Nelson V Berardinelli, DMD

My experience being a patient of Dr. Berardinelli, as well as his staff, has been excellent each and every visit.
He performed my first cleaning himself; says he prefers to do first cleanings himself to acquaint himself with the patient and their situation. What a surprise in an era in which time spent with the actual dentist as opposed to the hygienist is usually a fraction of the time.
The first exam and cleaning were done on the same visit, something I expect as a patient to save time and money, but is becoming not so common these days.
The exam was thorough and a plan was devised and discussed. Linda then drew up the financial plans for the planned visits and the totals, outlining what the insurance company would pay and what would be my outlay. They even had a financing plan outlined if needed.
(All this was on the first visit, by the way.)
There were no high-​pressure tactics to sell me on the proposed procedures. I was in and out and scheduled my next appointment.
I then stuck to the plan, getting fillings, crowns, and bonding. I only have whitening left which I look forward to.
All said and done, Dr. Berardinelli knows what he is doing, is excellent at what he does, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
I have been to quite a few dentists over the years just because of moving a lot and mostly for the usual 6 months cleaning and exams. What I can attest to is that there is a lack of standards in the dental industry. I’ve been offered so many different procedures that other dentists didn’t think I needed or the other way around — dentists not mentioning needed services that others did. It is quite frustrating. I feel I’ve finally found one who offered what I truly needed and was someone who was knowledgeable enough to know the gamut of what there could be that I need or don’t need and is able to fulfill those needs without referring me to someone else.
In addition, the entire office — receptionists to the hygienist — are well-​informed and skilled at what they do.
I’ve always been in and out when they say I will be and I love that they offer late hours so I don’t have to take off work to get there.
