He is a bit of a comic who likes to educate you on dental issues. He's a very nice man. He used gloves and did the cleaning himself. There was a woman there too who assisted him when needed. Clean office & nice people.

I went in for a cleaning because of the deal for new patients that was posted outside. I was seen right away when I arrived and was seen by the dentist himself. I'm used to a dental hygienist performing the cleaning. This was not the case. The appointment felt a little fast but he said my teeth were in great shape. He also gave me an in depth tutorial and explanation on brushing and flossing. Every dentist tells you to brush and floss but Sylvio actually explained why and how.

I don't know how to desribe Dr.Lessa. He is a rare find. He Genuinely cares for his patients even with people having issues with health care he made it possible for me to pay on a sliding scale fee when no other dentist would treat me other than to extract my tooth. I highly recommend Dr.Lessa.
August 16, 2012Patricia F.Verified patient
Dr. Lessa is a caring and knowledgeable doctor. This was the best dentist visit I have ever had. I never knew that mouth XRays don't have to be painful until I had them done by this doctor.
June 11, 2012Una B.Verified patient
He has over 40y dental experience, very pleasure to work with, good understanding and relationship with patins. Hes unbelievably experienced, many doctors told me I need root canal for my tooth but he made filling and no pain at all,
I feel like I don't have any problem at all! thank you very much, Im coming again.
February 28, 2012Sergiy P.Verified patient
Very nice. I Will go back for sure.
November 2, 2011ELAINE C.Verified patient
He is very friendly, very sweet. Has an odd sense of humor and touched my mouth without a glove on, an absent-minded move on his part but a total red-flag to me, a germaphobe.

Great sense of humor and very informative about what he was doing and how to maintain my dental health. Office was slightly bare-bones, but staff were friendly and efficient.
November 4, 2011Jevan S.Verified patient
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit with Dr. Lessa. He was very friendly and professional. He gave me some valuable advice and his price seemed reasonable. I would very much recommend him in the future and plan to see him for further treatment.

My first visit with Dr. Sylvio Lessa was excellent. The wait time was immediate even though my wife and I were a bit late and the doctor was extremely courteous and friendly, and so was his staff.
He took the time to explain to us how we should be brushing our teeth and flossing, even though other doctors have also explained this technique - his was quite different and showed the intricate details that must be paid attention to. Based on my experience with other Dentists, Dr. Lessa was amazing and I will continue seeing him and looking forward to it.
