Fantastic experience: Dr. Ricco is very compassionate, kind and understanding. He has an incredible staff who works there. I have been going to his office for many years. Karen the office manager always answers all my questions and always puts my mind at ease. If you need anything she is the one to talk to. Karen is excellent at what she does. The whole staff is very professional, kind and caring! I most definitely have to put a shout out to the amazing hygienist Jennifer. Jennifer is also very personable and I love how she thinks to ask if she is hurting me but never does. She is definitely amazing when it comes to cleaning your teeth! Nicole when I see her always makes a point to say hello. If anyone out there is looking for a new Dentist this is the place to be! A place where you know you are in good hands. Oh and one more thing, the office is kept very clean, which says a lot me! Thank you, Faye August

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ricco is an amazing dentist. He is polite and takes his time throughout any procedures. The staff and hygienists are all super friendly and accommodating.

Connie Pinto Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I normally do not take the time to drop a review, however- The Ricco Dental Group-Collectively, warrants a review. To say i have a fear of the dentist and everything it entails, would be a gross understatement. If you haven't graced someone with a smile lately, or perhaps you can't enjoy some of your favorite noshes, because of your pearly whites...make an appointment. There is not one aspect of your experience that you will regret, the decision you make, to choose Ricco Dental Group, will be one of the best decisions you make for yourself, your oral health, and your smile- then add to the equation....no crowded waiting room, no elevator music, no dentist office "smell", even that little "Mr. Thirsty" plastic saliva grabber is not offensive. Staff is wonderful- - go get your smile on and join the family!!!

Philip Trugman Published on Google

Fantastic experience: After visiting and becoming a patient of Dr. Steven Ricco and his outstanding staff I have come to realize that the only regret I have was not becoming a patient earlier. It is refreshing to be in a doctor's office and feeling as if I had known him all my life and that goes for the entire staff. If you are looking for a dentist that will put you at ease and made to feel comfortable, this is the practice to use.

Fantastic experience: As a long sufferer of dental nightmares, it was refreshing to find the Ricco Dental Group. The ability to have my extensive work done in one vist, while earlier experiences had me expecting at least 3 or more, was so unexpected. Not to mention what an incredible relief. Anyone that had any type of bad experience previously, would be wise to visit this practice.

Edward Carter Jr Published on Google

Fantastic experience: When you visit any doctors office the very first impression is the front end of the business and Ricco Dental has always knocked it out of the park every time for the many years of being a patient there. Love the entire team (Karen, Trish, Nicole, Megan (hope I got the spelling right :-) ) and to Doctor Ricco who is so pleasant but still extremely compassionate as well as and most important extremely professional. All the way down to very simple issues they always listen to your concerns and always find a way to resolve it for you no matter how complex or simple it may be. Really love them for everything they do…thanks so much to everyone!

Negative experience: Deleted the original review, that I made before the work was completed. I will not be returning to this office. I asked the DR Lubliner to help me several times. He was annoyed. Left a long message with his receptionist & was ignored. So , I, Had to get another Dentist to help me with the crowns that were too big causing me severe pain. No, I do not recommend this Dr.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best dentist office I have ever been to! When you walk in, you are greeted by Karen, who is just a delight to talk to! My hygienist Jenny gives by far the best cleanings and is so personable. After your cleaning, Dr. Ricco reviews your X-rays and double checks your teeth. He is that only dentist that has been able to work on my husband’s teeth without sedation. I personally look forward to my twice a year cleanings and will never go elsewhere!

Michael Kennedy Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I've been a patient in many dentist office through the years. This is by far the best I've ever experienced. In this day of "corporate" denistry, it's nice to be a person, rather than a number. Dr. Ricco and staff are all excellent. They make you feel welcome at every turn, but in addition, they are excellent at what they do. Communication is great throughout the process from appointment setting to the actual dental work as it's being performed. It's like being a part of the family! I will go nowhere else for my future dental work.

His staff is simply outstanding-from the front desk to the people who clean my teeth and especially Dr. Ricco. I just had a root canal and it was not the unpleasant experience I feared.

A Winters Published on Google

Fantastic experience: All-around wonderful dental office! After several bad experiences with other local dentists, I was thrilled to finally find Dr. Ricco. He's genuinely considerate of his patients' concerns, and his work always meets exceptionally high standards for both health & aesthetics. Everyone who works here is lovely, and Karen at the front desk is practically a miracle worker, always managing to get me in quickly when an emergency arises. After trusting this office with whitening treatments, several crowns, & an implant (correcting all four of my top front teeth), I can confidently recommend the Ricco Dental Group to anyone on LI in search of a friendly & efficient office with highly skilled dental professionals.

Louise Taaffe Published on Google

S Published on Google

Negative experience: Update: I did speak to Dr. Ricco. He was very apologetic & he seemed very genuine. He said if he was involved throughout the whole process while I was trying to fix all the issues, he would’ve had my back, but because I didn’t involve him there isn’t anything he could do and my response to him was I didn’t involve him because I had already given him a chance to fix the problem and I lacked trust in him. Also he said root canals have a probably of failing and I responded to him if he was aware of this then why risk it when it wasn’t even needed? I went to him several years ago to replace the veneers I had on my two front teeth. My existing veneers were 15 yrs old, they were cemented very well, never once did I have an issue with them falling off, but they were a little bulky for my taste and a little yellower compare to my own teeth so I asked Dr. Ricco to replace them. The worse decision of my life. When he gave me the new veneers, he shaved down my teeth a lot, gave me tiny baby teeth because he wanted the veneers to sit flat, however one of the veneers kept falling off randomly, it was happening on weekly basis and because I was left with such small tooth underneath, I had to call in sick for work every time, weeks went by with the same reoccurring issue so finally I said to him something else has to happen so he agreed to give me crowns instead at no cost to me, but here is the unethical part, he said he would need to do root canal on my perfectly healthy teeth because otherwise it would be very sensitive for me to have crowns on teeth that still have their roots, which is all untrue & the only reason he wanted to do the root canal was because he could bill my insurance so he would make up for the “free” crowns he gave me. I trusted him & believed what he said to be true & allowed him to butcher me further. He did the root canals & gave me the worse looking crowns that because they didn’t properly fit (open margins), my gums never healed. For several years I walked around with red and inflamed gums. finally decided to get them fixed when I knew insurance would allow crown replacement. Needed to wait 7 yrs but this time I went to an expert, a Prostodontic and that’s when I realized what a terrible job he had done when she said first I needed to get my bite fixed by an orthodontist which is why the veneer that he had given me originally was popping out and then I had to see a Predontist to get crown lengthening (gum surgery) to expose more teeth for the cement to adhere better & after over 1 year of treatments/surgery once I was healed I got my new beautiful crowns. But now almost 2 yrs later, I ended up having a sinus tract on my gum above one of the tooth that he had given me a root canal. Sinus tract is sign of infection so I needed to see an endodontist to do a 3d scan to confirm & I do in fact have an infection that requires a root canal retreatment because the root canal he did wasn’t done properly. They would need to drill into my beautiful new crown and hopefully it won’t crack in order for them to do the treatment. Several years later, I’m still paying the price for allowing dr Ricco to work on me. Ive spend too many years of not smiling for pics, so much heartache, so many nights of having nightmares of my crowns falling off, so much time spent fixing all the issues. I’ve spend over 12k so far and still counting. Sadly all because he either didn't realize that my bite is off or because it wasn’t an ideal situation for his practice to send me to get proper treatment. No root canal should be performed on healthy teeth, specially if precautions aren't taken to not introduce bacteria while giving me the root canal hence why I need a root canal retreatment. I’m hoping this review will reach people and won’t allow him do things to you that only a specialist should do. Because of him I’ve seen and been treated by every specialist in dentistry.
