Testimonials

“I am Eric R Stephan, DMD, (now retired) and was a dentist in Gig Harbor for 30 years. My wife and I have lived on Raft Island since 1981. Gig Harbor is fortunate in having some outstanding dentists. I personally see Dr. Melissa Spaulding in “The Woods” office complex and endorse her practice completely. Excellent skill level, honest, caring, and great staff.”

“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!”
