My wife and I been going to DeFabio Dental Design for about 25 years and it is a really great place. The professionalism and friendliness of the whole team is outstanding. Every visit is like visiting friends. We couldn't be happier with the results. Everyone from the dentists to the staff are very friendly and they are doing such a great job! I highly recommend DeFabio Dental Design if you're looking for a dentist's office in the Central NJ area.

I can't say enough great things about this practice. My entire family has been using their services since 1996 when I moved to Colts Neck. We moved 1 hour away 8 years ago and we still make the drive because no other practice comes close. I have yet to see anyone on this staff leave over the years. It's like a family, clearly they are as loyal to the practice as my family is. To me this speaks volumes.

Dr. DeFabio is the best Colts Neck dentist. My whole family comes here. He takes time and explains everything to me. I can be a nervous patient but treatments are always painless and the staff is so patient and kind. His daughter Dr. Erica is an amazing dentist as well. I love that it's been the same staff for the 6 years I've been coming here.

From the minute you walk into Dr. DeFabio's office you are greeted by an incredible receptionist. She always makes you feel like you are the most special patient. Then you get to meet Sonata - Love Her! When you are finished you get to see Dr. Defabio - He always spends a few minutes making you feel special. Dr. Fabio's office is ALWAYS on time - Love this because some doctors make you wait forever - I guess some feel our time is not valuable. I have been going to Dr. Defabio for probably 30 years - My family and I speak for everyone would not go to anyone else.
