Dr. Bacino is the BEST! Just like his dad, who was my dentist when I was a child. Dr. Bacino and his staff are amazing. The girls in the office have been with the Bacino family practice for many, many years, and they love working there. You can tell by the smiles on their faces. Dr. Bacino is funny, friendly, kind, and very welcoming. He is meticulous in his work, and he is careful to use methods that save your teeth rather than doing more invasive procedures that you might not need. And… he knows how to give a shot so it doesn’t hurt a bit! His dad had that same technique and it works. When you need to have something done, he gives you options and explains the pros and cons of each. He encourages you to make the best choice for you; he never tries to «sell» you on something or push you toward a more expensive choice. When I have needed procedures that might cause some discomfort, he always calls to check on me later that day, or the next day, to make sure I’m doing okay. He truly cares about his patients. He spends a good amount of time with his patients, and you never feel like he’s in a rush. My 10 year old son has been seeing Dr. Bacino and Carol, our hygienist, since he was 3. My son enjoys his visits there, and he’s not one bit afraid of going. Dr. Bacino is GREAT with kids, and is genuinely interested in whatever sports or other activities they are involved in. He chats with them, laughs with them, and makes them feel comfortable. Dr. has a daughter and a son, so he’s up on what’s «hip» and«happening» in the world of kids. I have recommended Dr. Bacino to family and friends. He’s a wonderful dentist; they just don’t come any better.

My family has been going to the Bacino office since the early 1970’s. When my insurance changed I had to go to another dentist for a brief stint. I returned as a patient about a year ago after this other dentist botched a cleaning and a Periodontist ironically recommended going to Dr. Bacino who was able to bring my smile quickly back into good order. I highly recommend Dr. Bacino because he has personality but is also the consumate professional. He is always able to explain to me exactly what he is doing, why, and all the options. This is exactly what I need from a healthcare professional, and exactly the skill most of them seem to lack! The office staff is also great! Carol, the hygienist used to actually come to my Kindergarten class to teach us how to brush our teeth!
