Went for first cleaning / check up and had great experience. Fabiola was very helpful by answering all my question and gave me best (and most comfortable) cleaning I ever received. Dr. Ryan was really nice and helpful as well. He took the time to make sure all my questions were answered.

I cannot speak enough to how attentive and caring the staff is. Cindy and Jessica and all of the office staff, the RDHs and the assistants, and Dr. Ryan and Dr. Rizzo will always go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and informed. It took me YEARS in NJ to find a dental office I trusted because of my anxiety (because I needed a lot of work) and I immediately felt at home. I’ve had cosmetic work and essentially oral surgery from Dr. Rizzo and he is an incredible provider, as is Dr. Ryan.

He had to step in when I had an emergency and was fantastic. Dr. Rizzo even called me while he was on vacation to check on me and call in meds when something went wrong. If you’re questioning if this is the place for you, trust me, it is. - Thomas ( a very experienced paramedic with horrific dental anxiety 😬) Side note : I used to hate my smile and hide it. I don’t anymore.

I have wanted a "perfect" smile my entire life. After being referred by a friend to Dr. Rizzo, I decided to bite (no pun intended) the bullet and make this dental dream come true. I needed a root canal, bridges, couple of crowns and veneers. This has been a long, expensive and sometimes painful process but I am ecstatic with my results.

Dr. Rizzo is a perfectionist, is patient and gentle, and has the best office ambience and staff I have ever seen in a medical office. His entire team is super friendly, and the office has a very feel-good vibe. 10 out of 10 doesn't seem to be high enough to score him and his practice. Highly recommend even if you're not in the Carlstdt area - I commuted an hour each way to be his patient, and am so glad I did!

I came to Dr. Rizzo with a lot of anxiety and fear about dental treatment, particularly a root canal I had been putting off for a long time. Dr. Rizzo was patient, compassionate, and incredibly understanding of my fears. He listened without judgment, explained everything thoroughly, and helped me feel safe and supported at every step.

Thanks to Dr. Rizzo, I made it through something I never thought I could do, and I’m so grateful. If you’re someone who struggles with dental anxiety or just wants a thoughtful, skilled, and kind provider, I couldn’t recommend him more. The entire office staff was also so kind and supportive throughout the process.
