I am a pretty methodical person so when I found myself in need of a pretty expensive procedure, I approached it the way I approach most expensive purchases, I scheduled a few different consultations to see who seemed most capable for the job and also who I personally connect with best. One of them was with Dr. Carlo.
I found his office by searching in Apple Maps. I typed in "dentist" and I looked within a few mile radius of my home. Dr. Carlo happens to be less than a mile from my home. Perfect!!
His office was able to get me in for an appointment within a few days which was nice because some places I called were scheduling months out. Yikes. I can't wait that long.
I was directed to their website and instructed to download, print, and fill out the forms needed for my first appointment (dental/general health history, patient financial responsibility agreements, etc). Done.
The day before the appointment I received a call from the receptionist reminding me of the appointment and to make sure I'd been able to print the forms from the website. I appreciated the thoroughness of that.
The day of my visit I arrived an hour early due to a misunderstanding on my part. Rather than go home and come back, I decided to wait there. No big deal.
The waiting room was clean and welcoming. I liked the way it was decorated and the procedure for check-in was pleasant.
Dr. Carlo saw me right away (once it was actually time for my appointment, lol) and he was very knowledgeable. He was kind and seemed nice, and I did leave feeling confident in his abilities. Also, price-wise he was actually on the lower end of all the estimates I received. That's a plus!!
However, I do feel you should be aware that he is a very fast talker. I'm originally from the Los Angeles area so I talk pretty fast. But this guy puts me to shame LOL. In a way it made me feel like I was being rushed and I think that, in part at least, ultimately contributed to me not selecting him for the needed procedure.
Personally he wasn't a good fit for me but I would and will still recommend him to others. read more
