    My brother went here for a bridge and deep cleaning this year, and I've been in for a deep cleaning and some fillings so far. We've both been really happy with Dr. Cano and his staff.

    At the initial evaluation, Dr. Cano explained clearly and frankly what was going on in my mouth and what needed to be done to fix it. He was very straightforward and non-judgemental (I hadn't been to a dentist in, errr, a while).

    The deep cleaning, performed by a hygienist, was as pleasant as it's possible for such a thing to be. The areas where anesthesia was to be injected were well-numbed beforehand, and she did the injections slowly enough that there was only a sense of pressure, no real pain.

    The fillings I had done were composite; he filled six small cavities in less than an hour with no anesthetic and very minimal discomfort. He didn't seem rushed at any time and encouraged me to raise my hand if I felt pain or needed a break. He carefully explains what he's doing and why at every step of the way.

    The office staff and assistants are always very warm and friendly, and happy to work with you and answer whatever questions you need to get the most out of your insurance and FSA.

    I just had two fillings done by Dr Cano and am very happy with what he did. When he injecting the  numbing solution he did it very slowly as  to avoid pain.  He kept me informed during the process and I felt very comfortable.
    I went to Dr. Cano for a 2nd opinion. He felt fillings would work fine for the 2 teeth. Dr Cano, using a wand camera showed me a cracked molar the other dentist missed. Dr Canno recommend a crown, but said it wasn't critical to do it immediately.

    I've been seeing Dr. Cano for over 6 years; he and his staff are a pleasure (!) to visit, and I am 100% pleased with the level of service, both in the chair and in the office, that I have received. What else can you ask for from a dentist?

    Today I called at 8am with an emergency.  They were able to fit me in on a cancellation at 9am, and by 930am I had received a filling, and consultation for a future crown.

    Love Dentist Cano and his entire staff.  They explain everything thoroughly.  What my insuarance will and will not cover.  I have had emergency root canal, fillings, tooth extraction, bridge and caps done here over the years.  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.  I am super picky A-type personality and not easily impressed.  I use my insurance and flex spending to pay costs and they make it super easy for me.

    He is a decent dentist, explains things, work is not bad, I got a cleaning, filling & bite adjustment done.
    The hours are iffy, the last appoint is at 4 pm, and the office is open 4 days a week.
    For kids, he recommends parent do not sit in the same area.

    Dr. Cano has a great staff. His office is located in a building of other dentists, so if you strike out here just walk to the next door down the hall and you have got yourself another dentist. pow!

    Anyway, like I said he has a great staff. his hygienists are amazing, friendly and gentle! yay!

    Dr. Cano has worked on me a few times I went home very sore and was sore for about 2 weeks later. That was not good, but I had tooth problems, so what can you do?

    One warning about appointments, they charge you a re $45 fee is you don't show up or cancel within 24 hours. They are serious, so be sure to make time for them or they will charge you.

    I found this place because of a flyer they sent through the mail. It was some kind of special for real cheap.

    Well the place is great, Dr. Cano is a very nice person, he is always checking to see if you are ok and if you say that something is uncomfortable he really does do his best to help you out. I remember when I went there for my crown Dr. Cano did he best to make sure the crown would match the color of my other teeth. He gave me 5 choices and  after taking my opinion and the that of his staff we found one that matched perfectly.  

    The front counter staff is extremely nice and I like that they call you to remind you about your appt not the day before but actually a couple day in advance so if you have to cancel you have ample time to do so.

    So if you are looking for a good dentist and a friendly and good support staff then go here.

    We have had a great experience with Dr. Cano and his staff. Our children actually look forward to seeing the dentist (though I think the stickers and toys may have something to do with it.)
    He'll tell you about every last little bit of dental work that could be done. However, he doesn't push you to do anything.  He does a great job of explaining the consequences of undergoing or skipping different treatment options, and helps you to plan to do just what needs to be done.  The hygienists and staff are also great, and they painlessly work with dental insurance.

    I've gone to his office 5 times now over the past few years. The office staff is terrific. The office itself is clean and comfortable. I've only had Dr. Cano himself work on me once, but he was very considerate. I felt relaxed and confident with him and with the other people he has working with him.

    UPDATE: I've been going to him for another 3 years now, and love the place. Highly recommended!

    Wow, i was very impressed with the quality of the workmanship and the hospitable staff.  My last several dentists put me through so much pain and took thousands from my pocket.  If only i could have found  Dr. Cano sooner i would have sparred myself from so much agony.  I highly recommend!

    Dr. Cano is a great dentist.  I have been going to Dr. Cano for 7+ years and never had a bad experience.  He is very considerate and very personable with great bed side manner.  His staff is very professional and helpful as well.  I highly recommend Dr. Cano without a doubt.

    Hands down the best dentist I have ever had.  Friendly, gentle, professional, and he takes a very personal interest in your well being.  He gets to know each of his patients and remembers your likes and dislikes and even asks about your kids and job.

    Plus, I hate needles, and he has the best technique I have ever experienced!

    I have heavy molars, a thick jaw and tenacious teeth, so believe me I know how painful dental work can be.   After years of dental neglect because of my issues, Dr. Cano got my teeth all fixed up, managed a steady correction program that worked nicely with my insurance, and now has my teeth on a maintenance program that is easy, pain free and quick.  It was the best dental work i have ever received, hands down.

    Over Christmas I had an abscess that was absolutely excruciating.  Dr. Cano took time away from his family to stop the pain, and then followed up with calls to make sure i was doing ok.  Absolutely the best.

    His staff is wonderful and his office clean and nice.  I can't recommend him enough.

    I have been going to Dr. Cano since he took over Dr. Kowitz practice and the service has been excellent.  Terrific office staff, very good hygienists and Dr. Cano himself is wonderful.  I am extremely satisfied with all the services I have received at this office.

    This is a very good dentist office and I have been to quite a few in my day. I have been going to him for about 4 years and highly recommend. He is very competent, extremely friendly, good listener and knows how to make sure you dont feel pain when he is doing his work. Lenore at the front desk and Andrew the hygienist are also great. Very nice facility. Nothing but good things to say here.

    I have been seeing Dr Cano since he took over for Dr Kowitz about 7-8 years ago. He is a wonderful dentist and a great person. I have had filings, crowns and cosmetic work done by Dr Cano, and even some necessary work during pregnancy. He has always been professional, gentle, expedient, sensitive and caring and took special care of my dental needs during my pregnancy.  I enjoy seeing him and his entire staff each time I go.  He and his team communicate well and do everything possible to accommodate their patients needs. I can recommend him enthusiastically!

    We are new in town and am always a bit nervous about trying out new doctors and dentists.  Dr. Cano's staff was able to get me in for a check-up and cleaning within a week or so (but my schedule is very flexible).  Everyone was very professional and careful - no pain whatsoever and very pleasant.  I had a cracked tooth and was given the option of waiting until it broke or doing a crown now - I opted for preventative measures and am very pleased with the results.  Dr. Cano was extremely good - NO discomfort - NO problems - everything went very smoothly.  I strongly recommend him and his staff.
