Can't say enough good things about this office and it's staff! Everyone is so pleasant and professional. The office is clean and inviting. Dr. Manduzzi is thorough and informative. They worked around my busy schedule and even got me in sooner than originally planned to address more time sensitive care. I'm so thankful I found them!

I don't think I could do justice to explaining how amazing my experience was. Not only did they go above and beyond to get me scheduled earlier than ANY other practice could but I've never been more comfortable while in the chair, no pain, quick and easy and my family and I are definitely going here from now on.

I was referred to Dr Manduzzi for an emergency appointment because my normal dentist was out of town. I get nervous when I have to go to another dentist. However, from the the first phone call to the time I left the appointment I was treated just like one of their patients. Everyone was so welcoming and made me feel safe and comfortable. It's nice to know that I have a dentist I can to turn to in case of another emergency. I would not hesitate for a second if I needed to return to Dr. Manduzzi and his amazingly friendly staff. He also did a GREAT job on the tooth!

The hygienists here are so kind, and caring. They are easy to chat with throughout the appointment and do a great job of getting patients in and out on time. In fact, a number of my appointments have taken less time because they do such a wonderful job at getting X-Rays and doing the exam. I highly recommend Dr.Manduzzi's office!

First review: I am going to make this simple and meaningful. I wish I could find Dr. Manduza and his wonderful team 30 years ago. Team is extremely friendly and professional. Second review: After google reviews, I was very excited on my first few visits. No doubt Dr. Manduzzi, Gabbie, and Sam are awesome. Due to previous bad experiences with other dentists, I clearly told them, I don't want any surprise bills. Discuss with them the possible costs for service. I had a missing tooth for 20 years. Never feel like for implant due to the cost. Dr. Manduzzi gave me an estimate of 1500 dollars after insurance covers before any work was done. After 1st visit for the implant procedure, I paid around 1000 dollars. I asked the front desk, "I thought I had to pay 1500 dollars". In response to that, the front desk said, the rest will be collected around 250 dollars after the implant process is done. Amount jumped from 250 to 600 without any notice or logical explanation. In June I had to change my insurance plan. Before changing insurance, I called the office of Dr. Manduzzi and asked will there be any impact on my implant process financially. I was told I will be OK with switching from Aetna to Delta Dental. So I switched. When it was time to put the implant, the price went up from 250 to 600 to 1200 dollars. I was told 1200 is the final remaining balance I have to pay. I was very surprised by the new price. I paid the full amount and asked them to remove my entire family from their account. Dr Manduzzi himself and I went through the cost and process before the process and I agreed. When the process is done, Dr did not talk anything about the price increase. Dr. Is directly involved with billing matters with patients knowingly I was getting upset with the price increase. I felt like I've been scammed. I simply could not make them understand this is not ok. Previously I left 5 stars first few visits. My finger is not letting me click on the 5 stars this time. I did some research. Did you know that 9 out of 10 bills have errors in the USA?
