Very happy to have found Douglas Valley Dentistry. From the moment I walked in I felt welcome and comfortable. We were previously going to an all-female practice in Cumberland, RI which we loved. Due to an insurance change we've made a switch (well, my wife and daughter will soon - I'm the guinea pig), and the difference is barely noticeable - 5-stars then, 5-stars now.
Each staff member I met was warm, with a joyful demeanor - seriously! The dental assistant, Katie, was wonderful, very informed and notably concerned with my comfort. I also briefly met Lori, another assistant, and she too was very nice.
The hygienist, Laurie, is outstanding. She has a lot of experience, and obviously remains quite happy and satisfied with her work. She has an incredibly gentle and deft touch during a cleaning. I should disclose that I actually enjoy having my teeth cleaned. Laurie is probably the 12th hygienist to have cleaned my teeth and she's in the top two, easy.
Last but not least: Dr. Sharma. She is a lovely person and a highly competent dentist. She spent quite a bit of time during the first exam to get to know me, my history, as well as any concerns I might have. I'm happy to say that I now know I will continue to look forward to visiting the dentist. read more
