This was my first visit to the practice and I was greeted by an upbeat and personable staff. All the staff made sure I was taken care of and had me laughing so much with all their witty humor! Going to dental practices seems to be gloomy but Dr. Almeida's office will brighten up your day completely! The environment here wants to make me always have to go to the dentist!

I wasn't a patient of theirs but I was trying to be a new patient and I broke my tooth and they would not even take me in they said we don't have any openings till September that's totally wrong I would assume they would've saw an emergency and it's not like I didn't have dental insurance

Excellent service and quality care! I don't have anything to compare with because I've been with them forever but they are there for me when I need them the most. They got me right in and within a couple of hours took care of my problem, saved my day and gave me a piece of mind!

Dr. Almeida and her entire staff are as good as it gets! They are kind, compassionate and always listen to any concerns you have with your dental health. You will be greeted by the girls at the front desk, who are always cheerful and helpful when navigating scheduling and insurance. The hygenists are skilled and gentle in their care and Dr. Almeida will immediately put you at ease with her knowledge and advice. The practice has all of the most current technology at hand - when I needed a tooth repaired, I was thrilled to be told that they could do in-house 3-D mapping of my natural tooth and had the equipment to get that newly modelled replacement piece in place during the same appointment! What a gift! Give them a call - you won't be disappointed!

My first visit my experience from beginning to end was amazing. The front desk staff greeted me with a smile and was very informative. Christina was amazing. I can't say enough about Dr. Almeida she was caring and listened to my concerns and made me feel like I've known her for years. Her expertise in dentistry is astounding. I've always feared dentists because of past experiences this is the first dental office and dentist that I can truly say that I'm looking forward to having dental visits with. Thank you for all you do for your patients !! I would give 10 stars if I could !

Dr Almeida was highly recommended to me by an Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon . She is kind, gentle and explains everything she is doing or has to do. She listens to her patients needs . If it was not for Dr. Almeida and her professionalism I do not know what would have happened to me. I have been going to her for a long time now and would recommend her. Dr. Almeida and her staff are very respectful and considerate.

Love Dr. Almeida and staff! Have been going there with my kids since she started with Dr. Tannenbaum. She has since taken over and has grown the practice to a really lovely place to go every 6 months.

Dr. Almeida and her staff were so amazing and compassionate. You can clearly tell they love what they do! My first visit was so pleasant and Dr. Almeida and her assistant took their time and explained everything they were doing, and always kept asking if I had any questions. I felt very comforable and felt my dental care was in great hands.

Great as usual! Some people dread going to dentists! But this office offers friendly staff, technicians and of course Dr Almedia( chosen by Dr Tannenbaum ) to take this practice to a modern level of oral care
