This was my first visit at a new dentist office and I was nervous to get my checkup. I enjoyed my hygienist Carmen, the cleaning it was very thorough and the staff was very professional. I will definitely be back for my 6 month visit! Nicole S.
Dr. LaPera had been my dentist for 15 years. He is extremely professional and has a wonderful pleasant manner. I recommended him to a friend from NYC and she now goes regularly. I am fortunate to have found him when I moved from NY. Annette T.
Excellent dental practice. I have been a patient for 20 years. The doctors and staff are professional, on time and caring. Great communication and they always put the patients needs first. I have recommended Summit Dental to other friends who have also been highly satisfied. My teeth love these guys. Marie R.
This is the best dentist I have been to. The place is very clean they have been sanitizing everything down before covid-19 came into existence. The doctor is the best dentist i know of he is very kind, patient, and gentle. His work is perfect. Juanita P.
I would highly recommend this dental practice for all dental care. Dr. Le Pera is a true perfectionist and his care for the patients is his main priority. My experience is my main focus to this review. The staff is very courteous and knowledgeable. Carmen, the Hygienist, is also a wonderful asset to the practice. She is thorough with her cleanings and care for her patients. Definitely an A+ Thomas E.
Loved my hygienist Carmen. She gave me lots of helpful tips and didnt use electric tools to clean. I loved this because I have a lot of sensitivity and the electric tools exacerbates my symptoms. Which means she listened to my worries and honored them. Dr. Le Pera is awesome as always and keeps me well informed. Juliana V.
Really the best dentist I could ever ask for. I know they are a trusted source and Dr. L is truly one of a kind. Someone who genuinely cares about his clients- it always feels like family. I do all my work here- what I love is that if Dr. L is super honest and if he knows of someone better suited for a particular procedure he will tell Rachel E.

As mentioned before in a previous review, it is since 2008 that I frequent "Summit Dental"! And not one regret!! The more I get to know the practice the more I love to return in case of necessity. Well, necessity because I just don't like to go and pull or fix teeth if I don't need to...haha. however I must reconfirm the professionalism and warm safety that Dr Lepera inspires you even in the most scary moment! Just to say, I brought my 5 years old Grand son and he did not get scared even though he had a cavity repaired! I could talk on and on about this practice and Dr Lepera but I think I am giving an idea of what I feel about them!! Thank you again Dr Lepera and current staff!! ................. 6 months went by and i had to see Dr Lepera and the pretty and cordlal women, part of his office. And with no surprise the welcome was as usual warm and cordial. Once in I learned that not just the staff and doctors are of the best, but also the equipment and machinery is of the latest and fine tecnology available! And again Dr lepera and nurses showed their unic method of treatment inspiring good results and confort! I lived in Italy for the first 26 years of my life the in Us for the rest, and che across many doctors in dentistry, if you allow me the slang, but Noone can come not even close to this "businness" here! Dr Lepera and current staff is "UNMATCHABLE"! Pease forgive what could seam arrogance or excess proud, but I am only stating the thruth of the facts. Thank you for listening!

Amazing , caring and professional, he was gentle took his time and made sure I was ok with my anxiety and gag reflex. The only complaint may have is the pricing. It can be a little expensive on the high side. But besides that it was a great office and a good experience thus far.
