He was very professional. I have never experienced such an educational experience with a dental exam. He explained many things about my teeth that I did not know. If I didn’t understand something, he explained it again. He was very patient and very kind.

Excellent!
October 13, 2025June M.Verified patient
I had never used Zocdoc but a bad experience with a previous dentist made me cautious. At my first visit here I knew I had found MY dentist. Smart - caring - efficient - listened to my concerns - and very good work.
He has a good online service which reminds me of my appointment - I can't say enough positive and encouraging about this dentist.
March 28, 2025John S.Verified patient
I have only had one visit, and it was an examination and creating a strategy for necessary works and upcoming visits. The doctor was friendly, efficient, very good at explaining what the situation was and his take on what needs to be done in future sessions. He listened to my opinion and made sure I understood everything that was being discussed. We planned appointments for four future visits over several weeks, and talked about a plan of action. After that. He carefully went through insurance, and schedules, so I know how long some of the procedures will take. I could not be more pleased with this visit, and I am looking forward to working with this doctor in the future.

Dr. Joe, our first meeting, was prepared and ready for me and my new crown. Office was easy to get to with easy parking. We hit it off well. He's experienced since 1990, easy to work with, and accommodated my wishes and needs. I highly recommended him, and I've had many.

Literally my first time meeting him and he was nothing more than welcoming. I’ve never had a dentist sit and explain everything they were doing before they did it and make sure I understood what was happening. What an incredible first impression.

Dr. Riccardi explained each step of the procedure before it's performance. He made the procedure as painless as possible. He also checked in after the procedure to see how I was coming along. His office is very clean and the staff, he and his wife, is pleasant and friendly. I HIGHLY recomend this doctor.
