I went for a deep cleaning, wisdom tooth removal, and a broken tooth extraction. They were so sweet. My heart rate and BP was spiking and they literally talked me down so I can go under anesthesia safety and my surgery was done in less than an hour. Great anesthesia by the way! I remember checking to see if I can still feel my fingers and then waking up when it was done. 10/10 staff. Gave me great instructions and I am two days post op with no pain and no signs of infection

This was my first time visiting and they didn’t disappoint. Everyone was so kind and sweet. Dr Rizzo was very sweet too. Looking forward to having my dental work completed. I even told my husband that he would feel so comfortable and that he would love Dr. Rizzo too.

Probably couldnt ask for a better experience. I have extremely high anxiety and thats doubled when it comes to my teeth and the dentist. I was definitely probably somewhat of a problem for them just because i was so relentless about them touching my teeth but they were all so sweet and patient with me they did everything they could to make me feel comfortable as i was actually freaking out they were very thoughtful about my requests for them to be gentle and they didnt make me feel uncomfortable or bad for being a basketcase it took a while for them to get through what should probably take like 30 minutes took them like an hour but through it all they kept up with the genuine good comfort and hospitality will continue to go here

This was my first time here. I just came for a check up and cleaning. Everyone was so polite and nice. Ms. Anne was an awesome and super sweet hygienist as well and took good care of me!
