Dr. Dr. Teodoro has hands of gold! He recently extracted 2 teeth, one was a difficult crowned tooth which needed stitches. The patient was my Son Frank( who is handicap in wheelchair) Dr. Teodoro told Frank he was going to have pain. Dr. gave him 2 prescriptions one Antibiotic the other Ibuprofen. Frank experienced no pain! Dr. Teodoro has "magic instruments. This is the second time Frank was seen by Dr.T. he extracted 3 teeth last year. We were told by our Dentist to see an oral Surgeon, however I don't trust anyone but Dr. Teodoro, I know for a fact he extracted 4 teeth and whole mouth laser for me Elizabeth, I didn't have an ounce of pain! He is the Best Dr. ever.Posted on Google

With this visit, I only dealt with staff, and they are truly wonderful. Very knowledgeable, very professional and very friendly. I felt comfortable at all times, very reassuring. On my second visit I dealt with both the Dentist and his assistant. both are very friendly and very professional. I was always told what was going happen and what I needed to do. What I would expect from a good Medical practice, and reassurance that I was in safe, caring hands. For the next visit, their friendly and efficient staff once again gave another flawless, painless procedure, fully explained. I never felt any more comfortable. For this visit I was again The recipient of friendly professionalism, always nice. Business talk and small talk with all the staff. The work to be done, a simple x-ray, was performed in a friendly manner that kept me abreast of what to expect. Many of us are not fond of dental work, but with the staff of Bonita Periodontics, I'm happy. For the next and last (hopefully) visit, this is such a patient-friendly office to deal with. I'm not happy with why I had to go, but I am truly happy that I did! The procedure was fully explained to me, all questions answered and feeling comfortable. I heartily recommend this office.Posted on Google

Dr. Teodoro and his team were amazing! My 14 year old son needed a procedure done and they were very kind and thorough explaining the procedure. Dr. Teodoro even met us at his office late at night the day after when there was a small situation after surgery. As a mom that was so reassuring and I was so grateful for his genuine care. To add this is my second son to see him. Highly recommend Dr. Teodoro!Posted on Google
