20 Best Dental Hygiene Programs In Rochester, NY (2022 Updated)

My son recently graduated from this college. He transferred in from a 2 year college so he was only there for 5 semesters. Things started okay but went downhill. Communication quickly became a problem. We had issues from professors, finance and counseling. It became so bad that to get anything done we had to cc the Dean in any messages that we sent. I also know of someone else who had to do the same thing. The last semester was the worst. He was enrolled as a full time student but when the bill came through it was in correct. We got loans for the first amount but had to get additional loans after the semester ended. No one sent an email we had to check the account because my son never received an email or his diploma. When we were notified by the finance department they told us we had to fix it. Numerous emails were sent to many different people but nothing was ever fixed. We finally resent the emails and cc’d the Dean and it finally got fixed. The college also changed the advisor without notifying us that it had changed. My son had to find his own internship and figure his classes out on his own. My daughter had the same issues with communication. She was signed up to go but never heard back. She then got a call from the advisor asking why she never showed up. The advisor had enrolled her in classes but never told her. She ended up not going. If you choose this college they will take your money but you will have to do a lot of work to make sure they are on top of things.Todd Crossett

I graduated from Roberts last year and I had a great experience. I do agree with some reviews that communication is not always great, but as long as you are proactive and take an active approach to your education here, you'll do wonderfully. The staff and students are very respectful and the professors seem to really care about you and your overall success. It is a nice size campus, not too busy and not too small. Finding a parking spot during busy times was a challenge. Food is AMAZINGstephanie g

I went to undergrad here and loved it. There were always opportunities to learn outside of class, meet people through activities, and my professors knew who I was. I'm attending for graduate school now and still love it. Staff and faculty genuinely care about you as a human and your learning.Caryn A

A wonderful place to go to school and a great place to visit. The students here are almost all very kind, sweet, accepting, supportive, and open-minded people. They are slightly diverse in terms of demographics, and quite diverse in terms of personality. The college offers a diverse range of majors and excellent classes. It has particularly great music, performing arts, nursing, and physical therapy programs. Class sizes are not very big, with very few lecture hall-style class settings. The teachers are mostly very kind and care greatly about what they do. Tuition is very high, but depending on your program, it can be worth it. The campus is beautiful! It is full of nature and a mix of collegiate gothic and more modern buildings. It is small and dense, but not crowded. It is also very safe. Risk of theft or damage to property is very rare, but the latter is more common among lowerclassmen. There is so much history to uncover. It is located close to good places to shop, eat, and visit in Pittsford. The academic buildings are clean, well-lit, and mostly fitted with modern amenities. Bathrooms in some buildings are very clean, some are quite unclean. The lowerclassmen residence halls can be somewhat loud, are typically slightly unclean, but have many events to attend run by the RAs. There are dorm or suite-style living choices. Upperclassmen residence halls are mostly clean, almost always very quiet, and have dorm, suite, apartment-style living choices. Living arrangements are for full-time students only. The food in the Dining Commons is pretty good. It has a pretty diverse menu with some options tasting decent, some great. Other food locations around campus have a somewhat limited menu range and the food is mediocre. Some alternative dietary accommodations are met, and more will be made if requested. Facilities staff are mostly not friendly, but not unkind. The staff in the Dining Commons are mostly pretty friendly and very kind.Graeme Lechner

I received counseling services from John Aceto at Nazareth College. This man is sexually inappropriate! I met him to work on my shyness, and for the entire session he tried diagnosing me other issues. He told me I drink coffee everyday because I have "Caffeine-use disorder." That rediculous disorder is not even in the DSM! Then he diagnosed my father with Bipolar disorder, based on my childhood memories. He never even met my father in person. After the session, he began rubbing his hand on my back, telling me that he wanted to "help me out." I felt violated. BEWARE of this man! He will rope you in for other issues and try to take advantage of you. I expressed my concerns to the director, Megan Clifford Papponetti, and she black mailed me. She threatened to have me suspended, and that is exactly what she attempted. She shared my confidential assessments and sessions with my Ex and even to my professors. My professors were concerned about me, saying that they received a strange call from Megan "bragging about the information she found out about me." That was PERSONAL information that I trusted with the Nazareth College Counseling Center, and I was humiliated. Nazareth College, you should be ashamed of yourself! Do not receive counseling services at Nazareth College, your confidential information is not safe.Anonymous User

Relentless support from faculty and staff. Incredible variety of undergrad majors and minors. Convenient scheduling for some business and leadership and some education grad programs. Friendly, beautiful campus. Big emphasis on hands-on learning and community engagement. Lots of study abroad options. Impressive students seeking to make a difference in the world.Chris Farnum

Since they have instituted 6 sessions Columbia College has proven they are not about the students. By making this move they force students to take student loans or lose part of their Pell grant due to not being enrolled full time. They try telling their students that 6 sessions per year will benefit them. Being a student that is currently enrolled and have been for a few years now I can tell you it is of no good to the student. Not only does it cost us more but instead of having any type of break between already accelerated courses we only have two days off. This is ultimately going to lead to more stressed out students and lower GPA's. There was a time I recommended this College to everyone I came across. Now sadly I make it very clear Columbia College is the worst college you could attend. It is a joke. Rolla's new policy if we don't offer something you need in seat take it online. Not mentioning that not only are online courses significantly more expensive but the work that is required for these is beyond reason. I am talking at minimum double the workload of an in seat class. The teachers are great, administration from the main campus down is terrible. This is no longer a student centered college no matter what their website portrays.Sean Dahlman

I'm currently enrolled at CC. This is the best college I've ever been to. The faculty is understanding and very helpful. They actually care about your education. My advisor was by far the best. She helped me through some very tough decisions and helped me to make the best financial decisions. I visited the enrollment center 3 times to change classes due to my own reasons and all three times they were understanding, helpful, and encouraging. I also went to the enrollment services about my financial status multiple times throughout the year and they were always there to help. They showed me my financial plan exactly including scholarships, loans, and grants. They explained everything to where I could understand and even printed me copies of my plan. BEST COLLEGE containing the VERY BEST PEOPLE! The other reviews that had one star and rude comments, it's because of their stupidity and closed mindedness. This college is truly amazing and makes you feel apart of the community, on or off campus.Rebecca Brewer

I had a terrible experience at this school. I would highly recommend not going to this college. They do not care about how you as the student does. All they care a bout is your money. You will NEVER hear back from any of your online teachers. I tried emailing a teaching with a question 3 times and not once did I hear back from the teacher. If for any reason you need to withdrawal they will not except it. Even if you withdraw a day or 2 after the deadline, they will make you pay every cent, even if you had good reason for the withdrawal. If you want to attend a college that cares about your needs and your success I would highly recommend choosing a different college because the only thing they care about at this college is getting your money. I'm reading all of these other reviews and I had similar experiences. The service is absolutely terrible! I will never return here and never recommend this pathetic college to anyone.Brandon Moore

It’s unfortunate that I have to write this review but I am in hopes of MCPHS revising their admissions process for the Physician Assistant Program. I know that I was not the only student this year that was invited to interview and then closed out of an interview spot and placed on a waiting list. When I contacted MCPHS they told me that I may not get to interview after all as they had accidentally invited too many people to interview and did not have the resources to open up more interview dates even though acceptances are not on a rolling basis. How does a top tier medical university not have the resources to interview all the students they invited? By choosing to interview solely the people that happened to secure spots first, not only are they limiting the potential of their incoming class and proving that they only care about filling the spots for monetary reasons, but they are limiting the future of numerous successful students who worked hard to get an interview invitation. When I asked Jordan Hunt (admissions counselor) to make sense of this she was unable to provide a competent answer besides that the university messed up and the incoming students are the ones facing the repercussions. I’m not writing this for myself, but for the other students who were too timid to speak up or who had chosen this school as their top choice and then got screwed. I truly feel bad for some of the other incoming students who do not have other options and were relying on MCPHS. I am very disappointed. MCPHS either needs to change their interviewing process to rolling acceptances (interviewing the top tier students first and then going down the line) or they need to use this model but be willing to open up more dates in case of overflow. Side note: They informed me that students on the waiting list could be notified up to a day before an interview that a spot had opened up. Do they not take into consideration that everyone doesn’t live near Boston or works full-time? Extremely dissatisfied with this supposedly “top tier” medical college.Maddy Frank

Hey guys, good for all the students giving great remarks. I don't know if the school has paid you. I must say i was in the nursing program , ( the set that started 2005) the teachers were very bad. Everything was very difficult, out of 50 students that got into the nursing program only 15 students or even less that graduated from the program. Judy Murphy was very racist, no room for improvement. It was a very bad school. I will recommend another school any day any time as matter off fact the school needs to refund money back to students that paid for tuition. All they care about is your money and not the students. It was a very traumatic experience. It was one of the worst decision i have ever made in life to attend that college. I Owe up to 100,000 in debt with no nursing degree to show for. I thank the Almighty God i got my degree from another school with no stress or frustration. Guys open your eyes and look for another school. I wish you all luck in your careers endeavors.louisa ngige

I just finished my second-year in PharmD program in MCPHS. I’m gonna transfer to Worcester to study the accelerated program. I have had great time in MCPHS so far. All professors are very nice and friendly. I haven’t met any professor who’s not willing to help student wholeheartedly. They always have office hours to answer students’ inquiries and to clarify the lecture in case the students don’t understand. There are absolutely no discrimination in MCPHS. It’s all about respect. Every MCP student is very welcoming so we have a very close-knit community in MCP. The program is well-designed and bearable. Sometime I feel overwhelmed but it’s not impossible to pass as many people say. You just need to put time and effort and you’ll be fine. In short, MCPHS is a great university for those who seriously pursuit a professional career in pharmacy and health sciences.Bill Nguyen

I will be completely honest. I did some PSEO courses here and thought it was a nice campus. There is some struggles and problems with the school, but nothing to make this not a choice for a college. Teachers are nice, most of the students are fine and just do there own thing, there is a couple of clubs and activities, and the class sizes see to be reasonable (smaller than JMHS). I think it is a good campus and should be considered an opinion and not thrown to the curb when looking for local colleges.Burner Account

What a joke… My wages are currently being levied for a semester I did not even get to attend! The Financial Aid/Counselor I worked with helped me sign up for all the classes needed for that semester but did not inform me that I had no available financial aid. By the time, I discovered this (3 weeks into class) it was too late to withdraw without paying full price. I called multiple people at the school but all refused to help or did not know how to help. Terrible practices.Nicholas Inman

Though some teachers care quite a bit the majority could care less about you and more about there personal life. Scared to walk around without being robbed. Worst school I have ever been too. Curriculum is nothing short of a disappointment. And to request help from anyone you might as well be strung up and laughed at in the main entry.Samantha Erickson

Terrible when it comes to visitors and what information they tell you. My sister is currently in this place and apparently I can’t visit her. When my mom called them, they told us “only two set visitors can show up to visit the patient.” Nowhere on the pamphlet did it say that. The pamphlet says “immediate family members are welcome to visit during the day” and “other family and friends may visit Monday-Friday”. Also, they said it’s a rule due to covid. Everybody in our family is vaccinated including my sister (the patient) + we haven’t been near anybody with covid at all. Thanks to the hospital to telling us about this policy, my brother and father have wasted just about 3 and a half hours of their day going to visit, told they can’t, and driving back. Also, what happened to the no electronics thing? Everybody was told she was not allowed near electronics, but all of a sudden, she’s allowed to have a zoom meeting via iPad? They just broke their own rule which was already stupid in the first place. This whole place is a disaster.AverageBoi2356

Spent 6 hours at this hospital. They don't seem to do anything but COVID. I told them multiple times I didn't have COVID but they wouldn't be convinced so they sent me home with no diagnosis, convinced they were right. Got my negative test result from them this morning but that doesn't help my 101 fever. People need to trust that a hospital will actually do their job instead of just assuming they know. Really scary and pathetic to think how many people this has happened to.djrethoret

Horrible if I could rate 0 stars I would. Honestly this has to be the most worst medical center in the US. It makes every other center pool bad this place should've been shut down from the start I hope they know how to deal with lawsuits better then they're students/patients cause by the way this place is running they're gonna have a fun time in court. Come to this place at your own risk. Waste of time, waste of money, and waste of tax payers money.Adam Picado

*COSMETOLOGY SCHOOL* I’m new to Meridian, I’m sure that MCC is a fine establishment. I have no problems with the school in general. But their cosmetology program is SEVERELY neglected, and I do have a problem with that!! I am a licensed hairstylist in the state of Florida, I have been doing hair for over 7 years and I won’t go through the long story of how I ended up being in MCC’s Cosmetology School for around two months (300 hours). But I will say that I have been in cosmetology school before and I have never in my life witnessed something so horribly unorganized. The teachers are awful, they did nothing to prepare me for the state board exams (which is the whole reason I was there) and they are unhelpful to the other students. They pick and choose what they let the students do. They do weird things that don’t make any sense. Everybody is mean to each other. I felt like I was in prison/day care/hell the whole time I was there. Many past students have filed complaints about the instructors and nothing has been done. I have no time to get into those politics with the school. But I will leave a review incase someone see it and gets it through their heads that they should look into this program. I am not happy with my experience, and I’m heartbroken for the people that I have met that are still in this school because they have paid to be there. I will not recommend anyone to this program. Some kind of investigation needs to be done. They can’t keep sending out unprepared hairstylists!!Bethany Ramage

I'm thinking about dropping my online class comp 2 with Amanda Thompson. She is so unbelievably rude. Never answers questions I have for the assignment…and when she does answer my questions she's rude. It sucks because I'm trying to get into dentistry school. But teachers do not understand that when you're that mean to a student it's scary and difficult for them to complete the course. I have had students earn me not to take her for comp 2. I WILL get my money back. I thought I could finish after midterm but I just can't do it. ***UPDATE*** SHE IS STILL COMPLETELY AWFUL WITH COMMUNICATION. I HAVENT HEARD FROM HER IN A WEEK I HAVE SENT MANY MESSAGES REGARDING A VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE*****emmeline “Emme” banks

It's changed now since I have been. Of the housing director is still Calvin. He needs to be fired and is impossible to get up with and will take care of nothing. They re did a lot and it looks nicerizzy E

Got my Master in Public Administration from Wagner Graduate School of Public Affairs in 1985. Not an ounce of financial aid – It was my one-hundred percent self-paid onus. Even with full-time work for the duration of full-time study, it was easier than where my Bachelor of Arts was from: Binghamton. Long story short, the Public and nonprofits sector didn't want me; but, made some successes in the Corporate world in Banking, Insurance, followed by Investment Brokerage. My point ? Be adaptable for all your endeavors, and a Master's degree allowed me to enter, and to succeed in, fields for which I had no experience ! Life is what you make it, folks.Lawrence Weinzimer

On October 24th, my boyfriend and I participated in ctour's one-day trip to the San Diego Sea World. We were very happy and enjoyed the whole day. Thank you Ctour, thank you tour guide Daniel for your leadership, we will choose Ctour when we come to California!WENDY

I started going to NYU dental clinic in October 2017 for a dental evaluation and any work that may be needed including one implant on the upper right quadrant which had been missing for several years. Five years and many visits later and I need more work than ever, and we are still nowhere close to replacing the tooth I originally came in for. Now that clinic has broken at least three other teeth that later needed to be removed and I’m now walking around with three missing teeth, and one half-broken-off tooth in need of extraction. With no treatment in the foreseeable future as their students will not even work on my teeth through no fault of my own. I often see ads for how great NYU College of Dentistry implants is, but they don’t tell people that it will take years to actually get one if ever. The students pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a dental degree at NYU and the school charges patients through insurance and private payments so they can practice but it treats the patients like dental training manikins. It takes weeks and sometimes months just to get an appointment and you have a bunch of follow-up appointments that could the rest of the semester to work on just one tooth. They take my blood pressure before starting a session, which has always been low as I exercise regularly and run 17-20 miles a week but all the damage they caused to my mouth required even more work than before and they wanted me to pay for the damage they caused. This resulted in a spike in blood pressure one time and asked me to leave and see a cardiologist which I did and after a battery of tests was told I was perfectly healthy. However, I refuse to go back to NYU Dental Clinic.Joseph vizzielli

It's the first time to go to dentist in the US and I was kind of nervous but my students were very nice and gentle. And sane students are in charge always you go.(If they graduate then different student will be.) Usually a junior and a senior student are one pair. And it is appreciative price not like super expensive dentists. Treatments may take time since students give you the treatments mostly with supervised the dentist professor only at the beginning or the end so I recommend you if you can be patient and give them enough time. Just one thing, I went here for a filling treatment and I didn’t feel any pain at all and I didn’t know what kind of filling procedure they will give me. Then the senior student gave me TWO anesthesia shots which were UNNECESSARY!! I couldn’t tell my filling was good or not because of numbness around my teeth and mouth so I had to go back one more time to adjust on different day. My mouth was uncomfortable during the period. So it’s better you ask them every time BEFORE they do treatment for your teeth.日福米豪

I have been trying to get an appointment here for over 2 years. Each time I call, I am told different things and that's only if they pick up. I was told by their staff I was indeed a good fit for their disability dental clinic. I was told they don't take medicaid despite it saying it on their own website. When I pointed that out to the receptionist, she snapped at me about how that's not in her control. I was just letting you know so someone could take it off the website if its not true and then people wouldn't call and waste your time asking if you take medicaid. But to add on to that, another receptionist said you DO take medicaid. This place is very confusing and disorganized. I really needed your services and the crazy thing is, I still do! The longer it takes, the more afraid I will be of the dentist. I just wish if you weren't gonna help, You would've been upfront, honest and not let me suffer in pain for a return call that never came. I really had faith in you.Angel Baby

After an agonizing search I landed on Touro College and definitely no regrets. I was “assigned” 2 gentlemen students (I apologize but I can only recall the name Kevin). They’re both super great! The whole staff is very attentive and answered all of my questions in detail. They worked personally with me to not only make me feel super comfortable but financially, they “investigated “ my prior dental searches as to not repeat any unnecessary procedures such as X-rays. As to cause me any unnecessary cost. I look forward to achieving my dentistry goals with Touro college and my awesome dentistry team!sheryl washko

I had a very good experience at Touro today. My student Mitchell and his student assistant ? Shenyu were both very thorough and competent in my care. Dr Sheehan is an amazing instructor and doctor. He is concerned for both the student and patient equally. He took the time to answer all of my questions without hesitation. He made sure that my dental work was done correctly and completely. I feel like I received excellent dental care today.Liz Mulligan

Once I got settled with the great dentists at the Complex Clinic I’ve had an incredible experience. I had suffered for more than ten years with terrible teeth, and now I’m finally on my way to feeling secure and unashamed. My dentists are amazing, like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Everyone is team oriented, the dentists take charge, and the students are incredible! Everyone is shocked at how beautiful my smile is, and I’m happy to smile!nancy Eisen

I really enjoyed the MA program and I learned so much. Something that I really appreciated about the school is that we had ALL the resources we need for certification studying–and all of the professors are extremely knowledgeable about their fields and gave plenty of tips and tricks for how to maximize your potential in the field. The biggest reason I'm sticking to four stars is that I had a pretty bad experience with one of my professors and I don't agree with some of the attendance procedures–having no absences excused unless the school cancels classes isn't reflective of an individual student's situation (I know this first-hand), but all-in-all, it's a nine month program, and the amount you learn and experience completely outweighs the poor aspects.Kendall Eley

I can only speak about my experiences here at Pima but I can honestly say it’s been life changing for me. I’ve completed my Registered Dental assistant program and I’m currently half way through my Radiology program and all I can say is that I’ve had nothing but good instructors in both programs. They really push you towards succeeding and the classes are well developed for you to learn. The prices are a little over the top but seeing how it’s a institute it’s expected. Overall I’ve really appreciated everything Pima has done for me, I really recommend it to anybody who wants to kickstart their medical career!Isaac Razo

I am currently on the MA program, and it has been a pretty good experience. I am able to have time to study and also work and balance everything else with it. The team of this school is very professional and really care about their students, they are always willing to help you if you need help from them. I really like that they even have tutoring to help you if you struggling in a class. The career services team is an amazing team who works with you to find the right fit for you to do your externship, so you can be successful on this new path that you have chosen.Massiel Martinez

Hopefully they remove all the creepy staff…. Counselor Camacho has stalked more than one friend on IG. There's a whole reddit page exposing the staff but touro doesn't fire anyone or care about the studentsTaylor Oh

Great education with professional team of professors and location is perfect , also not cost a fortune just like others.Burhan Sebin

I went to this Community College back in the Mid-2000s. When I first started, I scored very low on the English/Math/Comprehension Reading so I had to start with the prerequisite course before I could entered the college level courses. After a year and a half, I struggled with the academic (English/Math/Comprehension Reading) and all the teachers I had at that time would just advise me to go to the computer lab/learning room for help and never did help me improve on a one-on-one basic. I felt like I was never appreciated in those classes. At that current time, D2L was starting in place so portion of the classes' discussion/homework were online. I still remember other students never helping me and always correcting or making fun of my errors in writing. There was a teacher's conference one-on-one meeting with every student and I still remembered it until this day. The last words from that teacher was, " With how you are doing in this class, you will not make it and I would have to fail you." I dropped out of Century College soon after and owed a couple thousand dollars in debt. Long story short: Then I decided to transferred to InverHills Community College (IHCC) and that was where the difference came in. The feeling and care for the students were so different. Teachers' there at InverHills Community College were able to help and assist me to improve my academic issues that I had. I still remember a teacher staying 30 minutes-45 minutes later after class just to help me everytime. I graduated at IHCC with my associate's degree then proceed onwards to finishing my Double Major Bachelor's Degree at MetroState University.John Bradley

Apathetic faculty providing misinformation at an obvious cash grab. The counselors are useless and ended up providing me with false information that delayed my education while also costing me thousands of dollars. They absolutely refused to take any responsibility and side-stepped my inquiries every single time. While I did have some excellent instructors, it was always a toss up what type of instructor I would get. Four times out of five I ended up with an instructor who either didn't care about the class they were teaching or just plain didn't have the aptitude to teach the class. Most times I ended up teaching my courses to myself. There really seems to be no standard of education that the faculty strives for. I would not recommend anyone to attend this college. Before I get a response from anyone at Century I'll make it known that I have no interest in filling out any sort of suggestion card or survey. If you really want to discuss the issues presented in my review provide me with a telephone number that I can call to set up an appointment in-person.Matt

Enroll here. I'm highly satisfied with my experience at Century College as a student. The post-secondary education community here has gone beyond my expectations to support my continued education as a transfer student. I'm thankful for the experienced instructors, who have given me a wealth of knowledge here. The support staff are excellent, including TLC, Writing Center, Math Center, Advising, Counseling, Information Technologists, and Librarians. They connect students with excellent resources outside of the classroom. The resources available here are comparable to any private institution, and cost per credit is the most affordable on the market.Louise Brask

They really did think of everything! I appreciate how well run, organized, and friendly the office/secretary is. It was many months to get a new patient visit for my 3 years old twins so they put me on a cancellation list and offered openings via text as they came up, which was great and allowed us to get in sooner. (Side note: this office is definitely worth the wait). The office is bright and nicely decorated- love the aesthetic. The hygienists we worked with did an amazing job connecting with toddlers who felt a bit nervous about a new experience. I absolutely LOVED the education they provided about brushing and healthy/unhealthy foods- it was developmentally appropriate and made a huge impression on our boys. They have sunglasses for the kids to wear under the bright light…lots of little details like that are accounted for. Dr. Zach was great- clearly knowledgeable and great approach with kids. Everything was efficient and timed perfectly. And my boys thought their finger flashlight prize was the coolest! They keep asking when they can go back to see Dr. Zach! I really can't think of anything that could have been improved.Krista Damann

I can’t say enough good things about this office, Dr Zach and his team! They are warm, welcoming and amazing with kids. I took my 2 year old for her first visit today, she was crying the whole way there saying how she didn’t want to go. Within minutes of entering the room her dental hygienist Cheree had her feeling so comfortable and sitting in the chair following instructions with ease. The rooms are kid friendly and have TVs with shows to help entertain the kids. Dr Zach is super sweet and was also amazing with my daughter. They also do a great job with education for both patient and parent. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a pediatric dentist!!Anita Davis

Dr. Zach is by far the greatest pediatric dentist ever!!! We have been more than impressed by his care of our children. None of our kiddos ever worry when we have to go to the dentist and are always excited knowing they’ll be going to see Dr. Zach. We drive over an hour so my kids can continue to see him. One of our children had a medical issue discovered by Dr. Zach and he went above and beyond to ensure we got prompt and the best care with a referral to an oral surgeon. He even checked up on him after. Excellent Dentist and the staff are also amazing. You would not be disappointed getting care here!Ash Ley

Dr. T and staff: thank you so much! I am not the best patient; yet you and your staff continue to treat me like I am. When I attend my appointments, I truly feel, as soon as I enter that door, that I'm not inconveniencing anybody in that office. I appreciate Dr. T's patience and grace in educating me with my dental needs. You know, I've gone through so many damned dentists; not one of them had ever come to a complete stop in the work to address my darn bite. Until I had come to this office, I never knew my true bite. Dr. T and his staff pretty much stopped in their tracks and had to go back to the drawing board because my bite was kooky and a re-cast was needed … long story short, I had to go back several times just to take care of one broken crown. But each time I go back, I don't feel bad or embarrassed, and I feel respected. The entire staff is excellent in what they do, and the pride they have in what they do makes me feel rest-assured that I've found the best dental office on this island!Manny T

Excellent service and a friendly, comforting bedside manner, very accommodating schedule. I was in a lot of pain from multiple issues that I had procrastinated taking care of. Dr Takagi and his staff arranged for a treatment evaluation and Bonnie explained what my insurance would cover and what I'd pay out-of-pocket. Then they setup an immediate care appt to get my pain under control on their lunch break, very much appreciated! Jade does a great job of explaining dental care and I actually enjoy my cleanings. Dr Takagi was recommended to me by a friend and I recommend his clinic to all my friends looking for excellent care.Marcos Garcia

Growing up in a military family, I've experienced many different dentist offices. Some have been good, others have been just okay, but none have come close to matching the quality and care I receive from Dr. Takagi and his staff. I felt comfortable from my very first appointment. From the friendly receptionist, to the well-trained dental hygienists, to Dr. Takagi himself, everyone goes above and beyond to make sure I'm comfortable. Dr. Takagi is exactly what you want from a dentist, thorough, meticulous and friendly. My teeth have never looked better and that's why I highly recommend Dr. Takagi!Chris Bednarek

Every interaction from dentists, to hygienists, to the staff at the desk make me feel like I’m coming back to seeing old friends. They do tremendous work, but I find the most value in how welcoming they are! They consistently remember specifics from past conversations about my wedding and family, personalizing the experience, and it shows how they truly care about their patients. The people here make going to the dentist an enjoyable experience!Adam Mutch

Wish I had found this office 20 years ago! They are Fairport FAMILY Dental because they are like a family. Very friendly atmosphere from reception to office manager to appointment coordinator and on and on. Dr. Mary Ann who saw me was great! She was thorough and made me feel as though I had been seeing her for years! Highly recommend this practice if you are looking for a very positive dental experience.R B

One of the only dental offices that are actually listening to their patient concerns and wishes and treating you with respect. I really like to be aware of every little detail that’s happening to my teeth and my kids teeth. I also want to be able to make the treatment decisions by myself and not to be pushed into unnecessary procedures and Reaves Dental are exceeding all my expectations. Very informative first visits and they also gave us new electric toothbrushes in their welcoming kit which shows that healthy teeth are indeed their true goal. Very well organized office, quick response and great overall care. Prices are affordable as wellElena Sementsov

Very Welcoming Dental Practice when you arrive and check in. I didn't wait long and had a cleaning with Pam who always is pleasant and happy to see me. She makes the cleaning as enjoyable as a cleaning is. She takes time to explain her dental observations, makes recommendations, and shares any concerns in a good way. Dr. Amela is very pleasant and friendly to deal with and has done a great job with my dental exams and past procedures. I highly recommend the Reaves Dental practiceDan English

Have been going there since Ben and I moved to Utica. My first visit was because my teeth had been ruined by breakage do to steroids and oxygen by mask. Every visit has always been fine.Everyone has always treated my kindly and with attention to detail. My teeth cleaning was an excellent experience,with both the cleaning and the dentist. The appointments are always on time and the checkout is efficient and all staff are friendly and concerned. Thank you,SuzanneSuzanne Furst

Chen Family Dentistry is a small and cozy little place that makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door. The entire building is tastefully decorated, which reflects the expertise awaiting you. Dr. Chen is kind and patient, and happy to explain everything in layman terms. There are small details all throughout the business that show how much the staff truly cares for their patients, such as air purifiers in every room and really comfy chairs. Dental work is something I have always been terrified of but I truly feel comfortable with Dr. Chen. I know that she will be slow and patient and prioritize my comfortability as a patient. I will continue to recommend people to her practice, and I look forward to getting cleanings here.Emily Schwartz

Hands down, Dr. Chen is my favorite dentist. The staff she works with is also super nice and friendly. It had been well over 10 years since I last visited her specifically. The level of care I received surpassed the fond memories I had of her practice. I had always loved it there. This time, it was like returning to family. Dr. Chen and staff helped me so much with my dental care. My only regret is that I didn't reach out to her practice sooner. Still, I am so happy to be back. 10/10 will be back again.Kia Kilpatrick

Chen Family Dentistry is outstanding. The staff is courteous and thoughtful. The facility is immaculate. Dr Chen is an excellent dentist. She communicated well with me regarding both necessary and recommended procedures so that I understood the difference and could better plan my dental health care. She repaired a badly damaged crown for me and did so with utmost consideration for my comfort and the quality of my crown. Excellent experience.Jorge Diaz

I haven’t gone to a dentist in 6 years. I was so nervous and embarrassed about it. This is the most positive experience I have ever had at a dentist. Every single person was phenomenal and kind. I had a wonderful tech bring me back and get xrays done. The place was clean and quiet. I felt comfortable talking about my concerns and no one made me feel stupid or ashamed. It felt so personal like everyone cares so much about oral health. I left my appointment feeling educated about the issues I have, with a clear plan to better my smile. I will be coming back regularly. I left Brockport Smiles with a huge smile!! It was such a pleasure to go to this office and I am now looking forward to my next visit.Claire Crudele

I had an amazing experience with my Dental hygienist Tiffany .She is knowledgable , professional and very personable. The professionalism and friendliness of the whole team is outstanding.From the first day I visited this office I’ve felt as though I’ve been cared for and treated like family. My teeth have been in perfect condition since visiting here for almost 6 years now. Every visit is like visiting friends. I couldn’t be happier with the results. My friend told me "your teeth are white and perfectly straight !" and I was like "awww thank you! and Thanks to my dentist at Brockport Smiles !" *made my day !*Aiza Eichas

Our current insurances(hubby and I) don't allow very many choices and none we feel comfortable with..I took a leap and went to Dr Thaney and absolutely have no regrets. Every single staff member from receptionist to hygienist is A+. Leave your anxiety at the door bc they all truly are there to give each individual person a individual positive experience..my hubby even followed…when anyone is looking for a compassionate, wise,patient and no rush out dentist or hygienist I recommend here!!!Shayna Loescher

Today I was in to see Dr. Ruchlin and his great staff to remove my back molar tooth that had, had a gold crown. This crown from decades ago had fallen off months before from the decay being so severe under it. It took some of the tooth with it, leaving a large around base without any height to grab onto! The Dr. Had to cut the tooth in 1/4's to have something to grab. I'm not one for pain at all. The Dr. Numbed me up so well that I felt very little. He did a stellar job going slowly, using his patience and finesse to get it all out. He was so thorough all the way. Another successful visit to Dr. Ruchlin and staff, who all make you feel like family! I highly recommend him for any dental need.David Gaylord

The Best Dental Office. I have been with Dr. Ruchlin since he took over for the other dentist that I had been with all my life. Dr. Ruchlin and his staff are very thorough and knowledgeable. Everyone in the office is very friendly and caring. Dr. Ruchlin takes his time with the dental work that he is doing with your teeth. My hygienist also takes her time with cleaning my teeth. When I'm in the office I feel like I'm part of a family. Highly recommended.cathryn Kernehan

Dr. Ruchlin and his staff were very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable in making sure that my customized mouthguard properly fit. They took the time to explain that it will take some time fr me to adjust to sleeping at night with the mouthguard. They noted that I can call them in 1 week to give them feedback on how my mouthguard is working out for me. In due time, I hope that the mouthguard will reduce my migraine headaches!Paul Fischette
