I left satisfied and encouraged. Thank you ❣️

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend blue Jay family dentistry. A very warm and comfortable atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: My hygienist was great! I’m always a bit fearful and she was amazing.
Fantastic experience: Great people at Blue Jay! Dr Bailey has been phenomenal in the care of replacing 2 crowns so far, one to go. Dr Bailey and the techs have been as gentle as possible. I recommend Blue Jay Dentistry!!
Fantastic experience: All the people at BlueJay are great they answered all my questions and for the first time in years they told me what the cost was going to be and that was what they charged. I would send anyone to them. Also my dentures are great
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff!
Thanks Kirt!
Fantastic experience: These guys are AMAZING! My entire family goes here for routine cleanings and I can’t say enough good things about them!
Fantastic experience: My visit was great as all of them have been. Very professional, experienced, and friendly. I just had a.new crown done today replacing an old filling that had developed a cavity beneath it. The whole experience was smooth and efficient. Dr. Fidone has done a great.job.
Thank you Kathleen!
Fantastic experience: Staff is great to work with i cant say enough.this office is a joy to be around .
Positive experience: Thought I was coming for a yearly cleaning, didn't happen. Got information about a multitude of things supposed to be done , thousands of dollars above my insurance coverage. Going for a second opinion elsewhere, since the cost was so incredibly unforseen. Staff was very nice.
Fantastic experience: Had been going to another dentist in town and was getting more and more dissatisfied. It was a hassle to get in, and when I could, they looked at me for five minutes and referred me out instead of helping. Then, the day before my daughter graduated from college, I lost a front filling. My then-dentist rather coldly informed me that their dentists were both booked for about a week and they couldn’t help me. Blue Jay Dental fit me in that afternoon, and were able to fit my permanent crown the next morning. In talking to them, it turns out they could do everything I needed done in-house, including a surgical extraction. Sarah was awesome, and Dr Fidone was kind, caring, and wonderful at his job. I have such high dental anxiety, and I found myself actually laughing during my appointment. 15/10, highly recommend. I found my new dentist!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bailey was amazing, and worked me into her schedule. I was a new patient and had a toothache. She extracted my tooth, and got me out of pain! The assistant to the front desk was amazing to work with!
Fantastic experience: Everyone was super friendly and explained everything. Glad I made the change to your office!
Fantastic experience: I have been in constant pain for the last month due to my teeth slowly rotting away from chemotherapy. Doctors have passed me around saying they couldn’t help and to try someone else, BlueJay is the first ones to say they can help me and get me taken care of! It truly means a lot when I already have so much going on! Thank you guys and you deserve 6/5 stars
Fantastic experience: Great care, prompt attention on arrival and very kind and professional staff! We would not entrust our dental care to anyone else!
Fantastic experience: Everybody was very friendly and professional. I will be back.
Fantastic experience: Great place
Fantastic experience: They did great! Very friendly and caring staff I'm so glad i chose them.
Negative experience: Went here before they changed over to blue jay, the work they do is exceptional. As for the front desk lady Penny, she’s not very kind and will make smirky comments when trying to cancel an appointment. If something more important came up I don’t really think that’s her place to dictate and for that two stars.
Fantastic experience: Everyone at Blue Jay Dental is helpful, professional and very nice. They make you feel welcomed and comfortable. Very good at explaining the process.
Fantastic experience: Woman at the front desk was so friendly! She checked me right in and just had a very happy aura around her! The doctor and staff were also very informative and got me in and out in a timely manner. Highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: The people are so nice, the dental assistant was awesome, and Dr Fidone ( sp ) I’m impressed with his passion for his job. Answered my questions and was professional ♂️❤️
Fantastic experience: Dr. Fidone and his staff at Bluejay are the best!
Negative experience: Front desk lady is very rude and doesn’t do her job at all. Wants to get upset for missing an appointment but can’t read her emails, even called her out for it. 3 office staff up there doing squat . Wouldn’t recommend this office , esp if you’re waiting for your dental records. Front desk lady will make it her mission to make sure you don’t get them
Fantastic experience: I look forward to my appointment every 6 months! Easy to schedule, pleasant staff, and Dr. Fidone and the hygienist team are thorough and non-judgemental (which is a relief especially when I first started visiting 4 years ago). The hydrolic chairs are extra comfy and scenic windows in the service area are also great.
Fantastic experience: Great place to go. Super friendly! Highly recommend if you are looking for a great dental office.
Fantastic experience: Every one is always so friendly and thorough. Feel very sure of their results
Fantastic experience: Very courteous! Explained everything including what I’m responsible for after insurance. Fast and efficient. Made going to the dentist a pleasant experience
Thank you Barry!
Fantastic experience: The clinic is clean,before and after the staff is caring. You're not just a check. Now I was so scared but his team talk to me comfort me even took care of my daughter KRySTALL while she on in the waiting room. She was cold and they gave her a heater. Day 1 you're in pain of course you got your teeth pulled out..lol gave great post op care. You have to take your pain killer, then you can take little naps.honestly on my way home I was thinking why did I do this. Then I got to thinking about my children grandbabies and soon great grandbaby. I won't have rotten teeth take me out of here and Doctor and the staff at BlueJay Family Dental save my Life. Ms. Rubie Carroll
Thank you Rubie!
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. They show that they care and their patients are important. Easy check in with very little wait time, if any. Highly recommend this practice!
Thank you for the kind words Rebecca!
Fantastic experience: My experience was fine with the exception of a sore jaw. LOL! At 2 AM I took Advil and survived just fine.
Fantastic experience: Everyone from start to finish is so wonderful and polite here! They take very good are of you and listen to your concerns. So glad I found them and highly recommend them!
Fantastic experience: Very professional, courteous, and skilled staff. I especially want to praise the assistant that cleaned my teeth at today’s appointment. She was very skilled and thorough. May be my best experience at a Dentist Office in getting my teeth cleaned.
Fantastic experience: The whole Blue Jay Dental team was awesome all the, from the front desk all the way to the back end. they did great work
Fantastic experience: I had a dental emergency and they got me in the next day and were reasonably priced and didn’t try to take advantage of the situation at all. The staff were all wonderful! I have continued going here and it has continued to be a good choice. Glad I found them!
Fantastic experience: Everyone is so nice. Get us in on time. And they do a great job
Fantastic experience: Excellent care and painless and good over 2 1/2 hour procedure
Fantastic experience: I no longer dread going to the dentist! I use to hate everything about my dentist visits from the cleaning to the xrays and now I find all the experiences bearable. X-rays still aren’t my favorite but the staff does their best to make them bearable. Even fillings are not as painful as I remember from the past!
Fantastic experience: Dental asst Mattie and Dr Fidone both professional, wait time reasonable. I appreciated Dr explaining options for treatment and using a model to show how each option would work, along with cost of each
Negative experience: After reading other reviews I’m surprised to have to post this. My daughter recently contacted me informing me she was just told she has 9 cavities, needs a crown, and has weak enamel after attending this office for a chipped tooth she has. I immediately questioned this as she hasn’t had a cavity in a couple years. I made her an appointment with my dentist for a second opinion and had her drive home from college. As I expected she has 3 cavities and the tooth that needs a crown will most likely at some point but as of now a $100 fix is all that’s necessary. It may hold out for 20 years but a crown is not needed at this time. There is no issues with her enamel. I feel it’s fair to say their treatment plans are extremely aggressive.
Fantastic experience: Friendly and professional, would recommend to anyone.
Positive experience: Overall great experience. Hygienist was through and friendly. She was prepared for my appointment and treated me with respect.
Fantastic experience: I had my remaining top and bottom teeth extracted yesterday. I have to say from start to finish it all was a positive experience. Dr Fidone did an amazing job and even took care of an issue I was having. I would recommend Blue Jay Family Dental to anyone. The staff there are all wonderful too.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful service very professional and friendly employees The office is immaculate and a state of the art professional office.
Thank you Julie!
Fantastic experience: Amazing doctor and Amazing assistants.
Fantastic experience: Quick and painless. Love the option of easy morning so I don’t need to schedule time off from work!
Negative experience: I’ve always believed the front desk sets the tone for any office, and unfortunately, my experience here was very disappointing. After I accidentally missed an appointment, the receptionist called me and was extremely rude and snarky instead of being understanding or professional. I completely acknowledge it was my fault for missing the appointment, but the tone and attitude were unnecessary. I’ve been a patient at this office for many years and have never missed an appointment before. I’ve even come in during a snowstorm when asked to come in at an earlier time so staff could leave work early. Accidents happen, and I apologized for my error today but that wasn’t good enough for the woman on the phone. Normally, I would let something like this go thinking she could possibly just be having a bad day, but this wasn’t my first negative encounter with her. At my last visit, while discussing my insurance with another staff member, I added to the conversation with what I thought was helpful information for them to have and she cut me off in a snarky tone, saying, “Well, I wasn’t talking to you. I was talking to her.” It was dismissive, very unprofessional and completely unnecessary. The dental team itself has always been wonderful, pleasant, and professional. Even the other younger receptionist are very nice. However, the way patients are treated at the front desk matters. Respect and kindness should always come first in healthcare, especially since this is a patient’s very first impression. After today I will no longer be coming to this dental office because I’m not going to put up with the unprofessional and rude behavior from the old front desk Karen who seems to enjoy being rude to people.
Fantastic experience: friendly staff, very competent. Both my husband and I are very pleased.
Fantastic experience: Staff was friendly and professional. I was made comfortable and frequently asked how I felt.
Fantastic experience: BlueJay Dental always provides fast, professional, and personal service!!
Fantastic experience: The staff, from when you walk in the front door, you get a warm smile usually from a shorter lady that checks you in, to the doctor, and the rest of the staff. They go above and beyond to do everything they can to make sure you are taken care of and if possible taken care of the same day you scheduled a 1 hr visit, they care about their customers so much they didn’t stop working on my teeth until they were done. They’re all personable people, and very kind. I live 32 minutes away and I wouldn’t change where I get my dental work done no matter what because they do that great of work. Thank you BlueJay Family Dental!
Fantastic experience: In and out, Brittney got my teeth cleaned and feeling good!! Everyone there is fantastic!!
Fantastic experience: I was very hesitant to get any of the dental work done that was recommended by Dr. Fidone. But I got a crown and cavity done and I was so impressed with the work he did. I have been to multiple dentist over the years and this was probably the best experience as far as comfort during the procedures. Also the receptionist gals were helpful in arranging appointments and such. I was pleased to have such a good experience.
Fantastic experience: Staff is always friendly from the time you walk in the door, through the visit and when you are leaving. Always answer questions. Very professional.
Fantastic experience: Care and help was awesome.. I would highly recommend their office to all.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bailey and her staff were great.
Fantastic experience: I think the people at Blue Jay Dental are very professional and more than that. They’re very friendly Penny at the front desk is just a joy.
Fantastic experience: First encounter as a patient: very pleased & satisfied. Welcoming receptive staff all seemed focused on job. Relaxing music. Ashley explained her treatment modality and made sure I was included throughout. Exam by Dr was not extensive but I did not expect any issue to make it more. Just right. I was in & out at 90 min included brief wait on front end. Have scheduled follow up. Nice job BJFD
Fantastic experience: Best dentist in town! Highly recommended! All of the staff and hygienist are great especially that Jenon lady, She does magnificent work..

Fantastic experience: BlueJay Family Dental: Great dentist, and great staff. They are always welcoming & have been great to my family. My mother worked for a dentist for 20 years so I know the business well & this dentist office made me feel right at home! * update 4/25, My daughter had her wisdom teeth removed. They were able to use a light sedative as requested. The procedure went well, and the staff were amazing, as usual!
Fantastic experience: I have been very impressed with Blue Jay Dentistry. I've been going there for awhile now and they make you so at ease and I really appreciate that cause I'm the biggest chicken there is. You won't regret going yo them.
Thank you for the kind words Jean!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff. My son usually refuses to go to the dentist. But he will go to Blue Jay and gladly makes his follow up appointments. The dentist is very nice and knows his stuff. Our family has had root canals, fillings, and now an implant. The dentist explains things thoroughly and is very kind. The gal that checks you in is absolutely the best. Would highly recommend.
Thank you Veronica!
Fantastic experience: Great service with a professional and friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: Such friendly staff and a very clean and welcoming environment!

Fantastic experience: I love all the staff! Ashley, the dental hygienist was excellent and made my cleaning very comfortable. Dr Fidoni is very thorough and communicative about options and what needs to be done. My experience there was great! We moved here from Kansas City and I am happy to say we have found our new dentist!
Fantastic experience: I went in with a couple missing teeth. I had not smiled big in years. After a couple visits I now have my partials and ohh my Lord my smile is there again. Much appreciation for all you have done for me. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME MY SMILE BACK. 5 plus star's for everything y'all did. Cost, time and results are all good.

Fantastic experience: Got In early and very good experience. Thank You
Negative experience: My appointment was at 7am they didn't start working on me till 7:30am., they were working on me without sedation I told them to stop i was in pain severely.
Fantastic experience: This is a great dental office. Their skills and equipment are up to date. I have been to several different dentists and this is truly the best.
Fantastic experience: Really friendly staff there to help and not judge. I have dental insurance which is great, so it was less expensive because of that. I don’t believe that they have any payment plans, everything is upfront cost, they are good about getting estimates and pricing to you before work is done.
Thank you Laura!
Fantastic experience: Very nice people. Went out of their way to figure out my Insurance. They are also very gentle.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Bluejay Family Dental for a year or so now and I highly recommend them. I've been to other dental offices in the past and Bluejay far exceeds any other experience I've had. Everyone from the hygienists to the doctors to the front office folks are very welcoming and helpful, and my teeth feel excellent when I leave!
Fantastic experience: Everyone was so welcoming and friendly! They got me in right away when I said I had pain and created a plan so I knew exactly what to expect on upcoming appointments! Such a great place!
Fantastic experience: Great visit and great dental team experience. Everyone was caring and professional. Looking forward to my future visits.
Negative experience: Getting an appointment here took much longer than expected, and I found the facility to be outdated and not as clean as I had hoped.
Hey Nick, we have not seen you as a patient there are a couple other dental offices down the street you may have went to.
Fantastic experience: Marcy did a great job cleaning my teeth! Paid close attention to details. Very gentle but thorough.
Fantastic experience: It was my 1st time there, everyone was so nice and friendly, I’m going back for my cleaning in Oct, looking forward to it, Thank you Blue Jay Dental
Fantastic experience: Everyone was really great and no judgement of how your teeth are bad!
Fantastic experience: Thank you guys for being the best Dental Team! Everyone is so nice and helpful keep up the great work Dr. Fidone!
Fantastic experience: This is a wonderful office. My mom's insurance has caused us endless problems. The office was on top of it at all times and went the extra mile to resolve the issues. The degree of support and communication we received is unprecedented in healthcare these days. I wish all of my mom's healthcare was this outstanding. A special shootout to Kayla for all the time she spent on hold with insurance so we didn't have to.
Fantastic experience: Was able to get in quickly for an appointment. Their facility is very clean and the whloe establishment is very updated, (including the dental equipment). The staff was professional and friendly . Very happy with the whole experience and will continue going there for all my dental needs!
Fantastic experience: My visit went very well was not bad at all employees were very professional. Thank you
