Everyone here is so kind, the bed side manner is impeccable, and everyone is extremely knowledgeable. They are thoughtful about advising you on what they believe you truly need for health reasons vs what is additive and less of an immediate need. They are also very helpful in navigating insurance and with cost transparency.

Literally had a blast at the dentist. I am staying at an AirBnB and this was the place closest to me; I am bummed this won't be my dentist office moving forward.Everyone is kind and generous of spirit. It was like a free comedy show with your cleaning - Kristi is a trip!! So funny and also incredibly knowledgeable, she dropped some wisdom about oral health that I can't believe no dentist has ever shared to date. And my teeth looked incredible. The practice also has a great process in place. You fill out the paperwork beforehand so once you get there everything is already set. FANTASTIC dentist.

Please do not make an appointment with their hygienist, Rosette. I've seen my fair share of hygienist and all she did was briefly use a water jet and polish. She did not even touch any of the teeth from the outside through the "cleaning". That's not what I call a professional cleaning. Rosette is quite difficult when it comes to patient care too, I was gagging from the excess water in my mouth and instead of helping, she scolds me 'Don't breathe from your mouth please!' I'm pretty certain I swallowed a lot of the liquid from the water spray she used because she couldn't be bothered to remove the buildup. She was rude and curt and did not communicate at all throughout the process. Only awarding them two stars because the facility itself is decent and the non-medical staff were nice. (Although they too did not reply to my email regarding my experience Update: Have heard from the owner since, unclear what changes were made since) Please be warned.

From new patient on-boarding to COVID protocol and then the actual procedures - everything and everyone was efficient, professional and thorough. All the positive reviews that I had heard about prior to my visit were true. A wonderful local practice!

Dr. Gangi is an outstanding dentist with a kind, easygoing demeanor and friendly "bedside manner." He is among the top Invisalign experts in the country and gives great service and offers discounted pricing for Invisalign (due to his exceptional volume). Comfortable office in a leafy, prime Brooklyn neighborhood near the F train. I'm picky with dentists and frankly I'm quick to criticize them; it took me some time to find Bococa Dental and wish I'd found them sooner. Dr. Gangi and his staff are professional, accommodating and will do right by you, regardless of your needs.

I had been looking for a new dentist -- one who was kind, skilled, took my insurance and was local (to Cobble Hill) -- I was coming off of a VERY bad experience with another dentist in the area. That's when friends recommended Bococa Dental -- and right at that moment I had a dental emergency. And boy, did Bococa deliver. They are WONDERFUL -- the dentists, the front office, the woman who then did my cleaning (Kristi) -- They were thoughtful, polite, efficient, and SO expert in what they did. My dental emergency was an offshoot of something I've been dealing with for a while and they handled it so well and so quickly -- I am WOW'ed by them
