List of Smile Design Studio Of Hyde Park's Reviews
Recently had a crown and filling with Dr. Minkowski (who also made the referral for a root canal). Strongly recommend Dr. Minkowski: she was professional, efficient, friendly, and highly competent. My new favorite dentist.
Staff rude laughed at me on the phone
I’m so grateful for the referral that led me to Smile Design Studio of Hyde Park! Dr. Louis Kaufman and his team truly made me feel heard and cared for from the moment I walked in. They take the time to listen and tailor treatment to your needs. It’s rare to find a dental team so genuine and dedicated to helping you achieve your best smile. I highly recommend them! 😁
I was impressed with my first visit.
I have been a patient for decades and have always received exceptional care.
Please stay away from this dental care. I went a couple of times (always on time) to check for a crown and a wisdom tooth. They suddenly without explanation after I had paid for all the scans and checkup terminated the relationship as the letter below without a single word of explanation. This is proper mistreatment to receive all this money for scans and then decide not to treat me without a single word of explanation. They might have realized they were at capacity but they should have realized this before starting treatment. Stay away please
So grateful for having found Smile Design Studio of Hyde Park. Everyone makes my experience there so pleasant. They are professional and so accommodating.
Amazing place, so kind and welcoming. They are very understanding and helpful.
I've been a patient here for many years. The dental hygienist is great, and so is the dentist. I had a cleaning on November 6, 2025. At the end of the appointment, I was told that my charge was $ 0 since I assumed that annual dental visits were fully covered by my insurance. On January 9th, 2026, I received an email to pay $162.00. Then, on January 13th, I got another email saying my balance was now $167, which included a $5 late fee. This isn't the first time I've had billing issues. in addition, they want, you to pay a service fee for using a credit card. Who carries that much cash to pay a dentist's bill?
Very Friendly, helpful, kind and accommodating

All the information you see here is based on our analysis of internet reviews across the seven major review platforms most used by consumers during their healthcare provider selection. The platforms we selected are Google, WebMD, Yelp, HealthGrades, Facebook, RateMDs, and Vitals. The analysis algorithm uses the compiled data of average score, recency of reviews, number of reviews, and the sentiment expressed in the written comments. It then assigns weight to each parameter based on the available research on how consumers use reviews in their doctor selection process.
