May 4, 2024Manasi P.Verified patient

Didn't end up getting seen by the doctor I booked the appointment with. Also, the hygienist was extremely rough when doing the cleaning—it was the most painful cleaning I've ever had done. Would not recommend coming here, and I don't plan to go back

Excellent help from front desk, the hygienist was quick and effective. The dentist was timely and clear on all parts of the visit would absolutely recommend

Excellent dentist. He went above and beyond in my root canal remediation and putting the crown on. He gave such thorough, expert and empathetic care. I’m really grateful I got to see Dr. Bellafiore. My tooth has been causing me so much pain, post procedure I feel an immediate difference (I don’t use pain killers and have been feeling relief despite not being on them!). Additionally, the front desk and nurses were extremely warm and friendly. They kept me really well informed about the billing and insurance coverage. Thank you to everyone at Dr. Bellafiore’s office for the excellent treatment! I highly recommend them!

May 4, 2023Rosa B.Verified patient

Great experience on my first visit! The staff at the front desk were super friendly and welcoming. I even got a 'nice to meet you!' as I left, which impressed me, The dental hygienist Melinda was a rockstar, and went above and beyond to give me a great teeth cleaning. And finally, Dr. Walter Wang was very personable yet professional at the same time. I immediately felt comfortable with him. Thanks team!

March 29, 2023Ryan W.Verified patient

Very nice doctor who seemed highly knowledgable and had a good bedside manner.

Easy to talk to understood instructions

August 11, 2025Marcy W.Verified patient

I was ignored for at least 30 seconds as the receptionist goofed off with a coworker. They forgot I was waiting and I had to say something. They seemed completely unprepared for me. The treatment chair faced the dirty windows. No curtains, drapes or blinds. People from the building across the way could see everything. The office is very dated and needs a renovation. I did receive a very good cleaning from the dentist.
