Everything with Dr Ciuci and his staff is done with care and professionalism. They make you feel like family, a friend. High regard for the practice based on my experience.

January 14, 2026

Dr. Perrone is extremely knowledgeable, explains complex data well, listens attentively & has a wonderful bedside manner. He is very skilled, compassionate & makes uncomfortable/painful procedures much less so.  He diagnosed my oral cancer & is the only one I trust to do potentially risky post-radiation oral surgery.

January 16, 2026

The front desk was so warm and welcoming! The surgical assistant, was so kind and comforting, and helped my daughter feel safe right away. Dr.Ciuci was just as wonderful. Both of them transformed what is typically a frightening experience for a child and parent, into one that felt calm,  reassuring and truly positive!

January 23, 2026

All staff members we’re [sic] very helpful and thorough in answering questions.  The surgical assistant who assisted Dr. Perrone was very efficient and helpful in the pre and post directives.

Dr.  Perrone is a calm, knowledgeable, thorough doctor/surgeon who listens, answers all questions completely.  He covered all issues during the initial consultation visit and relaxed me while doing a biopsy inside the left cheek in my mouth.  I would highly recommend him to others.

Older Reviews & Commentary

2025

It would be hard for you to improve.  Front desk and technicians [sic] were professional, courteous, and accommodating.  Dr. Ciuci explained everything well and is technically excellent.  Office is spotless.  Nothing but praise for everything about the practice.

January 21, 2025

I have a terrible life-long fear of any dental procedures and I must say that Dr. Perrone and entire staff couldn't have been more reassuring, explaining everything he was going to do and what to expect to feel and happen during the extraction procedure.  

It ended up being a much more positive experience than I could ever imagine and wouldn't ever hesitate to recommend them to anyone, especially an anxious person like myself.  His assistant Nickie stayed with me the entire time, making sure I was comfortable, relaxing me and calming my nerves from the time I sat in the chair until she walked me to the desk.  

Many thanks to Dr. Perrone and his entire staff.

Excellent office.  Wonderful Service.  Coming from a family of dentists, this office gets more than a ten!

February 19, 2025

...I have been seen there twice and my children have also had extractions done there.  Every visit was a pleasant and efficient experience.  The entire staff is welcoming and kind.  I would highly recommend this practice to anyone in need of oral surgery services.

I'm very happy with everyone I'm dealing with at this location and very grateful for it because it's hard to find nowadays.

I don't think you can get any better than you are.  I really like the service I got.  I don't particularly want to come back, but I will highly recommend you to anybody who is having a problem.

March 20, 2025

Front desk staff were wonderful!  I appreciated Dr. Ciuci's professionalism and reassurance and his assistant was also supportive.  Thank you to his assistant for the written and verbal instructions, and the follow-up call also!  Excellent all around!

May 25, 2025

A very professional environment.  From the moment I walked in the door to the completion of my procedure, I was always aware of what the next steps would be and how I would be impacted.  What more could I ask for?  Thank you.

March 26, 2025

Your practice is outstanding!  Once I entered the office, I was greeted by a very lovely & quite personable receptionist.  The medical assistant who brought me back to the exam room was also very nice and made me feel comfortable and at ease.  When I met Dr. Perrone, my fears were reduced and I had an overall feeling that he was going to take very good care of me.  My experience with Dr. Perrone was amazing.  He is completely professional, absolutely brillant and did an excellent job on the extraction and implant placement.  As I told my husband, Dr. Perrone has gifted hands and I'm so very grateful to be under his care.  Thank you, everyone at M&D Oral Surgeons!

March 27, 2025

Dr. Perrone was amazing due to the fact I had received radiation treatment to my neck and his concern for the extration being complicated.  The staff went out of their way to check with Smilow and confirm that the procedure could be done safely.

April 1, 2025

Everything was done professionally and the staff/Dr. were very excellent explaining the process. The procedure was done accordingly to what the Dr. had explained.  The service that was provided was met to the highest standards!!! Thank you, kind regards.

May 7, 2025

As much as I dreaded having this tooth removed, it was a smooth and pleasant experience.  Doctor and staff were caring and explained everything. 

May 13, 2025

You have a great thing going in this office.  I felt like I have been going there for years.  Your staff is phenomenal and I really hope that you appreciate them because they are definitely an asset to your business.  I was very nervous having to undergo an extraction while fighting Stage 4 Cancer and they made me feel at ease.  I felt like I was part of their family.  All I can say is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

May 14, 2025

From being nervous to extremely welcomed, my nerves were calmed down, and I felt safe.  Even my brother, who was with me, appreciated all the love and attention not only given to me but to him as well.  Thank you all once again.

May 19, 2025

All I have to say - M&D is very professional and has a wonderful staff.  Highly recommend.

May 29, 2025

Accommodating, very kind staff.  Loved my experience there as I have severe anxiety when it comes to dentists.  I appreciate the time they took to listen and helped put me at ease.  Thank you to the staff and doctor.

June 30, 2025

Upon my first consultation on 8/25/25, Dr Ciuci and his assistant Christa quickly put to rest my fears and concern to what I believed would be a very difficult procedure for my particular extremely complicated if not impossible wisdom tooth extraction and planned two bone grafts. My fears and worry had completely dissipated upon leaving the office that first day.
 
I had that extraction and two bone grafts on Thursday, 9/4/25. I was incredibly impressed with the surgical procedure provided. Dr. Ciuci and his highly professional assistant Jessica worked together as one, the left arm knowing exactly what the right arm needed without so much as a word necessary between them. It was like a beautifully choreographed dance between the two. Pain and discomfort were practically nonexistent.
 
And by the following day, with the only exception being just a VERY slight puffiness, there was no pain, bleeding or discomfort.
 
I would HIGHLY recommend Dr Ciuci and M & D Oral Surgeons and staff to anyone in need of their excellent, professional services. My very sincere thanks to you for your greatly appreciated attention to my difficult oral surgical need.
 
Sincerely, Dave Geci

This was my first visit. The in-take staff were efficient, knowledgeable, personable and professional.  I could not ask for anything more than this. I am not a good dental patient. Everyone eased my dental fears. I am extremely grateful I chose this dental surgeon’s office.

The office does a wonderful job! Dr Ciuci was welcoming and warm. Very thorough and informative. He really made me feel at ease. The entire experience was great!

November 25, 2025

We had a wonderful experience. I really appreciated how well everything was explained to my 12 year old who was the one getting the procedure. Dr. Perrone spoke directly to him explaining every step of the procedure.  Everyone at the office was very friendly, quick and efficient.

December 8, 2025

None, it was the most comfortable consultation I've ever had. Dr Ciuci explained options fully in terms that I could understand. He was fantastic.

This was my first experience with M&D, and believe me, it was fantastic.  Starting with the Milford facility, which is brand new and very inviting, clean, bright and efficient.  Second, the staff is extremely friendly and supportive as well as experienced in their roles.  Finally, Dr. Ciuci is totally professional but very eager to explain and answer all questions related to my procedure.

~Milford Patient, January 4, 2024

We thank Dr. Perrone and his team for making this unpleasant procedure (wisdom teeth) a breeze.  We appreciate you very much.  It was an easy process and we felt comfortable at your Milford office.  Dr. Perrone did an excellent job with both of my kids!  Thank you!

~Monika D., Milford Patients' Mom, January 12, 2024

I am extremely happy with my experience at your facility.  I am grateful {for} how painlessly and smooth the procedure went.  Continue doing what you are doing, making patients feel comfortable and confident that they are at a place where their needs will be taken care of in a professional setting.  Keep up the good work.

~Milford Patient, April 10, 2024

I am a high anxiety patient when it comes to dental work.  Dr. Ciuci and his assistant made me very comfortable and eased my mind throughout the extraction procedure.  The procedure was A LOT shorter than I had expected and I was properly numbed, so I felt nothing!  I left very happy with the visit overall.  I received a call the next day to check in and make sure I was feeeling okay and to ask any questions I may have forgotten about while at the visit.  From the front desk to the oral surgeon and everyone in-between, I am super impressed.

~Derby Patient, April 29, 2024

Extremely professional establishment with down-to-earth staff who know the most about their speciality.  I felt at home during my visit.

~Milford Patient, July 3, 2024

Everyone is kind and compassionate.  As someone with a disability and anxiety, they made my visit so pleasant and comfortable.  I'm so happy my dentist referred me!

~Milford Patient, July 15, 2024

This Practice is an advanced healthcare facility.  Dr. Ciuci is one of the finest physicians I have encountered in the last 45 years.  I say this as a patient as well as an active physician, caring for patients.  The combination of his personality, technical skills, and focus are outstanding.  Furthermore, his staff strive to accommodate patients' needs and has the appropriate level of professionalism and courtesy.  This occurs from the front desk to the tactical person that does the initial evaluations and post-op consult.  I am fortunate to have found Dr. Ciuci and those who work with him.

~Milford Patient, August 14, 2024

The best treatment...everyone was beyond outstanding!  Efficient and extremely kind, Dr. Perrone explained the procedure to the utmost!  I will be recommending this practice to all.  Thank you so very much!

~Pat S., Derby Patient, September 27, 2024

The service I received from the moment I called {and} was informed of the process for scheduling, to the smiling, welcoming front desk, brought back by the assistant to the Dr. - everyone making it a calming, welcoming experience.  I couldn't ask for anything more except to also be general dentistry, I would be all set!  Thank you for taking such great care of your patients!

~Milford Patient, October 7, 2024

The nurses were excellent and helped me calm down.  Dr. Perrone was on top of his game.   He listened to me and addressed my concerns and assured me that the molar extraction would be pain-free and he would take his time. The team was amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.  Highly recommend to anyone.

~Milford Patient, October 7, 2024

The whole staff was so welcoming and very kind to my family. You truly feel the love they have for each of their patients. Awesome job.  I absolutely appreciate and love how they explained everything they were going to do each step not just to me but to my daughter. Amazing 😍.

~Derby Patient, 6/9/2023

Everyone at M&D was very professional and kind.  Our daughter had to have two extractions and she was very anxious about the process.  Dr. Ciuci and staff explained everything very clearly and put us at ease.  They went out of their way to make our daughter comfortable during the procedure.  They played her favorite music and made sure I was informed every step of the way.  I highly recommend Dr. Ciuci and his staff!

~  Milford Patient's Mom, June 19, 2023

They office staff was very friendly and nice and professional.  The techs and staff that assisted in my care were really nice, made me very comfortable and explained everything really well.  Dr. Perrone made it as good as it could be with the amount of pain I was in;  his consideration for my well being and health (I have autoimmune diseases and on many meds) he was very concerned for my pain level and making sure we did the best for my health and situation.  It was really a great experience!

~Derby Patient, June 19, 2023

Everyone was wonderful with my son.  They put us both at ease by explaining everything to us.  Dr. Ciuci was gentle and kind.  His entire team was polite and caring.  Loved that they called us the next day to see how my son was doing after his extractions.  Highly recommend Dr. Ciuci and his team!

~Derby Patient's Mom, June 20, 2023

No complaints.  Staff was great.  Dr. Perrone was fantastic.  Knew how to speak and calm me down.  Didn't feel anything until novocaine wore off.  Would recommend Dr. Perrone to anyone.

~Milford Patient, June 27, 2023

This is one of the best practices I have dealt with.  The staff is genuinely concerned and kind.  All details are discussed thoroughly and Dr. Ciuci's oral surgery skills are next level!  He is informative and kind.  I highly recommend this practice.

~Derby Patient, August 21, 2023

The service was perfect!  Very professional, kind, very empathetic.  Both doctor & technicians explained everything in detail.  Perfecto!  Thank you!

~Derby Patient,  September 15, 2023

I have no suggestions at all except to do everything exactly how you did for me during my appointment.  The doctor's assistant, Nikky, was so attentive to my every need.  She even patted my arm during the extraction and kept reminding me to breathe in a very calm voice.

The doctor explained everything wonderfully.  When he started to extract my tooth, he explained what he was doing every step.  It was extremely quick and without any discomfort at all.

The most amazing aspect of this was that there was no pain in the following hours and days after the procedure.  How is that possible? I am assuming it is the exceptional knowledge and ability of the doctor.  I kept waiting for pain, and it never came.  I didn't need any pain medication at all.  I kept running my tongue around my mouth to ensure that a tooth was in fact extracted - yes, it was!  No pain - wonderful service - I would recommend this office to anyone who wants exceptional work done.

Thank you so much.

~Milford Patient, October 31, 2023

Dr. C is great.  He was patient with our son and his upcoming surgery.  We were concerned.  He did not rush us.  He was confident and professional.  He left us feeling confident as our oral surgeon for our son.  The office is new and spacious.  The nurse was also friendly and treated Andrew very nicely.  The computer showed exactly what our son has and the doctor explained everything.

~Milford Patient's Mother, November 6, 2023

I can't thank them enough, especially Dr. Perrone for the care and the kindness I received.  Not only an amazing doctor but an extraordinary human being.  I had the most incredible experience, from the start to the end, everything was explained to me, step by step.  Highly recommended.  Thank you,

~ Chris, Milford Patient, December 7, 2023

When I think of the very long and difficult journey I have been on, I have tears in my eyes when I think about all of you and your wonderful care, kindness, empathy and profound expertise you have shown to me.  From the minute I walked through the door on that first day for a consult, to the day of my procedure and the excellent follow-up care you have done, I only wish everyone who might need specialized dental care could go to you. Dr. Ciuci, Erica, Liz, Veronica, Kelly - and everyone I encountered there: I cannot thank you enough for helping me during this hard time. Your practice should be a model for the entire industry. Thank you so much!

~Milford Patient, 12/9/2022

Very professional, efficient and compassionate staff. Excellent care.

~Milford Patient, 12/6/2022

No changes need! Dr. Ciuci is great and so is the rest of the staff as far as making you feel comfortable and welcomed. I remember having a bad experience when I was younger for an extraction but this made me feel like if I need to do it again (hopefully not) I’d definitely come here to Dr. Ciuci and his staff!

~Milford Patient, 11/26/2022

I had a difficult extraction.  Doctor and assistant were terrific and patient.

~Milford Patient, 12/13/2022

No suggestions, just wanted to reiterate how lovely all the office staff were! The ladies at the front desk were very kind and the woman who did my x rays and initial consultation made me feel really comfortable! Dr Perrone was also good and very patient with my questions.

~Milford Patient, 12/14/2022

Honestly, don’t change anything. Just keep doing what you are doing. I was happy and comfortable.
