PATIENT REVIEWS

I lost a filling exposing the nerve. Needless to say I was in a fair amount of pain. I was very disappointed with my previous Dentist, so I did an online search for Dental offices in my area. After finding 5 that I liked, I called for the opinion of my PCP, who suggested NHFD. I called them for an appointment explaining the situation and they fit me into the schedule for the next day. I was able to fill out the obligatory forms online, saving me from having to show up early for my appointment. I couldn’t have been more surprised by the professionalism and care of the staff, especially after my negative experience with my previous Dentist. From the Receptionist to Doctor Mauro, and everyone inbetween, it was such a positive experience, that I will recommend NHFD to my family and friends, and to all of you. I would like to thank their whole staff for the care they provided.

I was really nervous going to the dentist because it had been a while & I know my teeth suck. But the entire experience was beyond good- which are words I thought to be impossible when describing an experience at a dentist. From women working the desk, the tech who did my cleaning (I can’t remember her name, but she was 10/10 amazing), and Dr. Mauro himself were all patient, kind, thorough, and calming. I left feel 100% less anxious about my mouth, and actually looking forward to going back for the rest of my oral care. Thank you to the whole staff!!!

Dr. Mauro and his staff are amazing! I travel over 30 minutes to come to this dental office because they are the best! Starting with the front office staff who are always professional. Melissa in particular is very friendly and goes above and beyond to greet clients and makes sure they get what they need prior to being seen! The dental assistants are always courteous in making the client’s needs are met! Dr Mauro is the icing on the cake! He makes sure his clients are well taken care of and comfortable. He provides excellent service.

When the dentist who started this practice retired, I had planned to switch to another group closer to my home in the East End. But after meeting Dr. Mauro and getting such expert care, I realized I would be giving up too much for the sake of saving 15 minutes in travel time. This practice offers health care professionals who really know their stuff and who are using the most up-to-date tools and techniques. They are respectful of my time and I feel as if I get great personal attention.

Wow! Just went to my first appointment at North Hills Family Dental and I am really impressed. As a person who is nervous about going to the dentist (especially during a pandemic) I felt so safe and at ease during my appointment. They are taking so many extra precautions including multiple patient screeners leading up to the day of the appointment and air purifiers in the exam rooms. The staff is also extremely friendly and kind. Special thanks to my awesome Hygienist Hannah and Dr. Anna. They were both awesome. Highly recommend this place!

My faith in extensive dental work has been restored! On time, clean, but most of all no pain, no discomfort! Explanation of everything, I heard “please” and “thank you” to me and among the doc and his staff. They explained possible side effects / complications and made sure I understood. Hours later and I’m FINE!

I was looking for the dentist close to home and this office came up and had good reviews. Today was my second visit with dr.Raj and he was great, along with the rest of the staff. Would definitely recommend this place

I have had dental anxiety almost my entire life. After moving and not going to the dentist for several years I finally made an appointment for a cleaning and x rays. I ended up needing quite a few cavities filled. I had so much anxiety about this but Dr. Mauro and his staff were so accommodating. If you have anxiety about the dentist, give North Hills Family Dentist a try. Dr. Mauro was patient and explained everything he was doing. He also suggested I bring music to listen to while my cavities were being filled. These things might seem simple and small but they go a long way to easing my anxiety. I can say after a couple of visits, my anxiety is so much less. And I won’t skip anymore appointments!

Woke up in the middle of the night with a throbbing pain in my mouth. I thought for sure it was a cavity. I searched for dentists in the North Hills, and these wonderful people had the best reviews… I can see why! I wrote an email requesting an appointment ASAP, and someone kindly called me after they opened and scheduled me in as an emergent patient. The office is very well kept and clean. Everyone who I encountered was very nice and caring. I scheduled a new patient exam and cleaning that day because I will definitely return!

We just started coming to North Hills Family Dental. You can tell they want to give you a positive experience beyond your dental treatment/checkup. All of the staff are super friendly and the dentists really care about you as a patient and love what they do. They try to stay on top of technology and keep their office nice and up to date. I’ve also heard great things about how they work with small children who are apprehensive about the dentist. Additionally, they have an awesome teeth whitening program where you can get a lifetime of teeth whitening for $99. This gets you custom trays and whitening gel every six months at your regular cleanings. We were provided this whitening service for free as a perk of being referred to the practice by our neighbor.

I absolutely love the staff, hygienists, and dentists at NHFD. They are so very polite, professional, and compassionate. I never feel uncomfortable or pressured in their office. I get the facts and the care that I believe is above and beyond what one could expect. When you come here there is nothing to “hate” about going to the dentist. They Are so good at what they do you want to come back. Huge shout out to Heather and her awesome care and explanations on dental healthcare And to the whole staff for their ability to make anyone feel comfortable. I look forward to my next visit and many more years to come with NHFD.

Mindy was an awesome Dental Hygienist!!! She explained everything to me every step of the way. She was also very entertaining the whole time cleaning my teeth!!! Dr. Mauro was very straight forward about what procedures needed to be done!! Best experience I’ve ever had at a Dentist office!!

I absolutely loved my experience. So glad I chose them. Very clean. The entire staff is very Polite,very professional, and very friendly. Helped me with everything I needed. Dr Lawrence Mauro was very nice. Did a wonderful job. I felt zero pain. Even when he gave me the novocaine shot I did  not feel it, first time ever in my life. Over all it was a great experience something I never thought I would say at a dentist office lol.

I had my first visit this morning. This office went above and beyond my expectations as a patient. I have not been to the dentist in about 2 years and was very apprehensive before my visit. As soon as I entered the office, the calm and friendly atmosphere and a friendly greeting from Bonnie at the front desk, I was immediately put at ease. Then I met Tonya, who’s vibrant personality and exceptional dental hygienist skills were top notch! She has a deft hand and was gentle and thorough with the Xrays and cleaning of my teeth. Next, Dr. Mauro met with me and examined my teeth. He is the BEST of the best when it comes to dentists (believe me, I have been to a few dentists in my time!) He is friendly and has one of the best chair-side manners. He is a true professional and you can sense that he is working in the profession he has a passion for. He is extremely knowledgeable and proficient in dentistry. My xrays were posted and Dr. Mauro described in detail the plan of care for my problem areas. I made my next appointment and was given the “goody bag” to pamper my teeth at home 🙂 I am so thrilled to have found such a fantastic place to have my teeth cared for. Sounds crazy, but I am even looking forward to having my filling done. A++++ Thank you, Dr. Mauro, and staff! Keep up the fantastic work!

Was my first visit to the dentist in some time. I knew I had an issue when my tooth broke and needed to find a dentist. The entire staff was very welcoming and My hygienist, Heather did an awesome job explaining everything to me about my review and cleaning. Looking forward to continuing to go to North Hills Family Dental for years to come!

Tremendous experience! Professional and friendly staff in a very pleasant and comfortable office! Dr. Mauro himself is wonderful! Great personality and really cares about what is best for his patients! Moreover, he actually reads the documents you fill out!

This office is really great. The dentists and staff could not be more friendly and professional. The appointments have begun on schedule yet we never felt rushed. The patient, my mother, is 90 years old and they had to explain things repetitively to her and they did so with patience and gentility.  It is truly a pleasure going to this dental office.  I highly recommend Drs. Mauro and Crasto at NHFD.

Once again, North Hills Family Dental went above and beyond with their service and care. Recently had two cavities taken care of and the entire experience was great. Everyone who works there is fantastic, friendly, helpful and make sure that you are comfortable with everything that is going on. Thanks again for a wonderful dental experience!

I wanted to say that I am very self conscious about my teeth. I really don’t like showing them or having people see them. When I had initially called for my appointment, I explained that I have never been to the dentist before, I the response I received made me feel like I was being judged, just adding to my anxiety for a dentist visit. I am beyond glad that I followed through at this office. I had a general cleaning done, and the dentist I had couldn’t have been more comforting; she completely took the stress and uneasiness I had away. Hannah was EXTREMELY professional and never did I feel like I was being judged for my teeth. She kept great conversation and made the time that passed comforting. I cannot express how grateful I am for this visit. The office is following guidelines for covid, and take temperature checks upon arrival. I would definitely recommend this office! Thank you so much again, Hannah!

I’m so glad I found North Hills Family Dental.  Everyone is so friendly and truly makes you feel at ease.  The entire dental staff are so friendly and competent, while making me feel relaxed and addressed any issues and concerns I had.  I’m so pleased with the dental work I had done.  I really appreciated that.  The new technology they use at this office is superb.  Love the new renovations – feels relaxing and cozy.

I usually don’t take the time to fill out reviews as such. However, I felt that North Hills Family Dental was certainly more than worthy of setting aside a few minutes. We just switched to NHFD. My first visit was extremely pleasant. Everyone was very nice and professional. My second visit, today, where I had to get some work done, and in which I was not looking forward to, was even more so. Actually, I think it’s the first time in my life I actually laughed and had somewhat of a “good time” at the dentist office. They run an extremely friendly and professional office.

Dr. Mauro is highly educated, has the knowledge and experience to take care of all dental problems. His staff makes you feel welcome as they treat you with professional cleaning, etc. From the minute you step inside until you leave you know you are in the best hands. In my opinion Dr. Mauro is the best of the best. I highly recommend him for all dental needs.

I’ve had 2 issues in the last year and both times Dr Mauro and his staff were the most amazing staff. They were able to get me in stat and were so professional and comforting making the dental experience less fearful than I expected. This group is awesome, I truly don’t mind the dentist the way I used to, I can say without a doubt going to the dentist now is a joy because of the people at NH family Dental. Thank you Dr. Mauro and staff.

He provides excellent service.

This is my 2nd time reviewing due to the fact that Yelp filtered my 1st review for possibly being fake. (as well as another review for Dr. Mauro) I am a real patient of Dr. Mauro & North Hills Family Dental. This is my experience with this practice & again, I highly recommend this dentist & his staff: Dr. Mauro, Maria, & Tonya are so fantastic. Tonya has been my dental hygienist for many years & I absolutely adore her. My teeth feel amazing after a cleaning & her positive personality makes coming to the dentist easy. Dr. Mauro has been my dentist since he took over the practice last summer. He is awesome. I always feel that my check-ups are done so thoroughly & because he stays at the top notch of all technology, the practice is able to offer solutions & treatments that are new & better. Novocaine shots are virtually painless & I never feel discomfort or pain after an appointment. They keep a timely & efficient schedule and if you ever have an issue with your teeth, Dr. Mauro calls you back personally to assist you. Maria is a wonderful dental technician! She assists Dr. Mauro but also can do many procedures on her own. In addition, she has a fun, enthusiastic attitude that makes you feel comfortable and at ease. Dr. Mauro & his staff are so welcoming & knowledgeable. They explain everything that they are going to do & make sure that you understand before they begin. I was once terrified of going to the dentist but now I feel secure 100%. I recommend North Hills Family Dental to those looking for top notch care with personable, friendly staff!

Great experience here on my first visit. Staff is welcoming and friendly. Clean, spacious waiting area. Treatment rooms are also spacious and clean. TV on for you to enjoy while you are in the chair. Both the hygienist and dentist were friendly and gave great care. I’ve already scheduled a return visit and would recommend them highly.

Dr. Lawrence and his outstanding staff are so professional, attentive, kind, and friendly. I received such excellent care. Dr. Lawrence and his dental hygienist explained all the procedures step-by-step on what was going to take place during my visit. I felt so relaxed, I knew I was in great hands. Thank you Dr. Lawrence….you are the best

I absolutely loved my experience. So glad I chose them. Very clean. The entire staff is very Polite,very professional, and very friendly. Helped me with everything I needed.

I have been going to this office since October of 2013. They are absolutely wonderful! I always feel very welcomed. They really seam to love what they do because they are very thorough and take their time with you. I never felt any sort of rush being there. Alisha the dental hygienist was very nice and made me feel comfortable and welcome. They are also very accommodating. I had to cancel an appointment and asked Bonnie (office manager) if they could call me if anything opened up on a particular day that I wanted and sure enough later that week they called me back! If you are looking for a new Dentist this place should be on top of your list. Thanks Dr Mauro and Staff! Keep up the great work!!!

Love this place! Just wanted to give an update as I had to go back to get the crack taken care of and I can say it was a very pleasant experience. They TRULY care about their patients and want to make sure you are comfortable in every way. I had my crack taken care of in about an hour and Dr Mauro was incredible. He made sure I know exactly what to expect and also managed to conservatively repair my crack which was a wonderful surprise. I left VERY happy with the service from Dr Mauro and the office staff and look forward to visiting them in the future for my regular cleanings! I will recommend them to everyone I know in need of dental care!

I had an appointment with Dr. C… I forget the name but she was wonderful as well as all the staff. They are all very caring, thorough, and take time to make sure you’re comfortable. I had a great experience every time. Knowing you’re going to a place that is friendly and cares really helps to stop the “jitters” of being at the dentist

If you’re in the Pittsburgh area and ever need any kind of dental work, I highly recommend NHFD. Superb work, staff is extremely knowledgable, clean offices, and affordable on top of it. Thank you guys!

It starts off with a great mission and vision statement from Dr Mauro addressing both his patients and his staff. The culture from the front office to the treatment room captures what it is you desire and hope for with any experience, especially those focused on your health and lifestyle. I’ve been receiving care from NHFD for a couple years now and I’m never disappointed by the care provided and the attention to detail from front office to clinician. Hannah, my hygienist, is very knowledgeable, personable and takes pride in her work. She is a great asset to the team at NHFD! Dr. Mauro and Dr. Rajendram are both passionate and address patient centered concerns and goals as they develop a plan moving forward. If you’re looking for optimal care, a caring team and a culture that has a mission and vision to provide clinical excellence at every touch point, NHFD will not disappoint!

North hills family dental is professional, accommodating, and efficient. The staff is friendly and informative. Dr. Crasto is amazing. I took my mom here for emergency dental work (took two appointments) before her heart surgery and was extremely pleased with service and accommodations. Mom and I left with smiles on our faces. (Mom’s smile was a bit crooked) lol!  Thanks NHFD! We will surely recommend!
