Dr. Carbone's credentials are impeccable. He is a graduate of the U. Penn. school of dentistry. He must have been at the top of his class. He runs a one-man shop and does an incredibly good job. He pulled a tooth. When I asked if he planned to use anesthesia, he showed me the tooth; it was already out, and I'd never felt anything. Recently he recommended a root canal, bemoaning the fact that I hadn't come in for my regular cleaning 6 months earlier; clearly he believed that he could have prevented the root canal. That I had a knee replacement then didn't matter because Dr. Carbone focused on the dentistry; he was even sorrier about the root canal than I. He studied the X-ray in depth before making his recommendation. Jeff W.'s recommendation is exactly right. Dr. Carbone is as good as it gets. read more
