Smiles by Rizzo

Excellent care by Dr Rizzo. I had a root canal performed 8am and immediately after the procedure, I went to work. There was no pain/recoup necessary. He is extremely experienced and gentle in his profession. On my return from Florida, I needed to have a molar removed and went straight to Dr. Rizzo. He removed all my fears and apprehension.

I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Rizzo's office to anyone needing any level of dental care. His office is immaculate, his team is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and I have referred him to many friends and family.

In a heartbeat, I recommend Dr Rizzo to friends, family, and coworkers! His work is top quality. His chair side mannerisms are a wonderful blend of professionalism, humor, and true compassion. He knows his profession, doesn't super-size your experience with up-selling services.

The staff at Smiles by Rizzo echo their leadership example. They're all warmly welcoming, knowledgeable, and ease any apprehensions about your visits to the dentist.

The office itself is a nice blend of professional, warmth, and old school (not dated) - not the cold, post industrial norm for medical offices.

In the 2 decades I've visited Dr Rizzo, I've met his mother, wife and 2 boys working there at one time or another. Those encounters cemented the "family" bond in his practice and affirmed our family's confidence and great comfort in faithfully returning for all of our dental needs. From appearances, patients are treated like an extension of family.

I have been a patient of Dr. Rizzo's for almost thirty years. He is a wonderful doctor, who really cares about his patients. He is also one of the nicest people that you will meet. The office is spotless and welcoming. The dental hygienists are top quality. I urge anyone who is looking for a dentist to call Dr. Rizzo.

Dr. Rizzo and his team are top notch, friendly, and caring. You're in good hands. Dr. Rizzo is highly skilled and does great work. Ever since I started coming here, my teeth have never looked so beautiful and healthy. I like the fact that they are attentive and remind you on cleanings and checkups and that I am not forgotten. Appointments are easy to make. They will work with you and your insurance so costs are reasonable. Honestly, I think he's the best dentist I've ever had. Thanks for giving me an even better smile!

Very nice very clean ! Everyone is very sweet and accommodating. Myself and my son have been going for a couple of years now. Totally recommend.

Dr. Rizzo and his staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable. From the minute I arrived I could tell I was in good hands. He uses very state of the art X-ray technology and they showed me close up photos and corresponding X-rays for all the details of my teeth. I highly recommend this practice!

So I've been with Dr.Rizzo for the last 5 years.He's fun.he's also an incredible dentist.Well I broke a molar last Thursday on some crappy popcorn so I call to get an appointment.Well dr Rizzo is unavailable so they put me with Dr Herila.Who?I don't know her,can I wait for Rizzo?Nope.Shes good.Everyone loves her....Well,I don't have a choice so off I go.Once I see the x ray I know I'm headed for root canal city....Dr Herila takes the time to explain it all to me and to make sure I have enough novacaine on board.She also numbs the area with gel before hitting me with the shots of novacaine!!!!Well,there was more infection than she thought there would be which meant longer chair time for me.Nothing hurt.She was incredibly detailed and gentle making extra sure to get all the infection out once she cleared the root.Root canals are considered " major procedures" but she made it feel like spa day.At one point I did need more novacaine and she left the room while it was setting in.The assistant who was also amazing (I'm so sorry didn't remember her name.The Polish lady)never once left my side.Making small talk made the visit so much more comforting.I am I think now past my fear of dental care and am looking forward to my upcoming follow up and next step in 2 weeks.
This whole office is amazing from phone call to financial planning.Now that I've posted this,dont all you people go bum rushing this office for a visit with Dr.Herila.No bogarting my dentist....

Dr Herila is the best. She is caring and meticulous.

I really enjoyed my visit to the office of Gerald V. Rizzo, D.M.D.. Im not a big fan of dentist visits, but this was one that I can say I actually enjoyed. From my first contact with Jessica, it was all smooth sailing. She was super attentive with my insurance and made numerous calls back and forth to me and my insurance provider in order to have me and my son all set up for our first visit. She was great and made a fantastic first impression. Kudos to Jessica!

I needed a second visit and it was as smooth as the first one. Usually a first visit goes better than a second as on the first visit they try to make an impression in order to get you back in the door, not this place. The second visit was as pleasant as the first, and Im sure as the third, forth and so on.

I think I found a dentist for life for both me and my son.

Thank you to all at the offices of Gerald V. Rizzo, D.M.D. for your GREAT service!

I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Rizzo and his staff. I recently moved up north from south Jersey and was in search of a new dentist. When I first entered the office I was greeted by a friendly competent staff with nothing but positive energy. I went for a cleaning and was assisted by a very knowledgeable dental assistant who did an excellent job. I later met Dr. Rizzo who had great personality and made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Rizzo took the time to go over my films explained some issues I was having, and never pushed me to have any procedure I did not want performed.

Upon his recommendation, I had two fillings done recently. I can't express enough what an incredible job Dr. Rizzo did! Not only did I not feel the injections from the numbing solution, but Dr. Rizzo worked efficiently and delicately ensuring that the work was performed correctly. In fact, during the procedure, at many times he indicated to his assistant to take her time and not to rush to ensure the procedure was done correctly. As a new patient, there is nothing more refreshing to know that you are in the hands of a true professional and master of his craft. I didn't feel rushed at all. He answered all of my questions and took the time to explain everything to me before and after the procedure, as well as continually checking up on me during the procedure and asking if I needed anything or needed to take a break.

After a little period of time for the numbing to wear off my mouth felt good as new! Not a single pain or ache from the procedure!

Aside from his wonderful work, what really stuck out as a patient is Dr. Rizzo's personal follow up to me later that night after the procedure to check how I was feeling, and then again the following morning!

I cannot recommend this office enough for anyone who is looking for a new or local dentist. Dr. Rizzo and his staff are truly one of a kind and their professionalism is second to none!
