Unfortunately for Dr. Salerno, the office staff at this practice are the real reason for why I'm writing this. He's not the warmest guy on the block, per se, while being treated by him. But he does describe everything he's doing and is going to do prior to doing it at the time of the procedure. I found that comforting and didn't mind his overall lack of bedside manor at all.
One time though, Dr. Salerno had to go on an emergency in the middle of my procedure. He left his assistant to finish putting in a temporary filling until I got my crown done. First she dropped the filling after trying to grind it down for a good fit, and then when she glued it in I could tell it wasn't going to stay. So I asked her to use the other, more adhesive kind. She said she'd call Salerno and ask him. She didn't do that at all; she walked out, and then back in and said he said it would be fine the way it was. The filling came out the next day.
BUT-this office is NOT competent at all. I was quoted one total for a crown that I would be having done, and then at the time of payment they quoted me a different total, and didn't even remember talking to me about it! I also got billed for a total that was already payed because of lost records.
About Hygienist: She's really nice and does a fine job.
