Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great practice!
My family has been going to Dr. D. since we moved into the area and she has done great work for all of us. I had an accident where one of my front teeth was shattered, the replacement is indistinguishable from my original tooth. Staff is friendly, it's easy to make an appt. and they are all just roundly great. Great with young kids too! My girls actually look forward to going for a cleaning!

Always a great experience here
I found myself in pain and they were able to get me in on short notice as soon as the office opened. Dr DeGeronimo was gentle, as always. She takes her time and never rushes the appointment, which is almost unheard of these days. I also love how she explains each step for what she’s doing and prepares you for the sensations you might feel. Highly recommend!

Hands down the BEST dentist around!
As someone who has had a long standing fear of the dentist, Dr. DeGeronimo and her staff have consistently been patient with me, shown kindness and compassion, gone above and beyond to make sure that I am comfortable, and worked at my pace while checking in every step of the way. In addition to myself, my husband and my children also see Dr. DeGeronimo. Each appointment has been met with a professional and courteous front desk staff, knowledgeable and thorough hygienists and dentist, and an efficient office manager. There is no one else that I would trust my family's dental care with. Dr. De Geronimo, and her staff, are the BEST.

Dr. DeGeronimo and her staff are professional, courteous, and knowledgable. As someone with a previously longstanding fear of the dentist's office, my visits to Dr. DeGeronimo have altered my perception. Dr. DeGeronimo's gentle manner allayed any concerns I've had about dental work and her staff has put me at ease the moment I entered the office. I've had nothing but positive experiences. If you're looking for a great dentist, then Dr. D's office should be your first stop.

Staff Investment Is a Priority
Staff is either nice but incompetent or impatient and curt. First visit, my profile was entered twice and receptionist didn't know how to fix it I was told they took my insurance. They didn't. I paid with cc and the info was input incorrectly and denied. I used a different card. Then, my husband received a rejection notice of payment because the office billed his insurance which I am not on but already paid bill. Second appt, was met with a tech who spoke to me like I was in prison. I had appts lined up for work and decided to leave because it was abusive. No apologies just met with don't let the door hit you kind of attitude. I don't understand all the positive reviews unless its from locals who are used to this. The office felt like a school bathroom where the bad girls smoke.

Dr. DeGeronimo is excellent. She is gentle, knowledgeable, and not pushy. She won't aggressively diagnose either. Dr. D is so gentle, in fact, that she has filled three small cavities for me without any anesthetic, and I didn't feel a thing! (Not using an anesthetic, by the way, was my choice entirely. I really dislike having a numb mouth. I trusted her to be gentle and she trusted me to not jump.)

Wonderful first experience at Middle Country Family Dentistry this evening! The staff is friendly, helpful and welcoming. Heidi, my hygienist, was thorough and she made sure I was comfortable at all times. Normally my teeth are so sensitive, but she was so gentle I almost fell asleep. Dr DeGeronimo is an excellent and skilled dentist, who took the time to answer all of my questions. She was also amazing with my young children - they asked if they can go back soon!

My first visit to Dr. DeGeronimo's office was 5/17/17 for a New Patient Cleaning appointment with Heidi, one of the office Hygienist. It had been almost 2 yrs. since my last cleaning ..... I was a little nervous, needless to say I made my next 6 month Recall Appt. with Heidi before leaving the office. 5/31/17 I returned to the office for work. This appointment was nothing as expected! Staff A+, Waiting time None, Injection 100 % Painless, Dentist Superior! Need a Dentist? This is the office!

I am a new patient of Dr. DeGeronimo. Everyone in the office is personable,knowledgable and kind. Always a great thing when you walk in a dentists office. They made me feel very relaxed during my visit. Angie the assistant and Dr. DeGeronimo are a great team. My bridge had to be removed and I never felt the injection or the removal. Being afraid of dentists, I'm so looking forward to my next visit. I finally found the right dentist after all these years. Thank you Dr.DeGeronimo and staff!

Dr. DeGeronimo and the staff at Middle Country Family Dentistry are great! They are all very knowledgeable and helpful. Dr. DeGeronimo took the time to explain the pros and cons of having a simple filling done vs a crown vs having an onlay done. She also did cosmetic bonding on my lower front tooth that made my teeth look straighter without having to have braces! Jessica the hygienist was very friendly and thorough. All around great office!

I just wanted to say that she is a horrible dentist! She does horrible cosmetic work and I had to endure a lot of pain and reconstructive work to correct what she did to my front teeth!!! She is also unethical because I suspect that she had her staff, family,and friends write reviews to cover my original review. When I called for my dental records and asked to speak with her she pretended to be her receptionist while I knew it was her and she blocked me from writing about her! AVOID HER!!!
