If you hate getting the Novocain shots for dental work, schedule your work with Dr. Patel. I have had a lot of shots in my 50 years, and Dr. Patel is the best at giving them I have ever experienced. The rest of the staff and process were top notch as well, but Dr. Patel stands out as excellent.

Very positive experience. Had a severe toothache. Called them early in the morning and told them my problem. They asked me to come right away. Very accommodating and Dr.McCutcheon was very helpful. Took time to explain me the x-ray of my tooth and suggested I see a specialist for my problem. The office also emailed me the copy of my xray so I could show it to my dentist in India. An appointment and xray cost me USD132.

Absolutely love Dr. Livermore...I’ve had the misfortune to have horrific dental experiences throughout my lifetime but Dr. Livermore has changed all of that. She’s been considerate, caring and explains all of the options for preserving my teeth and has been a joy to work with. I don’t have dental insurance, so must discuss in detail, what procedures will be the most beneficial and cost-effective in the long run. I’ve never felt discriminated against given this situation; rather, I believe Dr. Livermore understands the fiscal constraints being on a fixed income involves, and have never felt

This office has been such a part of my life over the years. I have been a patient here for almost 25 years. I absolutely adore everyone all the dentists and staff are wonderful. I have not one bad thing to say. This office has bent over backwards over the years for me trying to fix my teeth. Thank you for your wonderful years of service.

I was terrified of the dentists until I met Dr McCutcheons,sorry I didn’t meet him sooner they are a great bunch in the office very nice and pleasant to speak to. I would recommend them to any body looking for a great dentist. Sorry Dr McCutcheons has retired, but happy I had the chance for him to quell my fears.

I have been going to this office for a good long time. I have never been upset with anything I have had done. Look forward to visiting while I am there. :)

I've been going here since I was 2 years old. I'm 33 now and have no plans to switch. Definitely recommended!

Our family has been going to this office all my life. Dr. Uris was the first dentist I saw there! Most recently I see Dr. Patel. I really trust him and appreciate his modern methods and general demeanor. The billing office is human, not stuffy and demanding like some know how to be. In a nutshell- this office is there for your dental needs and do not come across as only in it for money.

Mel Richards has been my dentist since 1976. We moved around central NY - Tully and Syracuse - but always drove to Ithaca for our appointments. We Repperts wish him a very happy retirement!

The visit itself was fine. Your standard cleaning. The hygienist was very nice. However… not only was it expensive but I went through hell trying to get my refund check from my insurance company. This dentist office gave us the runaround and it took almost a year for us to get a refund because tey continually dropped the ball. Once we did it wasn't even the right amount

Really really great. They do their best to get you in fast, they accept the Cornell insurance and they're very nice and explain every step of the way.
This is the place that everyone who's been here for long enough tells new people to go. Definitely go here.
