Dr. Roccia and his assistant Erica were exceptional. They helped to put my daughter at ease, were quick and efficient, and the wisdom teeth surgery went perfectly. The follow up was prompt and thorough. Dr. Roccia also performed my implant in the past and that went perfectly as well. Highly recommend!

Dr. Roccia and his assistant were absolutely amazing. They answered every question i had and made sure i was comfortable which i really appreciate. i was amazed at how quick i was in and out for a tooth extraction so that was a pleasant surprise.

Dr. Roccia is THE BEST!! I’ve had two implants done by him. He ensures you’re comfortable, calls to check up on you and the entire staff is professional and proficient. For someone who despises dentist trips, NPOS is the best place to go for your oral needs.

Dr. Roccia was delightful! He was kind, patient and genuinely caring, which I was grateful for since I came in a bit nervous. His assistant was also very helpful and very pleasant. Additionally, he also did a great job on my tooth extraction and bone graft. I’m so glad that I’m walking through this process of an implant with this practice. A big thumbs up!

Friendly, Clean, Organized, Timely. Dr. Roccia explained the procedure, nice bed side manner, and a personal call to check up later in the day. The technician was INCREDIBLE! (and even offered her hand to hold) 10/10.
