About Hygienist: Dear Dr. Pallotta, I want to express what a wonderful dental hygienist Nguyet Nguyen is! I had a deep cleaning done yesterday where she administered a Novocain shot and cleaned the area of a back tooth where my gingivitis is acting up. She did an excellent job. She is professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer any questions. In addition, she is very personable and caring. As a result, I look forward to going to the dentist knowing that it will be a positive experience. And Maria, your receptionist is very efficient, a whiz on the computer and is always pleasant to talk to on the phone or in person. All your staff is excellent. Congratulations!
