This isn't your standard Drs. office. You will feel welcomed and well cared for when you leave. The staff and Dr. Zucarro are very personal in addition to being very professional. I can't believe i am saying this, but i actually look forward to this visit. Thank you Dr. Zucarro and staff.

On 12/3/2025 Mac McKinsey had this to say:
One of the absolute HARDEST things to do as part of moving is to choose a whole new slate of healthcare providers, esp. at my age. I would have taken my Atlanta dentist and his team with me if I could. But I was blessed to have found Dr. Joe and his team well over a year ago when I moved back to the Dubuque area. Compassionate, friendly, competent, LISTENS...all makes the dental part of my healthcare SO much better. just yesterday, I had to take the first step in replacing a broken crown in the far back of my throat, I gag EXTREMELY easily and always look at this initial step -- including dealing with the awful impression material -- a terrible, unpleasant burden. But Dr. Zuccaro and his team have advanced digital scanning technology that made all of that unnecessary. I was fitted with a temporary crown and look forward to the permanent one in a couple of weeks. I couldn't be more pleased and impressed, and I continue to consider myself fortunate to have found this practice, I highly recommend.,
