Frances D.

I have been a patient of Dr.First for over 40 years. I first saw him in his office in Long Beach. I was very afraid of dentists. But Dr. First immediately, put me at ease. I wanted veneers. He did them for me and they came out beautiful. He continued to take good care of my teeth. About 15 years ago I became very ill. I was not able to go to him. I called him and told him the problem. He told me to come in. I went in and he and his helpful staff made it very easy and comfortable for me. He then implanted teeth in my mouth. The procedure was very easy. During this entire time he consulted with me and informed me of everything. The result is a very satisfied customer.I would recommend Dr. First to anyone that wants a highly qualified and highly professional dentist.

I’d like to introduce Dr Samuel First who is a competent and concerned Dentist specializing in Implants and cosmetic surgery. His gentle approach in his diagnostic procedure where he explains to his patients, in simple terms, in order for each patient to understand their problems. I personally have been a patient of Dr First for over 15 years, and credit him and his hygienist with the exceptional health of my teeth and gums Dr First recently came to the Manorhaven Senior center where he explained the importance of dental hygiene including daily brushing and flossing. He also offered each person, about 35, a complimentary exam and free X-rays making them aware of their immediate needs.

Dr Samuel First is a general and cosmetic dentist . He is an amazing professional. Dr. First is a knowledgeable and extremely skilled, gentle dentist who does it all. Right now Dr. First is just completing my fourth implant and my mouth looks and feels great. He explains all procedures and constantly checks on how I'm doing. He is a perfectionist who works until he and I are satisfied. This past week Dr.First bonded my two front teeth and they look so fantastic!!! I can't stop smiling and looking at them. When I came home from his office yesterday my family commented that I looked so much younger due to my beautiful white teeth. I travel from the east end of Long Island to Merrick because of his expertise. The entire staff at Dr.First's office is caring and helpful. They all make you feel welcome as soon as you enter the office. I highly recommend Dr. First for all your general or cosmetic procedures.

I don’t write reviews but I felt compelled to write this one because I could have been taken advantage. But with doctor First, it seems like the people came FIRST!

Dr. First is an amazing dentist, I have had several procedures all with precision and care. He is more than competent, he is caring and I have had minimum, if any, discomfort which is unheard of. The office is relaxing and calming for those who have trepidation for a dental experience. I would certainly recommend Dr. First for all dental needs.. He is the best.

Marie B.

Excellent and honest, actually cares about the health of his patients teeth as opposed to many others whom will think nothing of ruining or even extracting perfectly fine teeth just to make more money. I trust him 100 percent he is one of the last few not caught up in the big pharma of the dental industry.
