I am age 69 and saw Dr Bridgeman and her staff as a new patient. I have never had such a thorough examination and "tour" of my dental status as I did here. From the minute I talked to Judy to arrange appointments, to the visit and exam with Dr Bridgeman, to the cleaning with Kathy, everything was comfortable, very safe, professional and educational. How many people can say they truly enjoyed spending their day with their dentist and staff ??!! I highly recommend this practice.

I can't say enough about Dr Bridgeman and her staff. I can't imagine anyone enjoys going to the dentist, however going to Dr Bridgeman isn't like that her and her staff is very knowledgeable and can be lots of fun.

Have had three fillings done by Dr. Bridgeman. I always feel comfortable and safe. She and her staff do an excellent job. I've also received some useful advice from her that I never received from prior practices.
