I was a patient when I was a kid, and now I take my children to see Dr John. My 4yo had an appt this morning for a cleaning, and I was very impressed with the care and precautions from the staff. They are also kind and welcoming.

Excellent care!! My 7 year old daughter has had negative experiences as two different pediatric dental offices over the past six months. But our experience at Dr. Caravolos was AMAZING!! The entire staff we interacted with: Will at the front desk, Sandra the hygienist, and Dr. John the dentist were all so kind, knowledgable, and professional. We went from a dental health crisis to a manageable plan within one hour of arriving at their office. Thank you to the team at Dr. Caravolos for treating us like human beings before dental patients, and making us feel comfortable and confident in your care.

My son has been a patient for several years and each appointment has been great. The entire staff are very understanding of his anxiety, ease and assure him throughout the cleanings, xrays, etc., and Dr. John has just a great way about him that wins the kids over. I highly recommend the practice!

My recommendation is to look around and find a better alternative. While I found Dr. Caravolas himself to be professional and nice, his front office staff are a serious concern. Looking around online I found other stories similar to mine. Dr. Caravolas admitted this but had only excuses about the economy and finding competent workers as why he cannot address it. At the end of the day, there is no excuse for treating people coming to you for medical help with disrespect and disdain.
