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.

Love this office!
What more can I say? I was referred to Dr. Zavarella by my dentist for two implants. He did an amazing job with no issues. Always enjoyed our chit-chats during my visits. Highly recommend to anyone needing work completed.

Dr Z. was Great! I fell and broke Two of my front teeth, it was very traumatic for me and I was a mess when I went to his office. He was very calming and was able to put implants in on his day off so could start the process. Since then they have had the teeth put on and look better then the real teeth! He also wears a bow tie and was very caring and funny. Would Highly recommend.

Doesn't explain anything
While nice enough, Dr. Zavarella is always in a hurry and he never bothers to explain anything he's doing or even give you enough information to make an informed decision about your own medical care. You will be in the dark the entire time and everything will be a surprise. You won't know the healing time, the number of steps, or anything else related to your care at any point in the process

What has Changed?
I had my first implant 10 years ago and was very satisfied with it. I have since broken 3 other teeth and decided to have them replaced with implants. At my request, he did all 3 at the same time and the procedure was quite a bit painful. Within 2 weeks one of the implants came totally out and the cap came off of another one. I had to wait for the implant site to heal before getting it reset and now my implants are off schedule by 2 months. He made me come back in for another visit to replace the other cap that came off. Another painful visit. He swabs the area with a numbing agent, but doesn't wait for it to take affect and immediately sticks the needle in to numb the site and I can feel all of the needle. He then begins working right away before the numbing agent has a chance to take affect. When I complain about the pain he just gives me another couple of shots. Now, one of the caps that he replaced has come out and that means another trip to him. I can't recommend him.

Dr. Zavarella was wonderful. His staff keeps the office free of CoVid risks. He and Dr. Stephen Malik, my dentist, completed an implant & crown for me yesterday. I'm thrilled with the results. Dr. Z is friendly, explained procedures thoroughly, so that I knew what to expect.

I have been with Dr. Zavarella for years. Very friendly environment, but the main thing for me is how knowledgeable and honest and ethical is Dr. Zavarella. I was diagnosed by another dentist to have an implant immediately, she was not so sure, so she referred me to Dr. Zavarella. He review my ex-rays, mouth, and did an extensive observation. He informed me that the teeth's root was still strong, but that eventually I will need the implant. I did not have to spend money right away.

They completed an oral biopsy, and sent my biopsy to an out of network lab. They charged me out of pocket up front, and refused to bill my medical insurance bc they quote "Don't do medical billing or know the codes." I also owe $265 for a lab bill bc they also don't know how to send specimens to in-network labs. Anna the front desk worker will blame you repeatedly for everything, when in fact their office needs to learn medical billing and customer service. Horrible experience. DO NOT recommend
