I have been a patient of Dr. Papa's for 15 years and my husband (along with his first wife and children) were patients before that. If it weren't for Dr. Papa, I would have probably have let my gingivitis go, but he has always stressed the importance of healthy teeth and gums and with frequent teeth cleanings, I have achieved just that. Also, I have always been VERY stressed going to the dentist, but I must say, he is pain-free. Dr. Papa is also very fair on billing; his staff is very hepful and friendly. I wouldn't think of going to another dentist.
