Dr. Litvinov is a very compassionate dentist, especially if you have anxiety surrounding dental…read moreprocedures. He asked me exactly what caused my anxiety and then decided to divide up services into 2 appointments in order to get me in and out as quickly as possible. As long as you communicate what you need and what you are uncomfortable with, Dr. Litvinov will make sure he addresses your concerns. In addition, this is not an office that is buzzing with a ton of people. I love that it is in an intimate setting (his office is attached to his home), and that he is the only dentist there. When I was there, there were a total of 3-4 people there at all times. This provides a calmer experience. In addition, I went to this same office as a child and saw the dentist who was here before him--I never should have left! He is fabulous. Oh! And his admin--Judy--is super friendly and helpful. If you have been looking for a dentist to help you feel at ease in the chair, go see Dr. Litvinov! Just make sure you communicate enough so he can help you. Good luck!

It is unfortunate that I am in both the insurance related and geographical position where I have to…read moreattend this business. The head dentist is a fine practitioner and he does a good job in the rare event you can see him. However, I give the business one star due to absolutely terrible wait times for general appointments (in excess of six months), and the demeanor of the staff. I will note that this office is in Penfield, NY, not the "City of Rocheter". I understand that they take lower levels of insurance but the operation of the business is antithetical to just about any sort of professional operation I have known in the area. Being a patient at this office is an experience in line with visiting the department of social services and dealing with somebody very forceful. I mean that both in the way they will try to force you into services you may not want or need and in the brute physical sense. The hygienists I have seen all struck me as completely rude and abusive. After visiting the office it is very clear that they DO NOT CARE about YOU AT ALL. If you need your teeth serviced they will do it and run the check as high as they can. Depending on the interface you may leave feeling like you left a welfare interview. You will step out of the doors to look at Pefield Road.

Their answer - YOU call every day and see if there is an opening. I paid via credit card at the end of each appointment. Yet a week later I would get a bill in the mail. Again - had to call in to fix issue. Had a problem during NY lock down. Talk to my dentist, said I would be on the short list when they opened again. Had to call again (they never call me...) in early June. Pain was a 7/10 at this point. Their answer? They can book me at the end of July. 4 dentists over 2 offices and they couldn't fit me in. Called another dentist in Penfield. Got in next day. Day after that had work done to fix the problem. Very disappointed in Unity Dental. Would definitely NOT recommend them...

They try to charge you 100.00 all the time for whatever is the reason of the day.

Save yourself time and go elsewhere.

These ladies bring levity to the office and it's a pleasure to be a patient. Also she squeezed me in for a small job after I told her I was leaving town for a week and wanted to look my best. Also, the receptionist Suzie, is a doll too, friendly and efficient! Now onto the con, there is a receptionist there who was talking so loud that I could not hear Suzie, while she was making an an appointment for me. She should modulate, especially in a dr. office.

Dr. O'Keefe stopped in and was his usual self! Talked hockey and jokes were made. I did miss his humor and gentle touch dealing with my tooth that's needing some work.

In addition to the office being so welcoming, the work that has been done in my own mouth (cleanings, fillings, crowns) has been exceptional, as evidenced by my Periodontist's remarks on how meticulous they are. I absolutely recommend Lucia Family Dentistry to anyone looking for a new dental office. I wish I had found them sooner!

Using her words they tried to scare her into getting her bridgework fixed that a previous dentist said actually looked great and did not need anything. Personally, I've never had a problem with this dentist. Their staff has always been friendly. The only "bad" experience I can say I had is the one time they tried to persuade me into getting a guard for teeth grinding. It wasn't covered under my insurance at the time and I decided to pass on it. They weren't pushy or anything, but I do feel the recommendation was not fully honest because a) I don't see grind marks on my teeth like they say are there and b) I don't experience headaches or issues with my teeth. I have some receding gums due to genetics that does not cause me issues due to using sensitive toothpaste and soft toothbrushes. I will be looking for a new dentist based on my mother's experience. Dentists should not try to scare their patients into getting unneccessary work done.
