Dr Riforgiate has been my dentist for many years. He is a wonderful dentist and a lovely person to know. His staff is always pleasant, as well. I live 30 minutes away and would make the drive if I lived an hour away ... He's that good! I've been blessed all these years to have had him for my dentist and the good news is I still have all my teeth.

Dr. Riforgiate has been my family's dentist for over 30 years. He and his staff are compassionate and caring, and treat you like family. They bend over backwards to make sure you get the care you need, when you need it. He makes himself available for emergencies, and there is literally no turnover in staff, so you're always getting the same excellent care. I cannot recommend this office enough. Even though we recently moved 1 1/2 hours away, we are still going to this office. He and his staff are second to none!

Dr. Tony has been my dentist for more than 15 years. This is a consistently great office that never makes me wait and always bends over backwards to address my concerns. I love that I see the same great people each visit. Bridget is a wonderful hygienist and Tammy at the front desk is always friendly and efficient.

I had a really bad experience with a dentist a long time ago! That made me very nervous and, quite frankly, scared to go to another dentist! But after moving to California 10 years ago, I had a problem that required a dentist! Dr. Riforgiate was highly recommended by a family member so I called and made an appointment! From the time I walked into the office, the staff and Dr. Riforgiate just made me feel like I was the most important person there! Then when the doctor started working on me, he was so gentle, always asking if I was ok and making if I was ok. Well, I have been going twice a year since then and I actually look forward to going TO THE DENTIST! I love everyone in that office. I highly recommend Dr. Riforgiate and every one of his staff!
