Reviewed on November 10th, 2022 • Verified patientHad my first trip to the dentist in a while and Dr. Scapillato and Vivian took great care of me. They were thoughtful in their approaches, and spent time educating me on preventative oral health, which I appreciated.

Reviewed on December 8th, 2019 • Verified patientI haven’t been to the dentist in a long time due to bad experiences. Dr. Scapillato was on the list of Dentists near me that take my insurance. I read many great reviews and I was especially impressed with the fact that he is great with patients with special needs and anxieties. I went for my first appointment and the ladies at the front desk were sweet. Then my appointment started with the dental assistant taking X-rays and just speaking to me to keep me comfortable. Dr. Scapillato came in and asked me what I wanted to do (I need a lot of things done) and what my goals were with my teeth. I appreciated that. He explained what I need, my options and where we can start which was great because it didn’t sound overwhelming. I got a great cleaning and made future appointments before I left. My teeth have been an insecurity for a while which is what was keeping me from the dentist as well. But I was so happy with my visit and felt comfortable and like I wasn’t being judged.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[93015].errors[0] }}
