De Maso Alan J, DMD

For the first 20 years of my life I saw Dr DeMaso every six months. Assuming the office hasn’t changed in the past few years, «highly recommended» is an understatement. When I saw Dr Jack Share in Boston today I was reminded of my experience with Alan DeMaso. Initially Alan shared the office with his father Paul DeMaso, but a few years ago Paul retired and Alan hired a hygienist. He had always done my cleanings and continued to do so because we were longtime patients. The administrative end of the office is run by his wife Ann, who is also excellent. They live in the same building and were always great about responding to emergencies (squeezing me in almost immediately, or referring me to other dentists if after hours).
Alan is extremely competent and takes the time to get to know all of his patients and address their concerns. There was always a TV with headphones, movies and video games in the exam room and waiting room. He works well with children, mostly through his outgoing and entertaining personality.
Because of Alan DeMaso, going to the dentist was never stressful or painful for me. The worst part was that I didn’t get to go more often!
I never had a single cavity until I went two years without a cleaning (which was after I had left NYC and kept trying to schedule a dentist visit on my trip back, because I didn’t want to go anywhere else). Several members of family had more serious dental work done by Alan, and it was always top-​notch.
If I ever move back to NYC, I would make the trip to Staten Island without hesitation to see Alan DeMaso.
