About Dr. Maritza Nunez
Dr. Nunez practiced dentistry in Ecuador for 10 years before moving to the United States, where she attended New York University College of Dentistry and earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1990. With 30 years of experience, she has dedicated her life to providing excellent dental care. By taking the time to educate each patient, Dr. Nunez not only delivers dental services but also builds lasting bonds with her patients. She is known for her professionalism, kindness, experience, and, most importantly, patience. This is why her patients cherish her not only as a dentist but also as a friend.
Dr. Nunez stays at the forefront of the latest advances in dental services and technology. Over the years, she has identified a major challenge in the industry: the lack of specialists within many dental offices. In some practices, general dentists are expected to perform everything-from routine cleanings to major surgeries. To provide her patients with the comprehensive care they deserve, Dr. Nunez began assembling a team of specialists in 2008. This team shares her commitment to putting the patient first, not just the treatment, and embodies the qualities for which she is well known.

Good overall experience. However, I disliked that they kept on pressuring me into cosmetic dental procedures.

Tells me they accept insurance, and then try to have me pay for service once I arrive in. Waste of time.

October 6, 2016Christian S.Verified patient
Waste of time, and unhelpful. They will tell you to see a specialist but won't give you a referral or point you in the right direction, then they'll make you wait 2 weeks for the material the specialist needs.

Showed up to them unaware of my appt and was told no one was there to see me. Had me make an appt for a different day and collected my insurance and id for convenience next time. Showed up again and only then was I told they wouldn’t take my insurance. Complete waste of time and inconsistency in communication from staff. No attempt was made to accommodate me the first time and my time was further wasted the second time. Don’t go.

•Dentist gave me an unnecessary lecture, and made rude comments.
•They have pushy “coordinators.” I repeatedly told them I wanted to think about my options but they kept trying to make the sale. I spent more time with the coordinator than I did with the dentist
•overall bad experience but the assistants were nice

Had my first visit today, and this was far and away the best dental experience I've ever had in my life. The entire staff was professional, courteous, friendly, and gentle. And they worked with me on budgeting my treatments. Highly recommend.

Great no comment
October 11, 2025Nima D.Verified patient
At this point in my life I was merely looking for a dentist that can just help me do what I need for my teeth, Dr. Nunez and the fellow staff did more than that. They answered all of my pertinent questions. They provided information and context regarding not only my situation, but compared it to situations and gave what-if scenarios to help me understand my position. They were kind and courteous and were patient with my answers. My only regret is that I had not come here sooner.

I finally found a nice dental office with top notch staff
Blanca was amazing during my dental cleaning, she helped me overcome my fear as I have sensitive teeth.
The doctor came at the end and reviewed my teeth, explained everything in layman’s terms so I knew what we were talking about; o learned so many tips to clean my teeth at home. I’m definitely coming back
