    My wife and I have been seeing Tim Garofolo for at least ten years now and he really is the best dentist I have ever seen.

    Let's be honest... no one wakes up excited for a deep gum cleaning. It's uncomfortable, and there…read morewere moments I was gripping the chair. But Dr. Nina and her staff are ahhhh-mazing. She's kind, reassuring, and didn't dismiss my fears. She took the time to answer every question and made sure I was okay. The follow-ups afterward were just as impressive. I needed a crown at the second appointment. They knocked everything out in one visit. No temporary crown, no coming back, no extra hassle. I'll happily trade an extra hour for having to rearrange my schedule for a second appointment. A huge shout-out to the front office staff. Instead of just running my insurance (and credit card!) and calling it a day, they actually worked to find the most cost effective option for me. The fact they played the "Insurance Game" (which is the worst game ever invented) shows that they care. The office is clean and incredibly organized. Scheduling was easy, and despite being a busy practice, everything felt well run. A couple of minor drawbacks: they're definitely on the pricier side, but I truly think the quality of care and convenience justify it. Also, the treatment areas are separated by dividers instead of walls, so if the person next to you is giving their life story to the hygienist... congratulations, you're part of the conversation too. It creates a busier atmosphere and doesn't offer as much privacy as a traditional office. TLDR: Yes. This is the place you want to go.

    Amazing staff and they are all so good at what they do. Double crown today went so smoothly and…read morepainlessly. They took great care of me and my choppers Cheers!

Then I was seen by a dentist , she sat down next to me , introduced herself but not pleasant. She looked at my x ray , I have one tooth that bothering me and may need extraction. She turned to me without saying open my mouth, she was holding a mirror and flip my lips with the mirror . She looked and said my crown all needed to be change. She advised me to have a tooth extraction and left . No one stayed even the dental asst. Waited for 15 min wondering what comes next . The front desk person came in and said lets discuss the payment. Got up and went to front desk with a bib attached to me. Charging me 1200 for bone graft and other charges I really dont need. Worst thing , they will not pull my teeth without a bone graft . Where is patient rights? When I said bone graft doesn't really cost that much , he bargained with me to 800 $. I totally lost my interest , I felt like Im dealing with a sales person in which health clinic shouldn't be this way. Its hard to find a good dentist nowadays.

Unfortunately, since Dr. Raymond Wright took over my care, my experience has changed dramatically. My biggest concern is his lack of communication and bedside manner. During multiple visits regarding ongoing pain in a tooth, I felt dismissed, interrupted, and unheard. Rather than listening to my concerns and working collaboratively to identify the cause of the pain, I was repeatedly told, "There's nothing else I can do." At one point, he even blamed me for not bringing up a concern that I had, in fact, already tried to explain. The issue began after he replaced some resin on the side of a tooth to address sensitivity. The pain continued, and my bite felt noticeably off afterward. When I returned for a cleaning and to discuss the ongoing discomfort, he seemed uninterested in investigating the issue. He suggested the bite problem was caused by grinding or clenching, despite no history of those issues and no evidence of wear on my other teeth. He then stated that I would need additional imaging or a referral to a periodontist, only to once again conclude that there was nothing else he could do. What was most frustrating was the inconsistency. After repeatedly saying there were no options, he later suggested replacing a partial filling on the very tooth that was causing the problem. If that was a possible solution, why wasn't it part of the conversation from the beginning? Adding to my disappointment, my routine cleaning was performed by Dr. Wright rather than the hygienist and lasted only a few minutes. My teeth honestly did not feel cleaned, polished, or cared for in the way I have come to expect from this office over the years. The front office staff and hygienists have always been kind and professional, which makes this review difficult to write. However, after multiple appointments where I felt dismissed rather than cared for, I have decided to seek dental care elsewhere. My advice to prospective patients is simple: be prepared to strongly advocate for yourself. Ask questions, push for explanations, and make sure your concerns are fully heard. Unfortunately, that was not my experience.
