State of the Art Smiles

Horrible staff. Very rude. Hung up on me twice after I asked to speak to the dentist that day!

Dr Addiego and her staff are skilled extremely professional, and very compassionate. They are also very honest, never recommending any procedure unless it is absolutely necessary.
I travel over an hour to use their services because I think it is worth my time. Dr. Addiego is very gentle when doing her work. Linda, the hygienist, is equally as gentle and skilled.
This about the best dental care a patient can experience.
Highly recommended

Let me begin this review by saying that I trust Dr. Addiego, DMD with my teeth, my wife’s teeth, and my daughter’s teeth. Trusting her with my daughter’s teeth is very telling but not sufficient for Unilocalers. Unilocal readers always like stories so allow me to paint a picture of how wonderful State of the Art Smiles is.
Dr. Addiego is an artist. It is not enough to say that she is a technical wizard with her patients. She is so good at what she does that I am afraid to go to the Museum of Art in Philadelphia. They catch a glimpse of some of the work that she has done on my teeth and they want to add them to the modern art collection. I am proud of the work that she has done for me and deeply appreciative but not quite enough to donate it to the museum and face a lifetime of soft food.
Dr. Addiego is unbelievably patient. She takes her time and never rushes her patients. She takes the time to be thoughtful and artistic with her work. My only complaint is that sometimes the 14^th Dalai Lama calls her for council when he is feeling frustrated. She often uses her speaker phone when she talks with him because she does not want to interfere with her patient’s treatment. Its not so bad until they start calling each other by their pet names for each other. Dr. T this and DL that… I guess that everybody needs somebody when they are having a difficult day. I just wish the Dalai Lama would find someone closer to home and quit interrupting Dr. Adding when she has me in her chair.
Dr. Addiego is compassionate. She never mocks me when I cry like a baby as she is injecting pain medication. She almost never mocks me when they have to pry me out of the waiting room chair and drag me into a treatment room. Some dentists would loose some compassion but not Dr. A.
It may seem like the practice is all about the rock star known as Dr. Addiego But you would be mistaken. She has great hygenists and front of the house staff. The hygienists are thorough and skilled at finding and removing every molecule of plaque. Heck, they don’t seem to mind my whimpering– what is it with her staff? I can call with an issue and the front of the house gurus always find a way to work me into the schedule. Billing and payments are a breeze. My only complaint is that they use this auto text system that reminds me of appointments and call if I do not reply to the text. I hate it that I can’t use the «I forgot my appointment» excuse any more. Darn their professionalism!
One final word, if Dr. Addiego’s practice explodes with new clients and I have difficulty getting appointments, or if she develops carpal tunnel syndrome from signing autographs as a result of this Unilocal post, I will take it all back. She is my dentist and you are just going to have to share!

As an active Unilocal member and person who has needed much dental work due to a childhood accident, I have found it really hard to find good dentists. In general, it you do not have issues, meaning that you only need you teeth cleaned, then maybe you will like this place. I personally did not like this place and spent thousands of dollars here. I would not recommended if you do not have dental insurance, and even if you do, like me, you may end up having to pay part of the cost. An emergency visit after an issue I had from their work cost me about $ 85 dollars — I was outraged. You are treated very nicely and the doctor seems super nice, but when you are not happy with the work, you can tell they are upset and they change their attitude towards you. I think that we you are paying thousands of dollars to get work done, it should be great work, not mediocre work that you are unhappy about. You are also always told to say if something «is not comfortable», but when you do, it is as if they cannot believe you would dare criticize their work.
Anyways, like I said, if you have insurance, don’t care to have the insurance pay ridiculous amounts, or you have cash to spare and you ONLY need to get your teeth cleaned, then go here; otherwise, do more research and find a better place.
