Always a great experience with the Doc and Mary, the conversation distracts from the dental work...

The dental team at Dr. Bandoni's office is outstanding. The team combines expert dental care with truly heartfelt hospitality. They are warm, welcoming and friendly. Rarely does one leave the dentist feeling better than when they went into the dentist, this was my experience at Dr. Bandoni's office.

I had an issue with a tooth, and he took me the day that I called. I really appreciated that. Thank you

Dr. Bandoni over filled a tooth, to correct bite he ground down all my other teeth which threw off my bite that a previous dentist had fixed. He did the same thing to my son. When my son would go back to him and say his bite was off Dr. Bandoni would tell him its fine. For three years my son had pain and was traumatized until he finally was able to bring himself to another dentist. We found out Dr. Bandoni never removed the decay before applying the filling which also had never bonded which caused more decay over the years. Also, Dr. Bandoni ground down an over exaggerated cusp my gold crown. Because of his bad work my teeth are now shifting. After reading this review you decide if he is worth seeing.

A great practice for the family! The entire process was a very good experience from walking in the door, to leaving! The manager even researched my dental benefits to make sure I understood everything clearly. My last comment is that my teenage boys even gave them the thumbs up (and that has never happened before)! Thanks Dr. Bandoni and team! :)
