Dentist and staff are great. Unfortunately, they do not accept my insurance, even though ZOCDOC indicated that they do.

July 11, 2023Lauren W.Verified patient
Dr Fred has always had outstanding skill and bedside manner. He gives an honest opinion, and is probably the most painless dentist I have ever experienced. I recommend him to everyone, not to mention I travel an hour away to see him rather than use local dentists. He's the best there is.
February 21, 2023James G.Verified patient

The office staffs are very helpful and nice too.
January 9, 2023Lin H.Verified patient
Both the office staff and doctor were wonderful. The office staff were friendly and welcoming. The doctor was attentive, thorough, and even checked with the staff whether he’d have extra time to scan me for a new retainer so I wouldn’t have to schedule a 2nd appointment.

He is a great dentist and very friendly/likable guy. Fixed a very small tooth chip for me super quickly and gave clear advice on improving brushing gum issues.
July 25, 2022Mallory C.Verified patient
My husband and I have been going to Dr. Depakary for 3 years after our dentist of 47 years retired. Dr. D. is skilled, professional, and cognizant of making the dental experience comfortable. He has done everything from dental cleaning to making a bridge for me and I am pleased that I found him for my family's dental needs. His office staff is also wonderful.

December 28, 2021Jody D.Verified patient
Dr. D was really nice and the most educational dentist I’ve had, walking my through my x rays and giving me suggestions on how to change up my routine to help some gum issues. I appreciated him taking me through specifics of my mouth, it was clear he pays a lot of attention to each individual client. Great experience!
November 11, 2021Mallory C.Verified patient
Dr. Frederick Depekary is a fantastic dentist. He is kind, affable and brilliant. Joanne is a phenomenal coordinator and facilitates a great deal.

The experience was positive and staff demonstrated caring, concern and professionalism.
I have scheduled additional appointments with Dr Depekary.
More than 1 year agoFiona T.Verified patient
The staff were nice and attentive. They were very organized and had most of my information pulled from Zocdocs. I had to fill out 2 more forms when I got there. Not their fault though. The doctor was very inviting and he did everything himself. He took one set of my x-rays and the hygienist took a different set with a machine. He went over everything, suggested a plan, and made some other recommendations that would be completed upon my next visit. Then he filled my tooth and told me he would send his plan to my insurance company so that they would detail what they would pay for. Overall the experience was pleasant all the way around. Really good dentist and staff!
April 24, 2021Antonio C.Verified patient
Overall my initial experience with Dr. Depekary and his staff was very positive — the staff was welcoming and efficient in getting me registered upon arrival. Once I completed my paperwork, I was seen right away. Dr. Depekary is very personable and he was very specific in explaining what I needed done during my visit and provided me with a plan moving forward. Highly recommended.

I came here for a second opinion and I’m so glad I did. Not only was Dr. Depekary so great, but Joanne (the lovely lady at the front desk) was also extremely nice. There was no wait time at all. I have scheduled a second appointment for treatment next week.
January 15, 2021Christina C.Verified patient
PHENOMENAL!
January 7, 2021Sarah M.Verified patient
I chose Dr. Depekary after my dentist of 40+ years retired. I went to one other dentist whom I did not care for and after much research selected Dr. D. He is thorough and professional. Spends a lot of time going over x-rays ,evaluating one's dental issues and advising a treatment plan. The staff is very friendly and professional and the office immaculate. You are in good hands with this dental office.
More than 1 year agoDianne K.Verified patient
The staff was so friendly!
October 22, 2020Risha P.Verified patient
Everything was really great. Reception was very nice and for the first time in my 45 years I didn’t feel like this dentist was a money grabber. I said this is going to need a cap right ? Any other test would have said YE$ he said i really believe we can fix this with a filling.... no pain simple easy done very grateful to have found him he will be me &my husbands new dentist
September 30, 2020Jennifer V.Verified patient
Dr. Depekary is a fantastic dentist. He was patient, answers all my questions in great detail, and did a fantastic job with my cleaning and evaluation. His office took all the necessary precautions with Covid-19 and has created a safe environment to get dental treatment.

September 28, 2020Margaret T.Verified patient
I had a great new patient/teeth cleaning appointment with Dr. Depekary! The staff was super friendly and there was no wait time. I went in for a teeth cleaning appointment and the dental hygienist was so sweet and thorough with her cleaning. When the doctor came in he explained his recommendations and asked if I had any concerns or questions. I already have another appointment booked next week for x/rays and teeth whitening! Would highly recommend.
September 15, 2020Stephanie Z.Verified patient
I thought Dr. Depekary was very thorough and helped me review how my mouth wise. He provided suggestions to maintaining my teeth. I had a great appointment for a first time visit.
August 24, 2020Anthony B.Verified patient
As someone who dreads the dentist and has spent most of her life avoiding going, I will say this was a wonderful experience. All of the staff were super friendly and welcoming. I felt confident about the health of my teeth as I was leaving, and my cleaning was thorough but gentle. Looking forward to the next one, as crazy as that sounds.
