Poor business practices in not properly checking w/insurance co. prior to procedure sticking it to patient to have to unnecessarily pay out of pocket for charges otherwise covered by insurance if only rules (Waiting before scheduling next visit etc.) were followed. This defeats the whole purpose of having insurance! Why would one pay to have coverage, go to a participating Dr. to just get screwed and pay out of pocket? Questionable procedure and need for it as well. NEVER will EVER set foot in this office again!

WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE! Had a complete frontal bridge totally remade to fit my smile correctly. Excellent temp that looks like the finished product. Can't wait to get the finished product. I'll definitely follow up with another post when it's completed. So far, UNSURPASSED EXCELLENCE... VERY SATISFIED.

I have had several filings and crowns down over the past 5 years- Dr Altomare is amazing, he made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. He and his staff are very friendly and professional. His office is beautiful and very clean. I recommend him to all of my friends and clients. My family and I have been going to him for over 10 years now.

Would not recommend this guy to anyone. He has the assistants do everything and spends a fraction of a second with the patient. I spent $900 having a crown put in last summer and have been in pain everyday since. I went back to him 7 times and had 3 other dentist give me an opinion. All dentist said crown is too large and has open margins. He said "it is fine" and sent me on my way each time. Now it has been a year and I am still in pain, headaches because of it and I'm out $900.

This dentist made a crown for one of my teeth but didn't prep it properly. Over time (about 2 1/2 yrs) there was a spot on the Xrays which looked like decay. He said @ every exam not to worry that it was nothing. His assoc. was filling in for him on one of my appts. & said that the crown was shoddy & needed to be replaced. She said the dentist who did the procedure did a very poor job. Soon thereafter I was getting killer migraine headaches & ended up in the emergency room for observation. I had such bad vertigo my doctor wanted to run tests for a possible stroke. In the final analysis, because of the poor workmanship of the crown & the on-going decay, there was toxic bacteria entering my sinus canal & causing my headaches & nausea. Dr. Altomare's failure to address this issue & nip it in the bud by removing the bad crown & decay earlier led to a hospital stay which cost me $3000 out of pocket expenses & lost work time. Thanks to my new dentist, who treated me for a year for tooth restoration & making a new crown, the tooth was saved. However I had to pay for a root canal ($800) & new crown ($700) to fix the problem tooth. This doesn't include the numerous office visits (20) to save the tooth. My total expenses were over $5000.

Horrible, ruined my teeth. I went to him to fix one tooth, they talked me into fixing three teeth. Now three teeth are hurting, one of them is broken. one neiboring tooth is chiped, I guess he managed to drill it while he was fixing the one next to it.
