    2/28 I had an amazing experience at this dental office! From the moment I walked in, Vee at the front desk was so welcoming and helpful. Alex, the dental assistant, made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the process. And Dr. Derek was incredible--thorough, gentle, and truly caring. They took such great care of me that I'm coming back tomorrow! Highly recommend this team! 3/1 Of course, I had to come back! Today, I was helped by Magly, who made me feel so at ease. Honestly, I'm so glad I switched dentists--this team is amazing. Already looking forward to my next visit next month. Totally recommend!

    This Morning I called in for really bad tooth pain they got me an appointment right away. I was seen by Dr.Derick. I am a very nervous dental patient from previous experiences else where. He gave me a lot of information and calmed me down. This is the first ever tooth extraction that I didn't feel a thing. And let me just say he is a very funny guy. I would highly recommend him! The two ladies at the front desk were super sweet and I appreciate them explaining everything to me.

    Accolades for exceptional service

My husband had a root canal performed by Dr. Stephen Ferraro, and the experience was incredible. He was so comfortable during the procedure that he actually fell asleep! If you've ever been nervous about getting a root canal, this should tell you everything you need to know about Dr. Ferraro's skill and gentle approach. The reason I'm writing this review today, though, is because we received a check in the mail for an overpayment we had made. They could have easily kept the money, and we never would have known the difference. Instead, Dr. Ferraro and his staff took the time to identify the overpayment and proactively mail us a refund. In a world where honesty and integrity can be hard to find, that level of ethics speaks volumes. Not only did we receive exceptional dental care, but we were also treated with kindness, professionalism, and complete honesty from everyone in the office. Thank you, Dr. Ferraro and your wonderful staff, for going above and beyond. We truly appreciate your outstanding care and your integrity. We highly recommend your practice to anyone looking for an endodontist they can trust.

I told them I could not afford it and pleaded for help with my pain. The doctor did not even introduce himself and immediately jumped into a sales pitch for a consultation. After all of that, they told me I would have to wait over an hour because the doctor was working on other patients. They offered me absolutely nothing to help ease my pain while I waited.
