Zoc Doc Reviews
Great bedside manner, explained everything he was doing and tried to ease my jitters! Definitely recommended!
I hadn't been to a dentist in several years and had a lot of anxiety about it, but Dr. Wilges really assuaged my fears and didn't lecture me. The practice is bright and clean, and the whole experience was very pleasant.
Yelp Reviews
One of the best dental experiences I've ever had. Super modern office, super friendly receptionist, knowledgeable doctor, and reasonable prices for Manhattan. I look forward to my next visit in 6 months.
I recently went to Dr. Wilges for some fillings, a cleaning and bleaching- He was awesome! First off, his office was sleek and modern. His staff was extremely friendly and made me feel at ease. Dr. Wilges had a very gentle touch and made me feel comfortable the whole time as I am somewhat of a jittery dental patient. All the dental chairs were equipped with TV's so you could watch and relax while getting your dental work done. I will most definitely be referring friends to him- 5 stars all the way!
