    My visit was great! The staff was friendly and easy to get along with and they take the time to cover dental education in context with the state of my dental health, which helps me remember to take my dental care more seriously at home.

    Had 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. Bedside manner was great too so I felt at ease throughout my visit.

    Dr. Scapillato and the hygienist Vivian were provided thorough explanations and education re oral hygiene and care. I walked away feeling like I had learned more about teeth in 1 hr with them than I ever had in 30 years.

    As a new patient, I didn't know what to expect. Dr. Scapillato well exceeded anything I could have imagined. His years of experience shone through as he walked me through my X-rays and gave his expert opinion and recommendations with absolutely no pressure. His confidence and his staff made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I felt like I had been seeing him for years.

    I love the way the dentist office worked with OpenCare leading up to my appointment to make sure everything was all set with my insurance. The appointment was great and they helped me understand everything that needed to be done and were professional, friendly and knowledgeable.

    Very kind, helpful, not rude like many dentists can be in response to our stressful lives. I felt like my concerns were addressed and it wasnt like they were attempting to overcharge me.

    I 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.
