June 30, 2015Lester M.Verified patient

Zocdoc absolutely did not do a great job. First off they never even sent me documents or anything before the appointment. I specifically made the appointment for Dr Judd for today and he wasn’t even In Office today as they said he never is on wednesdays. The lady up front was extremely apologetic as she said they were booked and never even was notified of any appointment and told me of the future contact the office directly. Zocdoc I am disappointed for once.

Besim V.Verified patient

I would come back definitely.

Great experience from start to finish. The staff are very professional and I was seen on time. Dr. Desivo was gentle and explained the process thoroughly. It was very easy to make appointments as they are open late. I highly recommend him.

December 9, 2025Eileen I.Verified patient

Came in for a chipped front tooth and was able to get it fixed that day! Felt like I was in and out of the office, while also being thoroughly explained of all my options.

January 7, 2025Marisa F.Verified patient

Appointment was at 3pm. Got x rays from the tech. Then sat there in the chair with techs coming in and out of the room without saying a word to me. Finally at about 4pm I got up, went to the front desk and told them it had been an hour since my appointment time and I hadn’t seen the dentist yet. Of course they used the “we had three emergencies” excuse. No one let me know anything while I was waiting. Anyone could have said, “so sorry, the dentist is running behind “ or something. The dentist finally shows up. No measuring of gum depth, just a quick Look and says everything looks fine. I’ll bet he didn’t look at the x rays. I think I’ll get my cleaning here and find another dentist office that communicates effectively and values patients.

The doctor was very soothing. She explains things well. While working on me, the doctor and her assistant Anthony worked like a well oiled machine.They did most of the work in my first visit instead of making me go back 2 or 3 times. I was very impressed and grateful.

July 6, 2023Richard L.Verified patient

So the Zocdoc experience (first one!) was a little bumpy. I booked a cleaning at a new provider. Got a call one week out confirming my appointment from someone who sounded like they were calling from the provider but apparently was from Zocdoc. Upon the provider's true confirmation call the day of the appointment, I found out they only had me down for a consult. So after chatting qe booked a cleaning seperately (they just had a Friday 11am cancellation) and kept that consultation anyway (Wednesday 6pn). However, girl at the front desk was lookin out because I got a call back at 4pm as they had JUST gotten word of a cancellation for that evening at 5pm (basically an opportunity to do my cleaning before my consult). Everything was perfect from there! A+ cleaning, A+ staff, A+ tooth fix (they fixed a 20 yr old chip THAT DAY), A+ consult regarding other issues. Super friendly & knowledgeable all around. Thanks y'all!
