"My son has gone to him for 10-12 years since he was a toddler. And for years it’s been great. The last couple of years things changed. They would say things that ins was not paying for but yet the ins company said opposite. But what has me so upset is that yes my son has had cavities but they get very nasty and say things that are not true by the way he eats..no matter what I say they don’t listen. I asked if this was genetic and he said no. Last year when we went (we would come when visiting from our home state) he said ok brush better and you have a cavity so I said ok we are going back home and I will find a dentist there because since this office is closed most of the week we would not be here to fill this cavity. So I found a dentist here at home and could not believe my ears. They mentioned all these issues so I went for a second and third opinion and all said the same. This did not happen in a month, 6 or a year even. They were all in shock that the previous dentist did not say a word. I was too. My son has a lot a head of him and this will cost me over $10,000 above insurance. I am still in shock and so very upset over this. I called them weeks ago, sent over everything as requested and have not hear back. I called a few times but have not received a call yet. Reading so many other comments that are similar."

"He told me 'There is nothing wrong with your teeth, they're good'. Between 1 and 3 years they're mostly all gone. I wasn't going to spend money going and getting xrays, etc to be told my teeth are fine. Oh and he's rude! He yelled at me for reasons I don't know."

"I have always been so afraid of the dentist but Dr. Motola and his staff have been so wonderful. I expressed concern and nervousness at my cleaning and the assistant was so nice. She showed me everything she’d be using and told me what she was going to do before she did it. When I went for my cavity filling I was just as nervous and expressed this to Dr. Motola as well. He was beyond caring and so incredibly nice during the whole appointment, he really eased my anxiety. Very friendly as well. I will always be a little nervous but I know that I’m in good hands. I highly recommend the office. Front desk is very nice too and it’s easy to make appointments."

"Dr matolia is an amazing dentist. The whole staff was so nice and professional. The doctor is amazingly talented and did such a good job on my teeth. He also always keeps your pain in mind. I was not in any pain the entire procedure I would recommend this dentist 100% to anybody. I’ve always had a hard time finding a good dentist his work and bedside manner is amazing."

"I have been petrified to go to the dentist. I finally went and Dr. Matola and his staff welcomed me with open arms. I needed a decent amount of work done and Dr. Matola made sure I did not feel an ounce of pain at every step during the process. I can finally smile again with my teeth. He is the real deal and I would highly recommend letting him be your dentist, you will not regret it."
