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.

Coming here for the last 15 years for numerous problems, excellent doctor and staff. I have my teeth cleaned here every 3 months with the best hygienist Dawn. The front office staff is always friendly and helpful.

After being a patient of over 20 years, I would not see another periodontist. My hygienist Sandra is the best.

I can't say enough about everyone here - from Valerie to Dr. Carazola to Dawn. Professional, friendly & courteous are words that a lot of people use - but I really do mean them. I am so glad that I have a place to go - not only to have my teeth taken care of, but to get up-to-date advice from freindly, courteous people that actually take a sincere interest in you. I am very thankful for this. I only mentioned 3 people above, but I have had the chance to meet and inter...

Dr. Carazola has done two root lengthening procedures on me prior to having caps placed on my teeth. He is very good and his office staff are great. He is methodical and has his patients best interests in mind. My general dentist referred me to him the first time and I had no issues with returning for a second procedure.

The procedure was well explained and the care was first class. The entire staff is professional, personable, and courteous. I would recommend Dr. Carazola to anyone. The procedure was completely painless as I followed the instructions to the letter. They have been accommodating with all of my follow-up's.

I am so happy that I found Dr Carazola. He is very knowledgeable but is able to use language that a layman can understand. I needed gum surgery and I had deep pockets. Now that I have followed through with his treatment I have normal pocket depths. He even called me the night of my surgery to check on me. This office takes it to another level. Very classy.
