  • Wonderful

    Extremely clean office. Wonderful and helpful front office workers. Dental assistants were very nice and friendly. Dr. Zoccolillo was so nice. She is very thorough and takes her time to explain everything to you and make sure you get the proper care. I will come back anytime to the office to have something done.

  • So Glad I Found Her And This Practice

    Dr. Zoccolillo and her staff are caring and compassionate. She is an easygoing and down-to-earth human. I looked all around for the right oral surgeon as there are none in my insurance network in my town of Salisbury. I’m so glad I found her and this practice. I highly recommend them.

  • What a Great Job!

    The team at Carolinas Center for Oral & Facial Surgery in Mooresville, NC, was professional, knowledgeable, and very good at extraction and bone graft surgery! Dr. Michelle L. Zoccolillo, DDS, MD, was informative regarding what to expect prior to the procedure and provided all of the information needed on post-operative care. In fact, today is the day after surgery and have zero pain and no bruising, etc. What a great job done by all in this office. Thank you!
