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.

Highly recommended!
Dr Tartagni and his staff are AWESOME. My wait time was short. All I waited was 5 mins. Dr Tartagni is sweet, professional, took his time answering all my concerns, explaining everything in details. I felt very comfortable & did not feel like just another patient like most dentists do. I was impressed how he has extensive experience & treats ALL areas in dentistry. I highly recommend you choosing him as your dentist! Thank you Dr Tartagni, Valerie & Courtney! ~Mitzi

Dr. Tartagni and team.
Dr. Tartagni and his team are amazing!! I remember walking in for my first appointment so nervous and practicly crying. I have always been scared of going to the dentist. But Dr. T has been so gentile and reassuring that now I look forward to seeing him. I call it ..date with my dentist..! I walk out everytime with a smile and very happy! His staff are so professional, pleasant, friendly, and are on top of it all. I wouldn't trade my dentist and his team for anything. I just absolutely love the care I receive from them all!!

I have been going to shoreline dental care for years. The service is always great. The reason I wanted to make sure I write a review was because of the staff. They go above and beyond and make sure that you are comfortable with everything. I can't say enough good things about them.
