Dr Vocaturo not only ruined my completely healthy teeth, but he also refined my life! I consulted with dr. Vocaturo and his partner dr. Lapine about replacing an old bridge and they suggested their "custom made veneers that protect the front and backs of teeth", which ended up being nothing more than full crowns! Anthony Vocaturo lied about the procedure and his staff was in on it too. When they showed me paperwork to sign I said, "I'm not getting crowns" and his secretary said it was just for insurance purposes" in case I needed a crown in the future. I had health teeth which dr Vocaturo reduced down to pegs! I was in severe pain for months and developed serious swelling after he drilled in my healthy teeth. Then a few visits later he said he made a mistake and needed to file down my teeth some more! I cried and told him I didn't want to but he insisted it was the only way. He was ride and yelled at me often. Very unprofessional. I heard from his own assistant, after the fact, that he has done this to other partners as well. Sad that his staff is well aware of his antics and go along with it.

About Front Desk: Candice lied to me about the procedure, she had me sign forms that cover their practice. She showed me Photos of patients who had whitening and passed them up as veneers. Something one of the assistants told me aftet the fact.

Hygiene rating:

About Hygienist: Jill from Vocaturo's Bayonne office failed to protect my teeth. She did a deep gum cleaning and saw bone loss but she didn't warn me against the invasive treatment that the dentist suggested. Looking back I understand now her reluctance when speaking with him, but of course he signs her pay check so she didn't warn me and just went along with it.

Hygiene time: 25

I know this doctor: 10 months
