Our patients leave smiling
I have been a patient of Dr. Sal for over 35 years! He is terrific, always puts me at ease and works with my other physical issues to make me comfortable. All staff from my hygienist (Alisha), to (Laura) dental assistant to the office staff have always been extremely kind and friendly. No matter how far or near I have worked I have always stayed with Dr. Sal and Huntington Family Dental … TH…
Debra B.
Dr Sal is the best! Always a good experience and great results. Dental hygienist Laura was awesome, too.
Sanna-Maria J.
Greeted by Laura in the waiting room. Had Maria for a thorough cleaning. Exam from Dr. Sal. Insurance and fee discussion with Marie and Francesca. From start to finish, the experience was warm and professional. And that is exactly why I have been going to Huntington Family Dental for 40 years.
Paul M.
Fabulous! I was so anxious about my oral surgery yesterday and was very impressed with the chairside manner and skills of Dr. Art Adams! He and his team were angels sent from above! He called me last evening to check on me and again offered his home phone number if I needed him…very impressive! I highly recommend Dr.Adams for any periodontal surgery or care.
Maryjane P.

I love this place. The Doctor’s and staff are great and very friendly and knowledgeable. I’ve only had great experiences. They are simply AMAZING!
Maria R.
The staff made my 7 year old so comfortable during a procedure he was very scared to go through. He was so happy at the end that he asked if he could go back the next day and do it again. Thank you HFDG!
Robert D.
I had a difficult situation where I caused damage to teeth needing root canals. The situation was handled we excellent compassion and professionalism. All the staff at Huntington Family Dental Group are friendly and caring!

Super friendly staff; highly recommended for people with fear of dentists…like me :)
Naeem U.
To much good stuff to say about this group… no longer do I say I hate going to the dentist. Last dental group I went to wanted to was quick to recommend an expensive solution… Huntington Family Dental said I needed to improve my home care (better brush and floss) to get healthy gums before I cold proceed. 100% looking out for my best interest!
Mickey B.
I broke a temporary bridge, and called to get it repaired/replaced. Dr Sal made time for me with 2 hours of my call and spent an hour repairing the bridge. Excellent job as always, and excellent response time. Thanks HFDG.

The HFDG is one of the best things in Huntington. They are compassionate, professional and always on the leading edge of what’s new and what’s best.

Neil A.
We’ve been going to Huntington Family Dental since we moved to Shelton 8 years ago, and we love them so much that we plan to continue using them even though we’re moving to Monroe soon. We’ve never felt that they’ve tried to oversell us on services or tried to get us to do anything we didn’t need. We also started taking our kids to them when they were around 1 (they&#…

Just had an implant done. Dr. Sal is great. Much easier and more pleasant experience then expected

I came for my first visit frantic upon losing my crown. My regular dentist was unavailable so I was referred to Huntington Dental Group. The staff took a stressful situation and brought me ease and peace. They were professional yet warm as if reuniting with friends helping you through a hard time. They were gentle when letting me know the route of action would be extraction and they were efficient…
Brittany M.
After neglecting dental visits for years due to chronic pain from degenerative disc disease and fear I somehow found HFDG and its been the best dental experience of my life for the last 5 years. Top notch dentistry and state of the art equipment at its finest, but the sincerity and care for the patient’s total trust and comfort can’t be taught or bought, it comes from the soul. Dr. Sal…

My family and I have been going to HFD for almost 10 years now and we love it. The staff is super friendly, thanks to my favorite Hygentists, Maria and Alisha. Also, Chantelle who handles the insurance and billing is always on top of the things – she’s the best.

Initial rating sent incomplete and in error, I’m sorry. As far as skill and professionalism goes, EVERYONE there is at the top of their game, and it shows. Between using the the most sophisticated /modern equipment with an enthusiastic approach to your care, impressive and caring are words I think of. Ten stars would be more accurate.

Thanks to Maria–a great hygienist! And my congratulations to the staff for hiring the new Indian physician who examined me, very professional, and friendly. I was even able to share with her about our Indian brothers and sisters and what important roles they played in our lives.
Stephen T.
Very pleasant and professional experience. (My review of a previous visit that was more negative now appears to have been an isolated personnel issue.)
Herb S.
I am a always treated with great respect and care at HFDG . I was made very comfortable. Each step of the procedure was explained to me and Dr Sal has magic hands and he is compassionate to my apprehensions. Together Dr Sal and his assistant are a great team and asset to HFDG

Faith H.
They are so great with both of my girls! I often go for my appointment’s with both kids and the staff is so understanding and helpful with the kids while I get my teeth cleaned. The kids love going and are never afraid of their visits, I attribute this to the fact that everyone there has a great bedside manor. Couldn’t be happier with this practice.

Never had a bad experience in the 20+ years. Friendly and full of smiles. And always helpful.

I cannot say enough good things about the HFDG. Everyone is exceptionally helpful – from the front office staff to the back office (hygienists, etc.) staff. I always appreciate the way in which everyone treats me – and continue to do so. While I know all the hygienists are highly experienced, I am seen by RoDonna Kokenos who is not only a top-notch dental hygienist (I always come away…
Karen G.
Always a great time for me! LOL – I actually look forward to my visits. I try to maintain the same hygienist, as that allows a continuity of care, and I have to say, my hygienist is fantastic!
Michael K.
Have gone to this group for about thirty years. Have gone to others, they do not hold a candle to HFG. Maria the hygienist is the best and should be made a partner. Very perky, very caring and very, very good at what she does.
Richard A.
Seen on time, pleasant, knowledgeable hygienist. Questions asked were answered completely. All staff are courteous and friendly.

Dr. Sal and his team were fantastic dealing with my fear and anxiety. They made my first ( and hopefully only ) root canal as problem free as possible. Being able to watch, and see the TV with headphones was a big help. The energy healing was helpful. Two days later I have very minimal pain and hopefully on the road to mending. I appreciate the bedside manner so much and have already recommended t…

Great dental office. The staff were super friendly. The hygienist was very thorough. The office it self was very clean & well kept. I would definitely recommend this place to friends & family.
Jocelyn B.
Entirely pleasant and painless `removal’ for a crown. I deeply appreciated Dr. Sal’s check-up call around dinner time the same day, to see how I was doing. That was particularly thoughtful, especially coming from their busy office at the end of a long day for the dentists and staff. I always get excellent care from the Huntington Family Dental Group. Sincerely, Diane K R Jowdy
Diane J.
The staff is very friendly. I didn’t wait any longer than 5 minutes before I was taken in the back for my cleaning. Doctors there are great and very thorough, I would recommend them to whoever is looking for a good dentist.
Laura D.
My hygenist today was Angela. She was professional; she listened to my concerns conveyed them to Dr. Greg, and he was able to make recommendations based on his exam and her input. They worked well as a team. The entire office staff is welcoming, concerned, and always courteous and professional.
