Anthony J Scoma, DDS

He did a great job with my daughter’s cavity (with a sedative), but his bedside manner was HORRIBLE and condescending. Staff is also horrible and hypersensitive to parents’ expressions of concern. A furrowed brow or ONE simple question from a parent one the day of the procedure will turn the office upside down. They need to realize that asking questions is very normal. Will not return. Very very happy with my new dentist!

Came in today for a checkup for my 8 year old daughter and 5 year old son. My son was a bit nervous coming to the dentist, the staff was not patient and the rates with PP0 insurance are extremely through the roof. Dr. Scoma said it was mandatory for laughing gas to fix cavities for kids. What a joke! You must be too rough if you need to put them under. Find another dentist, don’t waste your time… Not a kid friendly place.

I brought my sons to this dentist a few years ago. I stopped going because my youngest, 5 at the time went home crying because he was in pain while the Dr. Scoma continued to give him gas. Please, do not bring your children to him. He IS NOT in your childs best interest…

We have gone here for a few years now with 2 children. They have always been amazing with my kids. There was one time, when my son was younger, that he was scared and didn’t want to cooperate. They were super nice and suggested we just re-​schedule (without billing us for taking up that time). My son had to have 2 baby teeth pulled to make room for his permanent teeth, and it was very fast. With the dentist and staff as kind as they were, he wasn’t scared at all. We went to a different dentist before this one, and Scoma, to me, is heads above any one else (and I am very picky on doctors and dentists and protective of my children). Also, the hygienists are very patient with any questions I have, and they have always been on time. Now, my son actually asks when he gets to go to the dentist (there is a little toy machine that they get one afterwards, which is his incentive :).

Staff is nice, but Dr. Scoma is not very gentle and also not very accommodating to little ones feeling pain! When my 6 year old went in for a couple of treatments (one filling and one extraction), all he kept repeating at her winces of pain was «just keep smelling the bubble gum!» with a tone that seemed on the edge of annoyance… Furthermore, he recommended an extraction and the placement of a space maintainer, which has been quite a nightmare for my daughter. Not only does the spacer keep hurting and swelling up my daughter’s gums (I don’t think it’s the correct size for her!), but also, they failed to tell me that the spacer is only aluminum in color (this after, I paid the extra charge to get ceramic fillings done!). Overall, it seems this office is more interested in selling you a bunch of stuff you may not actually need, and did not attempt to explain in detail all the options AND consequences of the services they rush to do (such as space maintainers!). Now I’m looking for a better dentist…

We love Dr. Scoma. I am so picky with my family’s physicians/​dentists, and he is great.
My son had x-​rays taken, a cleaning, the whole 9, and they were quick and precise, didnt waste any time.
When my son was finished, he jumped out of the chair and yelled «I did it Mommy! I did it!»
I love going to his office. I trust him and so does my son.

My younger son has now had fillings done with Dr. Scoma and the visit was a breeze (for a 4 year-​old). I’ve tried other dentists but I am now a big fan of Dr. Scoma and his office. I believe I’ve been in for 4 total visits with my two sons.

Dr. Scoma and his staff are wonderful, patient, and caring.
After a terrible dental experience with a former dentist, my 7 year old daughter is finally beginning to lose the overwhelming terror that used to precede dental checkups. They know their stuff, accommodate our every wish, and above all really care about our children.
This is a wonderful practice — cannot say enough good things about them!

Our children love going to the dentist! We have a 5 and 2 year old and they have always had positive experiences with Dr Scoma and his awesome staff. We love the games in the waiting room, the TVs on the ceiling, the cool sunglasses, and of course the prize at the end of the visit.
But of course it really comes down to Dr Scoma who is great with all the kids we’ve seen him with, including ours, and the awesome staff that works with him. They are very kid friendly, engaging, and patient.
What is even better is that several other families we know with older children also drive some distance to see Dr Scoma. He will definately get our seal of approval!
