful and natural looking. The girls in the office are so friendly and I truly feel spoiled rotten whenever I visit. My only regret is not finding Dr Layliev sooner.... Michelle, Actress, New York	Micehele

Seventeen years ago I decided to treat myself to porcelain veneers. To this day, I still get compliments on my teeth. Dr. Golub is amazingly talented with a wonderful disposition. Anyone considering cosmetic dentistry should run here!

Dr. Golub-Evans, I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic smile you gave me. Your meticulous work has made a significant impact on my smile. After all the failed attempts from other cosmetic dentists, I'm so glad I found you! You are truly a premier smile artist. I hope the rest of the world gets to see your talent!

"First of all, I just want to tell you how profoundly you have changed Robin's life with her glorious new smile. She looks and feels fabulous and for a young girl that really means a lot. You did a ridiculously great job, as always, and we are so very grateful for your artistry, and "bedside" manner. I thank you, Robin thanks you. Thank you. The teeth are spectacular! "

"Dr. Golub-Evans is not only a warm and friendly person, but he is a true artist. He turned my yellow child like teeth into a mature and radiant smile. He carefully listened to every one of my requests and gave me a smile more perfect for my face than I ever could have imagined. I feel more confident than I ever have in my life and I can't stop smiling. I am truly grateful."

"You have got such beautiful teeth," is the compliment I get most. People might compliment you in a different fashion with various motivations, but this one is the most common and genuine one I get. "They are so white, gleaming---just perfect," and I always respond, with a huge smile of course, that "I am just lucky, thank you." But, I leave out that I'm lucky to have the best dentist, my honored Dr. Golub!"

"Dr. Golub is the most talented and accomplished cosmetic dentist I have found. He really improved my smile and confidence. He is clearly an artistic dental genius and he will be the only cosmetic dentist in the world for me. Dr. Golub, please let me thank you for the following reasons:
Your enthusiasm
Your confidence
Your patience
Your attention to detail
Your sensitivity
Your drive for perfection
Your easy nature
The staff you work with
There's one thing for sure, with every happy smile I have you to thank."

"After a long battle with an illness that began from tooth infection, I needed and wanted a new smile to celebrate my full recuperation. Thankfully, my daughter recommended me to one of the best cosmetic dental teams in NYC.  Both Dr. Golub-Evans and Dr. Layliev took on my case, developed a plan and in a couple of months, I had a beautiful white smile that was not only aesthetically perfect for the shape of my face but they also guaranteed my oral health.  They are true professionals and artists and I will be eternally grateful to them for giving me a beautiful smile that will last a lifetime."

"I was just writing to thank you again for the great job you did with bonding my teeth and at the same time changing my life. For years I've been trying to find a easier solution to the under bite I've been born with, but the solution that dentists have given me is to wear braces for years and have a surgery performed which involves breaking my jaw and replacing it to correct the bite. I'm actually not THAT uncomfortable with the under bite to undergo such a drastic procedure; but the bite has caused my teeth to basically be very out of place. The combination of the under bite and crooked teeth has caused me to be very self conscious about my smile and the thought of surgery I felt was not an option because I feel that re-arranging your jaw through surgery was a very big, severe step that was unnecessary. My mother called your office a few months ago and explained my situation to a very helpful and caring secretary, who said she would personally tell you my situation and let us know if anything could be done before coming in for an appointment. We then came to your office for a consultation and you very enthusiastically approached my situation and took the challenge to bond and basically "fix" my teeth appearance without the need of braces and surgery. I was VERY excited and couldn't wait for the procedure. The procedure went over better than I ever expected. It was unbelievable. You basically fixed any kind of insecurity I have about my teeth. My confidence sky-rocketed and I almost immediately moved to Atlanta, where I received a new job from being unemployed, and am registered for college in the fall. I have a craving to be as successful as I can be because of all the years of letting insecurities hold me back, and now I am myself, just with a huge boost of motivation and confidence that can't be denied. Overall, I just wanted to thank you so much. I don't know HOW you did it, but you did it very well and I promise I will get the most out of my new confidence as I can. Thanks so much Dr. Golub and I hope that everything goes great with you too."

"It was unlike any other dental office from the very first time I walked in to NYCCD. From the paintings on the walls to the exceptionally attentive staff and, of course, Dr. Layliev, who created a sense of partnership on a road to success rather than your routine doctor-patient relationship. All of it proved to make a difference when I look at myself in a mirror today. I do have a great smile and am reminded of that everyday by complements from people who knew me beforehand and others who didn't. The results are truly beyond expectations. Thank you Dr. Layliev and thank you all at NYCCD! I know it is going to sound like a cliché but you are changing my life in a very exciting way...Thank you! Really!"

"I consider myself extremely discerning about appearances, so I was nervous about having work done on my teeth. But Dr. Layliev quickly earned my complete trust. Not only is he extremely meticulous, thorough and diligent, he is a true artist, who made sure even my temporary veneers looked impeccable. He’s also just a sweet, warm-hearted person who always took time to address my questions or concerns and never rushed or cut corners to make my smile absolutely perfect--and it is!! Dr. Layliev--thank you for all your hard work!"

"I came to Dr. Layliev several months before my wedding desperately hoping that he could somehow do what three years of braces couldn't. I assumed it would take months to get my teeth even close to picture-ready. Wrong! In four visits, my teeth were perfect. I still have trouble believing it. Dr. Layliev has a calming ease about him that made visits a pleasure and his ardent insistence on perfection made me feel as though he were working not on my teeth, but his own. Not only did Dr. Layliev close the previously triumphant front gap; but he also remedied three years of dental neglect, created a guard to help me stop grinding my teeth at night, and gave me a take-home whitening kit so I could freshen up right before the wedding. It's almost inconceivable how quickly and attentively he addressed every issue and his intuition was always spot-on. My teeth are gorgeous a nd I feel confident going into the big day. Thank you, Dr. Layliev."

"I would like to sincerely express my gratitude to Dr. Layliev who performed numerous procedures for me. Whether it was a routine visit or an emergency he was always available for me. Being a perfectionist myself I can confidently say that the work that Dr. Layliev did was excellent. His knowledge and kindness have made working with him a pleasure. I would not hesitate to recommend him!"

"I am writing you today because I would like to share the experience that I've had with your partner, Dr. Emanuel Layliev. I found his work to be quite meticulous and I found him to be quite talented and professional. I was extremely satisfied and I would recommend him to my family and friends... You have a very talented new member to your team, which reflects on the great reputation that the New York Center for Cosmetic Dentistry already has... "

Dr. Golub, thank you for giving me the smile I've always wanted! It couldn't be any better!!! Best wishes, as always, to you and your family. Carol, teacher, New York
