Crescent Prosthodontics: Nicholas Ruggiero, DMD
Most patients praise Dr. Ruggiero's expertise in full mouth reconstruction and dentures, along with the staff's warmth and willingness to fit urgent appointments. However, two one-star reviews detail serious complications: an infected implant that went undiagnosed despite patient reports, requiring intervention from another surgeon, and bulky bridges requiring multiple readjustments with minimal chair time and a perceived lack of flexibility when a patient missed an appointment. Strengths include same-day urgent scheduling, detailed pre-procedure explanations, and staff who treat patients like family. The practice draws patients from over 80 miles away and serves VA referrals. Weaknesses centre on post-procedure follow-up responsiveness when problems arise and receptionist tone during missed appointments. The clinic keeps meticulous records but complications in complex implant cases warrant careful screening.
