I have been going to Dr Papa for over 20 years. He is an excellent dentist and takes time to explain each procedure whether it is filling a cavity, root canal, annual check-up or cosmetic dentistry. He is patient and caring and makes you feel comfortable at all times. His top priority is you and at all times is attentive to your needs. He has done a few veneers for me and I am so amazed at the perfection of his work. He is an artist as well as a dentist. His cosmetic work is second to none. I especially enjoy his office staff all of whom greet you with a warm smile and make you feel right at home. Lee handles the office management with ease and makes sure all insurance claims are handled accurately and carefully. Multi-tasking is no stranger to Lee. Erin is Dr. Papa's right and left hand and at your side assisting Dr. Papa with the all the varied dental procedures and patting your shoulder letting you know she's right by your side.Erin is warm and caring and the go-to person in the office.She is a Saint. Last but certainly not least is Pam who is Dr. Papa's dental hygienist. She is so gentle when cleaning your teeth and her careful attention to detail makes you walk out of the office with your teeth shining! Like Dr. Papa, she explains all procedures and is abundant with knowledge and expertise and teaches you the best methods for caring for your teeth. What a team! Kudos to the Papa practice. The best in the region! Austin G.

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Papa and his staff. I have a severe dental phobia and aside from being an amazing dentist, Dr. Papa's bedside manner and ability to ease me are incredible. I have sat in his chair crying my eyes out and he never once rushed me or made me feel bad about the situation. He always explains everything that he is going to do and the treatment is pain free! My husband has even started seeing Dr. Papa a few months ago and is having extensive work done and he is beyond happy with this office. Unlike other offices, the staff is always friendly and willing to speak with you and help you with any issues that you have. I highly recommend this office!!

I can't bestow enough accolades on Dr. Papa and his staff. My husband and I have been patients for 25 years. He has saved many of my teeth, and goes to great lengths to make it as painless as possible. He and his staff are exceptionally friendly and caring. If you are in need of dental services I highly recommend you contact Dr. Papa's office and make an appointment.

Hello, my name is Tom D. My wife Colleen and I have been patients of Dr.Edward J Papa and his wonderful staff at Papa Dental for the past sixteen years. When our daughter Erin was born in 2003 as she grew older she too eventually became a patient of Papa Dental. At first our daughter Erin was deathly afraid of visiting the dentist just like I was when I was young child. Fortunately for Erin, Papa Dental specializes in many fields including pediatric dentistry. Dr. Papa and his entire staff all treated our daughter Erin with kindness, courtesy, dignity,and respect.so even though she was a young child she felt as though she was being treated similar to an adult. Our daughter lost her fear of visiting the dentist after only her second visit to Papa Dental. I only wish there was a practice around similar to Papa Dental when I was a young child because it would have made a huge difference in my early dental care. The entire staff at Papa Dental is highly professional and all have the well being of their patients in mind. When ever you go through any type of procedure you are constantly asked how are you feeling and if everything is OK. Back in 2001 my wife Colleen was going through an extensive dental procedure with the original dentist we began using after moving to Massapequa from Westchester county back in 1992. My wife was not happy with the dentist or his staff or how the procedure was coming along. A neighbor recommended she visit Papa Dental instead. Afterwards I also switched dental practices to Papa Dental and the difference between the two practices was like night and day. Let's fact some facts here. Good health begins with proper oral care and good oral health. The truth is there are thousands of people who are either afraid to visit the dentist or just don't want to go through any type of dental procedure. If they would only give Papa Dental a chance their lives could possibly be changed forever. After just a few visits with Dr.Papa and his outstanding staff I guarantee you will begin to see positive results. I highly recommend visiting Papa Dental. Dr.Papa and his highly professional and courteous staff include Dr.Papa's assistant Erin, day time receptionist Lee, evening receptionist Barbara, Monday hygienist Pamela and Saturday hygienist Debbie. They will all treat you with kindness, dignity and respect the moment you walk through the door no matter which walk of life you come from.

I went to Dr Papas office. I was very impressed with the professionalism of the staff .Dr. Papa examined me and explained what I was experiencing and the options for treatment available. He performed a root canal and was very concerned that I felt no pain. Later in the day the office called me to see how I felt I was very satisfied with my care and would recommend this office to everyone
