Dr Puccio is a true professional. The quality of his work is exceptional. He communicates very clearly about the work to be done and during each step of the process. His use of the latest technology adds to the quality and speed of the work. Dr Puccio's staff are the best from start to finish. This includes scheduling the appointments and the handling of billing an insurance. It is great to understand the cost upfront along with the amount to be covered by insurance. The staff are friendly, professional, and provide a high quality service. We have recommended Dr Puccio to other friends and family members as a result of our experience.

They are a great practice-they understand my needs and are very
patient with their patients--especially me.
The whole team should be applauded.
December 19, 2018Tom R.Verified patient
Everyone in the office is so accommodating and polite. Dr. Puccio is professional and personal. My family & I just moved from the west coast where we had the same family dentist for the last 20 years. We were worried about finding another dentist that would be as friendly and take care of our needs as well as our previous dentist. I have to say that Dr. Puccio and his entire staff exceeded our expectations! Absolutely love them all! We will be lifelong clients.
December 19, 2018Carla H.Verified patient

November 7, 2018Stacy S.Verified patient
Dr Puccio and his staff are professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them for quality, cleanliness, and an overall fabulous experience at a profession that can be unpopular with their clients( no one really likes going to the dentist LOL). They DO make the experience less stressful and more pleasurable.
July 10, 2018Susan D.Verified patient
I have been being treated by Dr. Puccio for a while now. He has an excellent bedside manner. He is very easy to talk to, and you kind of feel like you were explaining something to a friend despite his professionalism. He is very upfront about your situation with your teeth. He is an excellent dentist who provides a very high service of quality work and professionalism. His staff is also very personable, knowledge able and very helpful. I would recommend Dr. Puccio 100%
More than 1 year agoMichele T.Verified patient

August 31, 2017Angela V.Verified patient
Fred is the best dentist I have had in 50 years! I've been thru tramatic dental trama many years ago. Dr Puccio has made these long standing issues seem like a a filling. His state of the art facility and amazing staff make it a pleasure to go to the dentist!! This is the dental team for everyone. Including my husband who no longer needs me to hold his hand for a cleaning!!!!
April 25, 2017Stacey C.Verified patient
Everyone in this office is great! They are very professional and courteous.
I used to have anxiety about going to any dentity but not anymore!
March 21, 2017Giacomo A.Verified patient
I had a series of complicated procedures for a dental implant.
Everything was thoroughly explained before hand. The procedures themselves were done with a minimum of pain or discomfort. Drilling into the jaw was without pain despite the fact the tooth was in the back of my mouth and Dr. Puccio had limited room to work. All-in-all a good experience.
March 13, 2017William C.Verified patient
Dr. Puccio & his staff are exceptional. I needed to be seen urgently as a new patient, and his staff immediately accommodated me that day. After that, I began treating there regularly & Dr. Puccio has helped me restore all my teeth after years of neglect. Many of my issues were with my front teeth & I no longer have to feel embarrassed to smile! His meticulous & aesthetic approach during even routine work such as fillings truly shines through & has yielded me amazing results. I've changed my insurance several times & his billing staff have always been happy to help clearly explain the appropriate changes.
February 17, 2017Joel C.Verified patient

Consultation for invisalign - he explained everything..took his time..no rushing.. spoke to my daughter directly..sometimes I feel doctors talk to the parent and ignore the teen.. great experience..
September 16, 2016Christine P.Verified patient
There is no better moment than when you know you have selected the right healthcare professional. That was my experience today. Dr Puccio and his staff gave my daughter excellent care and actually confirmed that one step of a procedure was not necessary that other doctors said would have to be performed. Using medical equipment that I have never seen used before, he cut off a big expense that absolutely wasn't necessary. Thanks the staff at Midland Family Dental.
July 28, 2016Maura T.Verified patient

I feel proud and fortunate to call him my dentist. He's the best of the best!!!
December 8, 2015Jillian M.Verified patient
So far my experience has been great.

July 22, 2015Kathleen S.Verified patient
I have advanced periodontal disease and Dr. Puccio was able to treat my condition using a high tech laser. It was completely painless and I was able to avoid invasive surgery. I have read many articles about him on the internet and decided to travel to NJ to meet with him. One of the best decisions I have ever made. Office is incredible and accessible to several major highways.

Dr. Puccio was a great help to me. Through my extensive visits over the course of a year, he not only did a magnificent job on my teeth but treated me with kindness and instilled in me a confidence that I knew I would be more than satisfied with my decision to choose him as my dentist. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Visit was great- even though I was a little late they took me in right away, and Jackie was lovely- she did (and always does) a very thorough cleaning. She also could tell if there might be a problem and took appropriate Xrays. Dr. Puccio also has great bedside manner and stayed long as long as I needed to ask all my questions- he gave very helpful, clear answers and I trust his professional opinion! Thank you!
