I have never been treated by any business the way I was treated today by this doctors employees. Don't they realize this is a small town and everybody knows everybody?? They should be ashamed. I'll be sure to tell my friends and family to stay away! ...read more

I have been going to Dr. Cavigli since I was a little kid, as have all the members of my family. My mom, grandma, cousins, aunts and uncles have all been loyal clients of Dr. Cavigli's since he started his business.\t\n\t\nDr. Cavigli and his staff are committed to the finest dentistry as well as great customer service. Example: At 10 years old, I knocked my two front teeth out in an accident at approximately 6pm, 20 minutes away from Dr. Cavigli's office. He waited and fixed my teeth despite the fact that he was headed out the door as we called in. In the following months and years he then met with my orthodontist and oral surgeons to fix my situation permanently. Today, people would never know that I knocked out my permanent teeth!\t\n\t\nHe is hands-down the greatest dentist West of the Mississippi (and probably even East of it, but I refuse to try anywhere else!) In college, and after, I purposely planned my trips home around my dentist appointments so I would never have to switch! I now live in Washington, DC and Dr. Cavigli still manages to squeeze me in for cleanings, etc. on my short, often hurried, trips home.\t\n\t\nBottom line: You would be crazy to go anywhere else! ...read more

1 FIRST DO NO HARM MY FATHER WAS A DENTIST IN CALIFORNIA. I KNOW WHAT PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS ARE.I KNOW WHAT MINIMUM STANDARDS OF CARE ARE. NOT EVEN THE BAREST MINIMUM STANDARDS OF CARE WERE GIVEN TO ME AS A PATIENT: LLOYD MARCUM PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED ME IN HIS OFFICE; HIS ACTIONS AND THOSE OF HIS STAFF WERE, AT BEST, MEAN AND SADISTIC. THE EXPERIENCE WAS LITERALLY HAVING A ROOT CANAL WITH NO ANESTHESIA. NOT EVEN A TOPICAL. IT FELT LIKE THE SYRINGE HAD SALINE IN IT. THE PAIN WAS EXCRUCIATING THROUGHOUT THE PROCEDURE. HIS BRUTALITY CAUSED A LATERAL BREAK IN THE TOOTH, WHICH RESULTED IN LOSING THE TOOTH. ANOTHER DENTIST QUICKLY PICKED UP THE LATERAL BREAK AND HAS TESTIFIED THAT LATERAL BREAKS ONLY HAPPEN WHEN GREAT FORCE IS APPLIED. RESEARCH BACKS THIS UP. HE WAS ANGRY, VERY ANGRY, AND I WAS THE TARGET OF HIS ANGER EVERY TIME HE WOULD TAKE THE HEEL OF HIS HAND TO JAM THE SPLINT BACK INTO MY MOUTH WHICH CAUSED INCREASED PAIN. I COULDN'T HELP BUT CRY. I WAS BEING TORTURED. WHEN I DID, HE TO ...read more

Just far enough, not wanting anyone to know in the first place, you are wearing dentures. A proper fit is the best solution. In a pinch, however, denture adhesive can help prevent an... ...read more
