Most people dread going to the dentist, I certainly did, until I went to Dr Kest. Dr Kest has been competent and personable from day one. I look forward to going ever since I first started. Dr Kest has assembled a very talented, caring, dedicated team. Dr Tomasi is accomplished and attentive. Sandy is an excellent and patient hygienist. The office staff are courteous and efficient. In dentistry, Dr Kest, Dr Tomasi and team are the best of the best. Thank you.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Kest and Dr. Tomasi for well over 30 years. The staff is friendly and the office is very nice and very clean. I’ve had lots of dental work there including crowns, veneers, and Invisalign. Dr. Tomasi is more recent in the office and she is extremely knowledgeable, caring , and gentle. I trust her judgment and care.

I’ve been a patient for more years than I can count! Always a pleasure coming to Dr.Kests office, from his office receptionists to dental hygienists… always kind and polite and they take the best care of you! Dr.Tomasi was our saving grace/angel who didn’t like the way my daughters canker sore looked and sent her to get another look… it was biopsies, and we found she had tongue cancer! Non smoker, and only 25 years old! They caught it quick enough where she is in remission and checked every 6 months by her surgeon! Amazing! I recommend Dr.Kest and Dr.Tomasi to everyone! 5 plus stars!

The entire operation is top notch with extremely capable, seasoned and friendly staff. Am fanatical with my teeth and know am in the best hands with this group and trust them unconditionally. Highly encourage others to become patients, you won’t regret it!
