Over the last 25 years, Dr. Canepa and staff have taken great care of my family's dental needs. From routine checkups to needed procedures, Dr. Canepa demonstrates her expertise with exceptional competence and compassion. I chose Dr. Canepa because of her qualifications (graduating from Case), and because of her warm caring and pleasant personality. My young children loved her. They felt comfortable going to the dentist and always left with a smile. Yes, I have the pictures to prove it! As adults, my granddaughter is a patient as well. Throughout the years, Dr. Canepa and her staff carefully monitored and explained all my questions and concerns regarding dental health. Her use of new equipment and technology demonstrates her desire to give the best treatment to her patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Linda Rak Canepa.
