Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Had to stop going here
The wait was always so long. So many times I would be taken into a room and wait for minimum 30 mins. Every single time I would come in, there was something new wrong until I met my deductible. She redid one of my fillings and left my tooth so incredibly sensitive and I again had to pay to have that fixed.

The staff is always pleasant and accommodating. I have never waited more than 5 minutes in the waiting room. Parking in the back is very convenient. Dr Ribeiro is very professional. She explains each procedure and constantly asks how I’m doing during the visit. She is very gentle. I had a few crowns put on and a few cavities filled and I never felt any pain. After routine checkups my teeth feel cleaner than ever.

I'm always nervous for any doctor's appointment, but Dr Ribeiro & her staff put me at ease, making me feel comfortable from the moment I enter the office. Dr Ana, as I refer to her, gives me a gentle & thorough cleaning & I don't feel a thing! She & Andrea are super attentive & listen with a smile (masked of course) to all my concerns no matter how busy they are. Spend the necessary time without rushing me. Super clean & pleasantly decorated office too!

Dr Ribeiro did a wonderful job putting a crown in. She was gentle and attentive and I have had no issues with a tooth that another dentist was ready to pull! She said she believes in keeping as much of a persons teeth intact, and getting it pulled would have been harder and more expensive in the end!

I visited Dr. Ribeiro’s Office yesterday (01/16/2020). I called that morning and they were able to fit me in the same day. I have not been to a dentist in over 15 years therefore I was quite nervous about going. Everyone in that office was so nice, completely professional and explained every procedure. The office was also very clean! Dr. Ribiero took care of the problem in my mouth explaining everything as she was going along. I felt completely comfortable and would highly recommend this dentist. I have an appointment scheduled for next week and I am actually looking forward to going back.

Dr. Ana Ribeiro and her staff are nice. I was in a lot of pain because of a root canal. I called and they were able to fit me in. I felt really comfortable there. She always explains everything using language understandable to the average person. Besides that, she is bilingual (English and Portuguese) which is helpful to me. I have been her patient since 2018. The office is modern and I’m very happy I found a great dentist.

Dr. Ribeiro took over this practice from my former dentist about 1-1/2 years ago. I have found her to be a very competent, caring and meticulous dentist who goes the extra mile with her patients. For example, she sent me an email explaining my five options and three educational videos after diagnosing an infection last week. She is a warm individual with a very good patient manner. She doesn’t rush through an appointment or push patients toward a particular procedure. Highly recommended.
