The best part about this dental office is the "bed side manor" of the staff. I use to really dislike going to dentist offices but at Harbor Cove they make you feel welcome and at ease which is no small task when you think about how painful and/or uncomfortable dental work can be. Angela in the front office and Amy the hygienist are especially great to work with. I have gone there for 9 years and counting even though I moved away from Gloucester and the drive is now a long one.

Friendly staff, thorough hygienist, knowledgeable and compassionate dentist are some of the reasons I go to Harbor Cove. I especially appreciate that Dr Vaillancourt is considerate enough to sit face to face when discussing my dental care, rather than just as he's in my mouth doing an exam. This is a very "patient-centered" practice.

After 40+ years with another dental group ( out of town), I finally made the decision to switch to someplace more local. I wish i had done it sooner! Everyone at Harbor Cove is so professional, so competent and so friendly. It is impossible to express how happy i am at my new "dental home!"
