Heejoo Pyon, DDS

Highly recommend, Dr. Pyon is very personable and knowledgeable. I went to get a cleaning and was very satisfied, she took her time and made me feel comfortable. I really liked that she explained my treatment plan in a way that was easy to understand. Not to forget about her staff who where very accommodating. Ildar was very helpful and clarified all my payment questions.
It is very important for me to feel like I am in good hands, which I was. Once I stepped into the exam room Yari, the assistant, took my x-​ray and was very patient with me. Overall my experience with Dr. Pyon and her staff was pleasant and satisfying. I will definitely recommend friends and family members.

Highly recommend. Extremely transparent on all insurance questions. Great technology. Super accommodating from the moment you walk in, even let me pick TV channel to watch while doing the cleaning. Staff was great as well

It was a highly recommendable experience. Dr. Pyon explained the procedures and the co pay costs upfront. I recommend.

wonderful dentist! i get pretty anxious when i have to get dental work done, but she was very professional and incredibly nice. made me feel very at ease and talked me through everything she was doing. i would definitely recommend going to see her!

Had a great experience with Dr. Pyon. Office is clean and uses modern technology including a laptop to register and file paperwork. Front office is friendly and easy to deal with. She is professional and efficient when it comes to the cleaning and consultation. I have used her for my general dental cleanings for the past few years and will continue to recommend her to friends. Overall, a great dentist in the Manhattan area and I have been to a variety of offices!!!

I have been reading Unilocal reviews since the company’s inception in late 2004, but very rarely am I inspired to write a review myself. In fact, this is only the 3^rd one I’ve ever written. However, after visiting with Dr. Pyon twice over the past month, I feel it necessary to publicize the fact that she is far and away the most professional, skilled, and trustworthy dentist I have ever worked with. Allow me to explain why I feel this way, and why I have solicited Dr. Pyon to be the dentist for every employee in my company (I run a consulting company with a staff of 20+).
I come from a family of doctors. Almost everyone in my immediate family is a master surgeon, clinician, scientist or MD of some sort. From a young age, I have been taught to inquire about any medical procedure being performed on me in painstaking detail. Before meeting Dr. Pyon, I met and rejected 5 dentists who were unable to demonstrate their knowledge to me sufficiently. One of them is a Fifth Avenue celebrity dentist who has a 6-​month waiting list and charged me $ 400/​visit (no insurance accepted). Still not good enough. When I met Dr. Pyon for a consultation, not only was she extremely knowledgeable, she patiently tolerated my barrage of questions, answering calmly and precisely. It was clear to me from that moment on that if I ever became anxious in the chair during a procedure, she would provide the serenity I needed.
I eventually met Dr. Pyon for x-​rays, a cleaning, and a teeth-​whitening procedure. All were extraordinarily painless and quick. When it comes to pain tolerance, I am about as fragile as an adult child of alcoholic parents, so do not take my description lightly. In addition, the entire visit from the time you enter her office until your departure is as brief as possible. Dr. Pyon has the most modern check-​in service, equipment, and works very efficiently/​effectively. She is NOT one of those dentists who has their assistant do half the work or one who leaves you in the room alone for 10 minutes while he calls the cleaners to see if his suit is ready. Dr. Pyon gives you her undivided attention. She also followed up with me within 24 hours of each of my visits and made herself accessible through phone and email.
Finally, over the past 20 years, I have had 10+ fillings, 8 teeth extractions, braces, retainer work, 1 root canal, and countless x-​rays and cleanings. My only regret is that I didn’t meet Dr. Pyon sooner. As you may have gathered by now, I am a notoriously selective and discerning individual, especially when it comes to health care. Suffice to say, if Dr. Pyon passes my hyper-​critical assessment, she will pass damn near everyone else’s. I would not be surprised if she was the dentist that other dentists trusted with their teef. Save your valuable time. Don’t call anyone else. Make an appointment with Dr. Pyon immediately.

After taking a two year sabbatical from dental care (or is it three years?), I went to visit Dr. Pyon. I’m not gonna lie — Chris L from Battery Park City is pretty much spot on. What a great dentist!
Please don’t judge me, but so far, I’ve gotten a pulpotomy, a couple fillings, a cap (to complete a root canal), and an Invisalign consultation. All of these treatments were performed with minimal discomfort. Plus, during each of my visits, Dr. Pyon allowed me to play my own music via Spotify, a huge benefit for those who don’t want to hear Top 40 while they are getting pulpotimized.
After going to Dr. Pyon, I have absolutely no tooth sensitivity anymore, and my cap feels just like my real tooth used to, except without the bacterial decay. Also, I’m looking forward to finally getting Invisalign.
On a serious note, Dr. Pyon is an outstanding dentist who made me feel comfortable at all times. It also meant a lot that she followed up with me after each of my procedures and was extremely responsive to every question that I emailed her.
I’m positive that if your teeth aren’t as jacked up as mine were, you probably would still receive the quality service that I was provided. But if you’ve been a little lax with the homecare … make an appointment ASAP and don’t be scurred about going to Dr. Pyon.

My coworker recommended Dr. Pyon to me. Even though I work downtown it is easy to get to from most subway lines. I was very impressed with Dr. Pyon’s attention to detail and knowledge.
For many, going to the dentist can be such a painful experience that they don’t even go in for bi-​annual check-​ups. I went in to have a few filling redone and it was so comfortable I actually feel asleep in the chair while she took out the old filling and replaced it with a higher quality filling.
Pros:
–Explains in detail about what she is doing. My other dentist, just come in and do their work without explaining what they are doing and what you might be doing wrong so you never learn from your mistake.
–The visit was 100% with the actual dentist and not some assistant.
–Flexible office hours
Con:
–Drills. I hate drills… I need to do a better job with my teeth to avoid it! But with that being said I still fell asleep
I highly recommend and I will be going back soon to do a whitening!
