    Mark
  • "I have received excellent dental care from Dr. Winterfield-Dodds for the last several years. It wasn't until I began the Invisalign process three years ago that I could truly appreciate the dedicated professionalism and expertise of Dr. Winterfield and the entire staff. Every time I look in the mirror I see a smile that I never thought I could have."
    M. Hopke
  • "I've been a patient of Dr. Winterfield-Dodds for several years and have always been completely happy with the care I've received. But this past year I had an experience that made it clear to me what a great dentist Dr. Winterfield really is.
Early in 2008 I had an extremely bad abscess in a tooth that previously had a root canal. I was unlucky enough to have the pain start on a weekend during a snowstorm and was forced to see another dentist on an emergency basis for medication. I was told during the visit that because a root canal had already been done, my only option was to have the tooth removed. I left the appointment pretty much accepting there was no other choice, especially since I don't react well to most antibiotics.
Dr. Winterfield-Dodds, however, not only found a way to treat the infection and save the tooth, but also took the time to figure out why it happened in the first place and made sure it wouldn't happen again."
    D. Perna
  • "My wife and I have always been pleased with any treatments and procedures received from you. We have great confidence and trust in your work."
    N. DeBlois
  • "I have been a patient of Dr. Winterfield-Dodds since approximately 1988 and I would like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude for all her professionalism and dental expertise in helping to maintain my current state of dental health, and my family's as well. Her attention to detail and personal touch are exemplary for the dental profession! She truly listens to the patient's concerns and advises them as to the proper course of treatment and not the most costly form of treatment. Her professional mannerism has reinstalled my faith in the dental profession, which was lost after having been to many who just don't care about the patient or the patient's concerns."
    M. Driber
  • "I've been a patient of Dr. Winterfield-Dodds for more than 15 years and have always received the highest quality dental care possible. She and her staff manage the balance between the professionalism one expects and a friendly and un-intimidating atmosphere one might desire"
    F. Schaaf
