Awesome staff that gives you full attention start to finish while in their office. I believe they all really care about the service they give. I went in for a basic check and cleaning but felt special to them that I was in their care.

Our family has had the pleasure of being under the care of Dr. Riforgiate and his wonderful staff for over 30 years. They always take the time to listen and provide the best care. Dr. Riforgiate has called us in the evening to make sure we are well after more in-depth dental procedures. They're the best!
