    This dental office was recommended by a friend a few years ago, when our former provider stopped…read moreaccepting private insurance. We are very happy here. The staff here is friendly and professional. The hygienists are excellent - Ali, Tabitha, and Christalyn come to mind as standouts. I really love Dr. Austin who takes time to explain procedures and dental health, and who is also really gentle and fantastic with kids. In additional to routine cleaning, I have required additional dental procedures done (e.g. crown filling) and I was very happy with the results. Front desk staff Jill and Jodi are also lovely -- they have alerted me when I have credits on my account, and it is always a smooth process whenever we arrive for appointments or have to deal with billing. I also love that I feel no pressure to follow up on referrals, procedures, and additional services suggested. Overall, this office is professional and personable when dealing with patients' dental health.

    We've always received excellent dental care from Riccobene, but their billing process has been…read morefrustrating. Their billing department uses high pressure tactics to collect outstanding balances that resulted because they did not properly file insurance claims. For example, when my wife called for an appointment due to a toothache, Riccobene initially said they would not schedule the appointment unless my wife paid an outstanding balance. She reminded them about our insurance and a week later we got confirmation from the insurance company that they paid Riccobene and that we do not owe anything. I have also gotten collection notices from Riccobene, but when I called and asked they had not filed the insurance claims. This sort of thing happens often, and they are now asking patients to leave a credit card on file so they can charge it without our knowing. After many years of dealing with this we are fed up and plan to seek out a new dentist. it is a shame because their dental services are very good.

    My daughter was a patient here for several years. I will preface this review by saying my daughter…read moregot along well with each of the dentists she saw over the years and they seemed to have good rapport with her. I have no doubt that the cleanings she received were good. Hence, 3 stars instead of 1. I held off on writing this review, but my daughter has seen multiple dentists now and I feel it might help other patients. We had a billing error after our first visit as they'd submitted the wrong code to our insurance and then tried billing us directly over and over for a cleaning, which was covered by our insurance. I wasted hours of my time on the phone with both Riccobene and our insurance. I even had a 3-way call with our insurance company and Riccobene to get it settled. I'd been told the issue had been fixed, but I kept receiving bills in the mail. It was extremely frustrating, but it was a mistake- which happens sometimes- so we stayed with the office. I started getting rubbed the wrong way by Riccobene during 2020 with the up-charge for PPE during the pandemic, which by comparison to other dentists, was well in excess of what other offices in the area were charging (as discovered in a discussion on NextDoor). It was annoying, but maybe just a sign of the times, and that wasn't enough to deter me from the office even after the billing error, so we stayed a few more years. Perhaps this started to generally sway my perception of the office as a money-grab, though. It was at my daughter's final visit that I really started to question the practice. After my daughter had been seen, I was told that she had some cavities. As a late teen, she'd never had a single cavity before, but I didn't necessarily doubt the possibility of a cavity or two. We would have been paying out of pocket for the fillings, which according to their invoice, would have been just shy of $700 (all out of pocket expense since it was not covered by our insurance). They were fully aware of this because they stated that our insurance wouldn't be covering it and the expense would be out of pocket. It was when we checked out after the appointment that things started feeling off and I got an uneasy feeling. It felt a whole lot like we just walked into a used car sales lot with an aggressive sales team that was really pushing us to schedule the fillings immediately. It gave me such a bad feeling that I decided to hold off on scheduling the fillings. Instead, I went with my gut and I got a second opinion at a different dental office. My daughter has been seen at two different dentist offices since then and she's been seen every 6 months. One visit was the same week we'd been seen at Riccobene. I've never heard of cavities magically disappearing, especially within a few days, but according to the other offices, she did not have any cavities then and she still does not have any cavities. I left the office after that last visit with Riccobene feeling like they were aggressively trying to charge us out of pocket to fill cavities that perhaps didn't even exist. After being seen elsewhere, I feel it more strongly about it. I'm very glad I didn't schedule the fillings on the spot or pay the ~$700 out of pocket while being pressured to do so. Perhaps it was an accidental misdiagnosis (per cavity), but if you're paying out of pocket and things don't feel right, I'd suggest asking for solid proof of the issues or getting a second opinion elsewhere before moving forward. I'm glad I did.

    I scheduled a new patient appointment with Riccobene because my former dentist no longer takes…read moreAetna advantage insurance. First of all, Riccobene required mounds of paperwork and then once an appointment was finally scheduled, they inundated me with texts, emails and phone calls about confirming my appointment which I did the first time. I had made it clear to the office that I only have x-rays every few years because of a past scare with thyroid cancer. When I arrived at my appointment, they told me that my x-rays of two years were too old and they would not be able to do anything, including cleaning my teeth without a whole new panel. It was very obvious to me that this practice is only concerned about making dollars. I absolutely do not recommend them.
