Everyone in the office is very nice. All of my questions or answered in detail. Questions I hadn't…read moreeven thought to ask or answered. Although this is my regular dentist, they were very understanding when I went to a different dentist for a service they did not provide.

I called to schedule a second appointment for a teeth cleaning. The front office receptionist…read moreinformed me that my account was deactivated, the system was down, preventing reactivation, and there were no available appointments for two months. When I inquired why my account was deactivated, she stated it was because I was upset about the cost of fillings and had said I wouldn't return. This is not accurate. During my first visit, I received a full-mouth X-ray and a teeth cleaning from a dentist (not Dr. Avanzato). The dentist reviewed the X-rays, said everything looked good, and recommended a return visit in six months. Before leaving the exam room, I asked about fillings to address a gap in my upper teeth due to receding gums. The dentist directed me to the front desk, where I received a quote that seemed exorbitant. I mentioned that my previous dentist had billed my insurance plan and co-pay for significantly less and indicated I wouldn't get the work done there. The receptionist was not present during my consultation with the dentist. Despite my corrections, the receptionist continued to claim I had refused treatment. I ended the conversation because it was unproductive. After this, I decided not to return to the practice and went to retrieve my dental records. The receptionist claimed she had already emailed a copy of my records and mailed a letter on the same day of my service. I never received either. She again insisted I needed two fillings, which I hadn't requested. I asked her to just send me the records. Later that day, I received an email with a copy of my X-rays and a note that a duplicate letter had been mailed. Two days later, I received a letter, dated the day of my service, stating that I would be better served by seeking another dentist due to a breakdown in the doctor-patient relationship. I had already decided to seek another dentist, but this situation makes me question who makes decisions at this practice, the dentist or the receptionist, who seemed to be providing misleading and inaccurate information.

I have been a patient at this practice for nearly 11 years, and my daughter has been coming here…read morejust as long. The office is always spotless, well-run, and equipped with modern technology, which makes every visit feel efficient and up to date. The hygienists are fantastic - experienced, thorough, and consistently the same familiar faces over the years, which says a lot about the practice and the culture. I also completed Invisalign here and felt well cared for throughout the process. Dr. Cardo and Dr. Olivieira are the kind of dentists you hope to find: warm, patient, and genuinely attentive. They explain things clearly, never rush, and they're refreshingly thoughtful in their approach. If something seems minor, they're willing to monitor it and see whether it resolves instead of immediately pushing treatment just to bill insurance. That level of integrity is rare. On a personal note, years ago I lost my husband in a tragedy that was covered publicly in the news. At my next routine visit, they had a plant waiting for me. I will never forget that kindness. I recommend this practice without hesitation - professional, modern, compassionate care from a team that truly remembers and values their patients.

IF YOU HAVE ANY FEARS OF DENTIST YOU MUST COME HERE Cristina Oliveira has been my dentist for over…read moretwo decades Ive never had a bad experience. Her gentle demeanor, and touch when working is refreshing and reassuring. Your informed of what she's gonna do before she starts always checking to see if your feeling any pain and makes sure your pain free, I've found the practice from a co-worker and it's been a blessing the people are very professional,knowledgeable and courteous when they take you on as a patient you've become Family. Never had any pain after any work was done they always follow up with after treatment if it's needed. This is the in my opinion, the perfect place for anyone to go they have any phobias or anxieties of dentist. This is the place you won't be disappointed.

The endodontist here is downright rude and has absolutely no bedside manner. I came in for an…read moreevaluation for a root canal and was visibly nervous -- shaking, anxious, and walking with a cane. I clearly expressed my anxiety and asked about sedation or gas because I believed a root canal was oral surgery. Her response was dismissive: she said it's "only given to patients with anxiety," while I was near tears and nauseous from anxiety. When I stated I was feeling anxiety and would pay for the sedation, she said they weren't equipped and didn't have it. During the numbing process, she was hurting me and repeatedly misrepresented what I was saying. I was trying to explain that the area was not numb enough to proceed because I could still feel sensation when my tongue touched the area -- not that my tongue itself wasn't numb. Instead of listening, she snapped at me and said, "You're so sensitive!" Yes -- I was anxious, in pain, and scared. That's the point. She also repeatedly made me stand to rinse and spit, which might be fine for most patients, but I was walking with a cane. Bending over a small sink was difficult and slow, yet she showed zero patience. At one point, while I was rinsing, she looked at me with visible disgust and said in a malicious, condescending tone, "You can use the napkins, you know -- they're right there." I was humiliated. She lectured me for being "uninformed," and when I tried to explain my misunderstanding, she became even more hostile. She kept starting and stopping the procedure, repeatedly asking in a threatening tone, "Do you want me to do this or not?" By then, my anxiety had been completely escalated by her, and I no longer trusted her to work on me. I left with a partially numb mouth. I immediately found another endodontist who was kind, professional, and was also a lot more thorough. I also contacted the dentist who referred me to her. I made it clear that she threw him under the bus regarding the filling that caused the nerve inflammation, and that her behavior was rude, unkind, and condescending. I also told her directly that part of her job is to guide and calm patients -- not belittle, intimidate, and escalate fear. This woman should not be working with patients. She is cold, abrasive, and completely lacking compassion. I genuinely don't know how the other two lovely women in the office tolerate her miserable demeanor. Avoid at all costs.
