  • "I have always been uneasy about going to the dentist. Dr. Dines and Dr. Garcia-Rivera put me at ease. There was no long waiting, and Dr. Garcia-Rivera was generous and kind with his time, explaining thoroughly about the procedure to be performed. I suffered no undue pain, and the implant was performed without much discomfort. He also performed extractions which were accomplished before I realized they were completed. I was totally satisfied with his service. ? Dorothy J. Geno, Watertown"
