I recently had my first appointment at Bridge Street Dental Center and had such a positive experience. From the moment I arrived, the entire team was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Michelle, my hygienist, was incredibly kind and thorough and made the cleaning comfortable from start to finish. Dr. Purvis was equally wonderful! He was personable, took his time during the exam, and clearly explained everything he reviewed. Tammy and Jenn completed the experience by making checkout and scheduling my next appointment quick and easy. I highly recommend the Bridge Street team for all your dental needs!
