Dr. Rawle F. Philbert, DDS

Dental care in the South Bronx doesn’t have to mean a trek downtown. Dr. Rawle F. Philbert, DDS offers general and preventive dentistry right on East 149th Street, where routine checkups and fillings share the schedule with more involved work like extractions and crowns. The office sits between the hub of Third Avenue and the quieter residential blocks near St. Mary’s Park—easy to reach whether you’re coming from the 2/5 trains or the Bx19 bus. No frills, just the basics: cleanings, X-rays, and the occasional emergency visit when a tooth decides to act up at the worst possible moment.

Appointments here keep things simple—no spa-like promises, just the standard fare of fillings, dentures, and the inevitable lecture about flossing. The address, 234 E 149th St, puts it a short walk from the vibrant murals of the neighborhood and the steady hum of local bodegas. Questions about availability or procedures? The phone’s the quickest route: (718) 579-5957. For first-timers, the map confirms what locals already know—this stretch of the Bronx moves at its own pace, and the dentist’s office fits right in.
