Love taking my kids to Dr Frizzo. He is great with both of them. Honest when they need guidance on what they are not doing well. He talks to the about all sorts of adventures and the kids enjoy it.

I love Dr.Frizzo's office so much! My daughter has been going there for the last 6 years!! The staff is awesome, Dr. Frizzo always explains everything to me and anytime we need in the receptionist Cheri (she's AMAZING) gets us right in. Also when I needed help getting my daughters insurance information (from her dads side) she went above and beyond getting all the information I needed and sent it to me!! Dr. Frizzo is AMAZING and in last 6 years we have NEVER had any problems with them!! My daughter loves going to her appointments there and it's always a good experience!! They are awesome!!

My experience there with my 3 year old was very unpleasant. The doctor never even said a word to her or tried to comfort her. He basically expected me to hold her down while he forced her to do what he wanted (which was basically nothing). My daughter needed quite a bit of work done. The quote he gave me after insurance was $3700. I went to another pediatric dentist and the experience didn't even compare. They were awesome with h her and got all the same work done for $720 and with no hospital visit. So glad I went somewhere else.

Got my son in asap and his work was wonderful. To the point and does everything he can to make sure the kids are comfortable. Update: Got all 4 of my kids in together for a dental check up. Quick and thorough and not a huge wait to get things scheduled to fix.

Went here to get a tooth extraction for my 4 year old daughter. When we first got there, shortly after the apointment started we were taken into the doctor's office and the reviewed how the procedure would go. I was with my soon to be ex wife (non related to incident, still good friends). Fizzo was extremely un professional. While he was talking telling us how the procedure would go, he only addressed my child's mother even though I was sitting in the room right next to her. I dont believe he looked at or spoke to me the entire time. Once we were given the medicine our daughter had a bit of a fit taking it at first. Roughly 30 seconds into being reluctant to take it he said, "if shes not going to take it our only option is to have ME hold her down and force her to drink it". Me and my ex looked at each other practically in disbelief, which gave yet his first red flag, though I didnt think much of it but it adds to the overall experience with what else happened. As our little girls parents we both let him know we were going to try a bit more before rushing into forcing her, furthering the experience being traumatizing. Within minute or two stops our daughter had all of it consumed and we were asked to wait 45 minutes for it to take effect. Just before leaving the room he asked my child's mother if she had any questions. ignoring the fact I'm in the room, so I sighed at how bluntly disrespectful he was being. He THEN asked if I had any questions. I'm not sure if his problems was I mentioned his fact, "only 3 out of 10 kids have trouble at the dentist" was hard to believe or what. After which our daughter needed xrays. She fussed some what with the insert that needed to be placed in her mouth. But me as her father said a few calm words and she got the first few x Ray's done rather easily. I believe it was the last x ray they struggled with, the side her bad tooth was on. Although she needed a filling on the other. When the assistant couldn't get her to take the insert after MAYBE 2 or 3 quick tries, no more then a FULL MINUTE later she calls for fizzo and ask for his assistance. He consulted yet again, only my child's mother whom was in the waiting room even though I was back there with our daughter, about forcing the x Ray's. Giving the unltimatium of having her put to sleep at the hospital to proceed if my childs mother didnt agree. He then pretty well rushed into the room and pried her mouth open with the retractor immediately. Without consulting me, her father. Nor letting either of us speak to her and try to calm or sooth her. Our daughter screamed repeatedly VERY very loud and frantically, over and over again. For WHAT, you might ask? Because he was yet again, rushing the procedure and entire apointment. 2nd red flag, furthing his lack of professionalism. Once the x Ray's were completed he yet again for the THIRD TIME ADRESSED ONLY MY CHILDS MOTHER! Stating that the x ray showed a few caps that needed to be done on top of the procedure. Also that "were best off/most likely going to have to do the procedure at the hospital". Meaning he tried telling her that our choice to do the nitrous oxide (CLEARLY THE SAFEST PROCEDURE) was practically not an option at this point. My child's mother told me what he said, to which I respond to her loud enough for them to hear that we definitely not doing that and they should just do their job in a more professional manner. Third red flag, he chose to attempt strong arming my ex into believing having our daughter put to sleep with anestisia was the only way. Which is clearly FAR MORE DANGEROUS then nitrous oxide. So to some it up he is unprofessional by not addressing both parents during an appointment, multiple times. He is unprofessional because he attempts to do procedures outside of the client's choosing. He is unprofessional because he rushes to get everything done to were it not only WILL give you a VERY bad experience but traumitizes your child. Will never go back and will be leaving reviews everywhere possible.

My 5 year old little boy had to have caps put on his teeth yesterday. He did very good and has some pain. That's normal considering all the work he had done. As of today my little boy is doing good. Still has a little discomfort but doing good. He hasn't had any fever or vomiting nor nausea. The staff was wonderful. I would recommend Dr. Frizzo for anyone's little ones. It wasn't easy as a mother to see. But very thankful for being allowed to be in room while work was being done. I want to thank the staff for taking good care of my little boy. Special thanks to Dr. Frizzo for being a caring person.

The receptionist is so rude, if they let the office staff treat you this way, I can't imagine the way the dentist is allowed to operate. FIND SOMEONE ELSE

Dr. Frizzo and his staff were very accommodating to my children's needs. They had their first visit to the dentist which can usually be scary for young children. Dr. Frizzo and his staff made sure that my babes were comfortable and that they had a very good experience at the dentist. They even provided goody bags with toothbrushes, tooth paste, floss, and stickers! We loved them all! We will definitely be back!
