I want to really commend the team at Bluffside and Dr Gianelli. (Dr G.) Every time I go in there, they are more than accommodating when I go in there. They make sure that I am alright and try very hard to squeeze me in in a timely manner if I need quicker service. I strongly recommend even if she is a Cub's fan! LOL I love my new smile! Thanks again!

I was very impressed with the excellent and comprehensive care provided by Dr. Carolyn Giannelli, DDS. She explained findings of my X-rays in detail and showed me areas where calculus was deposited. Dr. Giannelli also encouraged me to ask my PCP to refer me for a sleep study to assess whether I had sleep apnea. I will return on 11/19 for a thorough teeth cleaning with one of the dental hygienists.
In addition to her competency in the field of dentistry, Dr. Giannelli has wonderful people skills and has a down to earth communication style. Thank you for this positive experience in patient care!

Great dentistry. The work is of good quality and there is great transparency about what the workers are doing and how your teeth are. Everyone is very friendly and the environment is very comfortable. 10/10 recommend.

Dr. G and her staff are always very professional and efficient. They always make treatment decisions with the patient's best interest as the top priority. They are also always very friendly both to the patients and each other which provides a low stress environment for everyone.

Dr. Gianelli at Bluffsides Smiles Dental has been my dentist for many years and has always provided excellent dental care for me. She has filled cavities, given me several tooth crowns (pain free I might add) and provided me good dental guidance. Their hygienists on staff have been excellent with my teeth cleanings every 6 months.
I would highly recommend them for dental care services.
