My dentist ! - His work was perfection - I can attest to this, having spent many hours in different dental offices, including Paris ! Meticulous work and care for his patients. He worked with such focus. I never wanted to distract him with conversation. At the same time, when he completed his work, he always had time for a chat. His sisters were lovely and so friendly.
I loved Dr. Mike, as did everyone. Go with God. Judith

So sorry to hear of his passing. We grew up together, born on the same street, went to St. Mary and Boston Latin.
Lots of great memories!
RIP Mikey.

I am so sad. My sincere condolences to his family and the dental office. Dr Ficociello was my dentist for close to 30 years. He was simply the very best. He was kind, so patient, very funny and a wonderful man. I loved the stories about his family and his dogs. My heart is broken but I have wonderful memories. RIP Dr. Ficociello.

Dr. Mike was my dentist for 26 years. He is the reason I still have most of my original teeth. The best dentist ever!!! He will be missed.

My deepest sympathy to all of Dr. Michael´s family. He was truly a good man as well as a phenomenal dentist. I will treasure the many memories over the years when he was not only my dentist but became a friend! His compassion when I lost my nephew was truly heartfelt as he was also a Stonehill alum and grad! He was my dentist so long I remember when we discussed Laura being too young to have a Barbie doll! He truly loved his family. May he Rest in the Sweetest of Peace! God Bless!

I am so sad to hear of Dr. Michael's passing. Dr. Michael was my dentist for basically my whole life. He was warm and caring and very considerate. I looked forward to going to the dentist because of him. I loved going to Bulfinch place next to Area A, as well as Tremont Street. I remember his sisters working there too. Rest in Peace Dr. Michael, you will be missed.
