Dr Puccio and Bonnie made my visit to the dentist much better than expected. I ended up needing a tooth extraction (didn't expect this when I went in) and they helped me along the way during the visit with so much information, breaks, and I felt OK when I left because of the treatment I received while in the chair for a very long time. I can't say thank you enough to them. If you need to a dentist, I would definitely suggest Dr Puccio!! Thank you Bonnie for everything you did to make me comfortable at this appointment. Thank you Dr Puccio for taking the time to explain to me everything you were doing to my tooth and the why behind it, you are great. Thank you to Jenn for greeting me at the front desk with kindness when I was finished.Thank you all!!

We have been a patient of Dr. Varipatis for over 20 years and more recently Dr. Puccio. The doctors and hygienists are so patient and calm when treating our kids. The front desk is always pleasant and helpful. We are very pleased with this practice!

Dr. Puccio did a great job today placing a permanent "filling" on my recently completed root canal. He was professional and informative, describing each step of the procedure as he was performing them. And Bonnie and Jenn in the office were great, too. Have been a patient of Dr. Varipatis for years, and now of Dr. Puccio. A very welcoming and professional practice.

Great overall experience with Dr. Puccio and the entire team! They provided a fantastic first dentist visit experience for my 3 year old son, making sure he was comfortable and introducing him to all the tools and everything at a great pace. Very satisfied with my own visit too. I'll be happy to keep up our routine appointments every six months! Thank you!

I found the atmosphere to be welcoming as well as friendly . Dr. Puccio was especially personable in addition to a professional approach to the care that was provided . Although it was my first time , I was made to feel as if I was a regular patient and I left feeling appreciative to have been under Dr Puccio and his assistant's care .

I would like to take this opportunity to commend--make that, highly commend--three people in your employ. These three are Lauren (hygienist), Bonnie, and Jennifer (who handled the front desk during my visit). I came to your office several weeks ago for a teeth cleaning. My last visit was over a year before and my second visit was delayed because of the COVID pandemic. I want to take a few minutes to commend the people mentioned above. Lauren was friendly and professional. She answered every question I asked with patience and with utmost courtesy. To say that she put me at ease is an understatement! She made me feel calm and welcome. She is the sort of person who makes a visit to the dentist an outright pleasure. Bonnie? Well, what can I say but that your office is very lucky to have her. She, like Lauren, put me immediately at ease. She demonstrated an impressive efficiency coupled with a lightheartedness and a sense of humor that made my visit most delightful. No question or concern went unaddressed. Finally, there is Jennifer, who attended the reception desk. Again, here was someone who was pleasant, informative, and very professional. All questions I had about wait time and scheduling were answered with detailed and chipper responses. It is my great pleasure to commend these three. With Lauren, Bonnie, and Jennifer on your staff you can be assured that patients will return again, and again, and again...well, I'm sure you get the idea. Thank you and your staff so much for making my experiences with Drs. Puccio and Varipatis as memorable as they are enjoyable. Riccardo A. Ross

Too whom ever is looking for an exceptional dentist. Look no more . Go see DR painless PUCCIO. I had to get a few teeth extracted and I was somewhat afraid. I saw DR Puccio. He made me feel at ease at once . And once he started I knew I was in great hands. Before I knew it the teeth were out and I was on my way home to recover.. NO PAIN.. This is why I will refer Dr painless PUCCIO to anyone. He is kind caring and gental. NOT AFRAID ANYMORE KIM Z/// 10/26/20
