I wanted to start by saying I have an intense phobia of needles, dentists and doctors. I was given a referral to Dr Spina from a friend. I made an appointment and reluctantly went. Well, I am so happy I went. I had been putting off needed work because of my fear. Dr Spina not only calmed me down immensely but actually had me laughing in his chair!! He is an amazing Dentist with a fantastic sense of humor. I never thought in my wildest dreams I would actually be laughing while there. He does fantastic work and I’m thrilled I found him. 5 out of 5 from me. I highly recommend him. I would not like to forget the rest of his team: The hygienists, assistants and front desk are all lovely. You will have more than a pleasant experience no matter the procedure

Terrific Office All Around

First time visiting Dr. Spina. I had Dana for my cleaning and she was very gentle. Didn’t hurt at all. X-rays can sometimes hurt a lot for me but Dana knew just what to do to make it fast and painless. Dr Spina was friendly and his recommendations were spot on. Laid back, family atmosphere.
