I have been coming to this office for about 3 years, they are very friendly and accommodating. Karen the hygienist is knowledgeable and gentle. Chris the dental assistant goes above and beyond anything I've ever seen in a dental assistant. He shows real pride in his works as well as Dr Natalia. It's the first time I've ever got novocaine and didn't even know it was happening if I didn't see the needle. I have nothing but praise for this office.

Visited this office location on 11/02/2022. From the dental assistant to Dr. Natalia and the girls up front, they were all so welcoming, made me feel at ease and comfortable. This was my first visit to this office, and I was also looking for a new dental practice to to establish care. On top of that I had a very bad toothache, Dr. Natalia prescribed me antibiotics right away. She gave me the run down of what I was to expect and what was needed to be done for my oral health. Definitely looking forward to more future visits with them =)

I am so glad I finally found a dentist office that I don't have to worry about the judgement that comes with someone who has very high anxiety when they enter a dentist office. My first visit was for an extraction. They were so kind to me at Monticciolo and Dr. Natalia is absolutely the best dentist. She is kind and truly cares about your well being. I went back today for some more work and will need much more in the future. I am so glad I found them! If you have anxiety about going to the dentist, I can tell you this is where you need to go. The entire staff is just awesome.

I have been and am very please with with all of my dental work with Monticciolo Family & Sedation. My appointment with Cari on 10/12/2022 was great. Cari was very professional and addressed all my concerns. I received my permanent denture and am very happy with the outcome. I will be recommending this dentist group to family, friends and more. If I were to rate them, I certainly would give them a 10!

Broke off half of a front tooth, stopped at office without appointment. Was quickly taken back for c-ray. Doctor checked for complications and during exam found a cavity. A proposal was explained and date established for necessary work with final cost minus insurance. Very professional and seamless. Most friendly experience !
