I hate the dentist, but everyone in the office was very kind and made me very comfortable. I got what I needed to get done (x-rays) and referrals to dental surgeons in about half an hour, including the time it took to get my paperwork filled out. I would definitely recommend them.

Dr DiPaula's knowledge and skills really came into play for me today as I had an issue that wasn't 100% clear and his diagnosis, solution and plan worked out terrific as my issue feels so much better now. Very grateful I also was able to be seen on the same day I called.

No one really likes going to the dentist. However, Dr. DiPaula makes you feel very comfortable and he’s very detailed. He also doesn’t try to sell you on any extra/unnecessary services. And if you have any concerns, he’s more than happy to go over it with you without any rush. Overall a great experience!

I had a great experience at Dr. DiPaula's office! The wait time was a little long but the office was down a person when I visited. Dr. DiPaula took the time to explain everything to me and took time to build a great rapport with me. I look forward to seeing him again in 6 months!
Verified patient
The dr. Was super nice and friendly! The whole process whent smoothly and fast. I even learned new things to keep my pearly smile healthy :)
Verified patient
Dr DiPaula is great! Very patient-centric for a dentist. Staff is quick to call or return calls, but not exactly the friendliest. Overall a good place.
I could not imagine any other dentist taking care of my teeth. Through the years he has saved my teeth from neglect due to illness, and with his extreme knowledge and wisdom has educated me not only for the care of my teeth, but the importance of how it all comes into play. My teeth are now in good shape, and I have the highest respect for Dr Dipaula and all the other interesting topics we share!! Thank You
Verified patient
Going to the dentist has always been a highly stressful event for me. Dr. DiPaula and his staff were very calm, caring, and patient with me. He was honest about the plan that I needed, and he even made sure to document everything on paper and film for my insurance. The office feels cozy, like someone's home, which is more appealing to me than a large, hospital style practice. I did not feel as though I was on an assembly line, as I have felt in other offices. I recommend him and his staff to anyone who wants a truly personalized treatment plan and great office staff service.
Verified patient
Absolutely peaceful atmosphere in Dr. DiPaula's office with knowledgeable, caring, and relaxed professionals on staff. I have highly recommended this practice to family already.
Verified patient
As a new patient he made the fear is seeing a new dentist go away. He also saw my 3 year old which was her first dentist appointment. Dentist DiPaula was very thorough and informative. I'm so glad I found him, he is awesome!
Verified patient
Dr. Di Paula puts you at your ease (not easy for a dentist). He has a pleasant friendly personality, and his expertise is apparent. I am highly recommending him to all my friends.
Verified patient
I found him to be very professional in giving me information about my teeth. He answered questions, offered advice and counseling in a professional manner. He made me feel like we were partners in fixing my teeth and helping me learn how to keep them healthy. His assistant was very helpful too. Together they made a Great team!
Verified patient
I got great service and he has great prices. He gives options on your treatment so you can choose what is better for you, unlike some other dentists that say "this is what you need in this order and you have no choice in the matter." He and his staff are very friendly and treat you like a person, not a number. Also he pulled my wisdom tooth and I didn't feel a thing! I never even felt the needle he used to numb me up. It was over before I knew it and it healed very quickly with no problems.
Verified patient
While I never find any dental procedures pleasant, Dr DiPaula and his staff are very good at what they do. I was treated like a person and not just another patient. I felt no pain which is important for me! Dr. DiPaula did an excellent job on my teeth and I couldn't be happier. The prices are wonderful too. I have good insurance but even with insurance, I was quoted much, much higher prices from some other dentists. I couldn't believe how low Dr. DiPaula's prices are!
Verified patient
Great physician. Extremely patient and professional. He really takes his time to make sure you are satisfied with your visit. I wish his office staff was the same. They are not polite and very rude.
He listens. He communicates well/
Dr. DiPaula and his staff are the BEST.They were so friendly and compassionate. I am a new patient for life. I've since referred 3 family members, but they haven't had their visit as of today. The office was VERY clean and organized.

Great experience! And fun!
