John Sartorio, DMD

This is my first visit to the dentist in the Pittsburgh area. After an extensive online search I decided to give Dr. John Sartorio a try. Making an appointment was easy and I could schedule within a week (for a new patient, which I find to be great).
I arrived at the dentist a few minutes early and filled up necessary paperwork. The receptionist was more than helpful and polite. The waiting room is clean and spacious. As I was guided to my «patient chair», I looked around and it seemed that many patients can be accommodated for simultaneous check ups (though I believe there is only one dentist here).
Dr. Sartorio was thorough and spent about 40 minutes checking my teeth (regular check up), taking X-​rays and chatting about random stuff. In no way I felt rushed. He does have good «bedside manners».
The place is well laid out, equipment seems up to date (X-​ray machine hidden in a cabinet when not needed) and sufficient hygiene is maintained (gloves etc).
I will be returning for a cavity filling and cleaning soon. The only minus is that the dental hygienist is overbooked (more than the dentist). Quite the contrary to what I have been used to.
Note: They do accept a lot of insurances and will file a claim for you even if they are out of network — this makes your life much easier.

Dr John is always pleasant and I never mind my trips to the dentist to see him. The staff was friendly and I even got to watch TV while I was being treated. I have no complaints!
