Great experience, I'm usually not a fan of the dentist. The staff made me feel welcome and comfortable. I can't wait to start taking better care of my teeth. I appreciate Mrs Okonkwo's recommendations.
March 24, 2022Megan A.Verified patient
Simply put, I have not been to a dentist in 25-30 years! I had a very bad and painful experience, and, quite frankly, was afraid due to a lack of confidence in the doctor's skills, patient communication, sensitivity, and trust!!!
In Dr. Okonkwo and her staff, none of these fears exist!!!

Just moved from NYC to CT. I’ve always been picky with my dentists and thought I’d have a hard time finding one. But this was perfect. Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and caring. Would strongly recommend. Going back to get some fillings replaced next month.
December 1, 2021Rey L.Verified patient
Dr. Okonkwo is a people-person through and through. This was my first appointment with her and she made sure to ask about every filling, cap, and concern that I had. I would say I had the most enjoyable dental experience that I've ever had with her. I'd heavily recommend her.
