This practice has been so welcoming. Marissa at the front is amazing! She is so informative and on top of all scheduling needs!

My wife, our three teenagers, and I have been seeing Dr. Marino, hygienist Jenn, and Leo for years now. We absolutely love everyone in this office/practice and have always received exquisite care, patience, and kindness. You can't go wrong getting your dental/orthodontic care here. I just wish I could give them more than 5 stars!
