I have had a few bad encounters with dentists. The thought of going to have any work on my teeth is horrifying but after my first visit with Dr. Valiani I knew I had found my forever doctor. Both my fiance and I have had to have some serious work done on our teeth and Dr. V was gentle, explained things in a way we would understand, and thorough. We also we lucky enough to meet his wife and son who were in the office upon our departure and they were beyond kind. It's nice knowing that there are doctors out there who are advanced in their practices, honest, family oriented, and kind. Absolutely give Dr. Valiani a chance... you will not regret it.

My family and I LOVE Dr. Valiani !! I am afraid of dentists and Dr. V talked with me and helped me calm my nerves, relax and control my breathing. I had a wisdom tooth pulled, it had a cavity. Took all of 5 minutes and was painless!!!
My daughter had several silver fillings switched to porcelain and new cavities filled. She has a fear of needles but Dr. V made it pain free and comfortable. The entire staff is great. You won't regret going to Dr. Valiani, he's a great dentist!!
March 17, 2016Lisa G.Verified patient
