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.

Wonderful Practice

Dr. Pronto was amazing. He was able to repair my 2 broken teeth on my denture right in the office. He was very personable and a perfectionist. The office staff in general were wonderful.

Dr. Proto is an unparalleled dental professional.
Staff is wonderful, knows you're name, greets you on arrival. Appointments are timely. Dr. Proto is a super-experienced dentist with a flawless record of getting it perfect the first time. I retired to another state but still go back to Babylon for all dental procedures..

No need to stress out when going to the dentist.
I had a number of problems which were dealt with in one visit that included a completely pain free extraction. I only wish I had found this office sooner.

This was my first visit to Proto Dental. My previous dentists had retired and this practice was recommended by them. It was a wonderful experience. The office is very professional and everyone who works there is friendly, welcoming, kind and caring. I would finitely recommend them to anyone looking for a dental practice.

Excellent Care
Our Dentists retired and recommended Dr Proto and it was a great one! I ended up with an emergency abscess which Dr Proto , diagnosed and treated right away with a root canal. I am now pain free and will return to finish in 2 weeks. He was professional and caring and explained the entire procedure. I have found our new family dentist!

Andrew Proto
My sons had their first visit with Andrew Proto yesterday. My boys are 12 and 7 years old. Andrew was patient, friendly, kind and professional. He explained everything he was doing and made my boys very comfortable. They were upset to leave our previous practice because their dentist retired, but left very happy with their new dentist! Andrew’s assistant was wonderful also, as was the whole staff.

Excellent Experience
My dentist retired, so I tried Dr.Proto. Very good experience, no waiting in the lobby, hygienist was efficient, caring, and thorough. Dr.Proto took care to review my chart, examination was complete, and actually have a conversation with this patient.

I have been a patient since Dr. Proto started his practice. His work is excellent and enduring. I am a nervous patient and have had various procedures during the years, but I am always happy to be there. The staff is very helpful and always pleasant. I highly recommend them.

Best Dentist ever
I think I have been coming to this office for over 35 years and after your visit you will know why. It is so clean and everyone goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, not to mention the skill of Dr Proto. He never tries to make you have any procedures that you do not need and always has a way to solve what you do need. He is the best of the best.

I have been going to Dr. Proto for over 30 years and for good reason. He treats you with the utmost care. Dr. Proto is very thorough and highly skilled in every aspect of dentistry, from fillings, root canals, and implants, all done with state of the art technology. His staff is trained to go above and beyond in the care and needs of each patient, and they always make you feel welcomed and attended to. His office space is always well maintained and their scheduling leaves you very little wait time. I highly recommend Dr. Proto and staff for all your dental needs.

Everyone at Proto Dental is professional, caring, careful, concerned with all aspects of their patients’ well-being, and pleasant to be around. Dr. Proto himself has the ‘magic touch’ of a superb dentist, who can fix whatever you need and not let it hurt. When you need a creative solution to a dental issue, he always comes up with a plan. This is an excellent dental practice.

First visit there and I was quite anxious…I didn’t have to be….the staff is so professional and personable. Dr Proto and his staff erased all my stress. A 5-star rating isn’t good enough,they get a 10 star from me
