"The entire care team at Northeast Periodontal were nothing short of amazing. From consultation to the end result, I always felt that Dr. Rafla and the entire team was there to make me feel comfortable, ensured that all my questions were answered, and they had my best interest in mind. I hope I don’t have to go there again, but if a friend needed their services, I would absolutely recommend them to the practice."

"I originally came to Dr Rafla in 2021 for an implant. I live in CT and I wasn't able to get an appointment in my area. Dr Rafla was recommended so I called. I got an appointment with a couple days. The implant was perfect and Dr Rafla is amazing. I have a dentist in Connecticut but I continue to see Dr. Rafla every six months for a cleaning and check up. The hygienists do an amazing job. My cleanings at Dr Rafla's office just feel cleaner than my regular dentist. I end up paying out of pocket, but it's worth it for the cleaning and the check up."
