I was incredibly impressed by the team at Gowanus Dental. For a year, I was aware of them from being involved in the 8th Street Block Association and had heard only positive things.

Over the summer, I had ongoing mild tooth pain in a molar with a filling that had popped out, but I didn't address it because I am afraid of dentists and go to the dentist on an as-absolutely-necessary basis. (The first time I had a cavity filled, I felt way more than I should have and am lightly traumatized by the experience). One night in September, my tooth suddenly became a source of 9/10 pain; I couldn't think straight it was so painful. The next morning, it was clear I needed emergency dental work. I called Gowanus Dental, and despite that I was not a current patient, they saw me immediately (as in, within 20 minutes, and that was the time it took me to get out the door).

I was incredibly nervous and acted very skittish, and their staff was so warm and kind to me. Dr. Tarasenko was wonderful. He told me I wouldn't feel a thing, and I didn't believe him, but he was right: I didn't feel a thing. The tooth was out within 40 minutes of arriving and within an hour of calling them! They even texted me the next day-- a Saturday!-- to make sure I was doing well.

I am now considerably less afraid of dentists. Three cheers to Gowanus Dental.

Leaving them only because I moved far away, but for a while I was commuting an hour just to go to Dr Tarasenko! Great dentist, super friendly and professional, can’t recommend enough. Scheduling was always super easy as well and they were flexible for last-minute emergencies.

My first visit to Dr. Tarasenko was a pleasant experience. My dental hygienist Sylwia gave me a very thorough dental cleaning. The Gowanus Dental clinic has the latest modern dental equipment and the staff are very helpful and friendly.I also had two fillings done on my molars by Dr. Tarensko today. He
was very fast and efficient. He's very experienced and I trust his skills. Cool guy too. Nice free swag.

2024: As someone who is chronically ill and sees specialists constantly, going to this dentist is the only time I'm not anxious at all. I still look forward to my appointments even after all these years because everyone there is so sweet and understanding.

2017: This sounds odd about going to see the dentist but I have to say how much I love going to this office. The staff is so caring and friendly and Dr Illya always goes above and beyond with your care and explaining everything step by step. It always feels like family when I'm there. I remember the first time I went to his office for a routine cleaning because it's been a while and the x-ray showed that I needed to have my wisdom teeth removed (I've been putting that off for a long LONG time!). He did the procedure same day and it was painless. They were also kind enough to provide me with their cell number in case I had any questions after hours or needed anything over the weekend. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place!

There is no better dentist in NYC. I had a completely positive experience from the appointment process to the several procedures done. Not to mention the kindness and warmth form the staff. Dr Tarasenko has hands of an angel. I had three wisdom teeth removed on the same day. The doctor removed my first tooth I did not even realize the tooth was out until it was in his hands. The doctor explains everything step by step as he is doing it so that you feel comfortable at all times. What a godsend. Thank you Gowanus dental for such an awesome experience ,and thank you to the team and especially Lauren for being so attentive . 5 stars is not enough to encompass your greatness !!!!!!!!

This is the best dentist office you’ll ever go to. It is clean, consists of a knowledgeable & friendly staff, organized, accessible via phone, email AND text, and provides patients with an overall calming experience. I also have never had to wait here. As soon as I arrive I am escorted right to a room and chair.

I just had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed. I’m a relatively anxious person when it comes to needles and “surgery” type procedures. Dr. Illya made me comfortable, confident and ensured I’d be in an out in no time. And in fact, he was right! There was very little pain, I was in and out in 40 minutes, and was provided clear instructions on recovery. Very thankful for Dr. Illya and his staff for being the best dentist office in all of NYC! If you’re a Brooklyn local and looking for a dentist, your search ends here.

Gowanus Dental is truly the best dentist's office I've ever been to, and I'm so lucky it's so close to home (even though I'd travel to it even if it wasn't)!

I've always been terrified of the dentist, but Dr. Tarasenko and his staff are so professional and calming. Yesterday, I had 2 wisdom teeth removed, which I'd been dreading for months. The team was able to put me at ease, and I'm so glad I went through with it. Night and day between my first extraction experience and this one!

Would highly recommend Gowanus Dental to everyone in the area.
