Excellent---Once again Dr.Carrara comes through in an emergency!

I have been a patient for more than 10 years and throughout that time have always been treated well. I am fully confident that Dr. Carrara has all skills needed to provide state of the art and advanced dental care. I am especially appreciative of his bedside manner and believe his interactions with his staff are equally impressive. While I never want to visit this office, when I do, I always believe I am in good hands!

Outstanding! Dr. Carrara is the best dentist I' ve ever had!

Dr. Carrara is unfailingly punctual in keeping appointment times, rapid, up-to-date in the latest methods of dental care, with a user-friendly office (pain is never felt) and staff (friendly, welcoming, efficient). He has already been listed in Gude to America's Top Dentists as one of the best, and deserves the rating.

Best Dentist I Have Ever Had

I have had wonderful experiences with Dr. Carrara. I had some poor dental work in the past, including a root canal that wasn't done properly, and bothered me all the time. Dr. Carrara quickly fixed the tooth and cleared up the infection. The whole experience was painless and pleasant. I don't even notice the tooth today and it looks great too. I look forward to continuing to see Dr. Carrara for all my dental needs.
