I have three kids under 5 and I cannot explain how easy and pleasing Dr. Surillo’s office has made our visits. From the staff, to the facility, to the professionalism. They are so gentle and patient with children, and know exactly how to keep them entertained and excited. L My girls and I both look forward to our visits 🙂

Dr. Surillo and his team go above and beyond for their patients. From the front office to the dental chair it’s a full experience. I truly feel that each staff member cares and has made an effort to make my daughter and I feel comfortable and welcomed. My daughter has some sensory issues and gets very overwhelmed and each person that works with her has been patient, kind, informative, understanding, caring, reassuring and supportive.

Dr. Surillo and his team came highly recommended from my holistic dentist. I have 4 boys and needed a pediatric dentist to help us out with a gentle and loving approach to some serious concerns. The first thing that won my boys over was the gaming setup that they have in the lobby. Something so simple really adds so much value to my kids experience. The entire place is clean, beautiful and really creates a zen experience.

I’ve been going to Dr Surillo since I was a small, screaming child. His team has been nothing short of exceptional and accommodating to me. I currently live in NY now and make the time to stop here on every trip. I’d give more stars if I could.

Being a first time mom I was very nervous about my daughter seeing a dentist. I wanted to make sure she went to the right one, and I definitely made the right choice seeing Dr. Surillo and his team. They are amazing! As soon as we walked in, the front desk lady greeted us and made me and my family feel so welcomed, We also met Molly, she was so sweet, and amazing. She was so patient with my 1 year old and made sure my daughter was okay.

We came to Dr. Surillo based on great reviews from a trusted friend whose 2 children has braces. We love that they do both regular dental appointments as well as orthodontic appts. We switched to a PPO for dental insurance. The staff are amazing every time, and our kids don't dread the dentist. They work with us With payment plans and have a good reminder system with texts and calls. And the new location is clean and gorgeous!!
