Although I didn't fall asleep during my root canal, it was a pleasant experience. I'm a fairly new patient and find all the staff to be delightful and respectful.

Had an wonderful visit to the Capalbo Dental Team. All the staff with their outstanding professionalism, courteous manner, and overall concern for the patient's well-being. Never felt rushed or distracted. So many times in the past the dentist was doing 10 things at once; but nor at Capalbo. I had their complete and undivided attention, all the while I was in the chair. Kelley was awesome the entire time I was in her care. if I have any issues, problems or concerns, I know they are there to help.

I have been going to Capalbo Dental for the past several years. I have to say that Dr. Michael Capalbo is among the best dentists I have experienced. I have TMJ which makes it very difficult to work on me, but he is fast and precise. My recent crowns were an exact snap-in fit, so kudos to the lab they use as well.
