In 1977, while still training in Buffalo, NY, Dr. Robert Edwards received a call from a Dental Supply Representative in Springfield, MA asking if Dr. Gary Delair and he would be willing to look at an opportunity in Stockbridge, MA. Apparently, there was a new building being constructed in the center of town and the owner had promised the town fathers that he would try to bring some essential services to the second floor of the building, such as a doctor and a dentist.

Dr. Delair and Dr. Edwards drove to Stockbridge in September 1977 and met with the owner to begin the process of negotiation. By January 1978, there was a lease in place and construction began to transform the 1400 square foot shell into a two operatory facility with a business office, waiting room, x-ray room and lots of room for expansion! Dr. Delair and Dr. Edwards moved to the Berkshires in July 1978 and officially opened the Stockbridge office on August 21, 1978. In 1981, the doctors were approached with another opportunity to purchase a practice on Main Street in Great Barrington, MA as a second location. They agreed and started rotating between both offices, keeping them both open five days a week. They quickly outgrew the Great Barrington location and three years later moved to Maple Avenue. Five years later, again outgrowing their office, they moved to the current location at Lewis Avenue, a larger more modern facility in a converted orthopedic suite across from Fairview Hospital.

In 2007, in an effort to improve availability and service, they recruited Dr. Jolene Krol to join the practice. Two years later, she became a full time partner and the practice was formally changed to Delair, Edwards and Krol, PC Family Dentistry.

In 2014, due to some serious back issues, Dr. Delair was forced to leave the practice and Drs. Edwards and Krol continued running both locations full time while searching for a new partner. In 2015, Dr. Elena Nazarov joined the practice as a specialist in reconstructive dentistry and once again there were three.

A native of the Berkshires, Dr. Krol has deep roots in the community. After receiving a bachelor of science in management from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, she attended Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, earning her Doctor of Dental Medicine in 2007.

Dr. Kroljoined the practice in 2007 and became a partner in 2009. Aside from the practice, Dr. Krol has been active in the wider dental community, as a member of the Berkshire District Dental Society, Massachusetts Dental Society, American Dental Association and International Team for Implantology.

Dr. Krol is the former chairperson for the Berkshire District Dental Society for 2015-2017 and currently serves as treasurer. She earned the Massachusetts Dental Society's Top Ten Under Ten award, which recognizes 10 exceptional Massachusetts dentists who graduated from dental school within the past 10 years.

She also serves on the Berkshire District Dental Society continuing education committee. She has enjoyed volunteering her dental services tounder-served children and families in the Berkshires through programs of the Massachusetts Dental Society and other local efforts, and also volunteered in the Dominican Republic to provide free dental services to those in need.
