“I have always been very happy with Spaulding Dental Co. Everyone from the office staff to the hygienist is wonderful. Dr. Spaulding went out of her way to see that I was connected to people who could care for me after a fall. This was on a Friday evening and it meant a lot to me that I felt reassured that everything was going to be okay! I also have had great checkups with Dr. Rogers and was very pleased with some work she did recently. I would definitely recommend this practice!”
