Fantastic office . New to area when I called the ladies were so so kind and welcoming . I had my first visit yesterday 10/29/2024 . When I arrived to the office I was greeted by the two front office people . They were so kind and welcoming . As I sat there I watched everyone who walked in and walked out was treated so kind with the upmost respect .Also the Doctor himself came out to get me , he stated " he likes to do this to first time patients to build a relationship with us "! How awesome is this ! He was so great with me and helped me with my situation and before I left he let me know he would be in touch with me over my cell to check on me in a day or two to see if my issue has gotten better. I left the office with a smile on my face . This office is hand down a 10/10 . I feel very blessed to be a part of this office .I look forward to seeing them in the future . Hats off to everyone in this office ! Thank you

Fantastic experience at East Lyme Family & Cosmetic Dentistry. The staff was warm and welcoming, and Dr. Yousuf was both friendly, knowledgeable and professional. They took time to explain everything clearly and made me feel completely at ease. They have a yearly plan $225 for 2 cleanings &...

Always such a friendly and pleasant experience. Out of all the dentistry's I've been to over the many years, they are by far the best. So much care and compassion behind their work and love for their customers.

Dr. Palumbo is a wonderful dentist. He is caring and kind and made me feel comfortable and at ease during my visit. His staff are friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend East Lyme Family and Cosmetic Dentistry.

Carrie pleasantly scheduled me as a new patient with Dr. Palumbo, because my prior dentist was out of network with my recent dental insurance policy that consequently provided minimal contribution. I canceled my prior plan, and instead subscribed to East Lyme Family Dentistry's own annual discount plan. For a reasonable annual fee, it fully and immediately covers 2 exams with cleanings and any X-rays, and also provides an immediate 20% discount on any additional needed work such as fillings or crowns. Dr. Palumbo and Brianna immediately took care of a filling with an unusually genial, gentle, and pleasantly unhurried manner. Their calmly relaxed and careful way made me also feel more relaxed throughout it.

I have never worked with a dentist/staff more caring and compassionate. To a person, they are kind, they listen, and they care for the whole person, not just your mouth. More than once they have made room for me in an emergency situation, and I will never forget it. Thank you, thank you for all...
