Dr. Manago is an excellent dentist! He is very reassuring, he always explains exactly what he is doing, and he has an extremely gentle touch. Before my first appointment with Dr. Manago, I hadn't been to a dentist in years because I was too afraid to go. When I finally got the courage to go, I intially chose Dr. Manago because his office was located across the hall from mine and he always seemed so nice and friendly. Well I made an excellent choice because his chair side manner was so wonderful that my visit was actually painless and pleasant! He is also very competent and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him. His office also has a fabulous view of the ocean! The staff in his office are also friendly and courteous. They were wonderful with handling the insurance and billing. All I had to do was show them my insurance card and pay my $10 co-payment. Dr. Manago and his staff are fantastic!
