    Dr. Gorofolo is such a warm hearted person. He’s clearly “been there” and has an innate ability to make you feel at ease. He is extremely knowledgeable and uses up to date, cutting edge methods and equipment. Wish I would have found him sooner.

    This is my 1st time being here but they let me wait for 15 minutes even though I came there 10 minutes earlier than my appointment. The Hygienist is so nice and do a great job. Customer service is good!

    The office is at the Dentistry Collective is so nice and all of the employees are extremely friendly and caring. One of the best dental experiences I've had. Location is convenient, right off the 15 freeway and parking is a breeze. The technology they have is top notch and I felt extremely comfortable during the whole experience. My insurance combined with an in network discount made the pricing extremely reasonable for the work that was done. Would highly recommend.
