Dr. Cicero and staff are all friendly and caring. They take the necessary time to explain everything and offer suggestions to address each patient's particular needs. I can honestly say my visits to this office are the best experiences I've had with a dentist, anywhere -- I recommend Desert Summit Dentistry completely and without reservation.

5
Excellent care!!! Very satisfied!
5
This is a great dental practice in my view. The first thing you notice is that the waiting room is comforting and not just the standard white walls and bright light bulbs. Staff is top notch, relaxing and professional. They explain everything and take their time with their patients/customers.
5
I highly recommend Desert Summit Dentistry after having 2 appointments. They are right on time and everyone is very friendly. My hygienist is the best I've had in sixty years of going to a dentist. She explains everything she is doing, has a light touch and both appointments have been pain free. She works efficiently and is finished in about 35-40 minutes. Very professional and courteous, this is a first class practice.
5
Very friendly and professional. I’ll always miss doug and cindy but they certainly found the right people to take over the family practice..Thanks to all.. 🙏💙🙏

Best cleaning I’ve ever had!! Dr Cicero great. Didn’t try to get me to do
5
April did a fantastic job of cleaning my teeth!
5
Thank you to Dr. Ryan, Michelle and Anita for being so compassionate, conscientious and knowledgeable. Dr. Ryan and Michelle work so well together that I felt I was in good hands. Anita understands the insurance ins and outs and explains it effortlessly! Thank you for your family atmosphere! I have already added a Review to Yelp.
5
Dr Cicero is amazing. He is kind and very talented. He fixed my porcelain veneer, put a crown on one of my molars and answered all of my questions with patience and kindness. I am 62 and April is, by far, the best dental hygienist I have ever had. I have very sensitive teeth and she handled my cleaning perfectly. I highly recommend this practice for all of your dental needs.💕

I recently visited Desert Summit Dentistry as a new patient after my dental insurance changed to a provider my old dentist didn’t accept. Upon reviewing my options, I chose Desert Summit for their friendly service, great communication & active listening. All staff members, (receptionist, hygienist & doctor,) addressed all my needs that left me with a wonderful experience. I feel fortunate to have found Dr Ryan Cicero’s practice and wholeheartedly trust his & his staff’s expertise for my ongoing dental health.

Very friendly hygienist and informative on how to improve daily tooth care.

What a great practice going on at Desert Summit Denistry. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I had an emergency and they got me in early morning the next day and set me up with getting an emergency root canal the same day! Moved here from Oregon 3 years ago and didn’t have a dentist and was still trying to make trips back to Oregon for my dentist needs. I can now tell you I will be making Desert Summit Dentistry in charge of my dental needs!
5
Always a great experience! Attentive staff and painless procedure!
5
Loved everyone and the environment they created, very friendly and inviting. I felt comfortable and they explained everything in detail to me. 10/10 would recommend everyone to them!
5
Awesome!

Great appointment as always, the staff are all awesome!
5
My dental hygienist (I think her name was Jessie?) was very personable and professional. She was extremely thorough in her technique and also very knowledgeable. She explained many things to me, including the difference between tarter and plaque, and how fillings can have leakage, and why a filling might need a crown instead of being replaced. She was also flexible in her handling of my teeth. For example, the electronic descaler was painful on my sensitive teeth, so she did it by hand/tool instead. She simultaneously did an excellent job noting any painful areas for the dentist to see. Dr. Cicero was great too. I have awful teeth (parents didn’t enforce teeth brushing as kids) and feel self conscious about them too, but he was very nonjudgmental. I appreciate that he came up with a treatment plan that will be better in the long run to save two of my teeth. Anita is always fabulous. She always has everything ready to go because she is so organized. My husband and I love goi

I would give it 10 stars if it had them. This Dentists office is amazing. When you walk through the front door it’s like visiting family. They are so nice. There aren’t to many places out there that you are treated so nice anymore. They take time with you. If you have questions they will answer them. I don’t like going to the dentist, but going here makes me feel more comfortable. Thank you Doctor Cicero and staff. You are AMAZING!!!

Desert Summit Dentistry is wonderful! I have been going to this practice for 20+ years. With Dr Ryan and his staff, they have picked up right where Doug and Cindy left off. Easy transition and the quality of care is just as good as the previous staff. Very thorough check ups and cleanings. Every staff member on the team is wonderful. I will continue to see them for my dental needs.

Great hygienist and Dentist!! Best in Phoenix!
5
April the hygienist is my new best friend. I’m 61 and have always had extremely sensitive teeth. I dreaded every six month cleaning. I told her about it and she put a topical numbing solution on my gums and…voila! No pain whatsoever. She’s the absolute best!! All of the staff are amazing and kind. Dr Ryan is great. He doesn’t push you into any procedure that isn’t absolutely essential. He gives suggestions as to what needs to be done at some time ie, crowns, but there is no pressure. Make an appointment there today!💕💕

Desert Summit is always taking the best care of my family. My son had his first appointment yesterday & I’m so excited to have him grow up with this Dentist office the same I did. Thank you all for all you do!
5
Long-time patient of Desert Summit, my second cleaning with the new Doc & staff. Hygienist was thorough, professional and friendly. Took time to advise before & after doc exam. Doc worked in exam before starting on another patient so I didn’t have to wait for him after cleaning. Both listened to my concerns and discussed. Didn’t feel ‘upsale’ pressure. Confident in new doc & crew.
5
Very welcoming from the front desk through the entire process of x-rays, cleaning and exam. Professional, knowledgeable and an overall feeling that you’re part of the family. Very highly recommended and no feeling of up-selling!
5
My husband and I have been coming to this office for over 20 years. Very clean office. The doctor and staff are very personable. The office is always very clean and smells nice. I have referred quite a few people to this office over the years.

I had not been to a dentist for over three years. When I went to Desert Summit tree, I found that I needed to have a tooth removal a bridge and a crown. Dr. Cicero work on my teeth was great. He made sure that everything was perfect before permanently setting my crown and bridge. I can't feel any difference between my old and new teeth. Staff was very friendly and works as professionally as Dr Cicero.

Taryn was very professional and kind. She did an absolutely wonderful job! I would definitely see her again.😎

It was great. Everyone is so nice, and friendly, and helpful. Taryn was great, and so is dr Ryan. They take their time, and answer all questions. My husband, hank, was equally as pleased. We wouldn't go anywhere else!!
5
I am a new patient to Dr. Cicero who took over the practice of our previous dentist. As such, I was a little apprehensive since I didn’t have any history with him and because I was very happy with my previous dentist. Dr. Cicero has an excellent mannerism and a gentle hand. He completed a complicated procedure on me and did an excellent job. I would recommend him highly. Also the staff at Desert Summit Dentistry is very professional and very friendly. A big thumbs up to Desert Summit Dentistry.
5
Life changing dental experience. Had an annoying ill fitting crown for years replaced by Dr Cicero. My new crown is fantastic. No more jamming food between my teeth and I can eat comfortably without worrying about how sore my gums will be. Dr Cicero was just awesome and efficient. Good experience.

My 1st experience with Dr.Ryan, in the chair. I was impressed with his professional mannerand competence. I am even more satisfied with the finished result. I'm comfortable about my future dental care.
5
I felt like he reviewed my chart and understood everything about my health. Very nice. Just extra glad I didn’t have to drive 1 1/2 hours both ways to get there
5
I moved to the Phoenix area in 2022. One of the hardest jobs was replacing medical services. I tried a corporate dental practice, which I didn't care for, before settling on the family practice of Desert Summit Dentistry. I really like my hygenist, April, and Dr. Cicero! They are great. And the prices for a cleaning and x-rays are comparable to what I paid back home.

My visit was awesome!
