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.

I was very pleased with my visit. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Dr. Amato is very professional. My experience was very good!

Great with Kids!
Entire staff is super friendly from the minute you open the door. My child had a horrible previous experience and Dr. Amato and his staff have been exceptional with her. He gives options!

I have been a patient of Dr. Amato for several years. He was able to work me in when I needed emergency attention when others could not. His work is always thorough, professional and caring. His staff are very professional, caring and well trained. They always take time to explain one's dental health issues and educate patients about using correct dental hygiene techniques to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

The experience of losing a tooth was very traumatic but Dr Amato and his staff were very reassuring about the extraction. They were very concerned about my comfort and kept me completely informed about each step in the process. They also did a great job of educating me on my post-op care. I’m glad I could get my problem taken care of so quickly.

I have been more than satisfied with my experiences with Amato dentistry for all of my appointments including routine appointments as well as those “emergency” appointments and advice. This includes helpful guidance even when I was out of town dealing with an emergency. The entire staff as well as Dr Amato himself are so pleasant and responsive. One need never fear pain or discomfort. I would recommend this practice.

I can’t express enough how wonderful Dr. Amato and his staff are to make sure their patients have a good experience. I am very anxious going to the dentist. Dr. Amato was very thorough and made sure there was no discomfort during the procedure. I would highly recommend.

I work in the dental industry and cover about 150 offices across Western NC and Tri-Cities, TN and Dr. Amato was the clear choice for my personal dentist. His attention to detail, professional yet personable nature, investments in the latest technology, and office staff are absolutely top of the line. I cannot recommend Dr. Amato’s office enough for any and all dental needs - from regular check-ups to restorative work, orthodontics, and everywhere in between.

I had to get some dental work done and get a wisdom tooth extracted. The staff are friendly and very helpful. After the numbing he extracted the wisdom tooth without any pain ! I didn’t know he was finished. Very courteous and professional.
