Hi guys, searched through all the dentist threads and didn't find any reference to Dr. Giordano (2530 S Broad). Looking for a new dentist and this one is right up the street from me. Has anyone here used this dentist? I have Aetna if that helps if anyone wants to make other recommendations. Thanks in advance.

There's a Dr. Ruggerio in that vicinity. I haven't been to him, though. I used to go to his father.

If you're willing to go to Center City, I'd recommend Dr. Richard Misher. 17th and Locust. He's terrific. I think he accepts Aetna, too.

BTW, you shocked me for a second when you listed Dr. Giordano on Broad Street. That was the pediatrician I used to go to (30 years ago!) and he couldn't possibly still be alive, much less practicing!

I highly recommend Dr. Frank Matarazzo. He's at 2416 S. Broad St. I've been going to him for 25 years. He is top notch and never hurts.
215 389-3161

I remember Dr Giordano, the pediatrician. He was a great, down to earth, but he passed away many years ago.

Went to him.
Not bad.
Not great either.
I found better.
Dr. Mestichelli also on Broad near Morris.

I highly recommend Dr Steven Shipon on South Broad Street. I have been going there since January of 2000. http://www.cosmetic-dentist-philadel...ipon-staff.htm

I went to see Dr Giordano first back in January of 2000 and he said I had 3 cavities. I don’t know what he saw because it’s been 8 years and no cavities were found and none have developed.

Looks like I'll be dealing with Dr. Shipon. He doesn't take my insurance anymore, but my crappy insurance doesn't cover what I need to get fixed anyway (I have a chipped tooth I need to get bonded) and I've heard good things from others about this dentist as well. alfa3v - you've been going to him for a while, have you ever had any bonding work done by this doc? Is it really pricy?

I am not exactly sure if i had bonding work, but i had chipped lowwer front teeth. Dr Shipon did a procedure where he applied a cement like substance to the broken area and re-shaped the teeth. My insurance covered a part of the cost but i had to pay a few hundred out of pocket. Let him know about your insurance situation. He was very generous with me when i was not covered for a procedure.

Hope that helps.
