Very friendly and knowledgeable staff!! Actually able to make appointments here at our convienience!! They explain everything her very well and break down any cost you may gave for care.. you can definitely do services based in your budget they help you understand any benefits you have and options available to you. No pressure to do more than you can afford or went to do..no added costs no added pressure to do other treatments.. (I've had experienced at other places pressuring for whitening, invisilign, seems they often find things wrong that are just not likely) absolutely no "Shame" about any lapses in care etc.. I say give then a try and see how different they truly are!

I seriously don't like leaving bad reviews but I have given this place thousands of dollars in the past 2 years. You miss one appointment and they ban you from being scheduled again. the dentist is always in such a rush every time I go there too. Regret giving them so much of my hard earned money. I'd find another dental office if I were you!

I ve been going to this office(previously Lehigh Dentistry) for about 30 years and am very satisfied with the level of service from the entire staff. I am most impressed with the total professional work that Dr. Lottridge has performed over the years . She has done many crowns and extensive work to keep all my teeth in place and functional with very minimal pain or discomfort. I wouldn't trust my mouth to anyone else.

Terrific personnel can make or break a service organization. This dental office is new to me, and after a couple of visits everything has been great. Don't let the "Sherry's" confuse you, because they're all wonderful!

I've been going to this dentist office for about five years now. And I've invited some of my close family and friends to join this Dentistry as well. And my dental hygienist Sherry B. Is very welcoming, very kind and gentle. I feel very at home in her chair and I definitely recommend her to any and everyone! ~L.Bertrand
