As a graduate of Broome Community College, she enjoys learning and contributing to the team at Dr. Grasso's office. When she is not at work, she enjoys spending time with her family and her dog, Xena.
I guess that 's because I love to learn... and I always learn something new about my health as it relates to my dental health when I 'm at Dr. Grasso 's. My last visit there was no exception. The hygienist and I were talking about the importance of flossing... not an unusual subject when you 're sitting in that chair. And then she said something that changed the way I think about flossing forever. She said 'I don 't lecture people about it. I just say 'Floss the teeth you want to keep.'
I jokingly said, 'So if I want to keep my front teeth, I 'd better floss them, right?' She laughed and said, 'Absolutely. Pick the teeth you want to keep and floss them. Don 't bother about the ones you won 't miss.'
So if you 're like most of us who either aren 't consistent with flossing, or are a little careless, or if you have kids that are... don 't bother with the lectures. Simply tell them the truth: 'Floss the Teeth You Want to Keep!'

Very concern, they took time to explain in detail the options of my needs. That is very important when it comes to your mouth.

Was able to get appointment very quickly. The entire staff is very nice and very professional. If I wasn't loyal to my dentist of over 15 years, I would not hesitate to become a regular patient of Dr. Grasso's practice.

Just went, and what I find I value most with Dr. Grasso and his staff is their consistency. They show kindness, compassion, care, great attitudes, promptness, knowledge, and especially camaraderie every time, whether I'm there in person or on the phone. I won't go anywhere else.

Nothing but love at Dr. Grasso's office. He and his team give % all the time. Never has going to the Dentist been an easier experience. They are professional, patient and friendly. The best part is you'll leave the office feeling good with the best smile ever. Book a cleaning with Kari soon.

As a family we have gone to see Dr. Grasso three times and have had wonderful experiences. My two and a half year old looks forward to it, and even cried when she thought for a moment she wasn't coming. Kari is a really great hygienist. She does a beautiful job answering questions thoughtfully, and caring for children through the whole experience. One of my favorite things about this office is that I have never felt like I'm being pressured into or 'sold' any unnecessary service or procedure. I cannot say the same for many dentists.

As always....this "white knuckled" patient was treated with kindness and respect by Dr. Grasso and his team. They make a person feel as though they are the most importnat person in the room. Their work is stellar and top notch! I would highly recommend Dr. Grasso to anyone and especially anyone who stresses about dental work!

I have always had the best experiences with Dr. Grasso and his team. I was a patient of his practice when I was in college, and recently came back after moving back to the area. I am so glad they were able to take me again as a patient. Currently doing Invisalign treatment, and everyone has been so helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.
