If you are trying to find a dental team that will help make you feel at ease and truly care about the you, go to Goduco Smiles!! Dr. Goduco and team are professionals who truly know what they are doing and care about their patients.

I have had horrible experiences in the past with other clinics and Goduco Smiles was whole new outlook! They helped me take care of multiple issues and still made me feel at ease through the entire process! From getting my teeth evaluated, to the treatment plan and the follow up calls, Dr. Goduco and his team guide you step by step and treat you like family through the entire process! Their focus on oral care, comfort and education cannot be matched!

Staff is very friendly and welcoming. I have a very high anxiety for dentists offices and they were able to make me feel a bit calmer during the first consultation. Most dentists also include a cleaning in the first sitting so when I found out there wasn’t one I was a little disappointed. What tipped me off was over the phone I was told $100 for the first appt. Okay no big deal. Once I got sat down and she was going over numbers, she was trying to add stuff up and it was over 600. . I kept saying that i was told 100 over the phone and wasn’t prepared to pay 600 at that time.

. she then said she was going to give me credits and what not and that I would only be paying 100 today. A little scared I will get a bill from my insurance at this point but time will tell. So the appt goes on and everything was okay. I know I have a bunch of work that needed to be done. I have dental insurance. But apparently it’s either not very good or this place is just stupid expensive. They bring me a paper saying the total work that is needed to be done was over 12k total.

. when I was hesitant, they kept pushing. I get that you have a business but this is a big reason I hate even going to the dentist. When I asked if it’s something that could be broken up more over time, I was basically told no because prices would probably go up. They continued to be pushy even after I said I would need to think about it. The only reason I’m giving 2 stars and not 1 is the staff is very welcoming and nice (maybe not behind your back) but to your face they are at least. Overall very disappointed with this visit as I had higher hopes for it.

I have been going to Dr. Goduco for years and he always has been a great and wonderful experience! He is very dedicated, detailed, and knowledgeable with all of my dental needs. I would highly recommend him for major dental work such as implants and reconstructive dental procedures! 10/10!

In the past, I have suffered from dental anxiety that prevented me from going to the dentist. After too long I was lucky enough to find Dr. Goduco. His expertise in sleep-dentistry combined with the family atmosphere has kept me going back for 7 years now! Don't wait anymore - just go!
