I had to have a molar extracted and I was very nervous. Dr. DeSantis and his staff made me feel comfortable and at ease. He made sure I didn't experience any pain during the procedure. Excellent care and I definitely recommend him.

This dentist/oral surgeon is good--really good. I went in expecting a consultation and he said, "I can do this in two minutes. If you've got the time we can do it now." Painless. Friendly and a great sense of humor. If I have other work done like he did for me I'd go back in a heartbeat.

I met Dr. Desantis at the "FREE Dental Day" where local dentists volunteered their skills and served 205 of us "poor people" GIVING to the public $22,500 worth of services. Angels, indeed!Then, because of a blood question, Dr. Desantis had me come AGAIN (free) to his office to finish the job that couldn't be done initially! Then, lacking a ride back to Oakdale Mall and he, knowing I was crippled, had HIS asst. drive HIS beautiful CAMERO and me back so I could catch the bus! IS THERE ANY LIKE HIM??
