Hello, my name is Victoria. I started my career as an expanded duties dental assistantand later went to Sanford-Brown Collegeto obtainmy license as a registered dental hygienist. This is the best thing I have ever done! I have been blessed to enjoy all aspects of dentistry for the past nine years, but mostly getting to know my patients and bettering their oral health. Nothing is more important to me than the quality of treatment and the comfort of my patients. I will always take the time to educate and answer any questions my patients have, to help them achieve their goals.

Dr. Todd is one of the most considerate, understanding and impartial dentist in the field. I have been going to First Dental for almost 20 years, I am so thankful to know him and his staff. My teeth are healthy and my gums are healthy. Best Dentist and Dental Office in Fort Lauderdale hands down.

Just moved down here and am so happy I found this place. Everybody is super kind and if you have dental anxiety this is your spot . Got a cleaning/filling and everything was smooth and painless. Dr. Pusateri has an expert touch and is totally genuine with his care/advice for your teeth.

I was devastated when I had to find a new practitioner after my 'Exceptional' dentist passed away! How would I ever find anybody as wonderful... with the attention to detail... A perfectionist in every way!?!?! Well, Dr. Pusateri, You have exceeded my expectations! Not only were you able to fill those massive shoes, but you did it with ease. I've had two cleanings visits and I feel comfortable and safe with this dentist and his kind, professional staff. Enough so, that I'm about to call and make an appointment for a build up and crown! Eek!

If I could give them 0 stars, I would. I did full set of dentures with them 3 years ago, and paid thousands dollars out of my retirement fund. Recently I noticed one side tooth Missing from my upper denture. I came back to the office to fix it. Todd Pusateri who is appeared to be the dentist , simply dismissed me and refused to help me, just wanted to 'refer' Me somewhere else, so I pay thousands dollars again for the faulty job they done here in this office. If you want to lose your money, just come to this office, and will give you no guarantees on any jobs they do in this office!

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Terrible experience! My husband had full set of dentures done 3 years ago in this office, paid thousands of dollars from his retirement fund. Recently he noticed the frontal tooth missing from his upper denture. In stead of helping us to fix this problem, Dr Pusateri simply dismissed us, refused to do anything to help with this issue, just offered to give 'referral' to another office, to pay thousands dollars again to fix the faulty denture they done in this office. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE! They charge you thousands of dollars, and give you no guarantee on their job whatsoever!

Dr Todd Pusateri & his staff maintain a very calm & professional environment. I was completely impressed with the friendly attentiveness of the staff & the consultation/treatment. Dr Pusateri is a good communicator & explained his treatment plan clearly to me. My 2 small children were treated well during their appointments. The office environment is pristine. I appreciated the extra safety measures that are present & visible as it relates to COVID. I feel very happy to have found such a gem of a practice!

I have been treated by Dr. Todd Pusateri for 7 years. He and his staff are kind, professional, and understand their patients have time constraints. Never a wait for outstanding care. I have had out- of -town relatives, & friends cared for by Dr. Todd to their relief and happiness. He is genuine, and his staff reflects the high standards he sets in a comfortable, beautiful office. Thank You to Dr. Todd and wonderful staff!

This review is way overdue! My family and I have been patients of First Dental and Dr. Todd Pusateri for almost 10 years and we have been highly satisfied with every aspect of our care. Dr. Todd & staff are caring & professional and most importantly they have integrity! We have complete trust and faith that this is an honest and hard-working group. Personally, I have had cleanings every 4 months, as well as multiple crowns and bonding for some chipped teeth, all have been done beautifully with as little discomfort as possible. I feel very loyal to this practice.. they deserve your patronage!
