So very impressed with this office! Every one of the ladies on staff there is delightful, professional, informative and efficient. Appointments are a pleasure - convenient location, adequate parking, easy in and out and extremely limited waiting. Both Dr. Kochis and Dr. Mencarelli are engaging and informative. As an adult with one tooth that is moving I appreciated the straight forward solution I was offered, as well how efficaciously it was delivered. More than pleased with this gratifying experience. Would recommend to all ages.

Our first time we WILL be back. My son had a lot of anxiety and they helped ease it with their professionalism. They're helping get our insurance on board with his plan. Truly felt like they care about him and his oral health. Great up to date technologies that help them do excellent work. Happy I stumbled upon them.
