PATIENT REVIEWS

I didn’t know my Dentist was on Yelp!!! He is the best Denstist in the entire world!!!! And it’s not just because he is mine! Seriously…. Let’s talk Tech and Technique: Dr. Richter has to be one the most High Tech dentists I have ever been to. He keeps up to date with all the latest gadgets and tech as well as techniques. He is also always keeping up with the newest available products. I believe he helped or helps write some of the text books for dentistry. Office Staff: Friendly. Always accomodating. Always professional. I have never had a problem getting an appt when I needed one, even in an emergency. But let’s talk serious….I have pretty painful TMJ. He has elimated all my pain and my mouth functions beautifully. If you need a good dentist….Dr. Richter is the best.

I went to Dr. Richter several years ago with a gum disease problem. I had already lost a rear tooth and thought I would have to go for very expensive periodontics surgery. Dr. Richer began treating me with periodontal laser therapy in his office. He was able to correct my bone deterioration, and save the rest of my teeth. Subsequently, he put me on a quarterly gum cleaning program by his excellent hygienist team. I have not lost a tooth since then and my gums are clean and healthy

Dr. Richter and his staff are truly the most kind and accomodating staff you will ever come across. I have been going to Dr. Richter for my dental work for many years and I have NEVER been disappointed. His staff always greets you will a smile, his office is immaculately clean and up to date, and his skill in his work is like no other dentist I’ve ever visited. I am a “needy” dental patient (with gum issues, have been through invisilign, countless cavities, and most recently lumineers) and no matter my issue he handles it with care, and a perfect outcome. About five years ago I went back to him after I learned about veneers, and when I told him the look I wanted he gentley guided me through the process and made sure I had the look that I wanted, but still looked natural and feminine. I am BEYOND thrilled with my teeth! I get compliments everywhere I go. He is a perfectionist and you will never leave with anything disatisfactory. In fact- a couple of my colleagues have gone themselves for their OWN veneers. He recently started offering injectibles. YAY!! His skill with any sort of injection (be it novicane, botox, etc) are completely painless and gentle. I have had botox and juvederm done in multiple place all over NYC- and none ever last as long as Dr Richter’s. It gets even better- while you are sitting and waiting to numb up or get your cavity filled or whatever you are getting done, the chairs massage you and theres a flat screen TV mounted above you to watch! It doesn’t get more comfortable than this place. I RARELY make reviews online, but Hampton Family Dental was one of the rare few I felt the need to put out there. I commute to him from Queens for goodness sake! He is totally worth it.

Dr. Richter clearly LOVES his work!  He has SO much knowledge and technique to share.  He is so comfortable to work with and does a top notch job no matter what the project so to speak.  He knows so much about dental care and easily and happily shares all.  This is one of, if not the BEST dentist around.  Make your appointment today!  😉

Dr. Richter is extremely knowledgeable and professional in dentistry. I have enjoyed learning about orthodontics, sleep apnea, and TMJ issues at his practice. He really knows his stuff! I can wholeheartedly recommend him for anyone that needs an excellent, honest and kind dentist!

I love Dr. Richter and the whole Patchogue Family Dental staff. The dentist has always made me nervous, but his staff does everything they can to make you feel comfortable. They are so friendly and really explain everything in depth before they do it.  I’ve been going for years, and even though I’ve moved to the city, I still make the trek out there twice a year because the stress-free environment Dr. Richter’s office provides is important to me.

Their staff is the best, they’re good with kids, their treatment is gentle, my dental procedures are always clearly/thoroughly explained to me, their office can do orthodontics, and they have lots of in-house machines (same day crowns/implants, fancy x-rays, etc.).  They have a lot of extra COVID-preventative measures including lots of PPE, paperless forms, and hyper-HEPA air filters. I really can’t recommend them enough!

I have been a long time patient for Dr Richter. He is the ultimate professional with state of the art equipment and extremely good skills. The hygienists including Courtney , Katie, Lorraine are thorough but gentle and are excellent. The rest of the office staff are equally friendly and helpful. I recommend Dr Richter without reservation.

I highly recommended Patchogue Family Dental, Dr. Richard, Richter, as the dentist for you and your family. Exceptional knowledge and experience along with having the latest state-of-the-art equipment in-house to better detect and provide exceptional oral health care. My oral health is his number one priority – he alerted me to the tiniest cavities that other dentists over 5 years never told me about. Besides providing outstanding care, they are caring people.

I have only been seeing Dr. Richter a short while, but since I have I am sooo happy. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Appts are available after work hours which is awesome. Dr. Richter is always learning new techonolgy and methods to give the best care. But even with all this nee techonology, prices are in line with other local dentists. Definitely love Dr Richter.

My family has been coming to Patchogue Family dental for over 20 years. Dr Richter has been awesome throughout the years. He is very good and always follows up after visits. It’s great to have a dentist who is caring and always available in an emergency. His staff is very good as well. I would recommend this family dental practice to anyone who is looking for a very good dental office.

I came to Dr. Richter over 20 years ago with so many damaged teeth that I was sure I was headed for full upper and lower bridges. Instead, today I have a healthy mouth and compliments from strangers about my beautiful smile, which I always point out isn’t mine, but Dr. Richter’s. 🙂 He’s especially sensitive to the concerns of cowards such as myself, and is always current with the latest techniques and treatments. Everyone in the office is an encyclopedia of dentistry, and they’re also the most welcoming, compassionate staff I’ve ever known. I can’t emphasize strongly enough…this is THE dental practice for you. Don’t think twice. Just go.

Dr. Richter is by far the best dentist I have ever met. My family started using his practice about 3 years ago and we consider ourselves blessed to have found him and his wonderful staff. One of my daughters has severe anxiety when it comes to seeing a dentist and Dr. Richter has been so patient and so kind that she no longer avoids denal visits. Dr. Richter treats every patient with a warm and gentle manner and makes everyone comfortable. He takes his time. He talks to to you and will never begin treating until he is 100% certain that you are comfortable and ready. This review is for the entire staff. Patchogue and Hampton Family Dental really makes every patient feel as if they are part of the family.

Without a doubt, one of the most gifted and compassionate dentists I have ever encountered. Made an appointment with Dr. Richter when traveling 40 miles each way to have dental work done by my cousin was becoming too difficult. That was 15 years ago. He has become our family dentist and orthodontist and I have recommended him to friends many times. He is very knowledgeable, lectures around the world and has state-of-the-art equipment. He treats his patients like family. His daughter is also an excellent dentist and his wife an excellent hygienist. Both work in his office and make this a very welcoming and family-friendly practice.

Dr. Richter is one of the top dentists I have ever met over the years and in one follow-up visit found numerous areas that my teeth need both immediate attention and areas that we can plan treatment over the next year. Over the last several years, no other dentist have I visited shared the level of decay on specific teeth, fractures of teeth and other areas that need attention to keep both my teeth and mouth healthy for years to come. If you are in need of a dentist who is extremely knowledgeable, with an expertise in various areas, honest and so humble, I highly recommend Dr. Richter. You can be sure to feel safe and trust in his and his staff care.

Dr. Richter is the best dentist I have ever met. My entire family appreciates him. Dr. Richter and his wonderful staff make the experience so personal and warm that it is actually a pleasure to go to the dentist. My daughter had a fear of dentists until she was 16 years old. Dr. Richter put her at ease, was patient, gentle and so reassuring that she no longer fearful of going to the dentist. Completely changed her life.

Dr. Richter is the best dentist and one I entrust the care of my teeth and mouth for many years to come. He is extremely knowledgeable and caught a number of oral issues I had that other dentists did not over the last 5 years. His practice has the latest state-of-the-art technology and that means he is able to see in 3D issues of your sinus, teeth, bone and much more…early detection is prevention.

I have been going to Dr. Richter with my family since he open up. Dr. Richter is a kind and compassionate dentist, he explains everything to you so there are no surprises. He has an amazing staff around him and now his daughter has joined the practice and she is just as amazing as Dr. Richter. You will not find a better dentist and I have been to a few. I highly recommend him as your family dentist.

Dr. Richter is an exceptional dentist practitioner whom is also skilled and very knowledgeable in endodontics, sleep apnea amongst other things and has the latest technology and state-of-art equipment – dental cone beam CT (CBCT) scan that quickly and painlessly  allows Dr. Richter to get an accurate and detailed look at your mouth and relating structures.  I highly recommend him as he found the tiniest cavities that other dentists over 5 years never let me know.  I trust his judgement and care to ensure the my oral health is in great hands.

So like anybody else, I looked at the dentist near me that had the best reviews.. comes to my suprise there was just 1 office with 5 starts, so I wanted to see what the hype was about. Dr.richtar does a great job the best dentist I’ve ever been to hands down. He makes sure your comfortable and makes sure your procedures are pain free, his staff are all very so nice!! Especially Shannon and Amelia? (Curly dark hair) I’m not sure if that’s her name, but they are the best!!!!!!!!

I look forward to my appointments at Patchogue and Hampton Family Dental because they are always so welcoming and friendly. More importantly, they are helpful, caring and do a great job. They use the latest equipment and keep me informed about my teeth and gums. I am comfortable knowing they make sterilization and cleanliness a priority as well as keeping my smile at its best!

I would highly recommend Dr. Richard Richter, Dr. Alex Richter and the wonderful staff at Patchogue and Hampton Family Dental. They are warm, friendly and compassionate. I have very sensitive teeth and gums and the hygienists make the experience painless and comfortable. They have truly improved the condition of my teeth and gums. Dr. Richard Richter is an incredible dentist, he takes the time to explain procedures and is always gentle, kind and extremely knowledgeable. He is truly gifted in his field. Dr. Richter is always innovative and has the latest technology. I’ve also recently seen Dr. Alex Richter and she is professional, yet personable and really cares about my health and happiness. She takes the time to explain everything. I love Patchogue and Hampton family Dental, they truly care about their patients and their care.

I’ve always been skeptical and uneasy about dental care due to bad experiences in the past but after becoming a patient of Dr. Richter I can honestly say I’m beyond satisfied. I’m always left feeling comfortable and not in any discomfort after receiving care. Not only are you treated like family by Dr. Richter and his staff but they also go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and address any concerns you may have. The staffs customer service is nothing short of impeccable. If your looking for a respectable dentist/staff this office is highly recommended.

Dr. Richter and his team have been absolutely amazing! I highly recommend!! I had really bad TMJ pain flare up back in February 2019. I tried numerous things to try to help my pain – chiropractor, acupuncturist, etc. I was also going through numerous medications trying to see what could help my pain. I finally went to Dr. Richter in April 2019 and he helped me get right on track. He had me see a neurologist and an ENT to rule out other issues it could have been. I ended up having TMD. Dr. Richter made me mouth guards and showed me some exercises to do daily for my jaw. After months of horrible, chronic pain, by July 2019 I was 90% better and almost completely pain free! I have also stopped taking all medications. Dr. Richter has been so supportive and helpful through everything. Please go to him if you are having any TMJ or TMD issues! He, and his awesome team, will work with you to make sure your pain is taken care of!

Patchogue Family Dental truly cares about their patients. Always straightforward with recommendations and appropriate plans for treatment. Great care taken to meet my dental/gum care needs, especially since gum disease runs strong in my family. For those who suffer with painful TMJ issues like me, no better place to go! The doctors there really understand the challenges in treating me as a TMJ sufferer. TLC demonstrated by dentists and a professional and kind staff. I recommend this Dental practice highly. They continue to be a great help to me. I won’t go anywhere else. Try them. You will be glad you did!
