Dr. Greg Goran Stoici was born in Timisoara, Romania in 1977. His family immigrated to the U.S. in 1983 due to the hardships of communism. His family lived for a time in Chicago, IL, then Ann Arbor, MI, and finally Pittsburgh, PA, where he completed high school. Most of his summers were spent in Romania working with his grandparent on a farm. Romania went through a democratic revolution in 1989. He was accepted in the dental school of the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned his doctorate degree in dentistry. After practicing dentistry in Philadelphia for a few years and the birth of his first son, he visited Sarasota and St. Petersburg and fell in love with the tropical environment. He and his family moved to St. Petersburg in 2009 and fell in love with the Old Northeast part of the city, where they purchased a home in 2010.
In 2013 our second son was born, and we love living here. We go to the beach on Sunday afternoons to play in the sand and water, and watch the sunset. We love going to the parks, riding our bikes to downtown for ice cream, or strolling through the city. Looking back through the years, I would have never guessed I would be living here doing what I love doing, which is helping people in the ways only a dentist can. I am truly thankful.
Originally from Fairfax, Virginia, Dr. Cristofano graduated dental school from VCU/Medical College of Virginia in 1995. Her and her family moved to Florida in 2007 and have loved it ever since.

She is an avid traveler and has visited more than 30 countries and 4 continents. Dr. Cristofano enjoys snowboarding, paddle boarding rock climbing, skeet shooting, diving, baking and woodworking. In her downtime, Dr. Cristofano loves to curl up with a good book and hot cup of coffee. All other times, she enjoys spending time with her family and my 4 grand fur babies.

The staff are simply amazing! Given that a dentist visit is not a favorite time for most people, this office clearly strives to make it as stress-free as possible. This was my 1st visit and I felt like I was at home and was treated like a long-time patient! The office was extremely clean and everything was explained clearly to the tiniest detail in the billing. Kudos to the TV in the individual rooms, such a bonus. Looking forward to my next visit!

Very comfortable and welcoming. I was nervous since it had been a while since my last visit to the dentist, and they made the visit a lot less stressful. They went over everything with me that they were doing and what they had done afterwards. I would recommend Advanced Dental Arts of New Port Richey!

I have had my first visit to Advanced Dental Arts and will return. My main reason for visiting was a teeth cleaning. I had a great experience with Jackie the hygienist. I have high dental anxiety, and she is so patient. She listens and communicates authentically. She is very pleasant. I have trust and confidence in her skills. I'm very happy to have her as my hygienist. I had only a brief interaction with Dr. Stoici, but he is polite and professional. The front staff is very nice and welcoming as well.

I am 59 yrs old, & I have n-e-v-e-r met a dentist who literally works on my mouth & is totally "pain free". He will put an injection in ur mouth, & you will never feel it! I kid you not! Ask for Dr. Stoicy. He has hands of butter!

I was very disappointed by this place. All they seem to care about is how much money they can get. They were quick to let me know what my insurance wouldn't cover, and that was the only option they were willing to do for my dental situation. No compromise at all - very disappointing.

My husband Harold Swafford had MAJOR DENTAL ISSUES AND WAS TERRIFIED OF DENTIST! I on the other hand have had many dental procedures and Dr Stolci and his staff are AMAZING, they explain every step so the patient can understand and make you feel like part of their family! January,Lisa, and Coryn are sweethearts, very professional, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE TO PLEASE CALL THEIR OFFICE FOR PRICING and services (amazing and they have financing) except insurance ( my husband and I are on United Health Dual Complete) they got our authorizations the same day and my husband has the most amazing beautiful dentures I've ever seen! Can't wait for my new plates... rating 10

I am PURELY rating this place based on their customer service, please do not use this review as a reference for their other services provided. The person who answered the phone was rather rude when I tried to ask for the price (I later learned that only dentist can give the estimated cost based on the examination from another dentist practice with nicer customer service). She was nice and happy when she first pick up the phone , but her voice dropped immediately and started giving me the arrogant and pessimistic attitude as soon as I start asking for the price. It was so obvious, it's like she did not even try to hide it. She did, however, got really happy when we finished our conversion. It was like riding a roller coster with this person's attitude. I did got an estimated price from her at the end. I just hope that whoever is answering the phone call can be nicer ( I mean real nice, not fake nice) to new patients who want to check out the new place first. This place seem like a really nice place based on the reviews, but that one part of customer service could use some improvement. I am not sure if it's the same person that answer the phone for this place. I am ONLY writing this review based on my experience on that day with that one particular person (I cannot recall her name).
