Dr. Frank Castanaro

Most dental offices in Yonkers cluster around the downtown core, but Dr. Frank Castanaro operates just north of the city’s busiest stretches, where Broadway meets the quieter edges of the neighborhood. This isn’t a practice tucked into a high-rise or a strip mall—it’s a standalone dentist’s office handling everything from routine cleanings to fillings and crowns. The location at 970 N Broadway puts it within easy reach of both local residents and those coming from nearby Riverdale or Van Cortlandt Park, though you’d never guess its proximity to the highway noise just a block away.

Dental work isn’t the kind of service people seek out for ambiance, and the Google listing reflects that: a perfect 5.0 rating, though based on just three reviews. That kind of feedback suggests either a small but satisfied patient base or a practice that flies under the radar, handling appointments without the fanfare of social media campaigns or referral incentives. The focus here appears to be on the work itself—exams, extractions, perhaps the occasional emergency visit—rather than the frills that some larger chains use to draw in crowds.

Yonkers has no shortage of dental options, but the ones that stick around tend to be the ones that keep things simple. No membership tiers, no loyalty programs, just a phone number to call when you need an appointment: (914) 964-9500. It’s the kind of place you’d bookmark for a second opinion or a last-minute slot, assuming they’ve got one open. The lack of a flashy website or promotional photos might deter some, but for others, that’s the whole point—no upsells, no unnecessary upscale branding, just the basics done without fuss.

If you’re mapping it out, the office sits between the Yonkers Raceway and the more residential pockets of Northwest Yonkers. The directions are straightforward, though you’ll want to double-check the address against the map—some older GPS systems still misplace North Broadway by a block or two. No grand entrance, no valets, just a dental practice where the priority seems to be the work, not the experience of getting there.
