Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Extraordinary Service + Awesome Team
This was our very first visit at Tooth Caboose. My son was initially afraid however the entire staff was awesome. They made my 5 year old son feel safe and comfortable. They even explained everything they were doing step by step. At the end of the visit my son said he loved coming to see the Dentist. Thank you Tooth Caboose for allowing us to be apart of your family:)

We love Tooth Caboose
We drive 30 minutes to go to this dentist and it is worth it! My kids love going to the dentist and we even go there for their ortho need too. Every doctor, hygienist, and office staff we have worked with has been wonderful and helpful.

Love this place.
I have been coming here 8 years and counting. They saved my 10 year old's four top front teeth when she was 2 years old. I will never forget that. I am forever grateful that I have them as my children's dentist. They no longer accept new medicaid patients. That is the only negative for me because there are so few great places that care for poor people. We are just supposed to accept whatever overcrowded subpar healthcare we can find. The place I went to originally just wanted to cut out all my toddlers teeth and blame breastfeeding for the tooth decay. This place treated me and my family like we mattered and they offered us alternatives that saved my little girl's smile. I just wish that was the experience everyone was given a chance to have but I am grateful that I have had that regardless. Tooth Caboose has always done good for us.

My kids have seen Dr. Slavkin for years. He is very pleasant and polite. Dr. Slavkin has excellent bedside manners with his patients and family. He makes sure the parents are involved and informed. Dr. Slavkin to the parents in layman's terms about what their child's teeth and condition. The staff is wonderful, too. We will not go anywhere else but here.

I am so happy we chose the Tooth Caboose. My son started here from his first Dental visit and is now finishing up his last few months of braces. He has grown up in their chair. The team here is always so friendly and patient They update you on every step and answer any questions asked with patience and understanding.

Dr. Steve is great, we have been going to him since my daughter was 2-she is not about to be 11. He is great with kids and very informative. Right now we are here seeing Dr. Ruffolo, she has had her first set of braces put on and will get the 2nd set on by the end of this month. He is great with her and her 1,000's of questions...lol...he takes the time to go over everything with her and is very patient. he is great with kids and I would highly recommend both Dr. Steve & Dr. Ruffolo.

So caring, professional and knowledgeable. Everyone here cares about the kids and it shows. Before we discovered them I was hesitant and sometimes had anxiety about taking my kids to the dentist. But they have a calming sense about them that makes it nice to come see them. I would recommend them to anyone who has children that want their kids to be treated with care and patience.

Dr. Steve has been our dentist for 6 years now. He and his staff are very kid-friendly. They are great with both my children, including my son with autism. We have always felt comfortable there. And their billing makes sense!! I can't think of anything negative to say. I highly recommend The Tooth Caboose for both dentistry and orthodontics.
