Dr. Laurence A. Turoff, DDS

How many dentists can you name that sit directly across from Central Park. Dr. Laurence A. Turoff, DDS occupies the ground-floor storefront at 25 Central Park West, a stretch where the park’s green canopy meets the sidewalk and Manhattan’s routine pauses for a breath.

The practice handles the usual roster of dental care—cleanings, exams, restorative work—while the neighborhood hums with joggers, dog-walkers, and the occasional horse-drawn carriage. A restroom is available on-site, a small courtesy that spares patients an extra stop before or after the appointment. The address places you between the Museum of Natural History and the Dakota, so it’s easy to pair a visit with other errands or a stroll along the park’s western edge.

When it’s time to book, keep the number handy: (212) 333-2027. Calls are answered during office hours, and the staff can confirm availability without the back-and-forth of online forms. The Upper West Side’s density means parking is never guaranteed, but the subway and bus lines drop you within a block or two.
