James Romano, DDS

Dentists in the outer loops of Rochester tend to cluster near the big-box plazas, where the hum of drills blends with the rumble of shopping carts. James Romano, DDS keeps a quieter address inside Building H, a low-slung office park that feels more like a neighborhood annex than a medical corridor. The suite number—220—is stenciled on the glass door just past the elevator, a detail easy to miss if you’re scanning for the usual strip-mall signage.

The practice sits at 2400 S Clinton Ave, a stretch of asphalt that connects the city’s east-side residential pockets with the commercial sprawl near 490. Patients who prefer a dentist outside the downtown core often end up here, where the parking lot is shared with a physical therapy clinic and a tax preparer, a mix that keeps the vibe decidedly local. Cleanings, fillings, and the occasional crown are handled without the fanfare of a corporate chain, though the office does offer digital X-rays and same-day crowns for those who need them.

Routine check-ups and emergency repairs alike land on the schedule; you can reach the front desk at (585) 341-7177 to book an appointment. Directions are simplest via the map listing—here’s the link—and the drive from the city center rarely tops twenty minutes when traffic behaves. If you’re the type who still scribbles addresses on sticky notes, this one’s worth keeping in the glove box.
