Positive experience: Nice office and people! The only problem is the big dogs in the office that bark so loud.
Thank you so much for your kind words about our office and team—we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that the barking was disruptive during your visit. Our therapy dogs are a beloved part of our practice, especially for patients who struggle with dental anxiety. They’re trained to offer comfort and companionship, and many of our patients tell us they feel calmer and more at ease with them nearby.
That said, they are still dogs. And dogs sometimes bark. Usually, they’re vocalizing during the day when they’re greeting our delivery team or their favorite patients! lol
At the end of the day, we always want every patient to feel comfortable, and we’re actively working on ways to minimize noise while still offering the emotional support our furry team members provide. If you ever prefer a quieter visit, just let us know—we’re happy to accommodate.
Thanks again for your feedback. It helps us grow and serve our patients even better.

Thank you so much for your kind words and generous review! It means the world to us that you felt well cared for—we’re truly committed to doing everything we can to support your health and comfort.

Fantastic experience: Paulette the Dental hygienist was very knowledgeable and professional. She didn't rush through the cleaning and did a top notch job. Dr.Ferrara came in introduced his self checked everything out. He was easy to talk to and asked if i had any concerns he said there is one spot we need to keep a eye on. This was my first visit and am glad i chose doctor Ferrara and his team to be my family dentist. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new dentist you will be glad you did. P.S. I also loved the goody bag Paulette gave me.

Fantastic experience: You guys are really good at your jobs and i hope you have a good weekend i will recommend you guys to my friends and family ? Alex
Fantastic experience: I truly can’t thank Dr. Ferrara and his amazing team enough. I came in with a broken tooth and honestly feeling desperate over a holiday weekend. This wasn’t the first time they’ve seen me in a tough spot, and just like before, they welcomed me with genuine care and urgency. There was no wait time at all—they got me scheduled as soon as possible and upon arrival took me straight back and immediately started helping me. Dr. Ferrara was so compassionate, calm, and thorough, making sure I felt safe and understood every step of what was happening. It’s rare to find a dental office that treats you like a person, not just a patient. I’m beyond grateful for his kindness and expert care. I highly recommend this dental office hands down.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Dr Ferrara and his team on replacing two teeth that I have always been unhappy with, cosmetically. For the last two years, they have taken such good care of me on my journey to replacing those teeth. From the initial sit down meeting to talk about goals, to the final results, everything has been a breeze. I couldn’t recommend the team at Ferrara enough!
Fantastic experience: Thank you for another great cleaning! I was called into the room right away, and within the hour I was headed home with clean teeth that had been checked by the dentist. Everyone at the office is friendly too!
Thanks for the kinda words! We love making our patients happy!
Fantastic experience: Great staff and really good facility that’s very efficient.
Fantastic experience: What’s not to like? Professional, friendly, thorough & knowledgeable. A very good cleaning and exam. Also the building is the prettiest color I have been searching for a dentist office since I moved to the area and I have found it.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ferrara and staff were kind and personable during my visit as a new patient. They even set me up with their office insurance plan since I don’t have dental coverage at this time. I am already looking forward to coming back! ✨
Our in-office member plan is a great fit for many of our patients without employer-provided dental coverage. It’s important to know that while it isn’t insurance coverage, the flexibility and convenience this affords our patients is truly worth it!
Fantastic experience: The office is clean and well kept. The staff are very professional and friendly. Great place for your dental needs. Highly recommend!!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ferrara and his staff are amazing

Fantastic experience: Excellent care Dr.Firmin and the entire staff are fantastic!
Fantastic experience: I desperately needed to see a dentist following oral surgery to check my bite after a severe infection following a tooth extraction and immediate implant gone awry. I was in excruciating pain that was unrelenting. I was referred by my oral surgeon to Dr. Ferrara to check what the surgeon thought was a misaligned bite. . I can’t tell you how lucky I was to walk into his office and be seen by this capable, knowledgeable and professional man. He was extremely thorough in his approach, listened to the case, and offered an opinion totally unexpected but, it all made sense where my pain was coming from and it wasn’t my bite. There are a lot of dentist out there and you are flying blind unless someone tells you where “not to go”versus “where to go”. Go to this man. He knows his stuff and practices with honesty integrity and skill. I’d give him 100 stars if I could.
Fantastic experience: I love my experience today!! Thank you

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient of Ferrara Family Dentistry and Dr. Joe Ferrara for more than a decade and have personally known Dr. Joe for nearly 20 years. He’s the definition of professional and trustworthy. What sets him apart is his ability to create a comprehensive dental care plan that helps you understand the whole picture of your dental health. He takes the time to explain treatment options, answer questions, and ensure you’re comfortable with every decision. His attention to detail and commitment to high-quality care have always given me peace of mind. The entire team at his practice is friendly, efficient, and genuinely caring, making each visit a positive experience. If you’re looking for a dentist you can rely on for long-term care and honest advice, I can’t recommend Dr. Ferrara enough.
Fantastic experience: I would recommend this dentist to absolutely everyone I know. I’ve been to A LOT of dentist in my short 38 years, and this was by far the best experience I’ve ever had.

We strive to provide excellent service and are thrilled that it has been reflected in your visit. Thank you for choosing our office and for taking the time to review us.
Fantastic experience: My family and I moved to the North Shore last year and everyone we asked about a great dental office mentioned Ferrara Family Dentistry! My first appointment was this morning, and I was lucky enough to get Paulette as my dental hygienist. She was pleasant and patient and explained everything she was about to do so that I wouldn’t have any concerns. She took the time to get to know me personally, as well as my dental history, and by the time I left, I felt like I’ve been going to her for years. Quite simply, she’s amazing! At the end of my cleaning Dr. Ferrara came into the office to meet me and consult with Paulette. Again, like Paulette, he could not have been more personable and knowledgeable. Best personality of any doctor I’ve ever met! From here on out, like everyone else I’ve spoken to before, I will highly recommend Ferrara Family Dentistry to friends and family. -Blaize
Great to meet you as well! It’s important to everyone here that we make experiences pleasant and form meaningful relationships with our patients. Thanks for the wonderful review!
