I had a whole childhood of traumatic dentist experiences that caused some serious adult rebellion…read moreof me sticking it to the man by just not going to the dentist for a decade in my 20s. I eventually paid the piper for that one, and since that time, I've realized that the key to me not avoiding the dentist and taking care of my teeth the way I know I should is finding a person that intuitively adheres to trauma-informed principles of care: respects/believes patients, explains what they're going to do and when, communicates safety clearly, etc. I had a great dentist in NYC and then COVID happened and then we moved to NJ and yeah, I've been delaying finding a new dentist for, um, mumblesfouryearscough. I knew it was time to establish care here and I knew a whole boatload of 5 star Yelp reviews wouldn't lie. First off, my intake paperwork asked me what I was looking for / what was most important to me in a dentist. Then it asked if there was any accommodation I might need to feel more comfortable. Then it asked my anxiety level on a scale of 1-10. No one has ever asked me this before. On the day of my visit, having given this much thought, I decided to let my freak flag fly and asked my hygienist if I could just keep the xray apron on for my whole cleaning. If she batted an eyelash, I didn't notice, and me and my weighted blanket snuggled in for an excellent polish. Well, it turns out I had a cavity. Made an appointment to go back to have it filled. Considered asking for an Rx for a single valium, but decided against it. I was brought into a room that seemed to date to a revolutionary war time period visually, but with modern technology. THE CHAIR MASSAGED ME. Dr. Kim explained what he was going to do, showing me my xray once more, numbed me up, removed my old filling and fixed up my cavity in like, 6 minutes. I don't know if it was the ambiance of the room, the chair massage, Dr. Kim's evident competence, or the acoustic Bruno Mars song playing, but I did not feel I had been locked out of heaven. To the contrary, this was an excellent experience. If you are afraid of the dentist, this is the place for you.

I had been going to this dentistry for the entirety of my teenage and adult years, moved out of state two years ago but hadn't decided on a new dentist yet so when visiting family almost a year ago, early spring time 2025 I booked back to back days, one for cleaning + X-rays the next for any cavities that may need to be handled. I came in first day for cleaning got that all done. Found cavities okay cool come in the next day to get them filled. Nope they tell me that day was booked for me for a second cleaning or something? Tell me to come back in a week or two which is obviously not easily possible as I live a 5 hour plane flight away now. I book a trip for a few months later in June and booked for all 3 cavities to be done with them. I come in and this time I'm seen by the woman doctor, can't remember her name. Too annoyed to look it up now. She tells me she doesn't have time for all three which is kinda insane because I booked for this you know months ago. She tells me she'll do 2 and I can come back in a few days for the other one. I tell her no girlboss I'm getting on a plane tomorrow morning and you guys were supposed to do this months ago. She begins the cavities, drills down, literally leaves the room for 30-45+ mins and I'm just there with my mouth open for a long time. She seems extremely distracted and rushed. She "finishes" the cavities and I'm sent out. Essentially because she was rushing so much she did not properly scoop out the entire cavity and covered it so it continued to rot and infect downwards to my nerves. My mouth hurts so much. It doesn't stop hurting. I call two weeks later asking why one specific tooth hurts so bad and they just tell me my gums are irritated and I'll be fine. I've broken bones, had surgeries, dealt with pain before but this was different. This was debilitating to the point of not being able to move or speak. Soon after I go on vacation to some islands. Snorkeling, going on planes frequently, my tooth is in insane pain I can't even open my mouth to breathe the air hurts my tooth. Imagine spending thousands for a nice vacation and not even being able to eat ice cream and waking up every single day in terrible pain. I return home and immediately see a dentist in the town I now live in and they do X-rays, tell me I need a root canal. This is in August 2025 at this point. I get it done, flash forward to late February 2026 and I still cannot eat on the right side of my mouth. The tooth will not calm down and I'm told there's likely small fractures in the tooth that can't be picked up on X-ray and I have to go to a specialist and probably need it removed and an implant now. So if you truly care about your health and want your teeth to stay in your skull and not wastes thousands of dollars, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Dr. Cecilio Po is fantastic! This was my second visit for Botox, and once again I had a great…read moreexperience. I was nervous about trying Botox again because my first experience elsewhere was negative, but after speaking with Dr. Cecilio, I felt comfortable giving it another try. He explained everything clearly and helped identify the areas that truly needed treatment instead of overdoing it. He is extremely gentle, precise, and clearly very experienced. He focuses on natural-looking results, which I really appreciated. I also had a full-body fractional laser treatment to address fine wrinkles and sun damage. After only three weeks, my skin already looks smoother, brighter, and healthier, and my sunspots have faded significantly. Since results continue to improve over the next several months, I'm excited to see the final outcome. I highly recommend Dr. Cecilio Po if you're considering Botox or laser treatments.

The office itself is very clean, smells great, and all of the equipment and furniture look modern. There is plenty of parking, and I didn't have to wait long at all, which was a huge plus. I absolutely loved Anthony, the dentist. He was incredibly attentive, informative, and had a great sense of humor that made the visit comfortable and stress-free. I also had two extractions done, and he made the entire process go very smoothly with bare minimum pain. The doctor was on top of everything from start to finish and provided all the necessities and clear post-op instructions, which made me feel well taken care of. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone looking for a positive dental experience.

I just couldn't believe it. When he told me he was done, I said to him.. " shut up-no way". I felt a little pressure but it wasn't pain. I just had to let you guys know that if you're in the West Caldwell area- don't even think twice, make an appointment. His staff is absolutely wonderful. They are so kind. Karlene is a jack of all trades and Karolina the girl who clean my teeth was so sweet- she was funny and she did a great job. All the ladies in the office are so helpful and friendly. January 8, 2025 ***I was looking for a new dentist - after a conversation with my dear friend, Roxie, she said- she loves her dentist. So I made an appointment and I went. I was very impressed. His office is spotless. The parking is easy and his office equipment is State Of Art. And he's one of the few dentist offices today that still has a sink and fills up a little paper cup for you. My last two dentist didn't have that. Maybe it's psychological, but I need to be able to spit after he works in my mouth. I don't like that little plastic suction gadget that sucks your whole mouth. I would definitely recommend him. And, I must say his prices are much better than the dentist I had in Florham Park and his staff was nothing like Dr. Castellano's staff- they smiled and greet you the minute you walk in.

To make things worse, when I asked to speak to the doctor to discuss her behavior the doctor told me "You're not the first one who is complaining about her but it's hard to find employees so we can't do much about it" I will not be getting my treatment from this office or recommending this office to anyone who expects to be treated with basic courtesy and respect.

What really ruined me on this place was that I requested my fillings be done with silver amalgam as is my preference. They only do composite resin here, which is fine. They can operate in any way they please. However the receptionist then gave me a long lecture on how composite resin will poison me with heavy mental toxicity and is extremely dangerous. That's just misinformation (as per the AMA: http://www.ada.org/en/about-the-ada/ada-positions-policies-and-statements/statement-on-dental-amalgam).

As for Dr. David, he was so professional and conscientious. He explained my issue and showed me the x-rays on the large tv screen. He also explained his process step by step which made me very comfortable. He was also walking me through things while he was working on my tooth then he showed me before/after X-rays. This process was as close to pain free as one could get for a root canal. I was even allowed to control the suction device the entire time!
