My experience was excellent. Everyone in Dr. Skupny's office is so very kind, professional and thoughtful. I honestly have to say my experience with working with Dr. Skupny's group was probably the best dentist experience I have ever had and since I am 78 you know I have been to see loads and loads of dentists over the years. So thorough and so educational. The hygienist was like a teacher!! and a great one The above was my original posting when I was 78. I am now 84 and still feel I have the best dentist in all of Naples. A little more pricey than any I have ever used before but the office is so up to date and professional that I feel very happy that I found Dr. Skupny and that I am in good hands as to my dental needs. The above was my review from a few years ago, but I can add to it and say that Dr. Skupny God Bless Him. How difficult it must be to work in such a crowded mouth. I have a much greater appreciation for him after my recent experience. His staff is so caring too and so informative and so professional. I feel like I am in the best of hands when I'm in that seat!

Best dental visit I've ever experienced. Dr. Skupny treated me for a broken tooth emergency, highly skilled and careful, as was his assistant Christina. First time ever I experienced no pain at all and completely satisfied with the temporary crown. Looking forward to regular care there.

Karen was friendly, thorough and informative. As she evaluated the condition of my gums and then cleaned my teeth she was concerned about my comfort. She was helpful in explaining how to best control bacteria growth thereby preventing damage to my gums and subsequently my teeth. A 5 Star visit!
