Review Description: "I have been afraid of the dentist all my life
and so I avoided going. Of course I ran into a problem with one of my teeth and had to have
a root canal. I had such anxiety about it, but in the end I couldn't have had a better experience.
Dr Maniscalco put me at ease, explained what I needed to know about the procedure without
scaring me and did an unbelievable job. I barely felt a thing. I am also afraid of needles
and he gave me the novocaine so great I could barely even feel it. Because of this experience
I feel completely comfortable putting my dental health in his hands and I've decided to get
regular cleanings and take better care of my teeth.. I have nothing but great things to say!!"
Testimonials for Joseph Maniscalco, DDS
"Had it not been for Dr. M's discovery of a small
adhesion in my husband’s mouth, we might now be battling cancer. He is very special to us.
My root canal and crown are the best I ever had."
— Sheri
Dear Dr. Maniscalco,
"I wanted to drop you a
line to let you know what a positive experience I had with the filling you addressed for me.
Not only do I not have any sensitivity in the tooth (Hopefully that = no root Canal) but I
also felt NOTHING during the actual procedure. That was a first in 38 years, so thank you!
Looks like I chose the right dentist."
— Debbie B
"The (dental treatment) experience is unique,
both the office and staff. Staff is focused on patient care and on me, the patient. The office
and treatment areas reinforce that your focus is on patient care. I experience this focus as
expert knowledge and true caring, therefore I trust."
— Anne N.
"I recommend Dr. Maniscalco especially for patients
who have any special concerns or phobias. He has developed advanced techniques for dealing with patients
who have such strong fears that they stay away from the dentist's chair to the detriment of their health.
The office will work with you to coordinate with your dental insurance or savings. No waiting for months
to get an appointment and he easy to get in touch with and available for emergency appointments."
— Andrea
"I am a very nervous patient. Everyone (at your
office) is patient and professional in taking care of me. Thank you."
— Helen C.
"I appreciate the personal touch, it helps.
A couple of times Dr.Maniscalco followed up with me after a procedure which I thought was
great customer service. Also, remembering my pre-visit meds and having them available is great."
— Bob H.
"Thank you for making the dentist a pleasant experience.
Tooth problems are never easy to deal with when you are in pain. You guys have been great."
— Shane M.
Dear Doc,
"I'm sending you this letter to
congratulate you on a well sculptured set of implants. With all of the bad experiences I had
with the last four dentists you are the epitome of an exceptional dentist. My teeth are better
sculpted than most people I meet in the entertainment industry. Since I'm considered one of the
most famous custom car builders working — along side of George Barris as his East Coast
Representative, it is necessary that my smile makes me look good. My teeth do not look man-made
and when I smile I'm proud of the slightly imperfect look that makes it look authentic.
"My gums and bone structure had gotten messed up by some so-called professionals; thank you for fixing those problems too. Your surgical procedures really made a difference; not one of the dentists that I used before you, can hold a candle to your dental skill and professionalism.
"I would recommend you to anyone in the movie industry as well
as to my friends — and will do so on a regular basis.
— Anthony, New York
"I haven't had a chance to write sooner, but Dr. Maniscalco
called me back on the eve before Thanksgiving, and was really nice to me on the phone. I wouldn't hesitate
(after him returning a page while he was traveling) to try him out."
— D
"Our family has never been happier with a dentist — and believe me — we have had our share of the good, the bad and the other type. Dr. Maniscalco is great.
"Funny, I was telling a colleague the other day about my childhood memories of dental visits when growing up in New Jersey. My parents took us to what one might call a not-so-kid-friendly dentist who gave no Novocain except for extractions!
"We all had 'soft teeth', very tightly packed in our little mouths — so a lot of cavities — and the pain level was indescribable — coupled with the mind-numbing jackhammer of a drill. I would have to go for four or five visits — and then six months later, it started all over again. I seem to remember feigning a lot of stomachaches in those days.
"My experience with Dr. Maniscalco has been so very different.
I cannot recommend him and his incredible friendly, caring staff enough. He is our dental hero!!"
