Joseph F Lopinto, DDS

While I am new to Unilocal,I am catching up by looking at what’s out there for places I receive service from. I have been to this office for several visits over the years and have always left with a smile (and it’s been cleaned)! Ronnie the receptionist is always wanting to help and Dr. Lopinto is just as warm as they come and incredibly skilled. Working in midtown, I feel lucky to have them so close. I used to dread going to the dentist but I don’t now!

I had my teeth cleaned, whitened, and an implant (which was quite pricey). All done pain free and almost fun; however, a year later my implant came loose and he charged me $ 369 to retighten it. You decide if you think this is fair treatment. I don’t!!! It took him less then a ½ hour to repair his own work. I don’t think I can continue using him after this. Unfortunate. He is charming, chatty, and loves dogs.

Really like the dentist but the office is chaotic. Twice they’ve canceled my appointments on short notice and both times I had to call repeatedly to reschedule. One time they canceled with less than an hour’s notice and when I complained that the next available appointment was two weeks away they said they would find something sooner and call back. They didn’t. The new appointment was scheduled for what ended up being a month wait.
Dr. LoPinto is a fine dentist and seems like a nice guy but customer service counts too.

This man is my hero; without him, I’d be in dentures. I’m terrified of dentists — I mean, panic attack, hyperventilate, sob uncontrollably in the waiting room terrified. When I moved to NY I’d gone years without a dental check up. But as a newly-​minted lawyer I needed a killer smile, so I decided to bite the bullet and found a dentist who specializes in fearful patients. Dr. Lopinto was a Godsend. At our first appointment he just sat me down and chatted with me about what needed to be done without even opening my mouth. Then he prescribed some anti-​anxiety meds and scheduled my check-​up. Every time I go in he gives me appropriate sedation, keeps me calm, and keeps things light by engaging me in relaxing conversation. His work is literally pain-​free, something I always thought was impossible. And the finished product is stunning — I have a dazzling white smile that gets plenty of compliments and puts my clients at ease. It took more than a few visits to put things right, but he never made me feel guilty or ashamed about the state of my teeth, and he’s always been supportive and kept me fully informed. Considering all the work he did the cost was very reasonable, and he’s always worked closely with my insurance company and set up payment plans when I was financially overwhelmed. Putting my fears aside and trusting Dr. Lopinto is the best move I could have ever made for my health. He’s got my lifelong loyalty and gratitude.

You know how guys (myself included) in the City are paying extra bucks to go to barber shops that offer an authentic shoot-​the-​breeze experience — a throwback to another era when we talked instead of texted? Well, Dr. Lopinto’s office is the dental equivalent without the extra charge.
From reception to hygienist, these folks are truly endearing. It all makes sense when you meet Dr. Lopinto. He’s jovial, witty and kind of like that uncle you have that you really like. Clearly, his spirit pervades the office.
Now on to the molars. Cleaning was painless & man, did my pearlies sparkle after. I wasn’t sure I needed the Zoom that came with my intro package but oddly, I didn’t mind going back. Again, hilarious convos abound. Now I have white, white, white teeth and an unexpected benefit, looking forward to my 6 month checkup.
