"I have never had a pleasant dental visit prior to going to Long Island Dental Wellness. After really bad experiences with a previous dentist and corporate dental chains I had a lot of anxiety. That quickly faded away. Dr. Dave and his team are truly the dental dynamic duo. I finally feel like I found a place I can trust."
"Dr. Broughton is one of the best dentists I have ever seen. His confident, knowledgeable and clear communication through each step was incredible. His artistry is 10 out of 10. I have two new beautiful crowns that look like my own teeth."
"I had two decayed infected teeth and was in pain. After the procedure there was no pain, no bleeding and no swelling. None. In summary, the work of a master. I have never had an experience with such a skilled dentist."
"Dr. Broughton brought back my smile. Spent years doing everything I could to hide my teeth and for the first time in years I am excited to show it off. I trusted him and could not be happier."
"What an incredible experience from check in to check out. Never thought I would say I am looking forward to seeing the dentist but in this case I definitely am."
