I've been in for a regular cleaning and digital x-rays once. I went back for 2 cavity fillings and 2 3/4 crowns. Dr. Marino only does the white fillings - no mercury. I had a deep cavity and and she recommended a 3/4 crown which is very expensive (I assume this is the typical price) that my secondary insurance didn't cover, but was expected. The office had difficulty finding out about my secondary insurance, but it worked out eventually. The cleanings are done by one of the 2 doctors, not with a hygenist. Same with the drilling/fillings. I thought that everyone was nice, but both the doctor and front desk just weren't super nice. They tried to make me comfortable, but it was still a little awkward for whatever reason. The office is spotless and relaxing. They have DVD players/TV in each of the rooms during longer procedures. There are water fountains in each of the rooms, too. The restroom has a little basket of mini size Bath and Body Works lotions for your hands. Very cute. Maybe I personally just didn't click well? They are all very nice.
