This is one of the best dental offices I’ve been to over the past few years. The entire staff is friendly and professional, and all the dental hygienists do an excellent job. Dr. Anna Karidas in particular, is great at what she does!
I have been with Dr. Anna Karidas for 25 years. She has been totally professional and extra courteous throughout the years, She is up to date on the latest technology and strives to be the best in every aspect of her profession. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for the best Stamford has to offer.
Dr Karidas does some very nice work. I can say this as my Father was a Dentist. I have been a patient for 18 years. She goes constantly to all the seminars and uses the most advanced equipment. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a good dental experience and quality work.
Moved away and changed dentists 10 years ago. Haven’t found one I loved as much as Dr. Karidas, so I decided to drive the 40 minutes. She is so caring and accessible. Best cleaning I’ve had in a decade! Plus the office staff is so friendly.
Anna and her staff have been taking care of me for almost 20 years. From fillings to root canals to implants. Simply put the highest level of skills at this office all around. I feel blessed to be under their care.
Dr Karidas is an excellent dentist, runs a very efficient office. You are in and out, not like some places where you are scheduled for a particular time but have to wait 30 minutes plus to actually be seen. She does great work and her team is extremely professional, courteous and friendly.
I love Dr Karidas’s office. It is very clean and run very professionally. Her staff is well trained and friendly. All her equipment is up to date and very modern. She is a pleasure to work with and always has a bright smile!
