Carpio Lillian C, DDS, MS

I’ve moved around a bunch and had several dentists over the years. Most of them were decent to good and I’ve mostly had no complaints. Becoming a patient of Dr. Carpio’s raised my bar impossibly and I am afraid I am now spoiled for life.
Dr. Carpio did an implant for me this year, to replace a molar that is been long missing. No implant is a simple task, but my case was particularly challenging. I needed a bone graft first and then a gum graft because having lost the tooth so long ago had left me with none that could support the implant. Dr. Carpio was not only super skilled and knew how to deal with every complication my case presented, she was also incredibly caring. She explained to me everything, did a great job at minimizing pain after procedures, and managed to put me at ease at the hardest times. I never waited at her office ever and yet she spent a considerable amount of time with me at every visit. The implant turned out to be impeccable and now I have a full mouth of teeth again. Dr. Carpio also referred me to a wonderful general dentist, when my previous one did not step up to the task and I was left in a pickle.
Dr. Carpio’s office staff also follows the example she sets in excellence and kindness. Everybody from receptionists to hygienists have been wonderful, but especially Aniko — who is I think the best dental assistant I’ve ever seen. She welcomes you with a smile, calls to check on you after visits, helps you out with last minute appointments, and even watches out for your financial interests. Besides all that, she is so cool that you’d actually want to be friends with her.
