    My experience at Dr Fisher and Orfalys office has been the same since day one ,ten years ago when urged from my mom to transfer over to the Hawthorne Blvd office.Wonderful! Truly.From the time you walk in, the atmosphere is like a small community of people you have come to know. Amy who has been my dental hygienist for years now makes my time enjoyable with a new topic of conversation to cover every time.Dr. Orfaly has handled my dental care for sometime now , from many, to all procedures, I couldnt be happier. Yet more than just wanting to get it right with my teeth, he wants to know how you are, how your mom is ,and of course your favorite sports teams . Again, its a community I would recommend to any and all .Tom D

    After my visit with Dr. Orfaly this morning, I decided a raving review was long overdue. Due to an ill hygienist, and because I was the first patient of the day, I observed the office from a different perspective. Front Desk Coordinator, Kerrin, greeted me with a smile while she and Dr. Orfaly seamlessly juggled the schedule, ensuring no one's day would be disrupted. Dr. Orfaly asked if I minded if he did my routine cleaning. Of course, I happily consented. I have always been impressed with the level of care I have received and found in my nearly 20 years of being a patient of 1st, Dr. Fisher's, and then Dr. Orfaly's. Clearly, this practice puts patient care above all else. I highly recommend this practice.

    Our family has gotten our dental care (routine and otherwise) from Fisher & Orfaly for over 20 years. They have, without exception, provided compassionate, clearly explained, patient-centered, top-quality dental services and I recommend them without reservation. One of my adult children even went to them for an evaluation of some complicated work they had done elsewhere (out of state). I especially appreciate the measures their practice took during the pandemic including installing hospital-grade air filtration to maximize safety for patients and staff.

    I am someone who has been terrified of the Dentist from a very young age, but after seeing Dr. Orfaly and his team over the past couple of months I have 100% gotten over my fears. I have never felt more comfortable and taken care of by the staff. Everyone is so nice and down to earth they make you feel welcome! Dr. Orfaly even came in on a day they were closed because I was having extreme tooth pain, and he totally fixed the problem, I will never forget that. Im so happy I decided to go to Fischer & Orfaly, best decision Ive ever made!

    Fisher & Orfaly Dental - General dentist in Salem, MA

    Dr. Oraly did my cleaning during today's visit. The experience was not only wonderful, but he also made sure to fix a tooth sensitivity issue I have been experiencing by bonding the tooth to resolve the problem. I would highly recommend Dr. Oraly to anyone looking for a quality dentist with a professional and courteous staff. Taylor is my regular hygienist who educates me and always makes sure any issues I have with my teeth get fixed. It feels awesome to go to a dentist's office that I know I can trust and have complete confidence in as far as terrific dental care goes. I definitely give this office a 5 star rating. - Wade D.

    I could not be any more fortunate and grateful for Dr. George Orfaly accepting me recently as a new patient! I switched over from my previous provider in a nearby community after receiving subpar care and at risk of losing two teeth. He and the entire team at Fisher & Orfaly Dental have made my transition a smooth and comfortable one, setting me at ease and swiftly on the path to a promising prognosis! I also know that both Dr. Orfaly and Dr. Fisher care a great deal about the community beyond the walls of their practice, too, both quite supportive of local nonprofit and charitable efforts. This all makes me feel wonderful about being a patient, one of the best decisions I've ever made. You and your family should consider switching to Fisher & Orfaly!

    Dr Orfaly is the best dentist around! I have alot of anxiety around going to the dentist & Dr Orfaly always makes sure to check in to see how I'm doing & is so nice. If a referral is needed to a specialist, he makes the call for you & gets you an appt quickly (mine was even the same day) I love how they book you with the same dental hygienist for all cleanings.. Adds another level of comfort... Shoutout to mine, Kathy!!

    Dr.Orfaly is great, he listened to all of my needs and wants & matched me to the best solution tailored to my problems. My whole life I have had imperfections with my teeth that I never thought would be fixed & I am now able to smile with 100% confidence thanks to him and the technology he has access too. Even through Covid I was tended and not forgotten. I recommend anyone to this practice, no matter what their dental needs are Orfaly can help you find a solution!

    Fisher & Orfaly Dental - General dentist in Salem, MA

    I would give 10 stars if I could! Ive been a patient of Dr Orfaly for about 20yrs. I was so happy with his work I followed him when he moved to Salem to partner with Dr Fisher. The kindness, compassion and professionalism from each and every staff member is commendable. I have had quite a few issues with my teeth and Dr Orfaly (along with his right hand girl Mirella!) has been there to help fix and support me beyond what one would expect. Aside from being up to date on the latest and greatest in dentistry everyone here treats you like an old friend not just a patient. I look forward to my cleanings with Kathy not only because her humor makes for a great visit but because of her attention to detail in getting the job done. I HIGHLY recommend this practice. Its a fact...there isnt anyone better!

    I was not a fan of going to the dentist! One might say afraid but thanks to the amazing team at Fisher & Orfaly I am back on track with my 6 month cleanings.

    After having a negative experience with a filling with a past dentist, I was nervous to go to a new dentist with tooth pain. Dr. Orfaly and team were very understanding and knowledgable when walking me through my options for a cracked tooth. 10/10 would recommend due to their professionalism, attention to detail, and level of care. Thanks team!

    As a person with anxiety of going to any doctors or dentists it took me a while to find the right dentist for me. Without a question I have found the right place. Not only does Dr.Ofaly have a great personality and is just a cool person in general but as a dentist you literally couldn't find one that is as gentle and patient as him. He knows of my issues and couldn't be more understanding. Also every procedure I have had their has been painless and so smooth. If your looking for a new dentist please trust me and just give him a try and I promise like me you will become a longtime patient. You really couldn't be in better hands!

    So fear of Covid kept me from seeing my dentist for a while. Then he retired. Someone recommended Dr. Orfaly when I broke a tooth. This man is wonderful to work with. He listens, shows compassion and even checks in during his off time to see how you are. I was terrified of the entire process, but Dr. Orfaly walked me through it by making me feel safe and heard. He explained everything so I would know what to expect. I now have a beautiful smile. My new bridge is perfect. His staff is professional and his assistant is kind and patient. The office is spotless. I HIGHLY recommend Fisher & Orfaly Dental. You are in good and caring hands with them. Thank you for my sparkling teeth!

    I have been a patient at Dr. Orfali's for over 20 years. He has always been professional and never performs anything that is not needed. I've had a couple of crowns and he has done a great job. My adult son was told by a dentist that he had about $5000 worth of work to be done on his mouth. Dr. Orfali reviewed his x-rays and he did not need any work. I would trust Dr. Orfali with any of your dental needs. He will always be truthful.

    Needed a new dentist in Salem, picked Dr. Orfaly by location. I met him before agreeing to my first appointment, and so far, have been very happy. I'm a curious sob, and credit Dr Orfaly for being patient with my atmospheric river of questions. He knows how to relate to patients, and seems to be on top of his game. Highly recommend.
