I saw Dr. Fantasia for the first time this week. He made me feel so at ease, with his knowledge and gentleness, answering all my questions and explaining everything. I walked in very nervous, but walked out with confidence. Dr. Fantasia has the experience, and it shows. I’m grateful that I was able to see him and finally get a diagnosis. Now I can sleep better without worrying.

Dr. Fantasiais truly isa wonderful person on many levels, besides being a brilliant doctor. There are most doctors who unfortunately treat people like a number and there are very rare doctors who sincerely take a personal interest in one's journey who is going through some challenges, as I am. .

There is no doubt that the combination of Dr. Fantasia and his wonderful assistant Diane, are both enriched with empathy, caring, and truly take a personal interest in the patient at all levels. Most importantly, they "listen" and don't talk "at you" but take the time to understand what the challenges are and go into detail of what can be done to alleviate those challenges as much as possible. I truly believe Dr.

Fantasiai practices medicine because he wants to help people and that is a noble cause and calling. The entire experience was enjoyable, and we all know "doctor visits" oftentimes are not the best experiences, but with his office-there is a sense of empathy that truly transcends the "Doctor machine" which sometimes Doctor's offices oftentimes become.

Dr. Fantasia is the only doctor who was able to diagnose me immediately after asking a few questions. Amazingly enough, he was able to diagnose me, without my having to have a bunch of tests that would cost me a fortune. He looked in my mouth, gave me a diagnosis and prescribed a specific medication for me to take (which by the way, helped me after one full dose). If you have any reservations about seeing another person due to him being a dentist, please don’t.

Dr. Fantasia is one of the kindest people I know. His depth of knowledge regarding the mouth & related health problems is AMAZING!!! If you have any problems within your mouth please do yourself a favor and get an appointment with Dr. Fantasia immediately. No bull—— he’s the best!

We were referred to Dr. John Fantasia for a biopsy of painful mouth sores. Dr. Fantasia reviewed my Nay’s (Mother in Tagalog) medical history and prescription medications thoroughly. He asked my Nay many health-related questions - chicken pox, spleen rupture, hip fracture, cataracts, glaucoma - and discussed with a young lady dentist, whose name I didn’t catch, what could the painful white mouth sores be, its cause, what tests to conduct and which medications to prescribe in order to relieve my Nay of pain. He listened when I related our visit to an ER a few days before the sores broke out. He was exhaustive in diagnosing. I sensed how thorough his thought process was.

He didn’t think a biopsy would be helpful. Instead he ordered blood tests. He himself called me to tell me the tests’ results. He even apologized for the delay. He is patient and answered my questions. He asked how my Nay is. When I told him that the pain is worse again and that my Nay feels weakness, he reevaluated and told me to stop the anti-viral medicine, take the steroid in the morning and that may also be stopped on Monday. I asked how would we know whether or not to stop taking it, he said, “I will call you.

” As I was thanking him, he said, “Give her my best. ”🫡🫡🫡 My Nay and I are infinitely grateful to and extremely appreciative of Dr. Fantasia and his team. Ms. Diane/Ms. Anne (pardon my confusion with names) was also so nice to get us and walk us out! Kind dental professionals alleviate the physical pain of what is likely shingles in the mouth.
