Jeffrey Katz, D.D.S.

Need someone to keep your smile in shape? The dentist down the block can take care of most of it in one spot. Jeffrey Katz, D.D.S. fits the bill: fillings to cleanings to check-ups that don’t require a bus ride into the city. Regular visits here mean less work down the line.

If you’re already in Fresh Meadows, you can swing by the office without circling the block. The address is 69-31 164th St, right where the subway exits start to thin out. Most patients park once and stay for the whole visit, no detours.

You can usually get through on the first try by calling (718) 380-3559, whether it’s to lock in a hygiene session or ask about those nagging molars. They keep a few same-day slots open when cancellations pop up.

Head south on Main Street, hop on the Belt Parkway if traffic isn’t brutal. Paste the directions into your phone and roll up five minutes early.
