Patient Testimonials
Thanks again for helping me out today. Please
tell Dr. Berger, Cindy and Dr. Spadinger they did an amazing job
with Patrick. He had to have a tooth removed and they handled it
with such compassion and gentleness ( I was the one that actually
needed the TLC).
Anyway, on the way home he said "what happened?" He
didn't even know he had his tooth removed! He's bringing his tooth
to school for show and tell.

My daughter Grace just received a letter
saying she won the shamrock picture contest. She is very excited
and thanks you all for choosing her picture. She chose the Claire's
gift card for her prize.
We are very impressed with everyone we have
met at your office. Just a week ago she had a tooth pulled...I was
more nervous for her than she was. Everyone did a fantastic job.
Thank you again!
-- Beth
Thank you for creating such a safe and fun environment
for John to come and have his teeth cleaned!! He is 7 1/2 years old
and this was his first successful cleaning/exam. I have been on cloud
9 ever since and am so relieved we found the 'right place.' My sister
is a hygienst and told me that I have to keep looking until I find
the office that is going to have the patience and not to settle for
a dentist that 'doesn't get your kid.' I'm so glad I kept looking!
I couldnt stop talking about you guys and gave out
your name to Stamford's Autism Group. I will be including your website
in our "Autism
Night" folder. This will be handed out to about 200 people on
April 28.

Just wanted to pass along my thanks. My wife brought
my 3yr Autistic son in today for his first cleaning and had a great
experience and went very well. The entire process was very nice.
Please pass this along to whomever necessary. We will also be bringing
in our typical daughter soon for her appointment, get ready for a
jabber jaw – she will be 5 in May going on 30. Thank you.

Dear Dr. Spadinger & Team - Your concern and
care in our emergency can not be measured. Thank you very much!
--Isaiah O. & Family
My 4-year-old daughter was very anxious and frightened about her
check-up and your hygienists went out of their way to make her comfortable
and explained everything they were doing. They were friendly and
warm and really made her cleaning a fun experience. [Both my son
and my daughter also loved the toy/reward choices!] The offices were
very well run and organized. I would recommend CPDG to my friends.
--Patti S.
CPDG knows how to treat
kids! My daughter can't wait for her
next appointment.
--Debbie S.
My
son, Zach, was a patient of yours from palate expander through
full braces. He recently went to his high school Prom. When His
date's Mom brought in the Prom pictures to her work, everyone commented
on how beautifully straight Zach's teeth were. They said they'd
never seen teeth so beautiful! I've enclosed one picture so you
can see your handiwork. His cuteness may
be due to mine and my husband's genetics but that smile is all
yours! It's a killer Thanks again,

A few months ago my son had developed cavities, we
were given references for other Pediatric Specialists which were
not successful in caring for our son's issues. We were even concerned
that his future dental visits would be a nightmare because of these
past experiences. Thankfully after speaking with our trusted Pediatrician,
he recommended Dr. Dinkes. It was the greatest advise we had ever
received. Not only did we get in to see Dr. Dinkes in a timely manner,
we were greeted by such a caring staff throughout the whole experience.
They walked us through everything and reassured me that I was not
a horrible mom for all the cavities.
When we saw Dr. Dinkes for the first time he made both my son
and I feel welcome and understood. It was determined that my son needed to
go to Bridgeport Hospital to have his dental work complete. Scary
as that was for me, that too was handled in such a way that we were never in
the dark about anything. The entire staff was caring, compassionate
and concise in every aspect of his care. Dr. Dinkes had taken the worry out
of that situation too by personalizing every step of his care. He even followed
up with a phone call later in the day to check on him.
We as a family decided from the first day we walked in to the
office that we were in the right place. Thank you so very much for taking such
excellent care of our son, and we can not thank you enough for making a potentially
horrible future experience absolutely peaceful. We know that from this moment
on we don't have to worry about my son being fearful of his dental care.

My daughter was the winner of the March Smile
Club-- she choose the Bow Tie Cinemas gift certificate as her prize. Thank
you for all your services, you guys are really wonderful and I couldn't be
more satisfied.
--Diana J
My daughther was so excited to find out she was a winner in your snowman
contest. What a great incentive for her to continue her good dental hygiene.
And thanks to the advice from the hygienist who suggested I floss her teeth
while she is lying down on the bed has worked beautifully. My daughter will
even correct me that I must sit behind her like the hygienist does! For her
prize, she has selected the gift certificate to Bow Tie Cinemas. Thank you
so much.
--Mary F
Wow!!! Your practice never ceases to amaze me!! My son couldn't
be more proud than he is today with being one of the winners in this months
smile club!!! He choose the gift certificate for Waldenbooks as his prize.
Thank-you again for making his first few impressions so remarkable and unbelievably
fantastic!!! Thanks again!!!

I must tell you that Commerce Park Children's Dentistry & Orthodontics represents the most joyous experience we have ever encountered in the field of healthcare! Incredible but true, our daughters, ages 7 and 10, actually look forward to visiting you as a "fun" experience on a Saturday morning. It's simply wonderful from the moment they walk in the door - the stimulating waiting room full of diversionary activities...the cheery greetings from the hygienists and dental assistants to make them comfortable...the VCRs in your operatories for the kids to pop their Pokemon tapes into...the treatment that does not make them feel like they're being "treated"...the personalized photo certificates and "prizes" they get as they leave...the phone call from you that very same evening inquiring how they're doing - it doesn't get any better! Plus, our older daughter's recent first exposure to your resident orthodontist, Dr. Berger, augurs well for a similarly rewarding experience. We tell all our friends about you - keep up the great work!
--Ralph & Suzanne N
I would love to give you comments on your practice. Eddie said he really liked
your giving him a Walkman for giving up the thumb sucking before getting his
braces. Phillip likes the contests you have -- the counting the jellybeans,
the reasons why mom is so special, etc. He also likes the incentive program
you have now in which you get points for on-time checkups, good oral hygiene,
and following instructions. He never forgets to bring his card in to earn points
toward movie or music certificates. Nick likes the clear retainer that nobody
can see. He never forgets to take it to sleepovers because he's not embarrassed
to wear it and it's so comfortable. I like the staff. They are knowledgeable,
friendly -- true professionals. Angie, Cindy, Michele, and Elsie are especially
helpful. Doctor Berger is very approachable. She is direct, sincere, also a
true professional. She responded quickly to the emergency I had with Phillip's
palatal expander. I enjoy hearing about her family and seeing pictures of the
children. I like almost never having to wait for an appointment. There are
those rare occasions, but overall, the boys have never had to wait more than
a few minutes, if that. The boys have had nothing but positive experiences
while going through the "braces process."
-- Mary H
Many thanks for the wonderful work you did with both Kirstin's and Rand's teeth. We are so grateful. As we enjoy the kids' happy smiles we will often think of your work, with thanks!
-- Laurie
Thank you Dr. Berger for taking care of my teeth! -- Aimee

I was very pleased with my daughter Brittany's treatment. Dr. Berger clearly described what she wanted to correct, and did it in the timeline she proposed. Brittany loves her new smile and receives many compliments.
The office staff was very friendly and efficient during appointments. I know our experience will be the same as my son starts his course of treatment."
-- Colleen A
Moments after your thoughtful call inquiring about Shannon's wellbeing, she is devouring a Halloween donut (a favorite of hers - found sparingly in our house) and working on one of her school projects. Andy, both Shannon and the two of us want to thank you. A simple extraction, which for you is probably rather mundane, is a very big deal to an eight year old. Thank you for making it a positive experience. Shannon likes you.... guess that says it all.
-- Wayne, Carol & Shannon
I just wanted to write and tell you how happy I am with your practice. My son Sean was there for a cleaning and later for cavity work. He was a little apprehensive before each appointment, yet everyone at the office made him feel completely comfortable and relaxed. I am very pleased that you have made my son's first dental experience a positive one!!
-- Lisa M
Thank you for the terrific job you did with Jacob. You were gentle and were able to give him a fluoride treatment as well.
We are glad that Jacob doesn't need to take the chloral hydrate. Thanks again for your professional service.
-- Laurel and Harold F
Thank you for making Paul's first trip to the dentist a positive experience. I personally dreaded the thought of taking Paul to a dentist. As a PDD kid, sensory issues are crucial. All I can say is you were wonderful. You listened. You were so interactive and did everything possible to make Paul comfortable. I give children lots of respect and it is nice to see professionals who do the same. Thank you so very much.
-- Julie and Paul H
I would like to thank everyone at Commerce Park Children's Dentistry & Orthodontics for making my children's (Tyler & Tiffany Monteiro) dental experience a pleasant one. I was overwhelmed with the friendliness of the staff and the time they took to help me with my concerns. They made my children feel comfortable and made them feel welcomed and that is just the kind of practice I was looking for. I am sure I have made a wonderful choice by sharing and experiencing the smiles on my children's faces as they experienced their first dental visit. Thank you.
