I've been a patient of Dr. Marilyn Amaral since around 1999, and our story is one I'll never…read moreforget. I found her wallet on the street outside a restaurant, met with her to return it, and she handed me her business card. I decided to give her practice a try... and I have never looked back.
For over two decades, Dr. Amaral and her team have provided the kind of dental care people hope to find but rarely do. She is incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, honest, and truly cares about her patients' comfort and long-term oral health. Her office is always clean, welcoming, organized, and run with professionalism and warmth.
I recommend her to everyone who asks for a great dentist, and she has never failed anyone I've sent her way.
Today, after being away longer than I should have between visits, I returned and was so happy to see that her daughter, Nicole, has joined the practice. Seeing them work together is wonderful. Nicole carries the same kindness, attention to detail, and patient-first approach that made me trust this office from day one.
I also have to mention Sandy, the hygienist, who is truly amazing. Her care goes far beyond a routine cleaning. She takes the time to teach, explain, and genuinely help you understand the importance of flossing and proper dental hygiene. She does it with so much patience, encouragement, and zero judgment. You can feel how much she truly cares about your health and wants you to succeed in maintaining it.
If you are looking for a dentist who is:
* Gentle and patient
* Honest and trustworthy (no unnecessary work!)
* Extremely knowledgeable and up to date
* Caring and attentive
* Punctual and respectful of your time
* Supported by a friendly, professional staff
* Focused on prevention and long-term dental health
This is the place.
I am so grateful for a chance encounter all those years ago that led me to the best dental care I could ask for. Thank you, Dr. Amaral, Nicole, and Sandy, for continuing to take such amazing care of me and so many others.
