Im Tammi, one of Dr. Ellis assistants. Ive been a dental assistant for over 19 years and have been with Dr. Ellis for over six years. I was born in Tennessee but was raised in Michigan where I received my RDA in assisting at Mott Community College. I also received a Bachelors in Health Science from the University of Michigan-Flint. I have two beautiful children, one in grade school and the other a freshman in college. I work at the Durham Rescue Mission dental clinic to provide dental care to the residents in the facility. I also work with the Army National Guard to provide dental care to the men and women who serve throughout North Carolina. So, if I had some spare time, I would love to read a good book and relax.

Dr. Goodridge provides excellent dental care and takes pride in his work. He does his best to make you comfortable while you are in his chair. The hygienists and assistants also go above and beyond to be sure that you know how to take proper care of any issues. Not enough stars available in my opinion. 10/10!

I never had such a thorough dental exam! Every aspect of my dental care was discussed by Dr. Goodridge with care and competence. The assistant was lovely and very competent as well, and the front desk welcoming. I'm almost looking forward to my cleaning appointment!

Dr. Goodridge was very thorough when checking my mouth/teeth. He seems to be a personable person on first impression. I like that he has the same philosophy as my previous dentist when it comes to the care of my teeth.

Personable, welcoming front desk. Great hygienists, knowledgeable and so gentle. Dr Goodridge is wonderful, very confident but takes the time to explain everything. You really get the feeling here that they want your experience to be the best ever. Plus the office and rooms are very pleasant and there's plenty of free parking. I am really happy to be here.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Goodridge and the excellent care I have received from him over the years. His calm demeanor and gentle approach have always made my dental experience such a positive one. Whereas other dental practices in the past have at times felt invasive, Dr. Goodridge's approach has always felt so soothing. He cares deeply about the health and well-being of all of his patients and it shows. I feel extremely grateful to have received such excellent care from both him and the friendly staff and highly recommend this practice.

Dr. Goodridge was very gentle in handling my mouth. He is filling big shoes taking over our dentist of 45 years and my dentist phobic husband took to him on the first visit!

Friendly staff. They worked me in for an emergency within 36 hours. Following a referral to an Endodontist, Dr. Goodridge personally called to check on me following the procedure. The Goodridge team is competent and caring.

Dental care was OK but I can now brine and cook a turkey like a classically trained chef! Kidding - Dr. Goodridge provided superb dental care, as well, and I love my hygienist.

Dr Goodridge took a lot of time with me I am very dental phobic . He went out of his way to listen to me and make me feel comfortable. He didn't push unneeded medical care on me, in fact, he said I didn't need what another dentist was pushing me to have that cost a lot . Very kind , caring dentist . The best of the best ! Such a decent man he didn't even charge me for seeing him before my cleaning so I could get to know him . Love this dentist and I am a big chicken !
